Amphenol Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies 787A-M8-IS Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 787A-M8-IS is an IEPE accelerometer sensor manufactured by Amphenol Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies, designed for single-axis (X-axis) acceleration measurement. This motion sensor operates across a measurement range of ±80g with a bandwidth spanning 0.5Hz to 10kHz, delivering analog voltage output suitable for industrial vibration monitoring and condition-based maintenance applications. The component maintains Active product status and is RoHS Compliant, with 736 units currently in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity when the primary part number becomes unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 787A-M8-IS are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic is based on the following key parameters that must remain identical:

• Acceleration Range: ±80g
• Sensitivity: 100 mV/g
• Bandwidth: 0.5Hz ~ 10kHz
• Output Type: Analog Voltage
• Supply Voltage: 18V ~ 30V
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 120°C
• Measurement Axis: X Axis
• Mounting Type: Chassis Mount
• Package Type: Module
• Sensor Type: Analog

The substitute part 787A meets all parametric requirements for direct substitution with the 787A-M8-IS. Both components share identical electrical performance characteristics, environmental operating conditions, and mechanical mounting specifications. The 787A represents the base product number variant and maintains full compatibility with applications requiring the specified acceleration measurement range and sensitivity profile.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 787A-M8-IS and 787A are Active product status components manufactured by Amphenol Wilcoxon Sensing Technologies and maintain full RoHS Compliance certification. Selection between these parts is based on availability and procurement requirements rather than technical performance differentiation, as all electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

The 787A substitute part currently maintains higher inventory availability with 1137 units in stock compared to 736 units for the 787A-M8-IS. Both components satisfy identical application requirements for X-axis acceleration measurement in the ±80g range with 100 mV/g sensitivity across the 0.5Hz to 10kHz bandwidth.

For applications requiring compliance documentation, both parts carry RoHS Compliant status and Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions during storage or assembly.
