Engineering Selection Recommendations
Direct Equivalent (Same Manufacturer, RoHS Upgrade):
Part number 5788792-1 from TE Connectivity is a direct equivalent to 788792-1 with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary distinction is RoHS3 compliance status. Selection of 5788792-1 is appropriate for applications requiring RoHS3 certification or when the original part's non-compliant status presents regulatory constraints. Inventory availability is higher at 3546 pieces.
HARTING Substitutes (09681635811, 09681635812, 09681635813, 09681637811, 09681637813):
HARTING D-Sub 9-position plug connectors meet all core functional requirements with the following considerations:
- Current rating is increased to 6.5A, providing additional margin over the 6A specification of the primary part
- Operating temperature range extends to 125°C, compared to 105°C for the primary part
- All HARTING substitutes are RoHS3 compliant
- Flange configurations vary: M3 threaded housing (09681635811, 09681637811), 4-40 threaded housing (09681635812, 09681637812), and mating-side female screwlock (09681635813, 09681637813)
- Contact finish options include Gold or Gold-Palladium (09681635811, 09681635812, 09681635813) or unspecified finish (09681637811, 09681637813)
Selection among HARTING variants depends on flange mounting requirements and contact finish specifications for the target application.
NorComp Inc. Substitutes (182-009-113R161, 182-009-113R171, 182-009-113R181, 182-009-113R531):
NorComp Inc. 182 series D-Sub 9-position plug connectors provide functional equivalence with the following characteristics:
- Current rating is 5A, which is lower than the 6A specification of the primary part
- Operating temperature range matches the primary part at -55°C to 105°C
- All NorComp substitutes are RoHS3 compliant
- Mounting type includes panel mount capability in addition to through-hole right-angle configuration
- Shell material is steel with nickel plating, differing from the tin-plated finish of the primary part
- Flange configurations include unthreaded housing (182-009-113R161), 4-40 threaded housing (182-009-113R171, 182-009-113R531), and mating-side female screwlock (182-009-113R181)
- Part 182-009-113R531 offers the highest inventory availability at 10462 pieces
NorComp substitutes are suitable for applications where the 5A current rating is sufficient and panel mount capability is beneficial. The nickel-plated finish provides alternative corrosion resistance characteristics compared to tin plating.
Compliance Considerations:
The original part 788792-1 is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts listed are either RoHS3 compliant or have undefined REACH status. Applications subject to RoHS regulations require selection from the compliant substitute list.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I substitute 5788792-1 for 788792-1 in existing designs?
A: Yes. Part 5788792-1 is electrically and mechanically identical to 788792-1. The only difference is RoHS3 compliance certification. Direct substitution is valid for all applications. Higher inventory availability (3546 vs. 1048 pieces) may provide supply chain advantages.
Q: What is the primary difference between TE Connectivity and HARTING D-Sub 9-position plugs?
A: Both manufacturers provide functionally equivalent 9-position D-Sub plugs with identical shell size, pin count, and mounting configuration. HARTING variants offer increased current rating (6.5A vs. 6A) and extended operating temperature range (125°C vs. 105°C). Flange configurations and contact finish options differ between manufacturers.
Q: Can I use a HARTING 09681635811 in place of 788792-1?
A: Yes, with the following considerations: The HARTING part features an M3 threaded flange instead of 4-40 threads. This requires verification that the PCB mounting holes accommodate M3 fasteners. The increased current rating and temperature range provide additional performance margin. RoHS3 compliance is provided.
Q: Why do NorComp 182 series connectors have lower current ratings?
A: The NorComp 182 series is rated for 5A continuous current, compared to 6A for the primary part and 6.5A for HARTING variants. This difference reflects design and material choices by the manufacturer. Selection of NorComp parts is appropriate only when the application current requirement does not exceed 5A.
Q: What is the difference between Housing/Shell (4-40) and Mating Side Female Screwlock (4-40) flange features?
A: Housing/Shell (4-40) flange features threaded holes on the connector housing for PCB mounting. Mating Side Female Screwlock (4-40) features threaded holes on the mating face for cable-side attachment. Selection depends on whether the connector is mounted to the PCB or to a mating connector assembly.
Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging as 788792-1?
A: No. The primary part 788792-1 is packaged in trays. TE Connectivity 5788792-1 is also tray-packaged. HARTING variants are supplied in bulk packaging. NorComp 182 series parts are tray-packaged. Packaging differences may affect procurement and handling procedures.
Q: Can I mix different manufacturers' D-Sub connectors in the same assembly?
A: Yes, provided that all connectors meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications for the application. Mixing manufacturers is acceptable from a functional standpoint. However, design documentation should clearly specify which manufacturer part is used in each location to ensure consistency during assembly and maintenance.
Q: What does "Backset Spacing 0.318" (8.08mm)" mean?
A: Backset spacing is the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the center line of the solder pins. This dimension is critical for PCB layout and ensures proper alignment of the connector with the circuit board. All listed substitutes maintain identical backset spacing of 0.318 inches (8.08mm), ensuring mechanical interchangeability.
Q: Is the gold contact finish on all substitute parts equivalent?
A: Contact finish specifications vary among manufacturers. The primary part specifies gold finish. HARTING parts offer gold or gold-palladium options. NorComp parts specify gold flash finish. While all provide gold-based contact surfaces, the thickness and composition may differ. For applications with specific contact resistance or durability requirements, contact finish specifications should be verified against application requirements.
Q: What is the significance of UL94 V-0 flammability rating?
A: UL94 V-0 is a material flammability classification indicating that the dielectric material will not propagate flame and will self-extinguish within specified time limits. All listed parts, including substitutes, meet this rating, ensuring compliance with safety standards for electrical connectors in various applications.
