Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 87191-2 socket contact is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Socket contact type (Pin or Socket classification)
• Wire gauge range (28-30 AWG)
• Crimp termination method
• Contact finish thickness (100.0µin / 2.54µm)
• Base product number (87191)
• Series designation (AMPMODU)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1)

Variable Parameters Permitting Substitution:

• Contact finish material composition (Tin-Lead versus Tin)
• Packaging configuration (standard versus bulk)
• RoHS compliance status

The substitute part 5-87191-2 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications for wire gauge, termination method, finish thickness, and moisture sensitivity. The primary differences are the contact finish material (Tin instead of Tin-Lead) and RoHS compliance classification (ROHS3 Compliant versus RoHS non-compliant).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring RoHS non-compliant components: The 87191-2 maintains the original Tin-Lead contact finish specification and is classified as RoHS non-compliant. This part is suitable for legacy systems, military applications, or designs where RoHS compliance is not a requirement.

For applications requiring RoHS compliance: The 5-87191-2 substitute part is ROHS3 Compliant and provides equivalent electrical and mechanical performance through its Tin contact finish. This part accommodates modern regulatory requirements while maintaining compatibility with the 28-30 AWG wire gauge and crimp termination specifications.

For packaging considerations: The 87191-2 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 5-87191-2 is supplied in bulk packaging. Selection between these options depends on procurement volume requirements and inventory management protocols.

Both parts maintain Active product status, identical wire gauge specifications, matching contact finish thickness, and unlimited moisture sensitivity classification (MSL 1).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-87191-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 87191-2?

A: The 5-87191-2 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the 87191-2 for applications where the contact finish material change from Tin-Lead to Tin is acceptable. Both parts maintain identical wire gauge (28-30 AWG), crimp termination, contact finish thickness (100.0µin), and moisture sensitivity specifications. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between Tin-Lead and Tin?

A: The contact finish material affects compliance with environmental regulations. The 87191-2 uses Tin-Lead finish and is RoHS non-compliant, while the 5-87191-2 uses Tin finish and is ROHS3 Compliant. Both finishes provide equivalent contact finish thickness (100.0µin / 2.54µm) and are suitable for crimp termination on 28-30 AWG conductors.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 87191-2 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 5-87191-2 is supplied in bulk packaging. This distinction affects order quantities and storage considerations but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do both parts belong to the same product series?

A: Yes. Both the 87191-2 and 5-87191-2 are part of the AMPMODU series from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and share the same base product number (87191).

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these socket contacts?

A: Both parts support 28-30 AWG wire gauges with crimp termination. This specification is consistent across the 87191-2 and 5-87191-2.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these parts?

A: Both parts are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
