M7965-05 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The M7965-05 is a 2-position closed top jumper connector manufactured by Harwin Inc., designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This connector features gold-plated contacts rated for 250V and 3A, with a gray polyester glass-filled housing meeting UL94 V-0 flammability standards. The part is currently active in production with full RoHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications are required due to inventory constraints, design standardization, or supply chain considerations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the M7965-05 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Voltage rating (250V minimum), current rating (3A), and contact finish (gold plating)
• Mechanical Compatibility: Position count (2 positions, 1 x 2 grid), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), connector type (closed top with grip), and gender (female sockets)
• Environmental & Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance status, and MSL rating (1 - unlimited)

The substitute part 880584-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. While housing color differs (black vs. gray) and height varies (0.551" vs. 0.406"), these are non-functional variations that do not affect electrical performance or board-level compatibility in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 880584-1 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors is a qualified substitute for the M7965-05 based on matching electrical specifications, mechanical configuration, and compliance certifications. Both connectors maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and unlimited moisture sensitivity levels, ensuring equivalent performance in standard operating environments.

The primary differences—connector height and housing color—are cosmetic and do not affect electrical function or interchangeability in applications where the 2.54mm pitch, 3A current capacity, and 250V rating are required. The 880584-1 features increased contact finish thickness (15.0µin vs. 5.11µin), which may provide enhanced durability in high-cycle insertion applications.

Selection between these parts should be based on inventory availability, lead time requirements, and any design-specific constraints related to physical dimensions or color coding conventions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 880584-1 be used as a direct replacement for the M7965-05?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical ratings (3A, 250V), mechanical configuration (2 positions, 0.100" pitch, closed top grip, female sockets), and compliance certifications (UL94 V-0, RoHS, MSL 1). The height difference (0.551" vs. 0.406") and color variation (black vs. gray) do not affect electrical compatibility or standard board-level applications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match or are equivalent: position count and grid configuration, pitch spacing, connector type (closed top with grip), gender (female sockets), current rating (3A), contact finish (gold), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). Voltage rating and RoHS compliance must meet or exceed the original specification.

Q: Does the difference in contact finish thickness affect performance?

A: The 880584-1 provides thicker gold plating (15.0µin vs. 5.11µin), which is functionally equivalent and may offer improved contact durability in high-cycle insertion environments. This variation does not compromise electrical performance or interchangeability.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: The M7965-05 is available in standard packaging with 1099 pieces in stock. The 880584-1 is supplied in bulk packaging with 46415 pieces available. Selection should account for project volume requirements and supply chain lead times.

Q: What compliance standards apply to both connectors?

A: Both the M7965-05 and 880584-1 meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements, RoHS compliance standards, and maintain MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. ECCN classification for both is EAR99, and HTSUS code is 8538.90.8180.
