TE Connectivity Erni 063386 D-Sub Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Erni 063386 is a D-Sub receptacle connector with 37 positions, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination. This connector is classified as obsolete and is no longer in active production. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent substitute parts from the active AMPLIMITE HDE-20 series are necessary to ensure continued availability, supply chain reliability, and access to modern manufacturing support. The substitute parts maintain functional compatibility through matching connector style, position count, termination method, and electrical ratings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 063386 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: D-Sub
• Number of Positions: 37
• Termination Method: IDC, Discrete Wire
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 4 (DC, C)
• Voltage Rating: 250V
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS Compliance Status

Substitute Parts Identified:

1. 747564-9 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) – D-Sub Receptacle, Female Sockets, 37 Position, IDC termination. Active product status with 687 units in stock.

2. 1-747950-5 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) – D-Sub Plug, Male Pins, 37 Position, IDC termination. Active product status with 1206 units in stock. Note: This part represents the mating connector type (plug vs. receptacle).

Both substitute parts belong to the AMPLIMITE HDE-20 series and maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete 063386 through matching core parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Receptacle Replacement (Female Sockets):

Select 747564-9 when a direct functional replacement for the 063386 receptacle connector is required. This part maintains the same connector type (receptacle with female sockets), position count (37), and termination method (IDC). The 747564-9 is an active product with established manufacturing support, RoHS compliance certification, and consistent supply availability (687 units in stock). The AMPLIMITE HDE-20 series designation ensures compatibility with existing D-Sub connector ecosystems.

For Mating Plug Configuration:

Select 1-747950-5 when a complementary plug connector (male pins) is required to mate with receptacle connectors. This part provides the corresponding male pin configuration within the same AMPLIMITE HDE-20 series, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility. The 1-747950-5 offers higher inventory availability (1206 units in stock) and active product status.

Compliance Considerations:

Both substitute parts carry RoHS Compliant certification and UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings, meeting modern regulatory requirements. The 747564-9 is REACH Unaffected, while the 1-747950-5 is REACH Vendor Undefined. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 for export control purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the 063386 listed as obsolete?

A: The 063386 is no longer manufactured by TE Connectivity Erni. Obsolete status indicates end-of-life production. Substitute parts from the active AMPLIMITE HDE-20 series provide equivalent functionality with ongoing manufacturing support.

Q: Can 747564-9 directly replace the 063386?

A: Yes. Both are D-Sub receptacle connectors with 37 positions and IDC termination. The 747564-9 maintains the same connector type (female sockets) and electrical specifications, making it a direct functional equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between 747564-9 and 1-747950-5?

A: The 747564-9 is a receptacle connector (female sockets), while the 1-747950-5 is a plug connector (male pins). These are complementary mating parts within the same AMPLIMITE HDE-20 series. Selection depends on whether you need a receptacle or plug configuration.

Q: Are the substitute parts compatible with existing D-Sub 37-position systems?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts conform to D-Sub connector standards with 37 positions, shell size 4 (DC, C), and IDC termination. They are mechanically and electrically compatible with standard D-Sub 37-position connector systems.

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility for these connectors?

A: The 747564-9 supports discrete wire termination via IDC method. The 1-747950-5 supports wire gauge 22-26 AWG with IDC termination. Consult specific application requirements for wire gauge selection.

Q: Are RoHS certifications available for the substitute parts?

A: Yes. Both 747564-9 and 1-747950-5 are RoHS Compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: Both substitute parts operate across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, suitable for industrial and commercial applications requiring extended thermal performance.

Q: How do I select between the two substitute parts?

A: Choose 747564-9 if you need a receptacle connector (female sockets) to directly replace the 063386. Choose 1-747950-5 if you need the mating plug connector (male pins) for a complete connector pair assembly.
