TE Connectivity 1-1734530-4 D-Sub High Density Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The TE Connectivity 1-1734530-4 is a 15-position D-Sub high-density receptacle connector with female sockets, right-angle solder termination, and through-hole mounting. This connector is part of the AMPLIMITE HD-22 series and is classified as obsolete. The part features a nickel-plated steel shell with gold-flashed contacts, rated for 2A per contact at 125V, and operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.
Due to its obsolete product status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance, and production continuity. Substitute parts must maintain functional compatibility across critical electrical and mechanical parameters while meeting current availability and compliance requirements.

The original TE Connectivity part has 960 units in stock but is classified as obsolete, making transition to active substitute parts necessary for long-term design support.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the Mercury United Electronics 634-015-663-042 directly replace the TE Connectivity 1-1734530-4?
A: Yes. Both connectors share identical core specifications: 15-position, 3-row, high-density D-Sub receptacle configuration with solder termination, 0.350" backset spacing, through-hole right-angle mounting, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The Mercury part provides equal or superior electrical performance with 3A per contact rating versus the original 2A specification. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed across shell material, contact finish, and mounting dimensions.
Q: What are the key differences between the Mercury 634-015-663-042 and 634-015-663-043?
A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is the flange feature: the 634-015-663-042 includes housing/shell flange configuration (4-40), while the 634-015-663-043 features mating side female screwlock flange (4-40). Selection depends on the specific mounting interface requirements of the application. Both are available in tray packaging with comparable inventory levels.
Q: Why do some substitute parts specify higher voltage ratings (300V) than the original (125V)?
A: The Amphenol ICC ICD and L17HT series connectors are designed for broader application compatibility and include enhanced electrical specifications. A higher voltage rating does not affect compatibility with 125V applications; it indicates the connector can safely operate at higher voltages if required. These parts maintain all other mechanical and thermal specifications necessary for direct substitution.
Q: Are there operating temperature limitations when substituting with Mercury United Electronics parts?
A: Mercury United Electronics 634-series connectors operate across -55°C to 85°C, which is narrower than the original TE Connectivity specification of -55°C to 105°C. For applications requiring the full -55°C to 105°C range, the Mercury 634-015-563-012 or Amphenol ICC ICD/L17HT series parts are required. Verify application temperature requirements before final part selection.
Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness variations (Flash vs. 10.0µin vs. 30.0µin)?
A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and mating cycle life. Flash plating provides basic corrosion protection suitable for standard applications. The 10.0µin (0.25µm) and 30.0µin (0.76µm) thicknesses offer enhanced durability for high-cycle mating applications. All thicknesses maintain electrical performance and are compatible with the original connector interface. Selection depends on expected mating cycles and environmental exposure.
Q: What packaging options are available for these substitute parts?
A: Substitute parts are available in bulk and tray packaging formats. Mercury United Electronics 634-015-263-033, 634-015-263-040, and 634-015-563-012 are supplied in bulk packaging. Mercury 634-015-263-043, 634-015-663-042, and 634-015-663-043 are supplied in tray packaging. Amphenol ICC ICD15S13E4GX00LF is bulk packaged, while ICD15S13E4GV00LF is tray packaged. Amphenol ICC L17HT series parts are available in tray packaging. Packaging selection should align with production and inventory management requirements.
Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are either ROHS3 compliant (Mercury United Electronics 634-series) or RoHS compliant (Amphenol ICC ICD and L17HT series). The original TE Connectivity 1-1734530-4 is marked as "Not applicable" for RoHS status due to its obsolete classification. Transition to any of the listed substitute parts ensures compliance with current RoHS regulations.
Q: Which substitute part offers the best thermal performance?
A: The Amphenol ICC L17HTHES3R1C and L17HTHES4F1CVGA connectors provide the highest operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, compared to the original -55°C to 105°C specification. These parts are suitable for applications requiring extended thermal performance. Both maintain all other mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements.
Q: Can I use the Amphenol ICC ICD15S13E4GX00LF in applications originally designed for the TE Connectivity 1-1734530-4?
A: Yes. The ICD15S13E4GX00LF maintains mechanical compatibility with identical 15-position, 3-row, high-density D-Sub configuration, 0.350" backset spacing, and through-hole right-angle solder termination. It provides enhanced electrical specifications (300V rating, 3A per contact, -55°C to 125°C operating range) and is RoHS compliant. Verify flange feature compatibility with the specific mounting interface before implementation.
Q: What is the inventory status for substitute parts?
A: Combined inventory across all substitute parts exceeds 8000 units. The Amphenol ICC ICD15S13E4GV00LF has the highest availability with 2242 units in stock. Mercury United Electronics 634-015-663-042 has 1067 units, and ICD15S13E4GX00LF has 1184 units. All substitute parts are classified as active products with ongoing manufacturing support, ensuring long-term supply continuity compared to the obsolete original part.
