• Connector Classification: The substitute belongs to the D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors category, representing TE Connectivity's modern connector architecture
• Active Product Status: The substitute part maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain reliability
• Compliance Certification: The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant status and EAR99 ECCN classification

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the TE Connectivity Erni 173010 and substitute part 5749080-1 should be based on the following engineering criteria:

For New Designs and Long-Term Applications: The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5749080-1 is the appropriate selection. This part maintains active product status, ensuring availability for future procurement cycles, ongoing technical support, and compliance with current regulatory standards including RoHS compliance.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The TE Connectivity Erni 173010 remains available in current inventory (1034 units) for applications requiring exact original component specifications. However, transition planning to the active substitute should be considered for systems with extended operational lifespans.

Compliance Considerations: The substitute part 5749080-1 carries explicit RoHS Compliant certification and EAR99 ECCN classification, meeting current export control and environmental compliance requirements. The original part's compliance status is not specified in available documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the TE Connectivity Erni 173010 listed as obsolete?

A: The TE Connectivity Erni 173010 has reached end-of-life status within TE Connectivity's product portfolio. The manufacturer has transitioned connector offerings to the AMP Connectors division, which produces the active substitute part 5749080-1.

Q: Can the 5749080-1 directly replace the 173010 in existing applications?

A: Direct replacement compatibility depends on the specific mechanical and electrical requirements of the application. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity and share the same manufacturer quality standards. However, physical form factor and connector interface specifications must be verified against application requirements before implementation.

Q: What is the difference between rectangular connectors and D-Sub connectors?

A: Rectangular connectors and D-Sub connectors represent different connector form factors and interface standards. The original part belongs to the rectangular connector category, while the substitute belongs to the D-Sub category. These categories differ in shell design, pin configuration, and mating interface specifications.

Q: Is the 5749080-1 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5749080-1 carries explicit RoHS Compliant certification, meeting environmental and hazardous substance restrictions required in current manufacturing and export applications.

Q: What is the ECCN classification for the substitute part?

A: The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5749080-1 carries EAR99 ECCN classification, indicating it is subject to standard export control regulations but does not require specific licensing for most commercial applications.

Q: How long will the original 173010 remain available?

A: Current inventory indicates 1034 units of the TE Connectivity Erni 173010 are available as new original stock. However, no replenishment is anticipated due to obsolete product status. Procurement planning should account for limited availability.
