Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1658655-1 is the direct substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity Erni 183010. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The substitute part carries active product status, ensuring manufacturer support, continued production, and availability for both new designs and field service applications. The original part's obsolete classification creates supply chain risk and limits long-term component sourcing.

Functional Equivalence: Both components are D-Sub housing plugs with identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 9-position, 2-row configuration with DE/E shell size and free-hanging mounting type.

Compliance and Certifications: The substitute part is ROHS3 compliant and carries EAR99 export classification, meeting current regulatory requirements. The original part's ECCN classification as "OBSOLETE" reflects its discontinued status.

Series Designation: The substitute part belongs to the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series, a current TE Connectivity D-Sub connector line with established design documentation and technical support resources.

Material and Construction: The substitute specifies steel shell with tin plating (200µin/5.08µm thickness) and polyamide nylon glass-filled dielectric material, providing defined material properties for design verification and environmental performance assessment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity AMP 1658655-1 directly replace the TE Connectivity Erni 183010 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components are D-Sub housing plugs with identical position counts (9), row configurations (2), shell sizes (DE/E), and mounting types (free-hanging in-line). The substitute meets all critical mechanical and electrical parameters required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 183010?

A: The 183010 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued production and limited availability. The 1658655-1 is an active product with ongoing manufacturer support and guaranteed supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there any material or construction differences between these parts?

A: The substitute part specifies steel shell with tin plating and polyamide nylon glass-filled dielectric material. The original part's material specifications are not provided in available documentation. Both components function identically as D-Sub housing plugs for 9-position male contact configurations.

Q: What is the packaging format for the substitute part?

A: The TE Connectivity AMP 1658655-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your specific procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Does the substitute part include contacts?

A: No. The 1658655-1 is a housing component only. Contacts must be procured separately and are not included with this part.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The 1658655-1 is ROHS3 compliant and carries EAR99 export classification. REACH status is listed as vendor undefined. Verify compliance requirements for your specific application and regulatory jurisdiction.

Q: Is the substitute part available in inventory?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity AMP 1658655-1 has 1,308 pieces in new original stock, ensuring immediate availability for procurement and production scheduling.

Q: What is the base product number for the substitute?

A: The base product number is 1658655. The full part number 1658655-1 includes the specific variant designation.
