TE Connectivity Erni 183060 D-Sub Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity Erni 183060 is a D-Sub plug connector with 37 positions, configured for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination. This connector is classified as Obsolete and is no longer in active production. Due to its obsolete status, sourcing original units is limited to existing inventory. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts from active product lines is essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations requiring 37-position D-Sub connectivity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the TE Connectivity Erni 183060 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Style: D-Sub (D-Shaped)
• Number of Positions: 37
• Connector Type: Plug with Male Pins
• Termination Method: IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) and Discrete Wire capability
• Shell Size/Layout: 4 (DC, C)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)

Substitute Parts Identified:

1. 1-747950-5 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) – Direct functional equivalent. 37-position D-Sub plug with IDC termination, matching shell size and mounting configuration. Product Status: Active.

2. 747564-9 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) – Complementary receptacle connector. 37-position D-Sub receptacle with IDC termination, matching shell size and mounting configuration. Used in mated pair applications. Product Status: Active.

Both substitute parts belong to the AMPLIMITE HDE-20 series and maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original 183060 specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Plug Replacement:

Select 1-747950-5 when a 37-position D-Sub plug connector with IDC termination is required. This part is the primary equivalent to the obsolete 183060. The 1-747950-5 is currently in active production status with robust inventory availability (1206 units in stock). It maintains identical electrical ratings (250V, -55°C to 105°C operating range), mechanical configuration (37 positions, shell size 4, free-hanging mount), and termination capability (IDC and discrete wire). The part is RoHS Compliant and carries EAR99 ECCN classification.

For Mated Pair Applications:

Select 747564-9 as the complementary receptacle connector when a complete mated pair is required. This 37-position D-Sub receptacle maintains the same shell size, layout, and electrical specifications as the plug substitute. The 747564-9 is also in active production with 687 units in stock. Both parts belong to the AMPLIMITE HDE-20 series, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Compliance Considerations:

Both substitute parts are RoHS Compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification, suitable for standard commercial and industrial applications. The original 183060 RoHS status is not specified; however, the active substitutes meet current regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can the 1-747950-5 directly replace the obsolete 183060 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 1-747950-5 is a direct functional equivalent. Both are 37-position D-Sub plugs with IDC termination, identical shell size (4, DC/C layout), matching electrical ratings (250V, -55°C to 105°C), and equivalent contact materials (Phosphor Bronze with gold finish). The primary difference is that 1-747950-5 is in active production status.

Q2: What is the difference between the plug (1-747950-5) and receptacle (747564-9) substitutes?

A: The 1-747950-5 is a plug connector with male pins, functionally equivalent to the original 183060. The 747564-9 is a receptacle connector with female sockets, designed to mate with the plug. Both maintain identical position count (37), shell size, and electrical specifications. Use 747564-9 when the mating receptacle is required.

Q3: Are both substitute parts compatible with IDC termination?

A: Yes. Both 1-747950-5 and 747564-9 support IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) and discrete wire termination methods, matching the original 183060 specification.

Q4: What is the operating temperature range for the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts operate across -55°C to 105°C, identical to the original 183060 specification.

Q5: Are the substitute parts RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes. Both 1-747950-5 and 747564-9 are RoHS Compliant. The original 183060 RoHS status is not specified in available documentation.

Q6: What wire gauge is supported by the substitute plug connector?

A: The 1-747950-5 supports 22-26 AWG wire gauge for IDC and discrete wire termination.

Q7: What is the contact material composition?

A: Both substitute parts use Phosphor Bronze contacts with gold finish, providing reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance.

Q8: Are the substitute parts available in bulk packaging?

A: Yes. Both 1-747950-5 and 747564-9 are supplied in bulk packaging with current inventory of 1206 and 687 units respectively.
