TE Connectivity 206393-1 D-Sub Backshell Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 206393-1 is a 15-position hinged backshell connector from the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series, designed for D-Sub applications with 45° and 180° cable exit angles. This component is classified as an accessory backshell for D-Sub connectors and features unshielded construction with thermoplastic housing and black coloring.

The 206393-1 carries an obsolete product status, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for procurement and design continuity. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct compatibility with existing connector assemblies and cable configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 206393-1 is based on maintaining identical functional and mechanical parameters across the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series. The substitute part must satisfy the following criteria:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• 15-position configuration
• Shell Size A compatibility
• 15pos and HD26pos D-Sub size compatibility
• 45° and 180° cable exit angle capability
• Round cable type support
• Unshielded construction
• Thermoplastic material composition
• Black color specification
• Assembly hardware and strain relief inclusion
• 6-32 mating screw specification

The substitute part 5206393-1 meets all these parameters while offering improved product status and compliance certifications, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 206393-1.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 5206393-1 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 206393-1 based on complete parameter alignment across all functional and mechanical specifications. Selection of 5206393-1 is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute part carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support, whereas the main part is classified as Obsolete.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part 5206393-1 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, providing enhanced compliance documentation compared to the main part's undefined status. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications.

Moisture Sensitivity: The substitute part specifies Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions during storage and assembly.

Packaging: The substitute part is available in Bulk packaging with 2689 pieces in stock, compared to the main part's 751 pieces, providing superior supply chain availability.

All electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical between the two parts, confirming direct interchangeability in D-Sub connector assemblies requiring 15-position hinged backshells with 45° and 180° cable exit capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5206393-1 directly replace 206393-1 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 5206393-1 is a direct functional equivalent with identical specifications for number of positions (15), shell size (A), D-Sub compatibility (15pos and HD26pos), cable exit angles (45°, 180°), material composition (thermoplastic), color (black), and hardware configuration (6-32 mating screws). No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 206393-1 carries Obsolete product status, making 5206393-1 the active equivalent for continued procurement and design continuity. The substitute part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering Active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The main part 206393-1 does not specify packaging type, while the substitute 5206393-1 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This difference does not affect functional compatibility; it relates only to order quantity and delivery format.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications. The substitute part 5206393-1 provides additional compliance documentation with RoHS Compliant status and REACH Unaffected designation, whereas the main part's RoHS and REACH status are listed as Not Applicable and Vendor Undefined, respectively.

Q: What cable types are compatible with these backshells?

A: Both parts are specified for Round cable type with 45° and 180° cable exit angle options. These specifications apply uniformly to both the main part and substitute.

Q: Is the Moisture Sensitivity Level difference significant?

A: The substitute part specifies MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions. The main part lists MSL as Not Applicable. This difference does not affect compatibility; it provides additional handling guidance for the substitute part.

Q: What is the shell size compatibility?

A: Both parts are compatible with Shell Size A and support both 15pos and HD26pos D-Sub connector sizes within the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series.
