TE Connectivity 5745878-2 D-Sub Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 5745878-2 is a 9-position D-Sub plug connector with right-angle solder termination, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features male pins, a DE/E shell size (Size 1), and gold-flashed contacts rated for 6A at 125V operation across a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

The 5745878-2 carries an obsolete product status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support legacy system maintenance and repair operations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 5745878-2 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector style: D-Sub
• Connector type: Plug with male pins
• Number of positions: 9
• Number of rows: 2
• Shell size and layout: 1 (DE, E)
• Mounting type: Through hole, right angle
• Termination method: Solder
• Contact type: Signal

Operational Compatibility Parameters:

• Current rating must equal or exceed 6A
• Voltage rating must equal or exceed 125V
• Operating temperature range must encompass -55°C to 105°C
• Contact finish must be gold or equivalent conductive material

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) DEPL09P565GTXLF satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and exceeds operational requirements with a 7.5A per contact rating, 1000V voltage rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating range. This part qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity connector.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) DEPL09P565GTXLF is the qualified substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 5745878-2. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, including 9-position D-Sub configuration, right-angle through-hole mounting, and solder termination.

Performance Superiority: The DEPL09P565GTXLF provides enhanced electrical performance with 7.5A per contact current capacity and 1000V voltage rating, both exceeding the original 6A and 125V specifications. The extended operating temperature range to 125°C provides additional thermal margin.

Compliance Status: The DEPL09P565GTXLF maintains RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating, ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing and environmental standards. The original part's ROHS3 compliance is matched by the substitute's RoHS compliance status.

Supply Availability: The DEPL09P565GTXLF is active in production with documented inventory, providing reliable sourcing for new designs and legacy system support.

Contact Finish Specification: The GXT™ gold plating on the DEPL09P565GTXLF provides specified thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm) compared to the flash gold finish of the original, ensuring consistent contact reliability and corrosion resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC DEPL09P565GTXLF directly replace the TE Connectivity 5745878-2 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical D-Sub 9-position plug configurations with right-angle solder termination and DE/E shell sizing. Mechanical and electrical interfaces are equivalent, enabling direct substitution without design modification.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), flange feature design (mating side female screwlock versus board side M3), and enhanced electrical ratings on the substitute. The DEPL09P565GTXLF provides higher current capacity (7.5A versus 6A), higher voltage rating (1000V versus 125V), and extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -55°C to 105°C).

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the different flange features?

A: The flange feature difference (mating side female screwlock on the original versus board side M3 on the substitute) affects mounting configuration but does not impact electrical compatibility. Design review is necessary to confirm mechanical mounting compatibility with the target application.

Q: Does the DEPL09P565GTXLF meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The DEPL09P565GTXLF is RoHS compliant and carries MSL 1 rating, matching the compliance profile of the original TE Connectivity connector. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring environmental and moisture sensitivity compliance.

Q: What is the significance of the GXT™ gold plating specification?

A: The GXT™ gold plating on the DEPL09P565GTXLF provides a defined thickness specification (30.0µin / 0.76µm) compared to the flash gold finish on the original. This ensures consistent contact performance, reduced contact resistance variation, and enhanced corrosion resistance across production batches.

Q: Is the higher voltage rating of the DEPL09P565GTXLF a concern for 125V applications?

A: No. The 1000V rating on the substitute provides design margin and does not introduce compatibility issues for 125V applications. Higher voltage ratings indicate superior dielectric properties and insulation quality, which are beneficial for signal integrity and reliability.

Q: Can the DEPL09P565GTXLF be used in temperature-critical applications requiring operation above 105°C?

A: The DEPL09P565GTXLF supports operation to 125°C, providing additional thermal margin compared to the original 105°C limit. Applications requiring sustained operation above 105°C benefit from this extended range.
