Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 5745992-6 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: D-Sub
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 25
• Number of Rows: 2
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 3 (DB, B)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Backset Spacing: 0.590" (14.99mm)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Shell Material: Steel

Allowable Variations:

• Current Rating: The main part is rated at 6A; substitute parts rated at 5A are acceptable for applications not requiring the full 6A capacity
• Shell Finish: Tin plated (main part) versus nickel plated (substitute parts) are both acceptable finishes
• Contact Finish Thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm) versus flash thickness are both acceptable
• Flange Feature: Mating side female screwlock versus housing/shell mounting are both acceptable configurations
• Dielectric Material: Thermoplastic versus polyamide (PA9T) nylon 9T are both acceptable
• Contact Material: Phosphor bronze versus brass are both acceptable
• Voltage Rating: Main part specifies 125V; substitute parts with unspecified voltage rating are acceptable

All four substitute parts (183-025-213R171, 183-025-213R541, 183-025-213R561, 183-025-213R571) from NorComp Inc. meet these substitution criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four NorComp substitute parts (183-025-213R171, 183-025-213R541, 183-025-213R561, 183-025-213R571) are Active product status and maintain full compliance with RoHS3 and REACH regulations. The TE Connectivity 5745992-6 is RoHS Compliant, while all substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant, representing an enhanced compliance standard.

Selection Considerations Based on Provided Specifications:

NorComp 183-025-213R171: Features housing/shell flange mounting and does not include board lock functionality. This variant is suitable for applications requiring standard panel mounting without additional board retention features.

NorComp 183-025-213R541: Features mating-side female screwlock and board lock functionality. This configuration provides enhanced mechanical retention at both the mating interface and board level.

NorComp 183-025-213R561: Features mating-side female screwlock and board lock functionality, identical to 183-025-213R541 in mechanical configuration.

NorComp 183-025-213R571: Features housing/shell flange mounting with board lock functionality. This variant combines standard panel mounting with board-level retention.

All substitute parts operate within the identical temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) and maintain the same shell size, position count, and solder termination as the main part. The reduction in current rating from 6A to 5A across all substitutes is a minor variation acceptable for applications not requiring the full 6A capacity. All parts maintain gold contact finish and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can NorComp 183-025-213R171 directly replace TE Connectivity 5745992-6?

A: The NorComp 183-025-213R171 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the TE Connectivity 5745992-6 for applications requiring 5A or less current. The primary difference is the flange feature configuration: the main part uses mating-side female screwlock while the 183-025-213R171 uses housing/shell mounting. Both configurations are acceptable for D-Sub 25-position receptacles with identical shell size and backset spacing.

Q: What is the difference between the four NorComp substitute parts?

A: The four NorComp parts differ in two aspects: flange feature configuration and board lock functionality. The 183-025-213R171 and 183-025-213R571 use housing/shell flange mounting, while 183-025-213R541 and 183-025-213R561 use mating-side female screwlock. Additionally, 183-025-213R171 does not include board lock, while the other three variants include board lock functionality. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Is the 5A current rating of NorComp parts sufficient for applications using the 6A-rated TE Connectivity part?

A: The 5A rating of NorComp substitutes is lower than the 6A rating of the TE Connectivity 5745992-6. Substitution is appropriate only for applications drawing 5A or less. Applications requiring the full 6A capacity must use the TE Connectivity part or identify alternative suppliers offering 6A-rated 25-position D-Sub receptacles.

Q: Are there differences in shell finish between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 5745992-6 features a tin-plated steel shell, while all NorComp substitutes feature nickel-plated steel shells. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and are acceptable for standard D-Sub connector applications. The choice between tin and nickel plating depends on specific environmental and application requirements not specified in the provided parameters.

Q: Do the dielectric material differences affect compatibility?

A: The TE Connectivity 5745992-6 uses thermoplastic dielectric material, while NorComp substitutes use polyamide (PA9T) nylon 9T. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the identical temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). The dielectric material difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility for standard D-Sub applications.

Q: What is the significance of board lock functionality?

A: Board lock is a mechanical feature that provides additional retention of the connector to the printed circuit board during assembly and operation. The TE Connectivity 5745992-6 does not include board lock. NorComp parts 183-025-213R541, 183-025-213R561, and 183-025-213R571 include board lock, while 183-025-213R171 does not. Selection between board lock and non-board lock variants depends on application-specific mechanical retention requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts in active production?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 5745992-6 and all four NorComp substitute parts (183-025-213R171, 183-025-213R541, 183-025-213R561, 183-025-213R571) are classified as Active product status, indicating current production and availability.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 5745992-6 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected. All NorComp substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. ROHS3 represents an enhanced compliance standard relative to RoHS. All parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.
