• Number of positions: 9
• Number of rows: 2
• Shell size and layout: 1 (DE, E)
• Current rating: 6A
• Voltage rating: 125V
• Contact type: Signal
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact finish: Gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness

Mechanical Parameters:

• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination method: Solder
• Shell material and finish: Steel, Tin Plated
• Flange feature: Mating Side, Female Screwlock (4-40)
• Backset spacing: 0.590" (14.99mm)
• Features: Board Lock, Ground Strap

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Series: AMPLIMITE HD-20
• Packaging: Tube

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as parametric equivalents and direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts, 5747836-6 and 747836-6, are parametric equivalents to the main part 6-747836-8 and are suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring 9-position D-Sub receptacle connectors with the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics.

5747836-6 Substitute: This part maintains full parametric equivalence with all critical specifications. The part is RoHS Compliant and carries an active product status. REACH status is listed as Vendor Undefined; compliance verification with the component supplier is required for applications subject to REACH regulations.

747836-6 Substitute: This part maintains full parametric equivalence with all critical specifications. The part is active and carries REACH Affected status. RoHS status is listed as Not applicable; compliance verification with the component supplier is required for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Both substitute parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series and are packaged in tubes. Selection between the main part and substitutes should be based on inventory availability, compliance documentation requirements, and supply chain considerations. All three parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for applications operating within the specified temperature range of -55°C to 105°C and voltage/current ratings of 125V and 6A respectively.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the substitute parts 5747836-6 and 747836-6 directly interchangeable with 6-747836-8?

A: Yes. Both substitute parts are parametric equivalents meeting all electrical and mechanical specifications of the main part, including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, current and voltage ratings, operating temperature range, and material specifications. Direct substitution is supported for applications requiring 9-position D-Sub receptacle connectors with right-angle through-hole solder termination.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitutability for this D-Sub receptacle connector?

A: Substitutability is determined by equivalence across the following parameters: connector type (Receptacle, Female Sockets), number of positions (9), number of rows (2), shell size and layout (1 DE, E), mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), termination method (Solder), current rating (6A), voltage rating (125V), contact material (Phosphor Bronze), contact finish (Gold, 30.0µin thickness), shell material and finish (Steel, Tin Plated), flange feature (Mating Side, Female Screwlock 4-40), features (Board Lock, Ground Strap), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

Q: What is the difference in RoHS and REACH compliance between the main part and substitutes?

A: The main part 6-747836-8 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected. Substitute 5747836-6 is RoHS Compliant with Vendor Undefined REACH status. Substitute 747836-6 has Not applicable RoHS status and is REACH Affected. Applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulations should verify compliance documentation with the component supplier for the selected part.

Q: Are all three parts packaged identically?

A: Yes. The main part 6-747836-8 and both substitute parts 5747836-6 and 747836-6 are packaged in tubes, supporting identical handling and storage requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: All three parts operate across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C, supporting applications in industrial, automotive, and military environments requiring extended temperature performance.

Q: Can these connectors be used in applications requiring 125V operation?

A: Yes. All three parts carry a voltage rating of 125V and are suitable for applications operating at or below this voltage level. The current rating across all parts is 6A.

Q: What contact finish is used on these connectors?

A: All three parts feature gold-plated contacts with a thickness of 30.0µin (0.76µm), providing corrosion resistance and reliable electrical contact performance over the connector's operational life.
