Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 745493-5 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary substitute part, 1-745493-5, maintains identical specifications across connector style, type, position count, row configuration, shell size layout, mounting type, termination method, shell material and finish, contact finish and thickness, voltage rating, wire gauge compatibility, operating temperature range, dielectric material, contact material, and flammability rating.

The substitution is valid based on the following key parameters:

• Connector Style: D-Sub (identical)
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Sockets (identical)
• Number of Positions: 15 (identical)
• Number of Rows: 2 (identical)
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 2 (DA, A) (identical)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (identical)
• Termination: IDC, Discrete Wire (identical)
• Shell Material, Finish: Steel, Tin Plated (identical)
• Contact Finish: Gold (identical)
• Contact Finish Thickness: 1.00µin (0.025µm) (identical)
• Voltage Rating: 250V (identical)
• Wire Gauge: 22-26 AWG (identical)
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 105°C (identical)
• Dielectric Material: Thermoplastic, Glass Filled (identical)
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze (identical)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (identical)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations
