Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 745553-1 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 15
• Compatible Shell Size: A
• Compatible D-Sub Size: 15pos and HD26pos
• Cable Exit Angle: 180°
• Cable Type: Round
• Accessory Type: Two Piece Backshell

Material and Environmental Parameters:

• Primary Material: Thermoplastic
• Color: Black
• Shielding: Unshielded
• Hardware: Strain Relief

Regulatory and Compliance Parameters:

• ECCN Classification: EAR99
• HTSUS Code: 8538.90.8180

Substitute parts must match all mechanical compatibility parameters and material specifications. Compliance certifications and product status are secondary considerations that inform selection context but do not disqualify functional equivalence.

Parameter Comparison

Both certifications are compatible with current regulatory requirements.

Inventory Availability: TE Connectivity 745553-1 inventory is limited to existing stock (1160 pcs). NorComp 983-015-010R011 is available from active manufacturing (955 pcs in stock), supporting both immediate and sustained supply requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NorComp 983-015-010R011 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 745553-1?

A: Yes. The NorComp 983-015-010R011 meets all mechanical compatibility requirements, material specifications, and regulatory classifications required for D-Sub 15-position backshell applications. Both parts are compatible with 15pos and HD26pos D-Sub connectors with Shell Size A and support identical 180° cable exit configurations.

Q: What is the significance of the different product status (Obsolete vs. Active)?

A: Product status indicates manufacturing and support availability. The TE Connectivity 745553-1 is no longer in active production. The NorComp 983-015-010R011 is currently manufactured and supported by the vendor. For new designs and ongoing production, the Active status of the NorComp part ensures supply chain continuity and vendor technical support.

Q: Are there differences in the hardware specifications between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 745553-1 specifies Strain Relief hardware. The NorComp 983-015-010R011 specifies Assembly Hardware and Strain Relief. The NorComp part includes additional assembly hardware (Mating Screws 4-40) as part of the complete backshell assembly. This represents an enhancement in functionality and does not affect mechanical compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are classified as EAR99 for export control and carry the same HTSUS tariff code (8538.90.8180). The NorComp part carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, which meets or exceeds current environmental compliance standards. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What cable types are compatible with these backshells?

A: Both the TE Connectivity 745553-1 and NorComp 983-015-010R011 are designed for Round cable types with 180° cable exit orientation. These specifications apply uniformly across both parts.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity considerations for these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 745553-1 carries MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The NorComp 983-015-010R011 carries MSL Not Applicable, indicating the part does not require moisture-sensitive handling. Both parts are suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.
