Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 745652-1 are identified based on strict parameter matching across all critical functional and mechanical specifications. The substitution logic requires equivalence in the following parameters:

• Number of Positions: 15
• Compatible Shell Size: A
• Compatible D-Sub Size: 15pos and HD26pos
• Cable Exit Angle: 90°
• Shielding: Shielded
• Cable Type: Round
• Accessory Type: Two Piece Backshell
• Material: Metal, Zinc Alloy
• Plating: Nickel over Copper
• Color: Silver

Two substitute parts meet these criteria: the TE Connectivity 5745652-1 (direct manufacturer evolution) and the NorComp Inc. 981-015-030R121 (cross-manufacturer equivalent). Both components satisfy all specified parameters and provide active product status with current availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5745652-1 serves as the direct manufacturer substitute for the obsolete 745652-1. Both components share identical functional and mechanical specifications within the AMPLIMITE series. The 5745652-1 provides the advantage of active product status and RoHS compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the original part does not satisfy.

The NorComp Inc. 981-015-030R121 functions as a cross-manufacturer equivalent, offering identical mechanical and electrical compatibility. This part provides ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, representing an alternative source for applications requiring enhanced regulatory documentation. The 981-015-030R121 includes grommets as additional hardware compared to the main part specification.

Selection between the two substitutes depends on supply chain requirements, manufacturer preference, and regulatory compliance documentation needs. Both parts maintain full compatibility with the original 745652-1 connector interface specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5745652-1 directly replace the 745652-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5745652-1 maintains identical specifications for all functional and mechanical parameters, including position count, shell size, cable exit angle, shielding configuration, material composition, and plating. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 745652-1 and its substitutes?

A: The 745652-1 is classified as obsolete with RoHS non-compliant status. The 5745652-1 and 981-015-030R121 are both active products with RoHS compliance, ensuring continued availability and regulatory alignment for new designs and production runs.

Q: Are there differences between the TE Connectivity 5745652-1 and NorComp 981-015-030R121?

A: Both parts satisfy all specified mechanical and electrical parameters. The NorComp part includes grommets as additional hardware and provides REACH unaffected status. The TE Connectivity part maintains the same series designation and manufacturer ecosystem. Selection depends on supply chain strategy and documentation requirements.

Q: Does the cable exit angle remain 90 degrees for all substitute parts?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain the 90-degree cable exit angle specification, ensuring compatibility with existing cable routing and connector mounting configurations.

Q: Are the substitute parts compatible with both 15pos and HD26pos D-Sub sizes?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are compatible with both 15-position and HD26-position D-Sub connector sizes, maintaining the same shell size A compatibility as the original part.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 745652-1 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 5745652-1 is RoHS compliant and the 981-015-030R121 is ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the substitute parts provide the necessary compliance documentation and material restrictions.

Q: Can packaging differences affect part selection?

A: The 745652-1 packaging is unspecified, while both substitutes are supplied in bulk packaging. Bulk packaging is standard for connector backshell components and does not affect functional or mechanical compatibility.
