Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 745652-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must be 15
• Compatible Shell Size: Must be Size A
• Compatible D-Sub Size: Must support 15pos and HD26pos
• Cable Exit Angle: Must be 90°
• Shielding Configuration: Must be Shielded
• Cable Type: Must be Round
• Accessory Type: Must be Two Piece Backshell
• Material Composition: Must be Metal, Zinc Alloy
• Plating Specification: Must be Nickel over Copper
• Features: Must include Slide Lock

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct equivalents and may be substituted without modification to the connector assembly or cable interface.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5745652-3 is a direct functional equivalent to the 745652-3 across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part maintains identical specifications for connector position count, shell size compatibility, cable exit angle, shielding, material composition, and plating.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance:

• 745652-3: Obsolete status with RoHS non-compliant designation and undefined REACH status
• 5745652-3: Active product status with RoHS Compliant certification and REACH Affected designation

For new designs and applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulatory requirements, the 5745652-3 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original 745652-3 specification is required and regulatory compliance is not a constraint, either part satisfies the functional requirements.

The 5745652-3 is supplied in Bulk packaging, whereas the original part packaging specification is not defined. Inventory availability is higher for the substitute part (1339 Pcs versus 1170 Pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5745652-3 be used as a direct replacement for the 745652-3 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 5745652-3 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, shell size, cable exit angle, shielding configuration, material composition, and plating. Direct substitution is supported without modification to connector assemblies or cable interfaces.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The functional specifications are identical. The differences are: (1) Product status—745652-3 is Obsolete while 5745652-3 is Active; (2) RoHS compliance—745652-3 is non-compliant while 5745652-3 is compliant; (3) REACH status—745652-3 is undefined while 5745652-3 is REACH Affected; (4) Packaging—5745652-3 is supplied in Bulk format.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 5745652-3 for the 745652-3?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts are compatible with 15-position and HD26-position D-Sub connectors with Shell Size A. Both support round cable types with 90° cable exit and provide identical shielding and mechanical features.

Q: Which part should be selected for new production?

A: The 5745652-3 is the appropriate selection for new production. It carries Active product status and meets current RoHS compliance requirements, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Q: Is the 745652-3 still available for purchase?

A: The 745652-3 is listed as Obsolete. Current inventory of 1170 pieces is available, but future availability is not guaranteed. The 5745652-3 is the recommended alternative for ongoing supply requirements.

Q: Do these parts require different assembly procedures?

A: No. Both parts are Two Piece Backshells with identical Slide Lock features and assembly hardware. Assembly procedures and installation methods are identical.

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

A: RoHS compliance restricts the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The 5745652-3 meets RoHS requirements, making it suitable for applications and markets with RoHS mandates. The 745652-3 does not meet these requirements and may not be acceptable for certain regulated applications or geographic markets.
