TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 746613-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 746613-2 is a 14-position ribbon cable DIP header connector designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination with support for 28 AWG stranded and 26-30 AWG solid wire gauges. The part operates with a 0.050" cable pitch and 0.100" board-side pitch configuration across two rows with 0.300" row spacing.

The 746613-2 is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. Active substitute parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering improved compliance status and availability.

• Cable pitch (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Board-side pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.300" / 7.62mm)
• Mounting methodology (Through Hole)
• Physical color (Black)

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Cable termination method (IDC)
• Wire gauge acceptance range (28 AWG Stranded; 26-30 AWG Solid)
• Series designation (AMP-Latch)
• Feed-through functionality

Environmental Parameters:

• Moisture Sensitivity Level (1 - Unlimited)

The substitute part 5746613-2 differs only in contact finish material and compliance certifications, which do not affect mechanical or electrical interchangeability for standard applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5746613-2 serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 746613-2 across all mechanical and electrical parameters. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and compliance requirements rather than technical performance criteria.

For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance: The 5746613-2 is the appropriate selection, as it meets ROHS3 compliance standards while the 746613-2 is non-compliant.

For applications with REACH regulatory scope: The 5746613-2 carries REACH Unaffected status, providing regulatory clarity. The 746613-2 lists REACH status as Vendor Undefined.

For applications with no specific compliance mandates: Both parts deliver identical mechanical and electrical performance. The 746613-2 features tin-lead contact finish at 100.0µin thickness, while the 5746613-2 features gold contact finish at 5.00µin thickness. Contact finish selection depends on application-specific corrosion resistance and signal integrity requirements.

For new designs and procurement: The 5746613-2 is recommended due to active product status and improved compliance documentation, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5746613-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 746613-2 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 5746613-2 maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, pitch dimensions, mounting type, wire gauge support, and termination method. Direct substitution is supported for applications without specific contact finish requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the tin-lead and gold contact finishes?

A: The 746613-2 features tin-lead contact finish at 100.0µin (2.54µm) thickness. The 5746613-2 features gold contact finish at 5.00µin (0.127µm) thickness. Contact finish selection affects corrosion resistance and signal characteristics. Gold finishes provide superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments, while tin-lead finishes are suitable for standard industrial applications.

Q: Why is the 746613-2 listed as obsolete?

A: The 746613-2 is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The 5746613-2 represents the active equivalent part for ongoing procurement and new designs.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 746613-2 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 5746613-2 is supplied in Tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each part?

A: The 746613-2 is RoHS non-compliant with Vendor Undefined REACH status. The 5746613-2 is ROHS3 compliant with REACH Unaffected status. For applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulations, the 5746613-2 is the required selection.

Q: Do both parts support the same wire gauge specifications?

A: Yes. Both the 746613-2 and 5746613-2 accept 28 AWG stranded and 26-30 AWG solid wire gauges through IDC termination.

Q: What is the row spacing and pitch configuration for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature 2 rows with 0.300" (7.62mm) row spacing. Cable pitch is 0.050" (1.27mm) and board-side pitch is 0.100" (2.54mm).
