Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 746881-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Thread Specification: Both the main part and substitute maintain identical 4-40 UNC thread sizing, ensuring mechanical compatibility with connector receptacles.

Physical Dimensions: The length below head measurement of 0.300" (7.62mm) is preserved across all equivalent parts, maintaining proper engagement depth with AMPLIMITE connector housings.

Connector Compatibility: Both parts are designated for use with AMPLIMITE Series HDE and HDP connectors, confirming functional interchangeability within these specific connector families.

Accessory Classification: Both components are classified as slotted jackscrews with clip features, maintaining identical form factor and operational characteristics.

Moisture Sensitivity: MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) is consistent across substitutes, indicating no moisture-related handling restrictions.

The substitute part 5746881-2 meets all substitution criteria based on these parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: Part 5746881-2 is the direct active equivalent for obsolete part 746881-2. This substitute maintains full mechanical and functional compatibility across all critical parameters including thread specification, physical dimensions, and connector series compatibility.

Compliance Advantage: The substitute part 5746881-2 carries RoHS Compliant status and REACH Affected designation, providing enhanced regulatory compliance compared to the non-compliant main part. Organizations subject to RoHS or REACH requirements must transition to the 5746881-2 variant.

Product Status: The transition from obsolete (746881-2) to active (5746881-2) status ensures continued availability and supply chain reliability for future procurement cycles.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute is supplied in bag packaging, which is standard for this component category and does not impact functional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5746881-2 directly replace 746881-2 in existing AMPLIMITE connector assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical thread size (4-40 UNC), length below head (0.300"/7.62mm), and are designated for AMPLIMITE Series HDE and HDP connectors. No mechanical or functional modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 746881-2 is classified as obsolete. The 5746881-2 is the active equivalent part, ensuring continued availability and supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Yes. The 5746881-2 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, while the 746881-2 is RoHS non-compliant with undefined REACH status. Organizations operating under RoHS or REACH regulations must use the 5746881-2 variant.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: The 746881-2 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 5746881-2 is supplied in bag packaging, which is standard for D-Sub jackscrew accessories and does not affect functional performance.

Q: Are the moisture sensitivity levels identical?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture-related handling or storage restrictions.

Q: What connector series are these parts compatible with?

A: Both parts are designated for use with AMPLIMITE Series HDE and HDP D-Sub connectors only.
