Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5747099-7 serves as the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 747099-7 backshell connector. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering considerations:

Product Status: The 747099-7 is classified as obsolete, creating supply chain constraints. The 5747099-7 maintains active product status with TE Connectivity, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support.

Compliance Posture: The substitute part 5747099-7 achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the original 747099-7 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or customer compliance requirements, the 5747099-7 provides regulatory alignment.

REACH Compliance: The 5747099-7 is designated as REACH Affected, indicating documented compliance status under REACH regulations. The original part carries undefined REACH status, introducing regulatory uncertainty.

Mechanical and Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical specifications across all critical parameters including position count, shell size, cable exit angle, shielding configuration, material composition, and plating specifications. Direct mechanical and electrical interchangeability is established.

Export Classification: Both parts share identical ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS codes (8538.90.8180), maintaining consistent export and tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 747099-7 and 5747099-7 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are two-piece backshells with identical shell size (A), position count (15), cable exit angle (180°), and mating screw specifications (4-40). They mount identically to 15-position and HD26-position D-Sub connectors.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 5747099-7 is the active production equivalent with RoHS compliance and defined REACH status. The 747099-7 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. All mechanical and electrical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use the 5747099-7 as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5747099-7 maintains full functional and physical compatibility with the 747099-7 across all specified parameters. No design modifications are required.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: The 5747099-7 is supplied in bulk packaging. The original 747099-7 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences?

A: No. Both parts share identical electrical specifications including shielding configuration, plating (nickel over copper), and material composition (thermoplastic).

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: The 5747099-7 should be selected for new designs due to active product status, RoHS compliance, and defined regulatory documentation.

Q: Are both parts compatible with HD26-position D-Sub connectors?

A: Yes. Both the 747099-7 and 5747099-7 are compatible with both 15-position and HD26-position D-Sub connectors despite the 15-position backshell designation.
