TE Connectivity 747242-1 D-Sub Locking Post Assembly Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 747242-1 is a slide lock bolt assembly designed for the AMPLIMITE Series HDE, HDF, and HDP D-Sub connectors. This component functions as a locking mechanism accessory that includes integrated hardware for secure connector assembly. The 747242-1 is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for procurement and design continuity. Substitute parts must maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications to ensure proper fit and function within AMPLIMITE connector systems.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 747242-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Accessory type classification (Slide Lock Bolt)
• Compatible connector series (AMPLIMITE HDP-20)
• Length below head (0.443" / 11.25mm)
• Thread size (2-56)
• Hardware inclusion status

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
• RoHS compliance status
• REACH regulatory status

The substitute part 5747242-1 maintains identical mechanical specifications and is compatible with the same AMPLIMITE connector series. The primary distinction is product status: 747242-1 is obsolete while 5747242-1 is active, with improved regulatory compliance (RoHS Compliant, REACH Affected).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and Procurement:

The 5747242-1 is the appropriate selection for all new applications and ongoing procurement activities. This part maintains complete mechanical and functional equivalence to the 747242-1 while offering the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS Compliant designation satisfies current environmental and regulatory requirements
• REACH Affected status provides defined regulatory compliance documentation
• Identical mechanical specifications (thread size 2-56, length 0.443", hardware included) guarantee direct compatibility with AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series connectors

For Legacy System Maintenance:

The 747242-1 remains functionally equivalent for maintenance and repair of existing systems where regulatory compliance is not a constraint. However, transition to 5747242-1 is recommended when inventory depletion occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5747242-1 be used as a direct replacement for 747242-1 in AMPLIMITE connectors?

A: Yes. The 5747242-1 maintains identical mechanical specifications including thread size (2-56), length below head (0.443" / 11.25mm), and hardware inclusion. Both parts are designed for AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series connectors and are mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the primary difference between 747242-1 and 5747242-1?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 747242-1 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while 5747242-1 is an active product with RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected designations. Mechanically and functionally, both parts are equivalent.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: Yes. The 5747242-1 is supplied in Bag packaging, while packaging information for 747242-1 is not specified in the technical data. This does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for moisture-sensitive applications?

A: Both parts carry an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Storage and handling requirements are equivalent.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The 5747242-1 should be specified for all new designs. As an active product with current regulatory compliance, it ensures design longevity and supply chain stability.

Q: Is the thread size identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both 747242-1 and 5747242-1 feature 2-56 thread size, ensuring mechanical compatibility with AMPLIMITE connector hardware.
