Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete TE Connectivity 747459-6 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Connector configuration (9-position D-Sub receptacle with female sockets), shell size and layout (Size 1, DE/E), mounting orientation (right-angle through-hole), termination method (solder), flange design (mating-side female screwlock 4-40), electrical ratings (6A current, 125V voltage), contact materials and finish (phosphor bronze with 30.0µin gold plating), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and mechanical dimensions (0.590" backset spacing).

The substitute part 5747459-6 satisfies all these parameters while offering the advantage of active product status and improved compliance certification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5747459-6 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 747459-6. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical, ensuring functional interchangeability in circuit designs and PCB layouts.

The substitute part offers two significant advantages over the main part:

Product Status: The 5747459-6 maintains active product status with TE Connectivity, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. The 747459-6 is classified as obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

Regulatory Compliance: The 5747459-6 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The 747459-6 is RoHS non-compliant with undefined REACH status, presenting compliance risks for new designs and applications subject to regulatory oversight.

For new designs, procurement of replacement inventory, or system upgrades, the 5747459-6 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original part number is specified, the 5747459-6 provides full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 747459-6 and 5747459-6 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are 9-position D-Sub receptacles with identical electrical ratings (6A current, 125V voltage), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), contact materials (phosphor bronze with 30.0µin gold plating), and signal contact configuration. They are electrically interchangeable.

Q: Are the 747459-6 and 5747459-6 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications: shell size 1 (DE/E), right-angle through-hole mounting, solder termination, mating-side female screwlock (4-40) flange, 0.590" backset spacing, and black color. They are mechanically interchangeable on PCBs and in connector assemblies.

Q: What is the difference between the 747459-6 and 5747459-6?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 747459-6 is obsolete with RoHS non-compliant status. The 5747459-6 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Both parts are functionally identical.
