TE Connectivity 747460-5 D-Sub Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 747460-5 is a 15-position D-Sub receptacle connector with female sockets, right-angle through-hole mounting, and solder termination. This connector is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of active equivalent parts for ongoing procurement and design applications. The AMPLIMITE HD-20 series connector provides reliable signal transmission in applications requiring D-Sub connectivity with specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 747460-5 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 5747460-5 maintains identical specifications for connector style, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, contact type, flange feature, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, contact finish, backset spacing, and material flammability rating.

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status and RoHS compliance. The 747460-5 is classified as obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 5747460-5 is active and RoHS compliant. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series and share identical functional and mechanical characteristics.

Substitution is valid when the following parameters are maintained:

• 15-position D-Sub receptacle configuration
• Female socket contact type
• Right-angle through-hole mounting
• Solder termination
• 6A current rating at 125V
• Operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C
• Gold flash contact finish
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5747460-5 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 747460-5. Both connectors are functionally and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and procurement requirements.

For new designs and applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 5747460-5 is the appropriate selection. This part maintains active product status with TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and is available in higher inventory quantities.

For legacy system maintenance or applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated, the 747460-5 remains available with current inventory stock of 970 pieces.

Both parts carry identical electrical ratings, mechanical specifications, and environmental operating parameters. Interchangeability is complete across all functional and physical dimensions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5747460-5 directly replace the 747460-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5747460-5 is a direct functional and mechanical equivalent. All electrical parameters, connector geometry, mounting configuration, and termination method are identical. The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 747460-5 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 5747460-5 is RoHS compliant. RoHS compliance is required for applications subject to European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. For applications without RoHS requirements, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 5747460-5 is supplied in tray packaging. The 747460-5 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. Packaging differences do not affect connector functionality or performance.

Q: What are the critical parameters that define substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters remain constant: 15-position D-Sub receptacle configuration, female socket contact type, right-angle through-hole mounting, solder termination, 6A current rating, 125V voltage rating, -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range, gold flash contact finish, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Is the 747460-5 still available for procurement?

A: The 747460-5 is classified as obsolete but remains available with 970 pieces in current inventory stock. The 5747460-5 is an active product with 1343 pieces in inventory.

Q: What is the backset spacing specification?

A: The backset spacing for both connectors is 0.590 inches (14.99 millimeters). This dimension defines the distance from the mating face to the mounting plane and is critical for PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Are both connectors rated for the same electrical specifications?

A: Yes. Both the 747460-5 and 5747460-5 are rated for 6 amperes at 125 volts and operate across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.
