TE Connectivity 747462-6 D-Sub Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 747462-6 is a 37-position D-Sub receptacle connector with female sockets, right-angle through-hole mounting, and solder termination. This connector is part of the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series and features a shell size 4 (DC, C) configuration with gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts rated for 6A at 125V across an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

The 747462-6 is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to support legacy system maintenance, repair, and component procurement for applications where this connector type remains in service.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 747462-6 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications for connector style, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, contact ratings, and environmental operating conditions.

The following parameters establish substitution eligibility:

• Connector style and type (D-Sub receptacle, female sockets)
• Position count and row configuration (37 positions, 2 rows)
• Shell size and layout (4, DC, C)
• Mounting type (through hole, right angle)
• Termination method (solder)
• Contact specifications (gold finish, phosphor bronze, 30.0µin thickness)
• Electrical ratings (6A current, 125V voltage)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C)
• Flange feature (mating side, female screwlock 4-40)
• Backset spacing (0.590")
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Packaging format and product status (active versus obsolete) do not affect functional substitution but are documented for procurement and compliance considerations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 5747462-6 is a direct functional equivalent to the 747462-6 across all electrical and mechanical parameters. Both connectors are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series and maintain identical specifications for position count, shell size, mounting configuration, contact ratings, and operating conditions.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 747462-6 is classified as obsolete and carries RoHS non-compliant status with vendor-undefined REACH classification. The 5747462-6 is an active product with RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status, making it suitable for new designs and applications subject to environmental regulations.

For applications requiring the 37-position D-Sub receptacle with right-angle solder termination and the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics, the 5747462-6 provides equivalent functionality with the advantage of active product support and regulatory compliance documentation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 747462-6 and 5747462-6 electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors are identical in connector style, position count, shell size, mounting type, termination method, contact specifications, electrical ratings, and operating temperature range. They are direct functional equivalents.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The 747462-6 is an obsolete product with RoHS non-compliant status. The 5747462-6 is the active equivalent with RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status. Packaging differs: 747462-6 has unspecified packaging, while 5747462-6 is supplied in tray format.

Q: Can I use the 5747462-6 as a replacement for the 747462-6 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 5747462-6 maintains all electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution in applications currently using the 747462-6.

Q: Does the packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format (tray versus unspecified) does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging is a procurement and handling consideration only.

Q: Are there any compliance differences I should consider?

A: The 5747462-6 carries RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status, while the 747462-6 is RoHS non-compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status. For applications subject to environmental regulations, the 5747462-6 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by equivalence in connector style, position count (37), row configuration (2), shell size (4, DC, C), mounting type (through hole, right angle), termination method (solder), contact specifications (gold, phosphor bronze, 30.0µin), electrical ratings (6A, 125V), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and flange feature (mating side, female screwlock 4-40).

Q: Is the 5747462-6 available in stock?

A: Inventory status is subject to change. The 5747462-6 is listed as an active product. Current availability should be confirmed through the supplier.
