TE Connectivity 747515-2 D-Sub Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 747515-2 is a 9-position D-Sub plug connector with male pins, designed for IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) and discrete wire termination. This connector belongs to the AMPLIMITE HDE-20 series and features a shielded, free-hanging in-line configuration with steel tin-plated housing and gold-plated contacts.

The 747515-2 carries an obsolete product status. Locating equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to support legacy system maintenance, repair, and continued field deployment where this connector type remains in active use.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 747515-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector Architecture: Connector style (D-Sub), connector type (Plug, Male Pins), number of positions (9), number of rows (2), and shell size/layout (1, DE, E) must remain identical.

Termination Compatibility: Termination method (IDC, Discrete Wire) must match to ensure compatibility with existing cable assemblies and installation tooling.

Mounting Configuration: Mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line) must be preserved to maintain mechanical fit within the host system.

Electrical Performance: Voltage rating (250V), wire gauge range (22-26 AWG), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) establish the functional envelope for direct substitution.

Material and Contact Specifications: Shell material and finish (Steel, Tin Plated), contact finish (Gold), and contact material (Phosphor Bronze) ensure electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Series Designation: Parts must belong to the AMPLIMITE HDE-20 series to guarantee dimensional and functional alignment.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity 747515-7

The 747515-7 is a direct functional equivalent to the 747515-2 across all critical electrical, mechanical, and dimensional parameters. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector architecture, termination method, mounting configuration, electrical ratings, and material composition.

The 747515-7 differs from the 747515-2 in product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance:

Product Status: The 747515-7 carries an active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturer support. The 747515-2 is obsolete, limiting future procurement options.

Regulatory Compliance: The 747515-7 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and chemical safety regulations. The 747515-2 is RoHS non-compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status, presenting potential regulatory constraints in new system designs or regulated markets.

For applications requiring continued use of the 747515-2 connector type, the 747515-7 provides full electrical and mechanical interchangeability while offering improved regulatory standing and supply chain continuity.
