Engineering Selection Recommendations

5747832-4 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors)

The 5747832-4 is the primary substitute for the obsolete 747832-4. Both connectors are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the same AMPLIMITE HD-20 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including current rating (6A), voltage rating (125V), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), and backset spacing (0.590"). The 5747832-4 is classified as an active product with ROHS3 compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the original part does not meet. This connector is supplied in tube packaging and maintains full compatibility with applications originally designed for the 747832-4.

625-009-662-042 (Mercury United Electronics, Inc.)

The 625-009-662-042 serves as an alternative substitute when TE Connectivity parts are unavailable. This Mercury connector maintains the same D-Sub 9-position plug configuration, shell size (1 DE, E), right-angle solder termination, and mounting type. However, engineering selection of this part requires consideration of the following parameter differences: current rating is reduced to 3A per contact (compared to 6A for the main part), operating temperature maximum is 85°C (compared to 105°C), and backset spacing is 0.584" (compared to 0.590"). The connector features nickel-plated steel shell finish instead of tin-plated, includes shielding and mounting brackets, and is ROHS3 compliant. The 625-009-662-042 is suitable for applications where the reduced current and temperature ratings are acceptable and where the additional shielding and mounting bracket features provide functional benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5747832-4 be used as a direct replacement for the 747832-4?

A: Yes. The 5747832-4 is a direct substitute for the 747832-4. Both connectors share identical specifications for connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, current rating (6A), voltage rating (125V), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C), and backset spacing (0.590"). The primary difference is product status: the 5747832-4 is active and ROHS3 compliant, while the 747832-4 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Q: What are the key differences between the 5747832-4 and 625-009-662-042?

A: Both are active D-Sub 9-position plug connectors with right-angle solder termination and identical shell size (1 DE, E). The 5747832-4 maintains the original specifications of the 747832-4, including 6A current rating, 125V voltage rating, and -55°C ~ 105°C operating temperature range. The 625-009-662-042 has reduced current rating (3A per contact), lower maximum operating temperature (85°C), and different backset spacing (0.584" versus 0.590"). The 625-009-662-042 includes shielding and mounting brackets not present on the TE Connectivity connectors.

Q: Is the 625-009-662-042 suitable for all applications using the 747832-4?

A: The 625-009-662-042 is suitable only for applications where the reduced current rating (3A per contact versus 6A) and lower maximum operating temperature (85°C versus 105°C) are acceptable. The backset spacing difference of 0.006" (0.15mm) may require mechanical verification in space-constrained applications. Applications requiring the full 6A current capacity or operating above 85°C must use the 5747832-4.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference between the 747832-4 and 625-009-662-042?

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the centerline of the solder pins. The 747832-4 and 5747832-4 have 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing, while the 625-009-662-042 has 0.584" (14.84mm). This 0.006" (0.15mm) difference may affect board layout and component placement in applications with tight spacing constraints. Mechanical verification is required before substitution in space-limited designs.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these connectors?

A: Yes. The 747832-4 is RoHS non-compliant. Both the 5747832-4 and 625-009-662-042 are ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the 5747832-4 or 625-009-662-042 must be used. The 625-009-662-042 is also REACH unaffected, while REACH status for the 5747832-4 is vendor undefined.

Q: What packaging options are available for these connectors?

A: The 747832-4 packaging is not specified. The 5747832-4 is supplied in tube packaging. The 625-009-662-042 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection may affect handling, storage, and assembly processes.

Q: Do these connectors have different shell material finishes?

A: Yes. The 747832-4 and 5747832-4 have steel shells with tin plating. The 625-009-662-042 has a steel shell with nickel plating. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and are suitable for standard industrial environments. Nickel plating may be preferred in applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance or specific environmental compliance.

Q: What is the contact material composition for each connector?

A: The 747832-4 and 5747832-4 use brass contacts. The 625-009-662-042 uses copper alloy contacts. Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and are compatible with gold plating. Contact material selection does not affect electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: Are all three connectors rated for the same voltage?

A: The 747832-4 and 5747832-4 are both rated for 125V. The 625-009-662-042 voltage rating is not specified in the provided data. For applications requiring confirmed 125V rating, the 5747832-4 is the recommended substitute.
