Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 747832-6 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector style (D-Sub)
• Connector type (Plug, Male Pins)
• Number of positions (9)
• Number of rows (2)
• Shell size and layout (1 / DE, E)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Backset spacing (0.590" / 14.99mm)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Contact material (Brass)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current rating (6A nominal; 5A acceptable for signal-level applications)
• Shell material finish (Steel, Tin Plated or Steel, Nickel Plated)
• Contact finish (Gold standard; Flash thickness acceptable)
• Flange feature configuration (Mating Side Female Screwlock or Housing/Shell mounting)
• Packaging format (Tube or Tray)
• RoHS and REACH compliance status
• Manufacturer identity

Substitute parts must maintain full mechanical and electrical compatibility with the original design while meeting or exceeding the specified performance envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 5747832-6 is the primary direct substitute for TE Connectivity 747832-6. Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series and share identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The 5747832-6 variant demonstrates ROHS3 compliance, whereas the original 747832-6 is not applicable for RoHS classification. This part is suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance with modern environmental standards. Inventory availability is higher for the 5747832-6 (1191 units versus 616 units).

NorComp 183-009-113R571 is a secondary equivalent substitute manufactured by NorComp Inc. This part maintains full mechanical compatibility and shares the same shell size, pin configuration, mounting type, and operating temperature range. The NorComp connector operates at 5A current rating compared to the 6A rating of the TE Connectivity parts, making it suitable for applications with lower current requirements. The NorComp part features nickel-plated steel shell finish and flash gold contact finish, both acceptable alternatives to the tin-plated finish of the original part. The NorComp connector includes panel mount capability in addition to through-hole mounting. This part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Inventory availability is highest for this option (1316 units).

Selection between these substitutes depends on current rating requirements, regulatory compliance mandates, and packaging preferences. All three parts are active products with confirmed availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5747832-6 be used as a direct replacement for the 747832-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5747832-6 is a direct substitute with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both parts share the same AMPLIMITE HD-20 series designation, 9-position configuration, right-angle solder termination, and operating parameters. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status, with the 5747832-6 meeting ROHS3 requirements.

Q: What is the current rating difference between the TE Connectivity and NorComp options?

A: The TE Connectivity 747832-6 and 5747832-6 are rated for 6A continuous current. The NorComp 183-009-113R571 is rated for 5A. For applications requiring the full 6A capacity, the TE Connectivity parts are the appropriate selection. For signal-level or lower-current applications, the NorComp part is functionally equivalent.

Q: Are there differences in shell material finish between these connectors?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity parts feature steel with tin plating. The NorComp part features steel with nickel plating. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and are suitable for standard industrial environments. Nickel plating offers enhanced durability in certain corrosive applications.

Q: Does the NorComp connector support panel mount installation?

A: Yes. The NorComp 183-009-113R571 supports panel mount, through-hole, and right-angle mounting configurations. The TE Connectivity parts support through-hole and right-angle mounting only. If panel mount capability is required, the NorComp part provides this additional flexibility.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 747832-6 and 5747832-6 are supplied in tube packaging. The NorComp 183-009-113R571 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format affects handling, storage, and integration into automated assembly processes but does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Are all three parts suitable for the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C?

A: Yes. All three connectors are rated for continuous operation across the -55°C to 105°C temperature range. This specification is identical across all substitute options.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Both the TE Connectivity 5747832-6 and NorComp 183-009-113R571 are ROHS3 compliant. Either part is suitable for designs with RoHS requirements. The original TE Connectivity 747832-6 is not applicable for RoHS classification and should not be used in new designs with regulatory compliance mandates.

Q: Is the contact finish difference between gold and flash gold significant?

A: Both gold and flash gold finishes provide equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance for signal-level D-Sub connectors. Flash gold is a thinner application of gold plating over a nickel underplate. For standard solder-terminated D-Sub applications, both finishes are functionally equivalent.
