Engineering Selection Recommendations
Direct Manufacturer Equivalent:
The TE Connectivity 5747836-6 is the direct equivalent to the 747836-6. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 9-position configuration, shell size 1 (DE, E), through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, and operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The primary distinction is that 5747836-6 carries RoHS Compliant status, whereas 747836-6 is not applicable for RoHS. Selection of 5747836-6 is appropriate for applications requiring RoHS compliance certification.
NorComp Inc. Series 183 Substitutes:
The NorComp 183 series connectors (183-009-213R161, 183-009-213R171, 183-009-213R181, 183-009-213R531, 183-009-213R541, 183-009-213R561, 183-009-213R571) are functionally compatible substitutes. All maintain the 9-position D-Sub receptacle configuration, shell size 1 (DE, E), through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, and operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. All NorComp parts carry ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications. Differences include:
- Current rating: 5A (NorComp) versus 6A (TE Connectivity)
- Shell finish: Nickel plated (NorComp) versus tin plated (TE Connectivity)
- Contact material: Brass (NorComp) versus phosphor bronze (TE Connectivity)
- Contact finish thickness: Flash (NorComp) versus 30.0µin (TE Connectivity)
- Flange feature variations: Housing/shell unthreaded, housing/shell (4-40), or mating-side female screwlock (4-40)
- Features: Ground strap only, or ground strap with board lock
Selection of NorComp parts is appropriate for applications requiring ROHS3 and REACH compliance, and where the 5A current rating is sufficient for the circuit design.
Mercury United Electronics Series 626 Substitutes:
The Mercury 626-009-262-012 and 626-009-262-013 connectors are functionally compatible substitutes with the following considerations:
- Current rating: 3A per contact (Mercury) versus 6A (TE Connectivity)
- Operating temperature: -55°C to 85°C (Mercury) versus -55°C to 105°C (TE Connectivity)
- Backset spacing: 0.584" (14.84mm) (Mercury) versus 0.590" (14.99mm) (TE Connectivity)
- Mounting type: Board edge, through hole, right angle (Mercury) versus through hole, right angle (TE Connectivity)
- Features: Mounting brackets and shielded (Mercury) versus board lock and ground strap (TE Connectivity)
Mercury parts carry ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications. Selection of Mercury parts is appropriate for applications with lower current requirements (3A per contact), lower maximum operating temperature (85°C), and where board-edge mounting with shielding is required.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the TE Connectivity 747836-6 be directly replaced with the 5747836-6?
A: Yes. The 5747836-6 is a direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. The 5747836-6 is RoHS Compliant, while the 747836-6 is not applicable for RoHS. Both parts are suitable for the same applications.
Q: What are the key differences between TE Connectivity and NorComp substitutes?
A: The primary differences are current rating (6A for TE versus 5A for NorComp), shell finish (tin plated for TE versus nickel plated for NorComp), contact material (phosphor bronze for TE versus brass for NorComp), and contact finish thickness (30.0µin for TE versus flash for NorComp). All parts maintain the same 9-position D-Sub receptacle configuration, shell size 1 (DE, E), through-hole right-angle mounting, and solder termination. NorComp parts carry ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications.
Q: Are Mercury United Electronics connectors suitable as substitutes?
A: Mercury connectors are functionally compatible for applications with specific requirements. However, the current rating is significantly lower (3A per contact versus 6A for TE Connectivity), the maximum operating temperature is reduced to 85°C (versus 105°C for TE Connectivity), and the backset spacing differs slightly (0.584" versus 0.590"). Mercury parts include board-edge mounting capability and shielding features. Selection of Mercury parts is appropriate only when these specifications align with application requirements.
Q: What is the significance of shell finish differences (tin plated versus nickel plated)?
A: Shell finish affects corrosion resistance and environmental durability. Tin plating (TE Connectivity 747836-6 and 5747836-6) provides good solderability and corrosion resistance. Nickel plating (NorComp series) provides enhanced corrosion resistance and is commonly used in industrial and harsh environment applications. Selection depends on the specific environmental conditions and application requirements.
Q: How do flange feature variations affect connector selection?
A: Flange features determine the mating interface and mounting configuration. The TE Connectivity 747836-6 features a mating-side female screwlock (4-40), which provides threaded mating security. NorComp alternatives offer variations including housing/shell unthreaded, housing/shell (4-40), and mating-side female screwlock (4-40). Selection depends on the specific mating connector type and the required mechanical retention method.
Q: What packaging options are available?
A: The TE Connectivity 747836-6 is supplied in tube packaging. Equivalent and substitute parts are available in tube (5747836-6), tray (NorComp series), or bulk (Mercury 626-009-262-013) packaging. Packaging selection depends on inventory management requirements, handling procedures, and quantity needs.
Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for high-temperature applications?
A: No. The TE Connectivity 747836-6, 5747836-6, and NorComp series support operating temperatures up to 105°C. Mercury United Electronics connectors (626-009-262-012 and 626-009-262-013) are rated only to 85°C. For applications requiring operation above 85°C, Mercury parts are not suitable substitutes.
Q: What compliance certifications should be considered when selecting substitutes?
A: The TE Connectivity 747836-6 is not applicable for RoHS and is REACH Affected. The 5747836-6 is RoHS Compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status. All NorComp and Mercury parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. Selection depends on regulatory requirements for the target application and market region.
