Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 747905-5 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications for connector style, position count, row configuration, shell size layout, mounting type, termination method, shell material and finish, contact finish and thickness, current and voltage ratings, operating temperature range, dielectric material composition, and contact material. The primary substitute identified is the TE Connectivity 5-747905-5, which maintains complete parameter parity with the original part while offering active product status and improved availability. The substitution is valid based on the following key parameters:

• Connector Style: D-Sub
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 9
• Number of Rows: 2
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 1 (DE, E)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Termination: Solder Cup
• Shell Material, Finish: Steel, Tin Plated
• Contact Finish: Gold at 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Current Rating: 3A
• Voltage Rating: 250V
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Dielectric Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Glass Filled
• Contact Material: Brass
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-747905-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 747905-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 5-747905-5 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 747905-5 across all specified parameters. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the 747905-5 and 5-747905-5 part numbers?

A: Both parts are manufactured by TE Connectivity and belong to the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series. The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), RoHS compliance level (non-compliant versus ROHS3 compliant), packaging format (unspecified versus tray), and inventory availability. All functional and electrical specifications are identical.

Q: Does the RoHS3 compliance of the 5-747905-5 affect compatibility with the 747905-5?

A: No. RoHS3 compliance is a regulatory and environmental attribute that does not alter the electrical or mechanical performance of the connector. The 5-747905-5 maintains complete functional equivalence with the 747905-5.

Q: Are there any soldering or assembly procedure differences when using the 5-747905-5 instead of the 747905-5?

A: No. Both connectors feature identical solder cup termination, shell material, contact finish, and dielectric material. Existing assembly procedures, solder specifications, and thermal profiles remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of the tray packaging for the 5-747905-5?

A: Tray packaging is standard for automated pick-and-place assembly operations and high-volume manufacturing. It provides improved handling efficiency and component protection compared to loose or bulk packaging formats.

Q: Can the 5-747905-5 be used in applications with the same current and voltage ratings as the 747905-5?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 3A current and 250V voltage. Operating temperature range, dielectric material, and contact material specifications are identical, ensuring equivalent performance across all specified electrical parameters.

Q: Is the 5-747905-5 suitable for applications requiring UL94 V-0 flammability compliance?

A: Yes. The 5-747905-5 maintains the UL94 V-0 material flammability rating of the original 747905-5, meeting the same safety and flammability requirements.
