TE Connectivity 748333-5 D-Sub Contact Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 748333-5 is a D-Sub contact male pin designed for crimp termination with 22-28 AWG wire gauge. This component is classified as obsolete and is part of the AMPLIMITE HDP-22 series. The part is a stamped brass contact with gold finish and flash thickness, featuring insulation support. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent and substitute parts are necessary to maintain system compatibility and ensure continued availability for new designs and repairs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the TE Connectivity 748333-5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Contact type: Male pin
• Wire gauge compatibility: 22-28 AWG or subset thereof
• Contact termination method: Crimp
• Contact material: Brass
• Contact finish: Gold
• Contact form: Stamped
• Insulation support feature

Substitute Classification:

Direct Substitute (1658670-3): This TE Connectivity part maintains identical wire gauge (22-28 AWG), contact material (brass), contact finish (gold with flash thickness), and termination method (crimp). Both parts are from the same AMPLIMITE HDP-22 series. The primary difference is product status: 1658670-3 is active and RoHS3 compliant, whereas 748333-5 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Similar Substitute (180-001-170L001): This NorComp Inc. part provides functional equivalence with the following considerations: wire gauge is 24-26 AWG (subset of the original 22-28 AWG range), contact material is brass, contact finish is gold, and termination is crimp. This part is from a different manufacturer and series (180 series) but maintains the same contact type (male pin), form (stamped), and material composition. The contact finish thickness differs (10.0µin versus flash), and termination finish is nickel rather than tin.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (1658670-3):

The TE Connectivity 1658670-3 is the primary substitute for the obsolete 748333-5. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the AMPLIMITE HDP-22 series. The 1658670-3 offers the advantage of active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected certification, making it suitable for new designs and applications requiring regulatory compliance. This part is available in high inventory (50,243 pieces) and is packaged in cut tape format.

For Alternative Selection (180-001-170L001):

The NorComp Inc. 180-001-170L001 provides functional equivalence when wire gauge compatibility permits. This part operates within the 24-26 AWG range, which is a subset of the original 22-28 AWG specification. Selection of this part is appropriate when system design accommodates the narrower wire gauge range. The part is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Contact finish thickness is specified at 10.0µin (0.25µm) compared to flash thickness on the original part. This part is available in high inventory (29,716 pieces) and is packaged in cut tape format.

Compliance Considerations:

Both substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, addressing regulatory requirements that the original obsolete part does not meet. Selection between the two substitutes should be based on wire gauge requirements and connector series compatibility within the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1658670-3 be used as a direct replacement for 748333-5?

A: Yes. Both parts are from the TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HDP-22 series and share identical wire gauge (22-28 AWG), contact material (brass), contact finish (gold), termination method (crimp), and contact form (stamped). The 1658670-3 is the active equivalent of the obsolete 748333-5.

Q: What is the difference between the 1658670-3 and 180-001-170L001?

A: The 1658670-3 is manufactured by TE Connectivity and maintains the full 22-28 AWG wire gauge range. The 180-001-170L001 is manufactured by NorComp Inc. and operates within a narrower 24-26 AWG range. Both parts have gold-plated brass contacts with crimp termination and stamped form. The 180-001-170L001 has a specified contact finish thickness of 10.0µin versus flash thickness on the other parts.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1658670-3 and 180-001-170L001 are ROHS3 compliant. The original 748333-5 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: What wire gauge range does the 180-001-170L001 support?

A: The 180-001-170L001 supports 24-26 AWG wire gauge, which is a subset of the original 748333-5 specification of 22-28 AWG. This part is suitable for applications using wire within the 24-26 AWG range.

Q: What packaging formats are available for the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts are available in cut tape (CT) packaging format.

Q: Can I use the 180-001-170L001 if my application requires 22 AWG wire?

A: No. The 180-001-170L001 is specified for 24-26 AWG wire gauge only. For 22 AWG wire applications, the 1658670-3 is the appropriate substitute, as it supports the full 22-28 AWG range.

Q: What is the inventory status of these substitute parts?

A: The 1658670-3 has 50,243 pieces in stock. The 180-001-170L001 has 29,716 pieces in stock. Both are available as new original components.
