Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 748468-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector style: D-Sub, High Density
• Connector type: Plug for Male Contacts
• Number of positions: 15
• Number of rows: 3
• Shell size and layout: 1 (DE, E) High Density
• Contact type: Signal
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Flange feature: Housing/Shell (Unthreaded)
• Features: Grounding Indents, Shielded
• Shell material and finish: Steel, Tin Plated
• Dielectric material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon, Glass Filled
• Color: Black

The substitute part TE Connectivity 1658675-1 maintains complete equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is product status: the 748468-1 is obsolete, while the 1658675-1 is active and available in production quantities.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1658675-1 is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete 748468-1. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the AMPLIMITE HDP-22 series, ensuring pin-for-pin and form-factor compatibility.

Product Status Consideration: The 748468-1 is classified as obsolete, while the 1658675-1 maintains active production status. For new designs, field service replacements, and ongoing production requirements, the 1658675-1 is the appropriate selection.

Compliance Advantage: The substitute part 1658675-1 provides improved regulatory compliance. It is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, compared to the main part which is RoHS non-compliant and REACH affected. This compliance improvement is significant for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance regulations.

Availability: The 1658675-1 is available in bulk packaging with 2005 pieces in current inventory, compared to the 748468-1 with 1098 pieces in stock. The active status of the substitute ensures continued availability for future procurement cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 748468-1 and 1658675-1 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components are D-Sub high density connectors with identical shell size (1, DE/E), 15-position, 3-row configuration, and free-hanging mounting type.
