Regulatory Compliance: The 1658688-1 is RoHS Compliant, providing improved environmental and regulatory alignment compared to the non-compliant 748639-1.

Documentation: The 1658688-1 includes specified shell finish thickness of 200µin (5.08µm), providing explicit manufacturing tolerance documentation.

Inventory Availability: The 1658688-1 maintains higher inventory levels (1765 Pcs) compared to the 748639-1 (1088 Pcs), supporting production continuity.

Selection of the 1658688-1 for new designs and field replacements eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing connector systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1658688-1 directly replace the 748639-1 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 1658688-1 is a direct functional equivalent with identical connector style, position count, mounting type, flange configuration, and material specifications. No design modifications are required for mechanical or electrical integration.

Q: What is the difference in RoHS compliance between these parts?

A: The 748639-1 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 1658688-1 is RoHS Compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the 1658688-1 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are the shell finish specifications equivalent?

A: The 1658688-1 specifies shell finish thickness at 200µin (5.08µm). The 748639-1 does not include documented finish thickness. Both use steel with tin plating as the shell material and finish. The documented specification in the 1658688-1 provides explicit manufacturing tolerance reference.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1658688-1 is supplied in Bulk packaging. The 748639-1 packaging specification is not documented in the provided data.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the 748639-1 and 1658688-1 are housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both components are classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are these components suitable for high-density D-Sub applications?

A: Yes. Both the 748639-1 and 1658688-1 are High Density D-Sub receptacles with 15 positions arranged in 3 rows, conforming to shell size 1 (DE, E) High Density specifications.
