Engineering Selection Recommendations
All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and full compliance with RoHS and UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Selection among substitute options should be based on the following documented specifications:
NorComp 183 Series (183-025-213R541, 183-025-213R561, 183-025-213R571): These parts are ROHS3 compliant and feature extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 105°C). The 183-025-213R571 variant includes Housing/Shell flange configuration and is available in the highest inventory quantity (2,006 pieces). NorComp parts include panel mount capability in addition to through-hole mounting.
TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE Series (5205858-1, 5745114-2, 5745536-2, 5745992-3, 5747838-3, 5747838-4, 5747838-6): These parts provide 6A current rating (exceeding the 5A specification of the main part) and include voltage rating specifications (125V). The 5747838 series variants (5747838-3, 5747838-4, 5747838-6) feature board lock and ground strap functionality. Part 5745536-2 maintains the highest inventory availability (5,499 pieces) among TE Connectivity options.
Backset Spacing Consideration: Parts 5205858-1 and 5745114-2 specify 0.545" (13.84mm) backset spacing, which differs from the primary 0.590" (14.99mm) specification. All other substitute parts and the main part maintain 0.590" (14.99mm) spacing.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I substitute a TE Connectivity part with a NorComp part in the same application?
A: Yes. Both manufacturers' parts listed maintain identical core specifications: 25-position, 2-row, DB/B shell size, right-angle through-hole solder termination, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 classification. Operating temperature ranges and current ratings in substitute parts meet or exceed the main part specifications.
Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference in parts 5205858-1 and 5745114-2?
A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting surface to the rear of the connector body. The main part and most substitutes specify 0.590" (14.99mm). Parts 5205858-1 and 5745114-2 specify 0.545" (13.84mm). This difference affects PCB layout and mounting clearance requirements. Verify board design compatibility before selection.
Q: Are NorComp parts with panel mount capability compatible with through-hole-only applications?
A: Yes. Panel mount capability is an additional feature that does not prevent through-hole mounting. Parts 183-025-213R541, 183-025-213R561, and 183-025-213R571 support both panel mount and through-hole configurations and are fully compatible with through-hole-only designs.
Q: What is the difference between the various TE Connectivity 5747838 variants?
A: All 5747838 variants (5747838-3, 5747838-4, 5747838-6) share the same base specifications but differ in flange feature configuration and contact finish thickness. Part 5747838-3 and 5747838-4 feature Housing/Shell flange (4-40), while 5747838-6 features Mating Side Female Screwlock (4-40). Contact finish thickness is Flash for 5747838-3 and 30.0µin (0.76µm) for 5747838-4 and 5747838-6.
Q: Does the higher current rating (6A) in TE Connectivity parts affect compatibility?
A: No. A higher current rating indicates the substitute part can safely handle greater current loads than the main part specification (5A). This represents an enhancement and does not create compatibility issues in applications designed for 5A operation.
Q: What packaging differences exist among the substitute parts?
A: NorComp parts are supplied in Tray packaging. TE Connectivity parts are supplied in either Bulk or Tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it addresses inventory management and handling requirements only.
Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant. The main part FCE17B25SC69B is RoHS Compliant. Both compliance levels satisfy RoHS directive requirements.
Q: Can I use a substitute part with an extended operating temperature range in a design specified for -40°C ~ 85°C?
A: Yes. Extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 105°C) in substitute parts exceed the main part specification (-40°C ~ 85°C). The substitute part will function correctly within the narrower temperature range specified for the main part.
