Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

5745988-6 (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 Series)

This substitute is qualified for applications requiring enhanced current capacity (6A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). The part carries ROHS3 compliance and includes a ground strap feature. Voltage rating of 125V is specified. Packaging is provided in Tray format. This part is suitable for replacement in designs where higher thermal performance or increased current handling is required.

626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 (Mercury United Electronics 626 Series)

Both Mercury parts are qualified substitutes with the following considerations: current rating is specified as 3A per contact, which is lower than the main part's 5A rating. These parts feature board edge mounting capability in addition to through-hole mounting, and include board lock and shielding features. The backset spacing is 0.584" (14.84mm), which differs slightly from the main part's 0.590" (14.99mm). Shell material finish is nickel plated rather than tin plated. These parts are suitable for applications where the lower current rating is acceptable and where shielding or board lock features provide design advantages. Both carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status.

747836-6 (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 Series)

This substitute is functionally equivalent to 5745988-6 with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is packaging format (Tube versus Tray). Current rating is 6A, operating temperature range is -55°C to 105°C, and voltage rating is 125V. RoHS status is not applicable for this part number. REACH status is listed as REACH Affected. This part is suitable for replacement in designs requiring the same performance characteristics as 5745988-6 but with tube packaging.

Compliance and Regulatory Considerations

All substitute parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The main part (FCE17E09SC64B) carries RoHS Compliant status. Substitute parts 5745988-6, 626-009-262-032, and 626-009-662-032 carry ROHS3 Compliant status. Part 747836-6 has RoHS status listed as not applicable. For applications subject to RoHS directives, parts 5745988-6, 626-009-262-032, and 626-009-662-032 are preferred. All parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 626-009-262-032 or 626-009-662-032 be used as direct replacements for FCE17E09SC64B?

A: These Mercury parts are mechanically and electrically compatible for most applications. However, the current rating is specified as 3A per contact compared to the main part's 5A rating. If the application requires sustained current above 3A per contact, these parts are not suitable. Additionally, the backset spacing differs by 0.006" (0.15mm), which may require PCB layout verification. Both parts include board lock and shielding features not present in the main part.

Q: What is the difference between 5745988-6 and 747836-6?

A: Both parts are from TE Connectivity's AMPLIMITE HD-20 series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 6A current rating, -55°C to 105°C operating temperature, 125V voltage rating, and gold-plated contacts with 30.0µin thickness. The primary difference is packaging format: 5745988-6 is supplied in Tray packaging, while 747836-6 is supplied in Tube packaging. RoHS compliance status differs: 5745988-6 is ROHS3 Compliant, while 747836-6 has RoHS status listed as not applicable.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Three of the four substitute parts carry explicit RoHS compliance: 5745988-6 (ROHS3 Compliant), 626-009-262-032 (ROHS3 Compliant), and 626-009-662-032 (ROHS3 Compliant). Part 747836-6 has RoHS status listed as not applicable. The main part FCE17E09SC64B is RoHS Compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, parts 5745988-6, 626-009-262-032, and 626-009-662-032 are suitable.

Q: What are the key differences in contact finish between the main part and substitutes?

A: The main part FCE17E09SC64B has gold contact finish with 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness. Substitute parts 5745988-6, 626-009-662-032, and 747836-6 have gold contact finish with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, providing thicker gold plating. Part 626-009-262-032 has gold contact finish specified as flash thickness. All parts maintain gold contact finish for signal integrity and corrosion resistance.

Q: Can the Mercury 626 series parts be used in applications requiring 5A current?

A: No. The Mercury parts 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 are rated for 3A per contact, which is below the main part's 5A rating. Using these parts in applications requiring sustained 5A current would exceed the rated current capacity. For applications requiring 5A or higher current capacity, use 5745988-6 or 747836-6, both rated for 6A.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference in Mercury parts?

A: The main part and TE Connectivity substitutes have backset spacing of 0.590" (14.99mm). Mercury parts have backset spacing of 0.584" (14.84mm), a difference of 0.006" (0.15mm). This difference may affect PCB layout compatibility, particularly in designs with tight mechanical tolerances or where connector alignment is critical. PCB layout verification is necessary when substituting Mercury parts.

Q: Do all substitute parts include the same features as the main part?

A: No. The main part FCE17E09SC64B includes Filter and Mounting Brackets features. Substitute parts include different feature sets: 5745988-6 includes Ground Strap; 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 include Board Lock, Mounting Brackets, and Shielded features; 747836-6 includes Board Lock and Ground Strap. Feature differences may provide design advantages or require design modifications depending on application requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference between the main part and substitutes?

A: The main part FCE17E09SC64B operates from -40°C to 85°C. Substitute parts 5745988-6 and 747836-6 operate from -55°C to 105°C, providing extended low and high temperature capability. Mercury parts 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 operate from -55°C to 85°C, providing extended low temperature capability but matching the main part's high temperature limit. For applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 85°C, TE Connectivity substitutes are required.

Q: Are all parts available in the same packaging formats?

A: No. The main part FCE17E09SC64B packaging is not specified in the provided data. Substitute parts are available in different packaging formats: 5745988-6 (Tray), 626-009-262-032 (Bulk), 626-009-662-032 (Bulk), and 747836-6 (Tube). Packaging format affects handling, storage, and procurement logistics. Verify packaging requirements for your application and supply chain.
