Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the L17TF3710101 is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: D-Sub
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 37
• Number of Rows: 2
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 4 (DC, C)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Type: Press-Fit
• Shell Material, Finish: Steel, Tin Plated
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 5788458-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, AMPLIMITE HD-20 series) meets all mandatory matching parameters. Both connectors feature identical D-Sub 37-position configurations with press-fit termination, through-hole mounting, and equivalent environmental ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the L17TF3710101 and 5788458-1 are active production parts with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications for 37-position D-Sub plug applications. Selection between these parts is based on the following factors:

Product Status: Both parts maintain active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability.

Compliance Certifications: The L17TF3710101 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the 5788458-1 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both meet current regulatory requirements for restricted substances. Both parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040.

Environmental Ratings: Both connectors operate across the -55°C to 125°C temperature range and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications.

Packaging Considerations: The L17TF3710101 is supplied in tray packaging, while the 5788458-1 is supplied in bulk packaging. Selection depends on inventory management and assembly line requirements.

Contact Material Specification: The L17TF3710101 specifies brass contact material with flash gold plating. The 5788458-1 specifies copper alloy contact material with gold plating. Both configurations provide equivalent signal integrity and electrical performance for press-fit termination applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5788458-1 directly replace the L17TF3710101 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical D-Sub 37-position configurations, shell sizes, mounting types, and termination methods. The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for through-hole PCB applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer (Amphenol ICC versus TE Connectivity), series designation (TF versus AMPLIMITE HD-20), packaging format (tray versus bulk), and contact material composition (brass versus copper alloy). All critical electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage limitations when substituting?

A: Both parts operate across -55°C to 125°C. The L17TF3710101 specifies a 300V voltage rating. The 5788458-1 does not provide a voltage rating specification in the available data. Verify voltage requirements against application specifications before substitution.

Q: Do both parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The L17TF3710101 is RoHS Compliant. The 5788458-1 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current regulatory standards for restricted substances in electrical and electronic equipment.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact materials?

A: The L17TF3710101 uses brass contacts with flash gold plating. The 5788458-1 uses copper alloy contacts with gold plating. Both materials provide equivalent conductivity and corrosion resistance for signal transmission in press-fit applications. Contact material selection does not affect interchangeability.

Q: How does packaging affect part selection?

A: The L17TF3710101 is supplied in tray packaging, suitable for organized component storage and controlled dispensing. The 5788458-1 is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for high-volume assembly operations. Packaging selection depends on manufacturing workflow and inventory management practices.

Q: Are grounding indents present on both connectors?

A: Yes. Both the L17TF3710101 and 5788458-1 feature grounding indents as standard, providing consistent EMI shielding and ground plane connectivity.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The L17TF3710101 specifies a 3A current rating per contact. The 5788458-1 does not provide a current rating specification in the available data. Verify current requirements against application specifications before substitution.
