HARTING 09662556512 D-Sub Receptacle Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The HARTING 09662556512 is a 15-position D-Sub receptacle connector with female sockets, designed for through-hole solder termination applications. This connector features a 2-row configuration with shell size 2 (DA, A) layout and is rated for 6.5A continuous current. The part is currently active in production and maintains full RoHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct functional replacement in applications where the connector serves the same circuit role.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HARTING 09662556512 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type must be receptacle with female sockets
• Position count must be exactly 15
• Row configuration must be 2 rows
• Shell size and layout must be 2 (DA, A)
• Termination method must be solder
• Contact type must be signal
• Material flammability rating must meet or exceed UL94 V-0
• RoHS3 compliance status must be maintained

The NorComp Inc. 171-015-213R051 meets these core substitution criteria. Variations in mounting configuration (panel mount vs. housing/shell flange), contact material composition, shell finish, and current rating represent acceptable engineering trade-offs within the D-Sub 15-position receptacle category, provided the primary electrical and mechanical interfaces remain compatible.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the HARTING 09662556512 and NorComp 171-015-213R051 are active production parts with full RoHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements:

The HARTING part provides a higher current rating of 6.5A and an extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, making it suitable for high-current or extreme-temperature applications. The NorComp substitute offers panel mount capability in addition to through-hole mounting, providing greater installation flexibility in space-constrained or panel-integrated designs.

Both connectors maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission. The difference in dielectric material (PCT glass-filled versus PA9T nylon) and shell finish (unfinished steel versus nickel-plated steel) does not affect functional compatibility in standard signal applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NorComp 171-015-213R051 directly replace the HARTING 09662556512 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible in applications where the current requirement does not exceed 5A and the operating temperature range remains within -50°C to 100°C. The 15-position, 2-row D-Sub receptacle configuration is identical, ensuring mechanical and electrical interface compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the panel mount feature on the NorComp part?

A: The NorComp 171-015-213R051 supports both panel mount and through-hole mounting configurations, whereas the HARTING part is through-hole only. This provides additional installation flexibility but does not affect compatibility when used in through-hole applications.

Q: Are there differences in contact reliability between these parts?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated contacts and signal-grade contact type. The HARTING uses copper alloy contacts while the NorComp uses brass contacts. Both materials are standard for D-Sub connectors and provide equivalent signal integrity in typical applications.

Q: How do the dielectric materials differ in performance?

A: The HARTING uses glass-filled PCT, while the NorComp uses PA9T nylon. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Material selection affects temperature range and mechanical properties but does not impact functional compatibility in standard signal applications.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to these parts?

A: The HARTING 09662556512 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the NorComp 171-015-213R051 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format does not affect connector performance or compatibility.
