Amphenol ICC 15742140 D-Sub Receptacle Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 15742140 is a 14-position D-Sub receptacle connector designed for panel mount applications with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination. This connector features a bail lock mechanism and gold-plated contacts rated at 20.0µin thickness. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 15742140 is constrained by the following critical parameters:

Matching Parameters (Required for Substitution):

• 14-position contact count
• 2-row configuration
• IDC termination technology
• Gold contact finish
• Bail lock feature
• RoHS compliance

Allowable Variations:

• Connector type (receptacle to plug configuration)
• Mounting style (panel mount to free hanging/in-line)
• Contact finish thickness (within gold plating specifications)
• Manufacturer identity (different OEM sources)
• Series designation (different product lines meeting electrical specifications)

The substitute part 552270-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical position count, row configuration, termination method, and contact material. The primary difference is the connector orientation (plug versus receptacle) and mounting configuration (free hanging versus panel mount), which represents a functional substitution rather than a direct pin-for-pin replacement.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Receptacle Panel Mount Applications:

The Amphenol ICC 15742140 is obsolete with 912 units currently in stock. The TE Connectivity 552270-1 is an active product with 1,930 units available; however, it functions as a plug connector in free hanging configuration rather than a panel mount receptacle. This represents a functional substitution only when system architecture permits connector orientation reversal and mounting method modification.

Compliance Considerations:

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance. The TE Connectivity 552270-1 carries REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 ECCN classification, providing regulatory clarity for international applications. The substitute part's higher contact finish thickness (30.0µin versus 20.0µin) exceeds the original specification, providing enhanced durability and contact reliability.

Inventory and Availability:

The original Amphenol ICC part remains in stock with adequate inventory for near-term requirements. The TE Connectivity alternative offers higher stock levels and active product status, supporting long-term supply chain continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 552270-1 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 15742140 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct replacement is not possible without mechanical redesign. The 552270-1 is a plug connector in free hanging configuration, while the 15742140 is a receptacle for panel mounting. Substitution requires mating connector modification and mounting structure changes.

Q: What electrical parameters remain identical between these parts?

A: Both connectors maintain 14-position, 2-row configuration with IDC termination, gold contact finish, and bail lock features. Electrical performance characteristics are equivalent for signal integrity and contact resistance applications.

Q: Is the higher contact finish thickness on the TE Connectivity part a concern?

A: No. The 30.0µin thickness on the 552270-1 exceeds the original 20.0µin specification, providing improved contact durability and extended service life without compromising compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The Amphenol ICC 15742140 is obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing. The TE Connectivity 552270-1 is active, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support for future procurement requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The Amphenol ICC part is supplied without specified packaging, while the TE Connectivity 552270-1 is packaged in trays, affecting handling, storage, and integration into automated assembly processes.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in new designs?

A: Only if system architecture accommodates plug-to-receptacle reversal and free hanging mounting instead of panel mount. Electrical compatibility exists; mechanical integration requires design modification.
