The substitute part 171-015-103L001 is functionally equivalent to the 171-015-102-001 based on the following critical parameters that define substitution compatibility:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Both are D-Sub Plug connectors with male pins
• Position Count: Both feature 15 positions in a 2-row layout (Shell Size 2, DA/A configuration)
• Mounting Method: Both are panel mount connectors
• Electrical Ratings: Both support 5A current rating
• Contact System: Both utilize solder cup termination with signal contact type
• Material & Finish Specifications: Both feature steel shells with nickel plating and gold-plated contacts
• Environmental Compliance: Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability rating and are ROHS3 compliant
• Operating Range: Both operate across -50°C to 100°C temperature range

The primary difference is packaging: 171-015-102-001 is supplied in standard packaging, while 171-015-103L001 is supplied in tray packaging. Both parts share the same base product number (171-015) and are manufactured by NorComp Inc.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 171-015-102-001 and 171-015-103L001 are Active status products manufactured by NorComp Inc. and meet identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Choose 171-015-102-001 when standard packaging is required for your procurement and assembly processes, or when inventory availability of 978 units meets your immediate production needs.

Choose 171-015-103L001 when tray packaging is specified for automated assembly operations or when higher inventory availability (43949 units) is advantageous for large-volume production runs or long-term supply chain planning.

Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution. The UL94 V-0 flammability rating ensures compliance with safety standards for applications in controlled environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 171-015-102-001 and 171-015-103L001 electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors are identical in electrical performance, mechanical configuration, and physical dimensions. They feature the same 15-position, 2-row D-Sub plug design with male pins, panel mount configuration, 5A current rating, and operating temperature range of -50°C to 100°C.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary difference is packaging. 171-015-102-001 uses standard packaging, while 171-015-103L001 uses tray packaging. Both are manufactured by NorComp Inc. and share the same base product number (171-015).

Q: Which part should I specify for my design?

A: Either part is suitable for your design. Specify based on your packaging requirements and supply chain preferences. If tray packaging is compatible with your assembly process, 171-015-103L001 offers significantly higher inventory availability.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulations?

A: Yes. Both 171-015-102-001 and 171-015-103L001 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Q: What is the contact finish specification?

A: Both connectors feature gold-plated contacts with flash thickness, providing reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance for solder cup termination applications.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Both connectors operate across -50°C to 100°C. Applications requiring operation outside this range require alternative connector specifications.
