Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 172-015-182-011 are grouped based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 15
• Number of Rows: 2
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 2 (DA, A)
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Type: Signal
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Dielectric Material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)

Secondary Considerations:

• Mounting Type: Panel Mount or Through Hole configurations
• Shell Material and Finish: Steel with various plating options
• Current Rating: Varies between 3A and 7.5A depending on contact design
• Operating Temperature Range: -50°C to -55°C minimum; 125°C maximum
• Compliance: RoHS3 and REACH Unaffected status

Substitute parts from NorComp Inc. (172-015-183L011, 172-015-181-011) maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. HARTING parts (09662216701, 09662216702, 09662216703, 09662217701, 09662217702, 09662217703) provide equivalent functionality with higher current ratings (7.5A) and machined contact forms. Hirose Electric SDAB-15P(55) offers panel mount configuration with lower current rating (3A) and gold contact finish.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

NorComp Inc. Direct Substitutes (172-015-183L011, 172-015-181-011): These parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the 172-015-182-011. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The 172-015-183L011 is supplied in tray packaging with 1200 units in stock. The 172-015-181-011 is available with 1045 units in stock. These represent the closest functional equivalents for direct replacement.

HARTING D-Sub Plugs (09662216701, 09662216702, 09662216703, 09662217701, 09662217702, 09662217703): HARTING substitutes provide higher current ratings (7.5A versus 5A) with machined contact forms and glass-filled dielectric materials. All HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. These parts are suitable for applications requiring enhanced current capacity. Flange feature variations (Housing/Shell M3, Housing/Shell 4-40, Mating Side Female Screwlock 4-40) accommodate different mounting configurations. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C minimum, providing broader thermal performance.

Hirose Electric SDAB-15P(55): The SDAB-15P(55) maintains panel mount configuration with gold contact finish and nickel-plated steel shell. Current rating is 3A, suitable for lower-power signal applications. This part is RoHS compliant and supplied in tray packaging with 670 units in stock. Voltage rating of 350V is specified. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications with reduced current requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute a HARTING part for the NorComp 172-015-182-011?

A: Yes. HARTING parts 09662216701, 09662216702, 09662216703, 09662217701, 09662217702, and 09662217703 are functionally equivalent. All maintain 15-position, 2-row, DA/A shell size configuration with solder termination and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Key differences include higher current rating (7.5A), machined contact form, and extended operating temperature range (-55°C minimum). Flange feature variations must be matched to your mounting requirements.

Q: What is the difference between panel mount and through-hole mounting?

A: Panel mount connectors are designed for installation through a panel or enclosure wall with the connector body positioned on one side and the flange on the other. Through-hole mounting uses solder pads on a printed circuit board. The 172-015-182-011 supports both configurations. HARTING substitutes (except those with specific flange features) support through-hole mounting only. The Hirose SDAB-15P(55) supports both panel mount and through-hole.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 172-015-182-011 and all listed substitutes are RoHS3 compliant or RoHS compliant. REACH status is unaffected for NorComp and HARTING parts. Hirose SDAB-15P(55) REACH status is not specified in available data.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and electrical performance. The 172-015-182-011 specifies gold flash finish. The Hirose SDAB-15P(55) specifies 8.00µin (0.203µm) gold thickness. HARTING parts do not specify contact finish thickness. For applications requiring specific contact durability or electrical characteristics, contact finish thickness should be evaluated against application requirements.

Q: Can I use the SDAB-15P(55) in place of the 172-015-182-011?

A: The SDAB-15P(55) is functionally equivalent for signal applications with current requirements of 3A or less. It maintains 15-position, 2-row, DA/A shell configuration with solder termination and UL94 V-0 rating. However, the reduced current rating (3A versus 5A) limits its use to lower-power applications. If your application requires 5A current capacity, HARTING substitutes or NorComp direct equivalents are more appropriate.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 172-015-182-011 packaging is not specified. The 172-015-183L011 is supplied in tray packaging. HARTING parts are supplied in bulk packaging. The Hirose SDAB-15P(55) is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection may affect handling, storage, and procurement processes.

Q: How do flange features affect connector selection?

A: Flange features determine how the connector is secured to the mating surface. NorComp parts specify board-side flange (4-40) or unthreaded housing/shell. HARTING parts offer Housing/Shell (M3), Housing/Shell (4-40), or Mating Side Female Screwlock (4-40) options. Your application's mechanical interface requirements determine which flange feature is appropriate. Mismatched flange features will prevent proper installation.
