Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 172-015-282-001 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Position Count: All substitutes must be 15-position D-Sub receptacles with female sockets
Shell Size & Layout: Shell size 2 (DA, A) configuration is mandatory for mechanical compatibility
Mounting & Termination: Panel mount through-hole solder termination is required
Electrical Ratings: Current rating of 5A or higher and UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Operating Temperature Range: Minimum -50°C to 125°C coverage
Contact & Shell Materials: Gold-plated contacts with steel shell construction

Parts are grouped into direct equivalents (identical specifications) and compatible substitutes (functionally equivalent with minor parameter variations that do not affect application performance).

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (NorComp Series 172)

The parts 172-015-283L001 and 172-015-281-001 are direct equivalents to 172-015-282-001. All three are manufactured by NorComp Inc. within the Series 172 family, share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, and maintain ROHS3 compliance. These parts are interchangeable without design modification. Selection among these three should be based on packaging preference (tray vs. bulk) and inventory availability.

Compatible Substitutes (TE Connectivity 205736-7)

The TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series part 205736-7 meets the core functional requirements of 15-position D-Sub receptacle with matching shell size and solder termination. However, this part is RoHS non-compliant and operates within a narrower temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -50°C to 125°C). Use this substitute only in applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated and operating temperature does not exceed 105°C.

Compatible Substitutes (Amphenol FCE17 Series)

The Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts (FCE17A15SN280, FCE17A15SN2E0, FCE17A15SN480, FCE17A15SN4D0) are functionally compatible substitutes. All maintain 15-position configuration, shell size 2 (DA, A), solder termination, and RoHS compliance. The primary limitation is the reduced operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), which restricts use to applications not requiring the full -50°C to 125°C capability of the original part. The FCE17A15SN480 and FCE17A15SN4D0 variants feature board-side mounting (4-40) flange, which differs from the panel mount configuration of 172-015-282-001 and may require mechanical redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use 172-015-283L001 or 172-015-281-001 as direct replacements for 172-015-282-001?

A: Yes. Both parts are NorComp Series 172 equivalents with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. They are fully interchangeable without design changes. Selection should be based on packaging format and stock availability.

Q: What is the key difference between the NorComp parts and the TE Connectivity 205736-7?

A: The 205736-7 is RoHS non-compliant and operates at a reduced temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). Use this part only in applications where RoHS compliance is not required and maximum operating temperature does not exceed 105°C.

Q: Can I use Amphenol FCE17 series connectors as substitutes?

A: The FCE17 series parts are functionally compatible for 15-position D-Sub receptacle applications. However, they operate within a narrower temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). Do not use these parts in applications requiring the full -50°C to 125°C operating range. Additionally, FCE17A15SN480 and FCE17A15SN4D0 feature board-side mounting, which differs from the panel mount configuration and may require mechanical redesign.

Q: What parameters must match for a part to be considered a substitute?

A: Critical matching parameters are: 15-position count, 2-row configuration, shell size 2 (DA, A), receptacle with female sockets, solder termination, gold-plated contacts, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Operating temperature range and RoHS compliance status must be evaluated against application requirements.

Q: Are there any compliance differences I should consider?

A: The NorComp Series 172 parts (172-015-282-001, 172-015-283L001, 172-015-281-001) and Amphenol FCE17 series are ROHS3 compliant. The TE Connectivity 205736-7 is RoHS non-compliant. Select based on your product's regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference between FCE17A15SN280, FCE17A15SN2E0, FCE17A15SN480, and FCE17A15SN4D0?

A: The FCE17A15SN280 and FCE17A15SN2E0 feature unthreaded housing/shell flange suitable for panel mount applications. The FCE17A15SN480 and FCE17A15SN4D0 feature board-side (4-40) flange for board-level mounting. All four share identical electrical specifications and temperature range. Selection depends on your mechanical mounting requirements.
