Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 172-015-282-011 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following criteria determine substitutability:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 15
• Number of Rows: 2
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 2 (DA, A)
• Termination: Solder
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Current Rating: 5A or greater
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass or match the original specification

Acceptable Variations:

• Mounting Type: Panel Mount or Through Hole (both acceptable for circuit board integration)
• Shell Material Finish: Steel with Nickel, Tin, or Yellow Chromate plating
• Contact Finish: Gold plating (Flash or specified thickness)
• Dielectric Material: PBT or equivalent thermoplastic materials
• Contact Material: Brass or Phosphor Bronze
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant or RoHS non-compliant (application-dependent)

Direct Substitutes (NorComp Series 172):

• 172-015-283L011: Identical electrical and mechanical specifications with Tray packaging
• 172-015-281-011: Functionally equivalent with identical core parameters

Cross-Manufacturer Substitutes:

• 205736-7 (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series)
• FCE17A15SN280, FCE17A15SN2E0, FCE17A15SN480, FCE17A15SN4D0 (Amphenol ICC FCE17 series)
• 5-827190-1 (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Recommended for Direct Replacement):

172-015-283L011 and 172-015-281-011 are the preferred substitutes for the 172-015-282-011. Both are manufactured by NorComp Inc. within the same 172 series, share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, and maintain ROHS3 compliance. These parts are classified as Active products and provide seamless compatibility without design modification.

Cross-Manufacturer Substitutes (Conditional Selection):

TE Connectivity 205736-7 (AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series) is functionally equivalent with matching connector type, position count, shell size, and flammability rating. However, this part operates within a reduced temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -50°C to 125°C) and is RoHS non-compliant. Selection of this part is appropriate only when the application does not require the extended high-temperature capability or RoHS3 compliance.

Amphenol ICC FCE17 series connectors (FCE17A15SN280, FCE17A15SN2E0, FCE17A15SN480, FCE17A15SN4D0) provide electrical and mechanical compatibility with the following considerations: these parts operate within a narrower temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), are RoHS Compliant, and feature Phosphor Bronze contacts with reduced gold plating thickness (15.0µin versus Flash). Selection is appropriate for applications operating within the specified temperature envelope and where RoHS compliance is required.

TE Connectivity 5-827190-1 (AMPLIMITE HD-20 series) is listed as a similar part with 15 position configuration but lacks detailed parameter specification. This part should be evaluated only when complete technical documentation confirms compatibility with the application requirements.

Compliance Considerations:

Applications requiring ROHS3 compliance should prioritize 172-015-283L011, 172-015-281-011, or Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts. Applications with no RoHS requirement may consider TE Connectivity 205736-7.

Temperature Range Considerations:

Applications requiring operation at temperatures exceeding 85°C should prioritize NorComp 172 series parts (172-015-283L011 or 172-015-281-011), which support -50°C to 125°C operation. Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts are limited to -40°C to 85°C operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 172-015-283L011 be used as a direct replacement for 172-015-282-011?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by NorComp Inc., share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, and maintain ROHS3 compliance. The primary difference is packaging format (Tray for 172-015-283L011 versus unspecified for 172-015-282-011). No design modification is required.

Q: What is the key difference between NorComp 172 series parts and Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts?

A: The primary differences are operating temperature range and contact material. NorComp 172 series supports -50°C to 125°C with Brass contacts, while Amphenol ICC FCE17 series supports -40°C to 85°C with Phosphor Bronze contacts. Selection depends on application temperature requirements and contact material compatibility.

Q: Is TE Connectivity 205736-7 suitable for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance?

A: No. TE Connectivity 205736-7 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, use NorComp 172-015-283L011, 172-015-281-011, or Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness differences?

A: Contact finish thickness affects contact durability and wear resistance. NorComp parts specify Flash thickness, TE Connectivity 205736-7 specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm), and Amphenol ICC FCE17 series specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm). All thicknesses meet functional requirements for signal applications; selection should align with application mating cycle expectations and contact wear specifications.

Q: Can Amphenol ICC FCE17A15SN480 be used in applications operating at -50°C?

A: No. Amphenol ICC FCE17A15SN480 operates within -40°C to 85°C range. For applications requiring -50°C operation, use NorComp 172 series parts (172-015-282-011, 172-015-283L011, or 172-015-281-011), which support -50°C to 125°C operation.

Q: What mounting type differences exist between substitute parts?

A: NorComp 172 series parts support both Panel Mount and Through Hole mounting. TE Connectivity and Amphenol ICC parts support Through Hole mounting only. For panel mount applications, NorComp parts are required. For through-hole applications, all listed substitutes are compatible.

Q: Are there differences in shell material finish between substitutes?

A: Yes. NorComp parts feature Steel with Nickel plating, TE Connectivity 205736-7 features Steel with Yellow Chromate plated Zinc, and Amphenol ICC FCE17 series features Steel with Tin plating. All finishes provide corrosion protection suitable for signal applications; selection may depend on environmental exposure and compatibility with adjacent materials.
