Part Overview

The 172-E15-112-021 is a 15 Position D-Sub Plug connector manufactured by NorComp Inc., designed for panel mount, through-hole solder termination applications. This connector features male pins in a 2-row configuration with shell size 2 (DA, A) layout. The part is actively stocked with 826 units available as new original inventory.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters: 15-position configuration, D-Sub plug style with male pins, 2-row layout, panel mount through-hole mounting, solder termination, and shell size 2 (DA, A). Substitutes are selected when manufacturers discontinue production, when alternative sourcing is required, or when inventory constraints necessitate qualified alternatives meeting the same functional specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 15 positions, D-Sub plug style, male pins, 2-row layout, shell size 2 (DA, A)
• Mounting & Termination: Panel mount or through-hole mounting with solder termination
• Electrical Ratings: Current rating and operating temperature range
• Compliance: RoHS3 compliance status and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Shell Material: Steel construction with appropriate plating finish

The following parts meet these substitution criteria:

1. 172-E15-113R021 (NorComp Inc.) – Direct manufacturer equivalent with identical core specifications
2. 09642227235 (HARTING) – Cross-manufacturer substitute with compatible electrical and mechanical parameters
3. 627-015-221-056 (Mercury United Electronics, Inc.) – Cross-manufacturer substitute with shielded variant
4. 627-015-320-067 (Mercury United Electronics, Inc.) – Cross-manufacturer substitute with shielded variant
5. M24308/24-2F (TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine) – Military-grade equivalent with MIL-DTL-24308 compliance

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

172-E15-113R021 is the primary direct equivalent, manufactured by NorComp Inc. under the same product series (172-E). This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 5A current rating, -50°C to 100°C operating temperature, ROHS3 compliance, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Packaging differs (Tray vs. standard), but functional compatibility is complete.

09642227235 (HARTING) provides higher current capacity (7.5A) and extended operating temperature range (-20°C to 125°C), with ROHS3 compliance maintained. This part is suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance. Mounting type is through-hole without explicit panel mount designation.

627-015-221-056 and 627-015-320-067 (Mercury United Electronics, Inc.) are shielded variants with lower current ratings (3A per contact) and narrower operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C). Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 rating. These parts are appropriate for applications requiring electromagnetic shielding.

M24308/24-2F (TE Connectivity) is a military-grade equivalent compliant with MIL-DTL-24308 specification. This part is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected, making it unsuitable for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance. Current rating (5A) and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) are compatible. Flange feature differs (Housing/Shell unthreaded vs. Board Side 4-40).

For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance and standard commercial specifications, 172-E15-113R021 is the recommended primary substitute. For enhanced current capacity, 09642227235 is appropriate. For shielded applications, 627-015-221-056 or 627-015-320-067 are suitable. Military applications may utilize M24308/24-2F if RoHS compliance is not mandated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 172-E15-113R021 be used as a direct replacement for 172-E15-112-021?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by NorComp Inc. within the 172-E series and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 15-position D-Sub plug, male pins, 2-row configuration, shell size 2 (DA, A), panel mount through-hole solder termination, 5A current rating, -50°C to 100°C operating temperature, ROHS3 compliance, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Packaging differs (Tray vs. standard), but functional compatibility is complete.

Q: What is the difference between the main part and 09642227235?

A: 09642227235 (HARTING) provides higher current capacity (7.5A vs. 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-20°C to 125°C vs. -50°C to 100°C). Both maintain 15-position D-Sub plug configuration, 2-row layout, shell size 2 (DA, A), solder termination, and ROHS3 compliance. The HARTING part includes board lock and filter features. Mounting type is through-hole without explicit panel mount designation.

Q: Are the Mercury United Electronics parts (627-015-221-056 and 627-015-320-067) suitable substitutes?

A: These parts are suitable for applications requiring shielded D-Sub connectors. Both maintain 15-position configuration, 2-row layout, shell size 2 (DA, A), solder termination, and ROHS3 compliance. However, current rating is lower (3A per contact vs. 5A) and operating temperature range is narrower (-55°C to 85°C vs. -50°C to 100°C). Selection depends on application requirements for shielding and thermal performance.

Q: Can M24308/24-2F be used in commercial applications?

A: M24308/24-2F is a military-grade connector compliant with MIL-DTL-24308. This part is RoHS non-compliant and REACH-affected, making it unsuitable for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance. Current rating (5A) and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) are compatible with the main part. Flange feature differs (Housing/Shell unthreaded vs. Board Side 4-40). Use only in military or aerospace applications where RoHS exemptions apply.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: 172-E15-112-021 is supplied in standard packaging. 172-E15-113R021 is supplied in Tray packaging. 09642227235, 627-015-221-056, and 627-015-320-067 are supplied in Bulk packaging. M24308/24-2F is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest current rating?

A: 09642227235 (HARTING) has the highest current rating at 7.5A, compared to 5A for the main part and 172-E15-113R021, and 3A per contact for the Mercury United Electronics shielded variants.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: All substitute parts except M24308/24-2F are ROHS3 compliant. M24308/24-2F is RoHS non-compliant and is intended for military applications where RoHS exemptions apply.
