Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 17EBH015PAM110 with equivalent parts is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector style (D-Sub, High Density)
• Connector type (Plug, Male Pins)
• Position count (15 positions)
• Row configuration (3 rows)
• Shell size and layout (1 / DE, E High Density)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Flange feature (Housing/Shell 4-40)
• Backset spacing (0.350" / 8.89mm)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Termination method (Solder)
• Shell material and finish (Steel, Nickel Plated)
• Contact finish (Gold, 30.0µin thickness)
• Contact type (Signal)

Environmental & Regulatory Compliance:

• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
• Operating temperature range capability

The K66X-E15P-N30 from Kycon, Inc. meets all mechanical and electrical compatibility criteria for direct substitution in applications where the specified electrical ratings and operating temperature range are acceptable.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: 17EBH015PAM110

The 17EBH015PAM110 is the recommended primary selection for applications requiring the full specified electrical performance envelope. This connector is actively produced, RoHS compliant, and rated for 3A current and 125V voltage operation across an extended temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The polyamide dielectric material and copper alloy contacts provide robust performance characteristics for demanding signal applications.

Substitute Part: K66X-E15P-N30

The K66X-E15P-N30 from Kycon, Inc. is a mechanically and electrically compatible substitute for applications where the reduced electrical ratings are acceptable. This connector is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant. Selection of this substitute requires verification that application requirements do not exceed the following limits:

• Maximum current: 1.5A (versus 3A for primary part)
• Maximum voltage: 29VAC (versus 125V for primary part)
• Maximum operating temperature: 75°C (versus 105°C for primary part)

Both connectors share identical mechanical form factors, mounting configurations, and flange specifications, ensuring direct physical interchangeability in PCB layouts and mechanical assemblies. The dielectric material difference (polyamide versus polybutylene terephthalate) and contact material difference (copper alloy versus brass) do not affect mechanical compatibility but may influence performance in specific chemical or thermal environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the K66X-E15P-N30 be used as a direct replacement for the 17EBH015PAM110 in all applications?

A: The K66X-E15P-N30 provides mechanical and physical interchangeability with the 17EBH015PAM110. However, substitution is limited to applications where the electrical ratings do not exceed 1.5A current, 29VAC voltage, and 75°C maximum operating temperature. Applications requiring higher electrical performance or extended temperature operation must use the primary 17EBH015PAM110 part.

Q: Are the PCB footprints identical between these two connectors?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including shell size (1 / DE, E High Density), backset spacing (0.350" / 8.89mm), flange configuration (Housing/Shell 4-40), and through-hole right-angle mounting type. PCB layouts designed for one connector accommodate the other without modification.

Q: What is the difference in dielectric material between these connectors?

A: The 17EBH015PAM110 uses polyamide (PA) nylon with glass filling, while the K66X-E15P-N30 uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with glass filling. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity specifications. Material selection may influence performance in specific chemical exposure or thermal cycling scenarios.

Q: Do both connectors meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. The 17EBH015PAM110 is RoHS compliant. The K66X-E15P-N30 is ROHS3 compliant. Both connectors satisfy RoHS directive requirements for lead-free and restricted substance compliance.

Q: What is the contact material difference, and does it affect compatibility?

A: The 17EBH015PAM110 uses copper alloy contacts, while the K66X-E15P-N30 uses brass contacts. Both materials are gold-plated to 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. This difference does not affect mechanical interchangeability but may influence electrical performance characteristics in specific signal integrity or corrosion resistance applications.

Q: Are both connectors available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both the 17EBH015PAM110 and K66X-E15P-N30 are supplied in tray packaging. The 17EBH015PAM110 has 817 units in stock, while the K66X-E15P-N30 has 1225 units in stock.

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for each connector?

A: The 17EBH015PAM110 operates from -55°C to 105°C. The K66X-E15P-N30 operates from -55°C to 75°C. Applications requiring operation above 75°C must use the primary 17EBH015PAM110 part.
