Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB (Assmann WSW Components)

The A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB is the preferred substitute for the 17EBH015SAA000. This part maintains identical core connector specifications (15-position, high-density, receptacle, female sockets, through-hole right-angle solder termination) and offers the highest inventory availability (6580 units in stock). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. The A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB features nickel-plated steel shell with gold flash contact finish, matching the primary part's material specifications. The higher voltage rating (250V versus 125V) provides additional design margin for applications operating within the primary part's voltage envelope. This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications where the unthreaded housing/shell flange configuration is compatible with the PCB or mounting structure.

Secondary Substitute: A-HDF 15 A-KG/T (Assmann WSW Components)

The A-HDF 15 A-KG/T provides an alternative with panel mount capability in addition to through-hole right-angle mounting. This part maintains all core electrical and mechanical specifications of the primary part, including the full operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) and 250V voltage rating. The tin-plated steel shell and copper alloy contacts meet the same flammability and compliance requirements. This part is suitable for applications requiring flexible mounting options or where panel-mount integration is beneficial.

Tertiary Substitutes: Mercury United Electronics Series 634 (634-015-263-042 and 634-015-263-043)

Both Mercury United Electronics parts (634-015-263-042 and 634-015-263-043) meet core connector specifications and are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 rating. These parts feature board edge and through-hole right-angle mounting options with board lock and shielded features. The operating temperature range is limited to -55°C ~ 85°C, which restricts their use to applications not requiring the full upper temperature capability of the primary part. The 634-015-263-043 includes mating-side female screwlock (4-40) flange feature, while the 634-015-263-042 includes housing/shell (4-40) flange feature. These parts are suitable for applications where the reduced operating temperature range is acceptable and where board lock or shielding features provide design advantages.

Selection Criteria Summary:

• For maximum compatibility and inventory availability: Select A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB
• For full operating temperature range with panel mount flexibility: Select A-HDF 15 A-KG/T
• For board lock and shielding features: Select 634-015-263-042 or 634-015-263-043 (verify operating temperature requirements)

All substitute parts are active in production and carry equivalent compliance certifications (ROHS3, EAR99, HTSUS 8536.69.4040).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can the 634-015-263-042 be used in an application requiring continuous operation at 100°C?

A: No. The 634-015-263-042 has a maximum operating temperature of 85°C. For applications requiring operation at 100°C, select either the 17EBH015SAA000, A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB, or A-HDF 15 A-KG/T, all of which support -55°C ~ 105°C operating range.

Q2: What is the difference between the flange features on the Mercury United Electronics parts?

A: The 634-015-263-042 features housing/shell (4-40) flange, which provides mounting holes on the connector shell. The 634-015-263-043 features mating-side female screwlock (4-40) flange, which provides threaded engagement on the mating interface. Selection depends on the mechanical mounting and mating requirements of the application.

Q3: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The primary part 17EBH015SAA000 is RoHS Compliant. All substitute parts (634-015-263-042, 634-015-263-043, A-HDF 15 A-KG/T, and A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB) are ROHS3 Compliant, which is a higher compliance standard. All parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Q4: What is the difference between nickel-plated and tin-plated shell finishes?

A: Both finishes provide corrosion protection for the steel shell. Nickel plating is used on the primary part (17EBH015SAA000), A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB, and 634-015-263-042/043. Tin plating is used on A-HDF 15 A-KG/T. Both finishes are acceptable for the same applications; selection may depend on specific environmental or contact resistance requirements.

Q5: Can the A-HDF 15 A-KG/T be used as a direct PCB mount replacement for the 17EBH015SAA000?

A: The A-HDF 15 A-KG/T supports panel mount, through-hole, and right-angle configurations. For through-hole PCB mounting with right-angle orientation, this part is compatible with the 17EBH015SAA000. Verify that the panel mount feature does not interfere with the intended PCB layout.

Q6: What is the significance of the "Board Lock" feature on Mercury United Electronics parts?

A: The board lock feature on 634-015-263-042 and 634-015-263-043 provides mechanical retention of the connector to the PCB during assembly and operation. This feature is not present on the primary part or the Assmann WSW substitutes. Board lock is beneficial in high-vibration environments or applications requiring positive mechanical retention.

Q7: Are the contact materials (Copper Alloy versus Brass) interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both copper alloy and brass contacts are acceptable substitutes. The A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB uses brass contacts, while the primary part and other substitutes use copper alloy. Both materials provide equivalent electrical performance and contact reliability for this connector category.

Q8: What is the voltage rating difference between the primary part and substitutes?

A: The primary part 17EBH015SAA000 has a 125V voltage rating. The Assmann WSW parts (A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB and A-HDF 15 A-KG/T) have 250V ratings. The Mercury United Electronics parts do not specify voltage rating. For applications operating at or below 125V, all parts are suitable. For applications requiring higher voltage margins, the Assmann WSW parts provide additional design headroom.

Q9: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: The A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB has the highest inventory availability with 6580 units in stock, compared to 1053 units for 634-015-263-042, 935 units for A-HDF 15 A-KG/T, and 737 units for 634-015-263-043.

Q10: Are all parts suitable for solder termination on standard PCB assembly equipment?

A: Yes. All parts (primary and substitutes) specify solder termination and are compatible with standard through-hole PCB assembly processes. Backset spacing is uniform at 0.350" (8.89mm) across all parts, ensuring consistent PCB layout and assembly procedures.
