Amphenol ICC 17EBH015SAA210 D-Sub High Density Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 17EBH015SAA210 is a 15-position D-Sub high-density receptacle connector with female sockets, designed for through-hole, right-angle solder termination applications. This connector features a steel nickel-plated shell with gold-flashed contacts, rated for 3A at 125V, and operates across the temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The product maintains active status with 903 units in current inventory and carries RoHS compliance certification with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Substitute parts become necessary when addressing specific application constraints such as voltage requirements, current capacity limitations, operating temperature ranges, or material composition preferences while maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility within the D-Sub high-density connector category.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 17EBH015SAA210 are identified based on strict mechanical and electrical parameter alignment within the D-Sub high-density connector category. The following criteria establish substitution validity:

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector style: D-Sub, High Density
• Connector type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of positions: 15
• Number of rows: 3
• Shell size and layout: 1 (DE, E) High Density
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Flange feature: Mating Side, Female Screwlock (4-40)
• Backset spacing: 0.350" (8.89mm)
• Termination method: Solder
• Board Lock feature: Present

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact type: Signal
• Shell material and finish: Steel, Nickel Plated
• Contact finish: Gold, Flash
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute parts K66X-E15S-NJ and KF66X-E15S-NJ from Kycon, Inc. satisfy all mechanical compatibility requirements. However, these substitutes operate within reduced electrical specifications: current rating of 1.5A (versus 3A) and voltage rating of 29VAC (versus 125V DC). These parts are suitable for applications where the lower electrical ratings are acceptable and where the operating temperature range of -55°C to 75°C meets application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (17EBH015SAA210): The Amphenol ICC 17EBH015SAA210 is the specified component for applications requiring 3A current capacity at 125V operating voltage with extended temperature operation to 105°C. This part maintains active product status with established supply availability and carries full RoHS compliance certification. The copper alloy contact material and polyamide dielectric provide the specified electrical performance envelope.

Substitute Part Selection (K66X-E15S-NJ or KF66X-E15S-NJ): The Kycon K66X-E15S-NJ and KF66X-E15S-NJ connectors are mechanically and physically compatible substitutes for applications where electrical specifications can be reduced to 1.5A at 29VAC and operating temperature does not exceed 75°C. Both substitute parts maintain active product status and carry appropriate RoHS compliance certifications. The KF66X-E15S-NJ carries standard RoHS compliance, while the K66X-E15S-NJ carries ROHS3 compliance with REACH affected status. Both parts feature phosphor bronze contacts and PBT dielectric material, differing from the primary part's copper alloy and polyamide composition.

Selection between substitute parts depends on regulatory requirements: KF66X-E15S-NJ for standard RoHS applications, or K66X-E15S-NJ where ROHS3 and REACH compliance are mandated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Kycon K66X-E15S-NJ or KF66X-E15S-NJ be used as direct replacements for the Amphenol ICC 17EBH015SAA210?

A: These parts are mechanically and physically compatible for board-level integration. However, they are not direct electrical equivalents. The Kycon substitutes operate at reduced current (1.5A versus 3A) and voltage (29VAC versus 125V) ratings with a lower maximum operating temperature (75°C versus 105°C). Substitution is valid only when application electrical requirements fall within the Kycon specifications.

Q: What are the key mechanical compatibility factors?

A: Both substitute parts match the primary part in connector style (D-Sub High Density), position count (15), row configuration (3), shell size (1 DE/E), mounting type (Through Hole Right Angle), flange design (Female Screwlock 4-40), backset spacing (0.350"), and board lock feature. These parameters ensure physical interchangeability at the board level.

Q: How do the dielectric materials differ between the primary and substitute parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 17EBH015SAA210 uses polyamide (PA) nylon with glass filling, while both Kycon substitutes use polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with glass filling. Both materials carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Material selection should be verified against specific application environmental and chemical exposure requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the K66X-E15S-NJ and KF66X-E15S-NJ?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary difference is regulatory compliance: K66X-E15S-NJ carries ROHS3 compliance with REACH affected status, while KF66X-E15S-NJ carries standard RoHS compliance. Selection depends on whether ROHS3 and REACH compliance are required for the application or end market.

Q: Are there temperature-related constraints when substituting?

A: Yes. The Amphenol ICC primary part operates to 105°C, while both Kycon substitutes operate to 75°C maximum. Applications requiring operation above 75°C cannot use the Kycon substitutes. Conversely, applications with maximum operating temperatures at or below 75°C can use either substitute part.

Q: What contact material differences exist?

A: The primary part uses copper alloy contacts, while both substitute parts use phosphor bronze contacts. Both materials are gold-flashed to identical specifications (flash thickness). Contact material selection should be verified against specific signal integrity, corrosion resistance, and mating cycle requirements.

Q: How do current and voltage ratings affect substitution decisions?

A: The primary part is rated for 3A at 125V, while substitutes are rated for 1.5A at 29VAC. Substitution is valid only when actual application current draw does not exceed 1.5A and operating voltage does not exceed 29VAC. Applications exceeding these electrical specifications require the primary part or alternative high-capacity connectors.

Q: What packaging considerations apply?

A: The primary part is supplied in standard packaging, while both Kycon substitutes are supplied in tray packaging. Tray packaging is standard for high-volume production environments and does not affect connector functionality or performance.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Amphenol ICC 17EBH015SAA210 is RoHS compliant. The Kycon K66X-E15S-NJ is ROHS3 compliant with REACH affected status. The Kycon KF66X-E15S-NJ is RoHS compliant. All three parts meet RoHS requirements; selection between Kycon parts depends on whether enhanced ROHS3 and REACH compliance is required.
