Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Full Compatibility):

The parts 634-015-263-042, 634-015-263-043, A-HDF 15 A-KG/T, and A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB are classified as direct equivalents to the 17EBH015SAM210. All five parts share identical mechanical dimensions, pin configurations, and core electrical specifications. All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance status, which exceeds the RoHS compliance requirement of the primary part.

634-015-263-042 and 634-015-263-043 (Mercury United Electronics, Inc.): These connectors are functionally equivalent with identical current ratings (3A per contact) and backset spacing. Both parts are active products with substantial inventory availability. The operating temperature range of -55°C to 85°C is narrower than the primary part's -55°C to 105°C range. Voltage ratings are not specified for these parts. Both include board lock and mounting bracket features.

A-HDF 15 A-KG/T (Assmann WSW Components): This connector maintains full compatibility with the primary part, including the same operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) and an elevated voltage rating of 250V. The shell finish differs (tin plated versus nickel plated). The dielectric material is polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled rather than polyamide nylon. This part is active with 935 pieces in inventory.

A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB (Assmann WSW Components): This connector provides the highest inventory availability (6580 pieces) among all substitute options. It maintains the 3A current rating and identical backset spacing. The contact material is brass rather than copper alloy. Operating temperature range and voltage rating are not specified. This part is active and RoHS3 compliant.

Parametric Equivalent (Limited Compatibility):

K66X-E15S-NJ30 (Kycon, Inc.): This connector is classified as a parametric equivalent due to significant operational differences. The current rating is reduced to 1.5A (50% of the primary part's rating), and the voltage rating is specified as 29VAC (substantially lower than the primary part's 125V). The operating temperature range is limited to -55°C to 75°C. The contact material is phosphor bronze rather than copper alloy. This part is suitable only for applications where the reduced current and voltage specifications are acceptable. The part is active with 1465 pieces in inventory and carries REACH Affected status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use 634-015-263-042 or 634-015-263-043 as a direct replacement for 17EBH015SAM210?

A: Both Mercury United Electronics parts are mechanically and electrically compatible with the primary part. The primary consideration is the operating temperature range, which extends to 85°C rather than 105°C. If your application operates within -55°C to 85°C, these parts are suitable substitutes. Both parts are active products with good inventory availability.

Q: What is the difference between A-HDF 15 A-KG/T and A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB?

A: Both Assmann WSW parts are compatible with the primary connector. The A-HDF 15 A-KG/T features a tin-plated shell and copper alloy contacts, while the A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB has a nickel-plated shell and brass contacts. The A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB offers significantly higher inventory availability (6580 pieces versus 935 pieces). Both maintain the same current rating and backset spacing.

Q: Is K66X-E15S-NJ30 a suitable replacement for all applications?

A: K66X-E15S-NJ30 is a parametric equivalent with operational limitations. The current rating is 1.5A per contact (compared to 3A for the primary part) and the voltage rating is 29VAC (compared to 125V). This part is suitable only for applications where these reduced specifications are acceptable. The operating temperature range is also limited to -55°C to 75°C.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS compliance requirements?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed carry RoHS3 compliance status, which exceeds the RoHS compliance requirement of the primary part 17EBH015SAM210.

Q: What are the key mechanical differences between substitute parts?

A: The primary mechanical differences relate to mounting type and flange features. The Mercury United Electronics parts (634-015-263-042 and 634-015-263-043) include board edge mounting capability in addition to through-hole mounting. The A-HDF 15 A-KG/T includes panel mount capability. The A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB and K66X-E15S-NJ30 are configured for through-hole mounting only. All parts maintain identical backset spacing of 0.350" (8.89mm).

Q: Are there differences in dielectric materials between the primary part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The primary part 17EBH015SAM210 uses polyamide (PA) nylon glass-filled dielectric material. The Mercury United Electronics parts use polyester thermoplastic. The Assmann WSW parts and Kycon part use polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled material. These material differences do not affect electrical compatibility but may influence mechanical properties and environmental resistance.

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

A: The primary part and K66X-E15S-NJ30 specify 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold contact finish thickness. The Mercury United Electronics and Assmann WSW parts specify flash gold plating. Flash plating provides adequate contact protection for most applications while reducing material cost. Thicker plating may be preferred in high-cycle mating applications or corrosive environments.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best inventory availability?

A: A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB offers the highest inventory availability with 6580 pieces in stock, compared to 927 pieces for the primary part. This part is suitable for applications where the unspecified operating temperature range and voltage rating are acceptable.

Q: Can I mix and match substitute parts in the same assembly?

A: All listed substitute parts are mechanically and electrically compatible with each other due to identical connector geometry and pin configuration. However, design consistency and supply chain management typically favor using a single part number throughout an assembly.
