191-015-222-001 D-Sub 15 Position Receptacle Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The NorComp Inc. 191-015-222-001 is a 15 position D-Sub receptacle connector with female sockets, designed for panel mount applications. This connector features a 2-row (DA, A) shell layout with press-fit termination and is constructed from nickel-plated steel with gold-flashed phosphor bronze contacts. The part is currently in active production with 1163 units in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative mounting configurations are required, or when design revisions call for different flange features or contact finishes while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Recommended for Panel Mount Applications):

The 191-015-223R001 from NorComp Inc. is the primary direct equivalent. It maintains identical mounting type (panel mount), flange configuration (housing/shell unthreaded), shell finish (nickel plated), and contact specifications. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and active in production. The 191-015-223R001 offers higher inventory availability (1580 units vs. 1163 units).

Through-Hole Mounting Alternatives (When PCB Integration Required):

The Amphenol ICC L17TF series provides through-hole mounting options while maintaining core electrical compatibility. Selection within this series depends on flange feature requirements:

L17TF1500100, L17TF1500101: Unthreaded housing or 4-40 screw holes
L17TF1500102, L17TF1500105: Mating side female screwlock (4-40 or M3)
L17TF1500104, L17TF1500114, L17TF1500115: Housing/shell with M3 holes or mating side M3 screwlock

All Amphenol ICC alternatives feature tin-plated steel shells and are RoHS compliant with active product status. Current rating is reduced to 3A compared to the 5A rating of the NorComp parts; this is acceptable for signal-level D-Sub applications but must be verified against circuit requirements.

Obsolete Alternative (Not Recommended for New Designs):

The HARTING 09662546513 is marked obsolete and should not be selected for new designs. While it offers higher current rating (6.5A) and board lock features, its discontinued status creates long-term supply risk.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the 191-015-222-001 with an Amphenol ICC L17TF series connector?

A: Yes, if your application permits through-hole mounting instead of panel mount. The L17TF series maintains the same 15-position, 2-row D-Sub configuration, press-fit termination, and operating temperature range. The primary differences are mounting method and reduced current rating (3A vs. 5A). Verify that your PCB layout and current requirements are compatible before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the NorComp 191-015-222-001 and 191-015-223R001?

A: The 191-015-223R001 is a direct equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only practical difference is packaging (tray vs. unspecified) and inventory availability. Both are panel mount, nickel-plated, ROHS3 compliant, and active in production.

Q: Why do the Amphenol ICC connectors have a lower current rating?

A: The L17TF series is rated for 3A continuous current, compared to 5A for the NorComp parts. This difference reflects design variations in contact geometry and material composition. For signal-level applications (typical in D-Sub usage), 3A is generally sufficient. Verify your circuit's actual current draw before substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The NorComp parts are ROHS3 compliant. The Amphenol ICC L17TF series is RoHS compliant. The HARTING 09662546513 is ROHS3 compliant but is obsolete and not recommended for new designs.

Q: What flange feature should I select from the Amphenol ICC L17TF series?

A: Flange feature selection depends on your PCB mounting requirements. Unthreaded housing (L17TF1500100, L17TF1500101) provides basic through-hole mounting. Screw-hole options (4-40 or M3) allow mechanical fastening to the PCB. Mating-side screwlock features (L17TF1500102, L17TF1500105, L17TF1500115) provide cable-side locking. Select based on your mechanical assembly method.

Q: Can I use the HARTING 09662546513 as a substitute?

A: The HARTING 09662546513 is electrically and mechanically compatible but is marked obsolete. It should not be selected for new designs due to discontinued production status and potential future supply unavailability. Use active alternatives from NorComp or Amphenol ICC instead.

Q: What is the difference between nickel-plated and tin-plated shells?

A: Both finishes provide corrosion protection and are suitable for standard industrial environments. Nickel plating (NorComp parts) offers slightly better corrosion resistance in harsh conditions. Tin plating (Amphenol ICC parts) is equally acceptable for most applications. Selection should be based on your specific environmental requirements and existing connector inventory.
