TE Connectivity 215716-1 D-Sub Receptacle Housing Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 215716-1 is a D-Sub receptacle housing designed for female contacts in a 15-position, 2-row configuration. This component functions as the shell assembly for AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series D-Sub connectors and is classified as obsolete. The housing is constructed from tin-plated steel with a glass-filled polyamide dielectric material and is suitable for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications. Due to its obsolete product status, identification of active equivalent parts is necessary to ensure continued availability and supply chain continuity for new designs and production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 215716-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector style (D-Sub), connector type (receptacle for female contacts), number of positions (15), number of rows (2), shell size and layout (2 DA, A), mounting type (free hanging in-line), shell material and finish (steel, tin plated), dielectric material (polyamide nylon glass filled), and color (black). All substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series to ensure direct compatibility with mating components and existing circuit board designs. Compliance certifications including RoHS3 and REACH status must be maintained across all substitutions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 205205-2 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 215716-1. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector configuration, shell construction, and dielectric properties. The 205205-2 is classified as an active product, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The primary distinction between the two parts is product status: the 215716-1 is obsolete while the 205205-2 remains in active production. For new designs and ongoing production requirements, the 205205-2 should be specified to ensure long-term component availability and manufacturing continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 205205-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 215716-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 205205-2 is electrically and mechanically identical to the 215716-1 across all specified parameters. Both parts are AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series D-Sub receptacle housings with 15 positions, 2 rows, and identical shell construction. Direct substitution is supported without design modifications.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 215716-1?

A: The 215716-1 is classified as obsolete. The 205205-2 is the active equivalent part that maintains full compatibility while ensuring continued availability from TE Connectivity.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both the 215716-1 and 205205-2 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Regulatory compliance status is identical between the two parts.

Q: Does packaging differ between the main part and substitute?

A: The 215716-1 packaging is not specified in the provided data. The 205205-2 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the 215716-1 and 205205-2 are housing assemblies only. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included with either part.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
