2315-5111-TG Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 2315-5111-TG is a rectangular connector header manufactured by 3M, designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-board applications. This 15-position connector operates at 3A current rating with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features gold-plated mating contacts on a thermoplastic, glass-filled insulation body. The part maintains active product status with 683 units in current inventory. Substitute parts are identified to address RoHS compliance requirements and extended temperature operating ranges for specific application environments.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 2315-5111-TG is determined by the following critical parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), number of positions (15), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), mounting configuration (through hole, right angle), termination method (solder), current rating (3A), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

The two identified substitutes—68016-115HLF and 68016-415HLF—both satisfy these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) under the BERGSTIK® II series and maintain identical contact geometry, pitch spacing, and current handling capacity. The primary differentiators between substitutes relate to contact finish specifications and RoHS compliance status, which do not affect functional interchangeability in standard applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 2315-5111-TG remains suitable for applications within its specified operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable. For designs requiring RoHS compliance, either 68016-115HLF or 68016-415HLF provides direct functional substitution while meeting regulatory requirements.

The 68016-115HLF features gold or gold GXT™ mating contact finish and extends the operating temperature range to -65°C ~ 130°C, supporting applications in wider thermal environments. The 68016-415HLF provides tin mating and post contact finishes with identical temperature capability and RoHS compliance status. Both Amphenol ICC substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification and 3A current rating.

Selection between the two Amphenol ICC alternatives depends on contact finish requirements for the specific application. Both parts are active products with substantial inventory availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 68016-115HLF or 68016-415HLF be used as direct replacements for 2315-5111-TG?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting method, and current rating. The 15-position, 0.100" pitch header geometry ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility in board-to-board applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between 68016-115HLF and 68016-415HLF?

A: The primary difference is contact finish specification. The 68016-115HLF features gold or gold GXT™ mating contact finish, while the 68016-415HLF uses tin for both mating and post contacts. Both achieve RoHS compliance and identical electrical performance.

Q: Why does the 2315-5111-TG show RoHS non-compliance?

A: The 2315-5111-TG uses tin-lead contact finish on the post termination, which contains lead. The Amphenol ICC substitutes employ lead-free finishes, achieving RoHS compliance.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the substitutes affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended range (-65°C ~ 130°C for substitutes versus -55°C ~ 105°C for the original) represents an expanded capability. Applications within the original temperature specification remain fully compatible.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 2315-5111-TG packaging is not specified in available data. Both Amphenol ICC substitutes are supplied in bag packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.

Q: What contact material differences exist between these parts?

A: The 2315-5111-TG uses copper alloy contacts, while both Amphenol ICC substitutes use phosphor bronze. Both materials support the 3A current rating and maintain electrical performance within specified parameters.
