TE Connectivity 5177802-9 D-Sub HD 15P Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5177802-9 is a 15-position D-Sub high-density receptacle connector with female sockets, right-angle solder termination, and through-hole mounting. This connector is part of the AMPLIMITE HD-20 U-Slim series and is classified as obsolete. The connector features a 3-row configuration with shell size 1 (DE, E) high-density layout, tin-plated steel shell, and gold-plated copper alloy contacts rated for 2A at 125V operation across a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Due to the obsolete product status of the 5177802-9, identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production runs, repairs, and system upgrades. Active alternative connectors with compatible electrical and mechanical specifications are available from multiple manufacturers.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed are active products with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the regulatory and environmental requirements of the obsolete TE Connectivity 5177802-9.

Primary Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):

The following parts maintain the closest alignment with the original 5177802-9 specifications:

K61X-E15S-N (Kycon, Inc.) provides the most direct electrical and thermal compatibility, matching the 2A current rating and -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range of the original part. This connector maintains identical connector geometry, mounting configuration, and board lock features. The 30V voltage rating is lower than the original 125V specification; however, this part is suitable for applications operating within 30V constraints.

193-015-213R561 (NorComp Inc.) and 193-015-213R531 (NorComp Inc.) both support extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C), exceeding the original specification. Both maintain 2A current ratings and feature board lock functionality. The 193-015-213R561 variant includes female screwlock mating-side features, while the 193-015-213R531 uses standard housing/shell flanges. Both are suitable for applications requiring thermal performance beyond the original design envelope.

Secondary Substitutes (Acceptable with Design Considerations):

09561525612 (HARTING) maintains 2A current rating and board lock features with active product status. The operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) is narrower than the original specification and does not encompass the full -55°C lower limit. This part is suitable for applications operating within the -40°C to 85°C window.

632-015-666-032 (Mercury United Electronics, Inc.) and 632-015-666-033 (Mercury United Electronics, Inc.) provide enhanced current ratings (3A per contact) and include shielding features. The 632-015-666-033 variant includes female screwlock mating-side features. Operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) does not encompass the original 105°C upper limit. These parts are suitable for applications requiring higher current capacity and electromagnetic shielding within the -55°C to 85°C operating window.

A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB (Assmann WSW Components) supports 3A current rating and 250V voltage rating, exceeding the original electrical specifications. Operating temperature range is not specified. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher voltage and current capacity.

HD15-SN-24 (Adam Tech) and HDL15-SL-B (Adam Tech) both provide 3A current ratings and 250VAC voltage ratings. Operating temperature ranges are -55°C to 85°C (HD15-SN-24) and not specified (HDL15-SL-B). These parts are suitable for applications requiring higher current and voltage capacity within the specified thermal envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the K61X-E15S-N substitute for the 5177802-9 in all applications?

A: The K61X-E15S-N is electrically and mechanically compatible with the 5177802-9 for applications operating at 30V or below. The original part is rated for 125V operation. Applications requiring the full 125V rating must use alternative substitutes such as A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB (250V), HD15-SN-24 (250VAC), or HDL15-SL-B (250VAC). The K61X-E15S-N matches the original operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) and current rating (2A).

Q: What is the difference between the 193-015-213R531 and 193-015-213R561?

A: Both NorComp connectors are mechanically and electrically identical with respect to position count, shell size, mounting type, and current rating. The primary difference is the flange feature: the 193-015-213R531 uses a standard housing/shell (4-40) flange, while the 193-015-213R561 includes a female screwlock mating-side feature (4-40). Selection depends on the mating connector interface requirements. Both support the extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C.

Q: Are the Mercury 632-015-666-032 and 632-015-666-033 interchangeable?

A: The Mercury connectors differ in flange configuration: the 632-015-666-032 uses a housing/shell (4-40) flange, while the 632-015-666-033 includes a female screwlock mating-side feature (4-40). Both provide identical electrical specifications (3A per contact), shielding features, and operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C). Selection depends on mating connector interface requirements.

Q: Why do some substitutes have higher current ratings than the original 5177802-9?

A: The Mercury (632 series), Assmann (A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB), and Adam Tech (HD15-SN-24, HDL15-SL-B) connectors are rated for 3A per contact, compared to the original 2A rating. Higher current ratings indicate enhanced contact design and material composition. These parts are backward-compatible with 2A applications and provide additional capacity for higher-current designs. Selection of higher-rated parts does not compromise performance in 2A applications.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness (30.0µin vs. Flash)?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance. The original 5177802-9 specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating, providing enhanced contact durability. Substitute parts with flash gold plating (K61X-E15S-N, A-HDF15A-KG-TAXB, HD15-SN-24, HDL15-SL-B) provide thinner gold coverage. Flash plating is suitable for applications with moderate mating cycles. Applications requiring extended contact life or frequent mating cycles should prioritize parts with 30.0µin plating (09561525612, 193-015-213R531, 193-015-213R561, 632-015-666-032, 632-015-666-033).

Q: Which substitute is recommended for applications requiring the full -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range?

A: The K61X-E15S-N (Kycon) is the only substitute that matches the original -55°C to 105°C operating temperature specification. This part maintains 2A current rating, board lock features, and identical connector geometry. The 30V voltage rating must be verified against application requirements. For applications requiring both the full temperature range and higher voltage ratings, no direct substitute is available; design modification or custom connector sourcing may be necessary.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, all substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, matching the regulatory compliance of the original 5177802-9. All parts are suitable for applications subject to RoHS3 environmental regulations.

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

A: The original 5177802-9 features a tin-plated steel shell, while all substitute parts use nickel-plated steel shells. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and electromagnetic shielding. Nickel plating offers superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments and provides better long-term reliability. Tin plating is suitable for standard industrial applications. Shell finish selection does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can the 632-015-666-032 and 632-015-666-033 be used in applications requiring the full -55°C to 105°C temperature range?

A: No. Both Mercury connectors are rated for -55°C to 85°C operation, which does not encompass the original 105°C upper limit. These parts are suitable for applications operating within the -55°C to 85°C window. For applications requiring operation at 105°C, use K61X-E15S-N (Kycon) or 193-015-213R531/193-015-213R561 (NorComp, rated to 125°C).

Q: What is the significance of the shielded feature in the Mercury 632 series?

A: The Mercury 632-015-666-032 and 632-015-666-033 include shielding features not present in the original 5177802-9. Shielding provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression and is beneficial for applications in electromagnetically noisy environments. Shielded variants are backward-compatible with non-shielded applications and provide additional EMI protection when required.
