6815W1102001 D-Sub Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 6815W1102001 is a 5-position D-Sub combo plug connector manufactured by NorComp Inc., designed for panel mount, through-hole solder termination applications. This connector accommodates 4 signal positions plus 1 dedicated power position, utilizing male pins with a DE/E shell size (5W1 layout). The part is currently in active production with 797 units available in new original stock.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part number experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design requirements permit functional equivalents that meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 6815W1102001 and 681M5W1103L001 are active production parts manufactured by NorComp Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. The substitute part 681M5W1103L001 maintains identical electrical performance, mechanical fit, and environmental compliance specifications.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

Availability: The 681M5W1103L001 currently has 812 units in new original stock compared to 797 units for the primary part number, providing marginally improved supply availability.

Packaging: The 681M5W1103L001 is supplied in Tray packaging, which may influence logistics and handling procedures depending on assembly requirements.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts satisfy ROHS3 and REACH requirements, ensuring compliance with current environmental regulations for electronic components.

Series Designation: The substitute part belongs to the Power-D 681M series, while the primary part is designated as Series 681. Both are manufactured by the same supplier and maintain functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 681M5W1103L001 be used as a direct replacement for 6815W1102001 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications (5-position, 5A/40A current rating, -55°C to 125°C operating range), mechanical dimensions (DE/E shell size, 5W1 layout, panel mount through-hole), and material composition (steel nickel-plated shell, gold-plated contacts, PBT dielectric). No design modifications are required.

Q: Are there any differences in contact performance between these two part numbers?

A: No. Both parts utilize machined copper alloy contacts with gold finish at flash thickness, providing equivalent electrical conductivity and contact reliability.

Q: What is the significance of the different series designations (681 vs. Power-D 681M)?

A: The series designation reflects internal NorComp product line organization. The functional and electrical specifications remain identical, and both series are actively manufactured by the same supplier.

Q: Does the Tray packaging of 681M5W1103L001 affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format does not affect connector compatibility or performance. Tray packaging is a logistics consideration for receiving, storage, and assembly processes. The connector itself is functionally identical regardless of packaging method.

Q: Are both parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Yes. Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability rating, maintain MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity), and operate across the full -55°C to 125°C temperature range, supporting high-reliability application requirements.

Q: What is the contact current capacity for signal versus power positions?

A: The connector supports dual current ratings of 5A and 40A. The 40A rating applies to the dedicated power position, while the 5A rating applies to the four signal positions.
