Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 865615PLTX is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Connector Style: D-Sub
• Connector Type: Plug for Male Contacts
• Number of Positions: 15
• Number of Rows: 2
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 2 (DA, A)
• Contact Type: Signal
• Flange Feature: Housing/Shell (Unthreaded)
• Features: Grounding Indents
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

The identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability within the same application context. Variations in secondary parameters such as RoHS compliance status, dielectric material composition, or mounting type classification do not preclude substitution when the primary functional parameters remain constant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

865615PLTXLF is a direct manufacturer equivalent from Amphenol ICC (FCI) with identical core specifications to the 865615PLTX. This part achieves RoHS Compliance and is REACH Affected, making it suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance. Inventory availability is significantly higher at 4628 units.

205206-3 is a cross-manufacturer substitute from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series. This part achieves ROHS3 Compliance and is REACH Unaffected, providing an alternative for applications with stringent environmental compliance requirements. The dielectric material differs (Polyamide with glass filling versus thermoplastic), and mounting type is classified as Free Hanging (In-Line) rather than Panel Mount. Inventory availability is 3441 units.

Selection between these substitutes should be based on compliance requirements, supply chain constraints, and application-specific mounting configuration needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 865615PLTXLF be used as a direct replacement for 865615PLTX?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector style, type, position count, row configuration, shell size, contact type, flange feature, and grounding indent specifications. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status, with 865615PLTXLF meeting RoHS requirements.

Q: What are the key differences between 865615PLTX and 205206-3?

A: Both maintain the same 15-position D-Sub plug configuration with identical shell size and grounding indents. Differences include manufacturer (Amphenol ICC versus TE Connectivity), dielectric material composition (thermoplastic versus polyamide glass-filled), shell finish (tin/zinc plated versus tin plated), and mounting classification (panel mount versus free hanging in-line). The 205206-3 achieves ROHS3 compliance and is REACH unaffected.

Q: Are there operating temperature or mating cycle limitations when substituting parts?

A: The 865615PLTX specifies -55°C to 125°C operating temperature and 200 mating cycles. The 865615PLTXLF maintains these specifications. Operating temperature and mating cycle data for 205206-3 are not provided in the available specifications.

Q: Does dielectric material difference affect interchangeability?

A: The 865615PLTX and 865615PLTXLF both use thermoplastic dielectric material. The 205206-3 uses polyamide (PA) nylon with glass filling. Both materials are suitable for D-Sub connector applications; material selection depends on specific thermal and mechanical requirements of the application.

Q: What is the impact of mounting type classification differences?

A: The 865615PLTX and 865615PLTXLF are classified as Panel Mount. The 205206-3 is classified as Free Hanging (In-Line). This classification reflects intended installation method; physical compatibility with mating connectors remains consistent across all three parts due to identical shell size and layout specifications.
