NorComp Inc. 982-015-010R031 D-Sub Backshell Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The NorComp Inc. 982-015-010R031 is a 15-position two-piece D-Sub backshell connector designed for round cable applications with 90° and 180° cable exit options. This connector is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The gray thermoplastic construction provides standard environmental protection for unshielded D-Sub applications requiring assembly hardware and strain relief.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 982-015-010R031 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Number of Positions: 15 (fixed requirement)
• Compatible Shell Size: A (fixed requirement)
• Compatible D-Sub Size: 15pos and HD26pos (fixed requirement)
• Cable Type: Round (fixed requirement)
• Cable Exit: 90°, 180° (fixed requirement)
• Shielding: Unshielded (fixed requirement)
• Hardware: Assembly Hardware, Strain Relief (fixed requirement)
• Mating Screws: 4-40 (fixed requirement)

The substitute part 975T015-010R011 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. Variations in material composition (thermoplastic versus ABS), color (gray versus black), and product status (obsolete versus active) do not affect functional compatibility within the D-Sub backshell connector category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 975T015-010R011 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 982-015-010R031. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, ensuring regulatory alignment for new designs and legacy system replacements. The substitute part carries active product status with confirmed inventory availability (1022 pcs), providing supply chain continuity for applications requiring 15-position D-Sub backshell connectors with 90°/180° cable exit flexibility.

The material difference between thermoplastic and ABS does not affect mechanical compatibility or electrical performance within the D-Sub backshell connector application category. Color variation (gray to black) is a cosmetic distinction that does not impact functional operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 975T015-010R011 directly replace the 982-015-010R031 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical specifications for number of positions (15), compatible shell size (A), compatible D-Sub sizes (15pos and HD26pos), cable type (round), cable exit angles (90°, 180°), shielding (unshielded), and mating hardware (4-40 screws). The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the thermoplastic and ABS materials?

A: The main part uses thermoplastic material, while the substitute uses Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). Both are plastic polymers suitable for D-Sub backshell applications. Material selection does not affect connector compatibility or performance in standard unshielded D-Sub configurations.

Q: Does the color difference affect compatibility?

A: No. The color difference (gray versus black) is cosmetic only and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection between colors is based on application requirements or system identification standards.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 982-015-010R031 and 975T015-010R011 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the inventory status for the substitute part?

A: The 975T015-010R011 is an active product with 1022 pcs available in new original condition, providing reliable supply availability compared to the obsolete status of the main part.
