Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for D-Sub backshell accessories is determined by the following parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the MDM series to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating D-Sub connectors
• Accessory Type: The substitute must serve the same functional role within the D-Sub assembly
• Shielding Requirements: Shielded backshells are substitutable only with other shielded variants to maintain EMI protection
• Material and Plating: Gold-plated metal construction ensures consistent contact resistance and corrosion resistance across substitutions
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS and MSL ratings must meet or exceed the original specification

The identified substitute C115288-6511 shares the MDM series designation and base product number C115288, indicating compatibility within the same connector family. However, this substitute represents a different accessory type (jackscrew versus one-piece backshell) and must be evaluated for functional equivalence in the specific application context.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Product Status Consideration: C115288-6274 is obsolete, while C115288-6511 maintains active production status. For new designs or long-term system support, C115288-6511 availability provides supply chain continuity.

Compliance Alignment: Both parts meet environmental compliance requirements. C115288-6511 carries ROHS3 Compliant status, representing current regulatory alignment. Both parts maintain MSL 1 rating and EAR99 export classification.

Functional Compatibility: The substitution relationship between these parts is limited by their different accessory types. C115288-6274 functions as a complete backshell assembly, while C115288-6511 is a jackscrew component. Direct one-to-one replacement is not applicable. Selection depends on whether the application requires a complete backshell assembly or individual fastening hardware for an existing backshell.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can C115288-6511 directly replace C115288-6274 in existing assemblies?

A: No. C115288-6274 is a one-piece backshell, while C115288-6511 is a jackscrew component. These serve different functional roles within D-Sub connector assemblies. Replacement feasibility depends on the specific assembly configuration and whether the application requires a complete backshell or individual hardware.

Q: Why is C115288-6274 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. C115288-6511, sharing the same base product number and MDM series, represents the active product line for this connector family.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. C115288-6274 is RoHS Compliant, and C115288-6511 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current environmental regulations.

Q: What is the significance of the shared base product number C115288?

A: The base product number indicates both parts belong to the same connector family and series (MDM). This establishes mechanical and electrical compatibility within the D-Sub ecosystem, though individual accessory types determine specific application suitability.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for these parts?

A: C115288-6274 has 797 pieces in stock (obsolete status), while C115288-6511 has 843 pieces available (active status). For ongoing procurement, the active status of C115288-6511 provides greater supply reliability.
