DA15-PD D-Sub Plug Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DA15-PD is a 15-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Adam Tech, featuring male pins with solder cup termination. This connector is designed for signal applications requiring robust mechanical and electrical performance in industrial and commercial environments. The part maintains active product status with 813 units in current inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent D-Sub connectors share identical functional parameters: 15-position configuration, 2-row layout (Shell Size DA/A), male pin plug style, solder cup termination, and matching electrical ratings. Substitution becomes necessary when the primary part is unavailable or when design flexibility permits component sourcing from alternative manufacturers.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DA15-PD is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Connector configuration: 15-position, 2-row D-Sub plug with male pins Shell size and layout: DA/A (Shell Size 2) Termination method: Solder cup Electrical performance: 3A current rating, 250V voltage rating Operating environment: -55°C to 105°C temperature range Material specifications: Brass contacts with gold finish, PBT glass-filled dielectric Flammability compliance: UL94 V-0 rating Contact type: Signal application

The substitute part 5-747908-2 (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series) meets all these criteria, establishing direct functional equivalence with the DA15-PD.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DA15-PD and 5-747908-2 maintain active product status with full regulatory compliance. The DA15-PD carries ROHS3 certification, while the 5-747908-2 carries RoHS certification. Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and share identical EAR99 export classification and HTSUS commodity codes.

Selection between these parts should be based on availability, supply chain considerations, and existing inventory management practices. The 5-747908-2 currently maintains higher inventory levels (8101 units versus 813 units for the DA15-PD), which may influence procurement decisions for high-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-747908-2 directly replace the DA15-PD in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters: 15-position configuration, DA/A shell size, solder cup termination, 3A current rating, 250V voltage rating, and -55°C to 105°C operating range. No design modifications are required.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish specifications between these parts?

A: Both use gold-plated brass contacts. The DA15-PD specifies flash thickness, while the 5-747908-2 specifies 8.00µin (0.203µm). Both finishes meet signal-level contact requirements for this connector class.

Q: What is the significance of the different RoHS compliance statements?

A: The DA15-PD carries ROHS3 certification, indicating compliance with the most recent RoHS directive revision. The 5-747908-2 carries RoHS certification. Both parts are compliant with current regulatory requirements for lead-free manufacturing.

Q: Are packaging and inventory considerations relevant to substitution?

A: Both parts are supplied in tray packaging. The 5-747908-2 has significantly higher inventory availability (8101 units in stock versus 813 units for the DA15-PD). For applications requiring immediate delivery or high-volume procurement, the 5-747908-2 may offer supply chain advantages.

Q: Do these connectors require any special handling or storage conditions?

A: Both connectors carry MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) 1 rating, indicating unlimited shelf life without special moisture control requirements during storage or handling.
