Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute part identification for the DA-15P-K87 is based on the following critical parameters:

Connector Style & Type: D-Sub family connectors with solder cup termination Contact Material & Finish: Gold-plated copper alloy contacts Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C range Compliance Standards: ROHS3 Compliant, UL94 V-0 flammability rating Termination Method: Solder cup configuration

The substitute part 164A10039X shares the D-Sub connector family classification, solder cup termination, gold contact finish, matching operating temperature range, and equivalent compliance certifications. However, differences exist in position count, shell size, connector type (receptacle vs. plug), and mounting configuration, which define specific application boundaries for substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Compatibility Assessment:

The DA-15P-K87 and 164A10039X share fundamental D-Sub connector architecture with matching solder cup termination and gold contact finish. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification across the identical -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range.

Critical Differences Affecting Selection:

Position count differential (15 vs. 25 positions) and shell size variation (DA/A vs. DB/B) establish distinct application boundaries. The DA-15P-K87 plug configuration with panel mount differs fundamentally from the 164A10039X receptacle with free-hanging in-line mounting. These differences preclude direct one-to-one substitution without circuit redesign and mechanical reconfiguration.

Compliance Status:

Both components maintain active product status with current inventory availability. ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 certification are equivalent across both parts, supporting use in regulated applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 164A10039X directly replace the DA-15P-K87 in existing assemblies?

A: No. The 164A10039X is a receptacle connector with 25 positions and DB shell size, while the DA-15P-K87 is a 15-position plug with DA shell size. Direct mechanical and electrical substitution is not possible without redesigning the mating interface and circuit layout.

Q: What parameters must match for D-Sub connector substitution?

A: Critical matching parameters include connector style (D-Sub family), termination method (solder cup), contact finish (gold plating), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0). Position count, shell size, connector type (plug vs. receptacle), and mounting configuration must also align with application requirements.

Q: Are the dielectric materials interchangeable?

A: The DA-15P-K87 uses PCT (Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate) while the 164A10039X uses glass-filled PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate). Both materials support the specified operating temperature range and flammability rating. Material selection depends on specific environmental and mechanical stress requirements of the application.

Q: What is the current rating difference between these connectors?

A: The DA-15P-K87 is rated for 5A, while the 164A10039X supports 7.5A. Higher current capacity in the substitute part does not enable direct substitution if position count and shell size requirements differ.

Q: How do packaging differences affect procurement?

A: The DA-15P-K87 is supplied in bulk packaging with 1060 units in inventory. The 164A10039X is supplied in tray packaging with 1096 units available. Packaging format affects handling, storage, and assembly line integration but does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same environmental conditions?

A: Yes. Both connectors operate across -55°C to 125°C and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance. Environmental suitability is equivalent for temperature and flame resistance specifications.
