DAFME-101 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DAFME-101 is a 15-position two-piece backshell connector with 90° cable exit, manufactured by ITT Cannon, LLC. This shielded D-Sub accessory is designed for applications requiring right-angle cable routing with electromagnetic shielding. The part is currently active in production with 931 units in stock. Alternative models may be required when cable exit angle, plating specifications, or strain relief features differ from application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DAFME-101 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Requirements:

• Number of Positions: 15
• Compatible Shell Size: A
• Compatible D-Sub Size: 15pos and HD26pos
• Cable Type: Round
• Shielding: Shielded
• Primary Material: Metal

Variable Parameters Affecting Substitution:

• Cable Exit Angle (90° primary requirement)
• Plating Type (Blue Chromate vs. Nickel)
• Material Composition (Zinc Alloy vs. Metal, Zinc)
• Hardware Features (Assembly Hardware vs. Assembly Hardware with Strain Relief)
• Regulatory Compliance (RoHS Compliant vs. ROHS3 Compliant)

The substitute part 165X02699XE maintains all core compatibility requirements but differs in cable exit angle (45° vs. 90°), plating specification (Nickel vs. Blue Chromate), and includes integrated strain relief hardware.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DAFME-101 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring 90° cable exit angle
• Blue Chromate plating specification required
• Standard assembly hardware without integrated strain relief
• RoHS Compliant certification sufficient for application

165X02699XE Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring 45° cable exit angle
• Nickel plating specification acceptable
• Integrated strain relief hardware required
• ROHS3 Compliant certification required
• Higher inventory availability (1570 units vs. 931 units)

Both parts maintain active product status and full compatibility with 15-position D-Sub connectors, Shell Size A, and HD26pos configurations. Selection between these parts is determined by cable exit angle requirement and plating specification compatibility with the target application environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 165X02699XE replace DAFME-101 in all applications? A: No. The primary difference is cable exit angle: 165X02699XE provides 45° exit while DAFME-101 provides 90° exit. Substitution is only valid when the application can accommodate the different cable routing angle.

Q: What is the significance of the plating difference between Blue Chromate and Nickel? A: Plating type affects corrosion resistance and environmental compatibility. Blue Chromate and Nickel provide different protection profiles for specific operating environments. Application requirements determine which plating specification is acceptable.

Q: Are both parts compatible with the same D-Sub connector sizes? A: Yes. Both DAFME-101 and 165X02699XE are compatible with 15-position D-Sub connectors and HD26pos configurations with Shell Size A.

Q: What does the strain relief feature in 165X02699XE provide? A: The integrated strain relief hardware in 165X02699XE provides additional mechanical support for the cable assembly. DAFME-101 uses standard assembly hardware without this integrated feature.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. DAFME-101 is RoHS Compliant, and 165X02699XE is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet RoHS regulatory requirements.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs? A: Selection depends on cable exit angle requirement (90° vs. 45°), plating specification compatibility, and whether integrated strain relief is needed. Both parts are active in production and suitable for new designs when their specific parameters match application requirements.
