Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: DAM15P300

The DAM15P300 is the direct successor to the DAM15P300N within the Amphenol ICC product line. It maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications, including 300V voltage rating, 7.5A per-contact current capacity, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The primary advantage is active product status and RoHS compliance, making it suitable for new designs and long-term availability. Operating temperature range is reduced to -55°C to 125°C, which is acceptable for most industrial applications.

Secondary Recommendations: HARTING 09642227210, 09642227230, 09642227240

These HARTING parts provide mechanical and electrical compatibility as 15-position D-Sub plugs with solder termination and 7.5A current rating. All three maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Voltage rating is reduced to 100V and operating temperature range is -20°C to 125°C. These parts are suitable for applications operating within these electrical and thermal parameters. The 09642227240 variant is specifically listed as a substitute in the original DAM15P300N documentation.

Tertiary Recommendation: TE Connectivity 1-747872-6

The 1-747872-6 from TE Connectivity (AMPLIMITE HD-20 series) provides 15-position D-Sub plug configuration with solder termination and active product status. Current rating is 6A per contact and voltage rating is 125V. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 105°C. This part is suitable for applications with reduced voltage and temperature requirements compared to the original specification.

Alternative Consideration: NorComp 172-E Series (172-E15-113R001, 172-E15-113R011, 172-E15-113R021)

The NorComp 172-E series provides active product status with ROHS3 compliance and panel mount capability. These parts feature 15-position D-Sub plug configuration with solder termination, 5A current rating, and -50°C to 100°C operating temperature. They are suitable for applications with reduced electrical and thermal requirements. The 172-E series uses nickel-plated steel shells and polyamide dielectric material, differentiating them from the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DAM15P300 directly replace DAM15P300N?

A: Yes. The DAM15P300 maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications including 300V voltage rating, 7.5A per-contact current capacity, 15-position configuration, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The primary differences are active product status and RoHS compliance. Operating temperature range is reduced from -55°C to 155°C to -55°C to 125°C, which is acceptable for most industrial applications.

Q: What are the key differences between HARTING and Amphenol ICC substitutes?

A: HARTING parts (09642227210, 09642227230, 09642227240) operate at 100V maximum voltage compared to the original 300V specification. Current rating remains 7.5A. Operating temperature range is -20°C to 125°C versus the original -55°C to 155°C. These parts are suitable for applications within these reduced electrical and thermal parameters. All maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and active product status.

Q: Are NorComp 172-E series parts suitable replacements?

A: NorComp 172-E series parts (172-E15-113R001, 172-E15-113R011, 172-E15-113R021) provide 15-position D-Sub plug configuration with solder termination and active product status. However, current rating is reduced to 5A per contact and operating temperature range is -50°C to 100°C. These parts are suitable only for applications operating within these reduced electrical and thermal specifications.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance in substitute selection?

A: The original DAM15P300N is RoHS non-compliant. Most substitute parts (DAM15P300, HARTING series, NorComp 172-E series) are ROHS3 compliant, making them suitable for new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations. TE Connectivity 1-747872-6 is marked as "Not applicable" for RoHS status. Compliance status should be verified against specific application requirements.

Q: How do mounting type differences affect substitution?

A: The original DAM15P300N is through-hole mounted. DAM15P300 and HARTING parts maintain through-hole mounting. NorComp 172 and 172-E series parts feature panel mount with through-hole capability, providing additional mounting flexibility. Panel mount capability does not prevent use in through-hole applications but requires verification of mechanical fit within the specific PCB layout.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: DAM15P300 is supplied in trays. HARTING parts (09642227210, 09642227230, 09642227240) are supplied in bulk packaging. TE Connectivity 1-747872-6 is supplied in tubes. NorComp parts are supplied in trays. Packaging selection should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between brass and copper alloy contacts?

A: Both brass (used in DAM15P300N, DAM15P300, TE Connectivity, and NorComp parts) and copper alloy (used in HARTING parts) provide reliable signal transmission in D-Sub connector applications. Contact material selection does not affect substitution compatibility for standard signal applications. Material selection may be relevant for specific environmental or corrosion resistance requirements.
