Equivalent & Substitute Parts for DAM15P343

Part Overview

The DAM15P343 is a 15-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) in the DM HE501 series. This through-hole solder-terminated connector features male pins, a 2-row configuration (Shell Size 2, DA/A layout), and is rated for 7.5A per contact at 300V. The connector is constructed with a steel shell finished in yellow cadmium plating and gold-plated brass contacts, designed for harsh environment applications with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

The DAM15P343 is currently active in production. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters: 15-position configuration, 2-row layout, D-Sub plug style with male pins, through-hole solder termination, and compatible shell size (DA/A). Substitutes are selected where these parameters align, regardless of variations in secondary attributes such as shell finish, contact material composition, or operating temperature ranges.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DAM15P343 is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

Connector Configuration: 15-position, 2-row D-Sub plug with male pins
Shell Size and Layout: Size 2 (DA, A) configuration
Termination Method: Solder attachment
Mounting Style: Through-hole PCB mounting
Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating

Parts meeting all five criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Secondary parameters including shell material finish, contact finish type, current rating, voltage rating, and operating temperature range may vary within acceptable engineering tolerances for the D-Sub connector category. Parts with obsolete product status are included where all core parameters match, as they remain electrically and mechanically compatible.

The following substitute parts satisfy these criteria:

HARTING 09642227210 and 09642227240: Active status, matching core configuration
TE Connectivity 1-747872-6 and 1-5747872-6: Active/compliant status, AMPLIMITE HD-20 series

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Production Applications:

Select HARTING 09642227210 or 09642227240 when RoHS3 compliance is required. Both parts are currently active, meet all core D-Sub 15-position specifications, and carry ROHS3 certification. Note that voltage rating is reduced to 100V compared to the DAM15P343 specification of 300V; application voltage requirements must be verified before selection.

Select TE Connectivity 1-747872-6 when RoHS compliance and the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series specification are acceptable. This part is RoHS compliant with active product status. Current rating is 6A per contact (versus 7.5A for DAM15P343) and voltage rating is 125V; circuit requirements must accommodate these reduced ratings.

Select NorComp 172-E15 series (172-E15-113R001, 172-E15-113R011, 172-E15-113R021, or 172-E15-113R911) for active production when panel mount configuration is required. All variants in this series are currently active with ROHS3 compliance. Current rating is 5A per contact; applications must operate within this limit. Choose the specific variant based on flange feature requirements: unthreaded housing (172-E15-113R001), board-side 4-40 mounting (172-E15-113R011 or 172-E15-113R021), or dual-lock configuration (172-E15-113R911).

For Legacy or Maintenance Applications:

TE Connectivity 1-5747872-6 and NorComp 172-015-112R001 or 172-015-112R011 remain available for replacement in existing designs. The NorComp 172-015 series is obsolete but electrically compatible; inventory availability should be confirmed before design commitment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HARTING 09642227210 directly replace DAM15P343 in all applications?

A: HARTING 09642227210 matches the core D-Sub 15-position, 2-row, through-hole solder configuration. However, the voltage rating is 100V versus 300V for DAM15P343. If your circuit operates above 100V, this substitute is not suitable. Current rating (7.5A) is equivalent. Verify application voltage requirements before substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the NorComp 172-E15 variants?

A: All NorComp 172-E15 variants share the same electrical specifications (15-position, 2-row, 5A current rating, solder termination). They differ in flange configuration: 172-E15-113R001 has unthreaded housing; 172-E15-113R011 and 172-E15-113R021 have board-side 4-40 mounting; 172-E15-113R911 includes both board-side and mating-side screwlock features with board lock capability. Select based on your mechanical mounting requirements.

Q: Are NorComp 172-015 parts still usable despite obsolete status?

A: Yes. Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer no longer produces these parts, but existing inventory remains electrically and mechanically compatible with DAM15P343. Current rating is 5A (lower than DAM15P343's 7.5A). Confirm inventory availability and verify that 5A current rating meets your application requirements before committing to this option.

Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for connector selection?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance indicates the part does not contain lead, cadmium, or other restricted materials. DAM15P343 is RoHS non-compliant (yellow cadmium plating). If your application or region requires RoHS compliance, select HARTING 09642227210/09642227240 (ROHS3) or NorComp 172-E15 series (ROHS3). TE Connectivity 1-747872-6 carries RoHS compliance without the "3" designation.

Q: Can I use a substitute with lower current rating (5A or 6A) if my circuit only draws 4A?

A: Yes. If your actual circuit current is 4A, parts rated for 5A or 6A are suitable. However, document this derating in your design. The substitute's current rating must always equal or exceed your application's maximum current requirement.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish differences (gold vs. machined copper alloy)?

A: DAM15P343 uses gold-plated brass contacts. HARTING substitutes use machined copper alloy contacts without specified plating. Both provide electrical conductivity and mating durability. Gold plating offers superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments; copper alloy contacts are acceptable for standard industrial applications. Select based on environmental exposure and contact longevity requirements.

Q: Are panel mount variants (NorComp 172-E15) compatible with through-hole PCB designs?

A: NorComp 172-E15 variants support both panel mount and through-hole termination. They are mechanically compatible with through-hole PCB designs. The panel mount feature provides additional mechanical support but does not prevent standard through-hole soldering. Verify that your PCB layout accommodates the connector's physical dimensions and flange configuration.
