Engineering Selection Recommendations

HARTING 09682635813 and 09682637813: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and maintain the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Current rating of 6.5A is lower than the DAM15P500C but suitable for applications not exceeding this threshold. Backset spacing reduction from 0.406" to 0.318" requires mechanical fit verification. Flange configuration differs with female screwlock (4-40) mating side feature. Recommended for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance and mating-side screwlock retention.

NorComp 182-015-113R161, 182-015-113R171, 182-015-113R181, and 182-015-113R531: All NorComp parts are ROHS3 compliant with operating temperature limited to -55°C to 105°C. Current rating of 5A is the lowest among substitutes and requires application verification. Backset spacing is 0.318". Flange options include unthreaded housing (182-015-113R161), housing with 4-40 threads (182-015-113R171 and 182-015-113R531), and mating-side female screwlock (182-015-113R181). NorComp parts feature ground strap and grounding indents. Recommended for applications requiring RoHS3 compliance and panel mount capability.

TE Connectivity 5747236-2, 5747236-4, 5747236-6, and 5747841-6: TE Connectivity parts maintain RoHS compliance (5747236-2, 5747236-4, and 5747841-6) or ROHS3 compliance (5747236-6) with operating temperature limited to -55°C to 105°C. Current rating of 6A is lower than the DAM15P500C. Voltage rating of 125V is lower than the DAM15P500C 300V rating. Backset spacing is 0.318". Flange options include unthreaded housing (5747236-2), housing with 4-40 threads (5747236-4), and mating-side female screwlock (5747236-6 and 5747841-6). 5747841-6 includes board lock feature in addition to ground strap and grounding indents. Recommended for applications requiring RoHS compliance and lower voltage operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the DAM15P500C with a lower current-rated part?

A: Substitution with lower current ratings (5A to 6.5A) is permissible only if the application circuit does not exceed the substitute part's current rating. The DAM15P500C is rated at 7.5A per contact. Applications requiring the full 7.5A rating cannot use substitute parts with 5A or 6A ratings.

Q: What is the impact of backset spacing variation from 0.406" to 0.318"?

A: Backset spacing determines the distance from the connector mounting surface to the contact plane. Reduction from 0.406" to 0.318" affects PCB layout and mating connector alignment. Mechanical fit verification is required before substitution to ensure proper mating and contact engagement.

Q: Are RoHS3 compliant substitutes acceptable for RoHS non-compliant applications?

A: RoHS3 compliant parts are acceptable substitutes for RoHS non-compliant parts. RoHS3 compliance represents a higher standard of environmental compliance and does not create incompatibility with applications designed for non-compliant parts.

Q: What is the significance of flange feature differences?

A: Flange features determine mounting and retention methods. Housing/Shell (unthreaded) provides basic mounting. Housing/Shell (4-40) adds threaded mounting points. Mating Side Female Screwlock (4-40) provides mating-side retention. Selection depends on mechanical assembly requirements and panel configuration.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a lower voltage rating?

A: Substitution with lower voltage ratings is permissible only if the application circuit does not exceed the substitute part's voltage rating. The DAM15P500C is rated at 300V. TE Connectivity parts are rated at 125V. Applications requiring the full 300V rating cannot use TE Connectivity substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between ground strap and board lock features?

A: Ground strap provides electrical grounding continuity between the connector shell and the PCB. Board lock provides mechanical retention of the connector to the PCB through locking tabs. These are independent features; a part may include one, both, or neither depending on the specific model.

Q: Are NorComp parts suitable for applications requiring the full -55°C to 125°C temperature range?

A: NorComp parts are rated for -55°C to 105°C operation. Applications requiring operation above 105°C cannot use NorComp substitutes. HARTING parts maintain the full -55°C to 125°C range and are suitable for extended temperature applications.

Q: What packaging differences exist among substitute parts?

A: The DAM15P500C is supplied in tray packaging. HARTING parts are supplied in bulk packaging. NorComp and TE Connectivity parts are supplied in tray packaging. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may impact procurement and handling procedures.
