DAM15P500N D-Sub 15 Position Right Angle Solder Plug Connector

Part Overview

The DAM15P500N is a 15 position D-Sub plug connector with right angle through-hole solder termination, manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) in the DM HE508 series. This connector is classified as obsolete, with 891 units currently in stock. The part features male pins in a 2-row configuration with shell size 2 (DA, A) layout, designed for signal applications with a current rating of 7.5A per contact and operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C.

Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and support long-term product availability for legacy systems and new designs requiring compatible alternatives.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: DAM15P500

DAM15P500 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute from Amphenol ICC (FCI), the original manufacturer of DAM15P500N. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications with 7.5A per contact current rating and operates across -55°C to 125°C. The part is in active production status with 741 units in stock. While operating temperature is reduced by 30°C compared to the original, this part provides the closest functional equivalence and supply continuity from the original manufacturer.

Secondary Recommendations for RoHS3 Compliance:

For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, the following active parts are suitable substitutes:

1-338169-2 (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series) provides 6A per contact current rating, operates -55°C to 105°C, and includes board lock and grounding indents features. RoHS3 compliant with 1780 units in stock.

3-338169-2 (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series) is functionally identical to 1-338169-2 with mating side female screwlock (4-40) flange feature, RoHS3 compliant, and 2662 units in stock.

8-1393480-6 (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series) provides 2.2A per contact current rating, operates -55°C to 125°C, includes board lock, ground strap, and grounding indents features. RoHS3 compliant with 682 units in stock.

Alternative Recommendation: 09662226803

Considerations for Lower Current Applications:

Parts 2-1393480-2 and 7-1393480-5 provide 2.2A per contact current rating and are suitable only for applications with reduced current requirements. These parts are RoHS compliant and operate across -55°C to 125°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DAM15P500N be directly replaced with DAM15P500?

A: Yes. DAM15P500 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute from Amphenol ICC (FCI). Both parts share identical connector type, position count, row configuration, shell size layout, mounting type, and termination method. Current rating remains 7.5A per contact. Operating temperature range is reduced from -55°C to 155°C to -55°C to 125°C. This substitution is appropriate for most applications within the reduced temperature range.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS non-compliant and RoHS3 compliant substitutes?

A: DAM15P500N and DAM15P500 are RoHS non-compliant, containing restricted substances such as cadmium plating. RoHS3 compliant alternatives (09662226803, 1-338169-2, 3-338169-2, 8-1393480-6) eliminate these restricted substances and meet current environmental regulations. Selection depends on application requirements and regulatory compliance mandates.

Q: Are there current rating differences between substitutes?

A: Yes. DAM15P500N and DAM15P500 both provide 7.5A per contact. HARTING 09662226803 also provides 7.5A per contact. TE Connectivity 1-338169-2 and 3-338169-2 provide 6A per contact. TE Connectivity parts 2-1393480-2, 7-1393480-5, and 8-1393480-6 provide 2.2A per contact. Selection must match application current requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference?

A: DAM15P500N operates -55°C to 155°C. Most substitutes operate -55°C to 125°C, reducing the upper temperature limit by 30°C. TE Connectivity 1-338169-2 and 3-338169-2 operate -55°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation above 125°C must use DAM15P500N or DAM15P500 if available.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: DAM15P500N is supplied in unspecified packaging. DAM15P500 is supplied in Tray. HARTING 09662226803 is supplied in Bulk. TE Connectivity 1-338169-2 and 3-338169-2 are supplied in Tray. TE Connectivity 2-1393480-2, 4-1393480-1, and 8-1393480-6 are supplied in Bulk. Packaging selection affects handling, storage, and integration into assembly processes.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: 3-338169-2 (TE Connectivity) has the highest inventory with 2662 units in stock, followed by 1-338169-2 with 1780 units. HARTING 09662226803 has 1067 units. DAM15P500 has 741 units. Inventory levels support immediate procurement for most applications.

Q: Can parts with different flange features be interchanged?

A: Flange features determine mounting interface compatibility. DAM15P500N has unthreaded housing/shell flange. Substitutes include unthreaded housing/shell (DAM15P500, 2-1393480-2), 4-40 threaded housing/shell (1-338169-2, 4-1393480-1, 8-1393480-6), mating side female screwlock 4-40 (09662226803, 3-338169-2), and M3 threaded housing/shell (7-1393480-5). Flange feature selection must match PCB mounting hole specifications and mechanical assembly requirements.
