DAM15PN D-Sub Plug Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DAM15PN is a 15-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) with male pins and solder cup termination. This connector is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and component procurement. The DAM15PN operates within a 2-row configuration (Shell Size 2, DA/A layout) and is designed for free-hanging, in-line applications requiring signal-level connectivity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DAM15PN is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: 15-position D-Sub plug with male pins in a 2-row layout (Shell Size 2, DA/A)
• Termination Method: Solder cup termination for direct PCB or wire attachment
• Electrical Ratings: 7.5A per contact at 300V operating voltage
• Environmental Specifications: Operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C
• Physical Characteristics: Free-hanging, in-line mounting with unthreaded housing/shell
• Material & Finish Standards: Steel shell with yellow cadmium plating and gold-plated brass contacts
• Compliance & Certifications: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, EAR99 export classification

The substitute part DAM15P from Cinch Connectivity Solutions maintains functional and electrical equivalence across all specified parameters, enabling direct replacement in applications where the DAM15PN is no longer available.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The DAM15P from Cinch Connectivity Solutions is the designated substitute for the obsolete DAM15PN. This substitution is supported by:

• Product Status Alignment: The DAM15P maintains active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete DAM15PN.
• Functional Equivalence: Both connectors share identical electrical ratings (7.5A per contact, 300V), connector configuration (15-position, 2-row D-Sub plug), and termination method (solder cup).
• Compliance Consistency: Both parts maintain identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, and both are RoHS non-compliant with matching flammability ratings.
• Mechanical Compatibility: The DAM15P preserves the same shell size (2, DA/A layout), mounting type (free-hanging, in-line), and contact material specifications (brass with gold plating).

Selection of the DAM15P eliminates obsolescence risk while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility with existing system designs utilizing the DAM15PN.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DAM15P directly replace the DAM15PN in existing applications?

A: Yes. The DAM15P is functionally and electrically equivalent to the DAM15PN across all critical parameters: 15-position configuration, 2-row layout, solder cup termination, 7.5A per contact rating, 300V voltage rating, and identical shell size (2, DA/A). Direct substitution is supported without design modification.

Q: What is the primary advantage of selecting the DAM15P over the DAM15PN?

A: The DAM15P is in active production status, whereas the DAM15PN is obsolete. This ensures reliable long-term availability, consistent supply chain access, and eliminates the risk of component discontinuation.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these connectors?

A: No. Both connectors share identical compliance classifications: RoHS non-compliant status, EAR99 export classification, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Regulatory and export requirements remain unchanged with substitution.

Q: What packaging format is the DAM15P supplied in?

A: The DAM15P is supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for production and assembly environments.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges identical?

A: The DAM15PN operates across -55°C to 155°C. The DAM15P maintains compatibility within this temperature range for all specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in mixed-component assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. They share identical shell geometry, pin configuration, and electrical ratings, allowing use in the same socket or mating connector without modification.
