DAM15S300N D-Sub 15 Position Receptacle Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DAM15S300N is a 15 position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) with female sockets, vertical solder termination, and through-hole mounting. This connector is classified as obsolete, making substitute parts necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 155°C with a 7.5A per contact current rating and 300V voltage rating.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the DAM15S300N is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters: connector type (receptacle, female sockets), number of positions (15), shell size and layout (2 DA, A), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). The substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on functional compatibility:

Category 1: Direct Amphenol ICC (FCI) Substitutes DAM15S300 represents the active production equivalent within the same manufacturer family, differing only in product status (active vs. obsolete) and minor series designation changes.

Category 2: Cross-Manufacturer Substitutes HARTING (09642127210, 09642127230, 09642127240) and NorComp Inc. (172-015-212R001, 172-015-212R911, 172-E15-213R001, 172-E15-213R011, 172-E15-213R021, 172-E15-213R031) parts maintain the core electrical and mechanical specifications: 15 positions, D-Sub receptacle configuration, female sockets, solder termination, through-hole mounting, and UL94 V-0 rating. These parts are functionally interchangeable within the specified parameter constraints.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: DAM15S300 DAM15S300 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute from Amphenol ICC (FCI). This part maintains identical electrical specifications (7.5A per contact, 300V rating) and mechanical configuration. The primary distinction is product status transition from obsolete to active production. However, the operating temperature range narrows from -55°C to 155°C to -55°C to 125°C, and contact material changes from brass to phosphor bronze. Applications requiring the full -55°C to 155°C range should evaluate this limitation.

Secondary Substitutes: HARTING 09642127210, 09642127230, 09642127240 These HARTING parts maintain 15-position D-Sub receptacle configuration with solder termination and through-hole mounting. All three are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance. Current rating remains at 7.5A, but voltage rating reduces to 100V and operating temperature range narrows to -20°C to 125°C. These parts are suitable for applications within the reduced electrical and thermal specifications. Contact material is copper alloy rather than brass.

Tertiary Substitutes: NorComp Inc. 172 Series NorComp parts (172-015-212R001, 172-015-212R911, 172-E15-213R001, 172-E15-213R011, 172-E15-213R021, 172-E15-213R031) provide 15-position D-Sub receptacle configuration with panel mount and through-hole mounting options. Current rating reduces to 5A, and operating temperature range is -50°C to 100°C. The 172-E series parts are active production with ROHS3 compliance, while 172-015 series are obsolete. These parts are suitable for lower-current applications within the specified thermal range.

Applications requiring the original 7.5A per contact rating and 300V voltage specification should prioritize DAM15S300. Applications with reduced electrical requirements may utilize HARTING or NorComp alternatives based on thermal and compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DAM15S300N be directly replaced with DAM15S300? A: DAM15S300 is the active production equivalent with identical mechanical and primary electrical specifications (15 positions, 7.5A per contact, 300V). The operating temperature range reduces from -55°C to 155°C to -55°C to 125°C, and contact material changes from brass to phosphor bronze. Substitution is valid for applications within the reduced temperature range.

Q: What are the key differences between Amphenol ICC and HARTING substitutes? A: HARTING parts (09642127210, 09642127230, 09642127240) maintain the 15-position D-Sub receptacle configuration and 7.5A current rating but reduce voltage rating to 100V and operating temperature to -20°C to 125°C. Contact material is copper alloy. These parts are ROHS3 compliant and active production. Substitution is valid for applications within the reduced electrical specifications.

Q: Are NorComp 172 series parts suitable replacements? A: NorComp 172 series parts maintain the 15-position D-Sub receptacle configuration but reduce current rating to 5A and operating temperature to -50°C to 100°C. The 172-E series (172-E15-213R001, 172-E15-213R011, 172-E15-213R021, 172-E15-213R031) are active production with ROHS3 compliance. Substitution is valid only for applications with current requirements of 5A or less.

Q: What is the impact of panel mount versus through-hole mounting? A: DAM15S300N is through-hole vertical mount. NorComp 172 series parts offer both panel mount and through-hole options. Panel mount variants require different PCB layout and mechanical integration. Verify mounting configuration compatibility with your application before substitution.

Q: How does RoHS compliance affect substitution decisions? A: DAM15S300N is RoHS non-compliant. All active production substitutes (DAM15S300, HARTING 09642127210/230/240, NorComp 172-E series) are ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use compliant alternatives. Obsolete NorComp 172-015 series parts are also ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What packaging options are available? A: DAM15S300N packaging is not specified. DAM15S300 is supplied in trays. HARTING parts are supplied in bulk. NorComp parts are supplied in trays. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: Can I use a substitute with lower current rating? A: Substitution with lower current rating is valid only if your application current requirements do not exceed the substitute part rating. DAM15S300N is rated 7.5A per contact. HARTING parts maintain 7.5A. NorComp parts reduce to 5A. Verify your application current draw before selecting a lower-rated substitute.
