DAM15S343 D-Sub Receptacle 15-Position Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DAM15S343 is a 15-position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) in the DM HE501 series. This through-hole solder-terminated connector features female sockets with a 2-row (DA, A) shell layout and is designed for harsh environment applications with UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The part is currently active in production with 707 units in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the original DAM15S343 becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required for manufacturing processes, or when design requirements permit substitution based on compatible electrical and mechanical parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DAM15S343 is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

Connector type: Receptacle with female sockets
Position count: 15 positions
Row configuration: 2 rows
Shell size and layout: 2 (DA, A)
Mounting method: Through hole
Termination: Solder
Contact material: Phosphor bronze with gold finish
Dielectric material: Thermoplastic or polyester variants
Flammability: UL94 V-0
Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors (AMPLIMITE HD-20 and HDP-20 series) meet these core requirements. Variations in packaging format (tray, tube, bulk), shell finish (tin vs. cadmium plating), flange feature design, and RoHS compliance status do not affect functional interchangeability when electrical and mechanical parameters remain equivalent.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain functional equivalence to the DAM15S343 across core electrical and mechanical parameters: 15-position receptacle configuration, 2-row DA/A shell layout, through-hole solder termination, phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Substitutes from the TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 and HDP-20 series are active production parts with higher inventory availability than the original DAM15S343. Selection among substitutes should be based on:

RoHS Compliance Requirements: Parts 1-338314-2, 1-5747299-4, 1-5747299-6, 2-338314-2, 2-5747707-0, 3-338314-2, and 5-338314-2 carry RoHS compliance certifications (ROHS3 or Compliant status). Parts 1-747299-4, 1-747299-6, and 2-747707-0 are RoHS non-compliant, matching the original DAM15S343 status.

Temperature Operating Range: The DAM15S343 operates to 125°C; all substitute parts operate to 105°C maximum. Applications requiring operation above 105°C require the original part.

Voltage Rating: The DAM15S343 is rated 300V; substitute parts are rated 125V or unspecified. Applications exceeding 125V require the original part.

Current Rating: The DAM15S343 is rated 7.5A per contact; substitute parts are rated 6A per contact. Applications requiring current above 6A per contact require the original part.

Packaging Format: Tube, tray, and bulk packaging options are available. Selection depends on manufacturing process requirements and inventory management practices.

Shell Finish: The original part features yellow cadmium plating; all substitutes feature tin plating. Both finishes provide corrosion protection; tin plating is preferred in modern applications due to environmental and health considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute a TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE part for the Amphenol ICC DAM15S343?

A: Yes, when the substitute meets the core parameter requirements: 15-position receptacle, 2-row DA/A layout, through-hole solder termination, phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish, and UL94 V-0 rating. All listed TE Connectivity parts meet these criteria. However, verify that your application does not exceed the substitute's current (6A vs. 7.5A), voltage (125V vs. 300V), or temperature (105°C vs. 125°C) limits.

Q: What is the difference between the various TE Connectivity part numbers listed?

A: The differences are in packaging format (tray, tube, bulk), flange feature design (housing/shell vs. mating side screwlock), shell finish (tin plating), dielectric material (polyester vs. thermoplastic), and RoHS compliance status. The core connector function and electrical performance remain equivalent across all variants.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. Packaging format (tray, tube, bulk) affects only handling, storage, and manufacturing process compatibility. It does not alter electrical or mechanical performance. Select packaging based on your assembly process requirements.

Q: Are tin-plated substitutes equivalent to the cadmium-plated original?

A: Yes, for functional purposes. Both finishes provide corrosion protection and maintain contact integrity. Tin plating is the modern standard and is preferred in applications where cadmium exposure is a concern. No performance difference exists between the two finishes in normal operating conditions.

Q: What if my application requires operation above 105°C or 125V?

A: The DAM15S343 original part is required. No listed substitute meets these extended specifications. The original part's 125°C operating temperature and 300V voltage rating are not matched by the AMPLIMITE substitutes.

Q: Can I use a substitute if my design is RoHS-compliant?

A: Yes. Parts 1-338314-2, 1-5747299-4, 1-5747299-6, 2-338314-2, 2-5747707-0, 3-338314-2, and 5-338314-2 carry RoHS compliance certifications. If your design requires RoHS non-compliance matching, parts 1-747299-4, 1-747299-6, and 2-747707-0 are available.

Q: Which substitute has the highest inventory availability?

A: Part 1-5747299-4 has 5901 units in stock, the highest among all listed substitutes. This part is packaged in tubes and carries RoHS compliance certification.
