DAMF15P300 D-Sub Plug 15 Position Vertical Solder Connector

Part Overview

The DAMF15P300 is a 15-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) in the DM HE501 series. This through-hole solder-terminated connector features male pins in a 2-row configuration with shell size 2 (DA, A) layout. The connector is rated for 7.5A at 300V and operates across -55°C to 125°C. Currently in active production status with 964 units in stock, this connector serves as a standard interface component in industrial and commercial applications. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when addressing supply chain constraints, design revisions requiring different flange configurations, or compliance requirement changes.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DAMF15P300 is determined by strict alignment of core electrical and mechanical parameters. All substitute parts must maintain:

15-position, 2-row D-Sub plug configuration with shell size 2 (DA, A)
Male pin connector type with through-hole solder termination
Brass contact material with gold finish
UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Thermoplastic or equivalent dielectric material

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on flange feature configuration:

Category A: Housing/Shell Unthreaded Flange — Parts 5747872-4 and 747872-4 maintain the original unthreaded shell design, suitable for applications requiring direct PCB mounting without fastening provisions.

Category B: Mating Side Female Screwlock (4-40) Flange — Parts 1-5747872-6, 1-747872-6, 5747872-8, 5748026-1, 747872-8, and 748026-1 incorporate mating-side screwlock provisions for enhanced mechanical retention during mating cycles.

Category C: Panel Mount Configuration — Parts 172-015-112R001 and 172-E15-113R911 feature panel mount through-hole mounting with board-side or dual-side locking provisions, suitable for front-panel applications.

Electrical parameter variations exist within acceptable substitution ranges: current ratings range from 5A to 6A (versus 7.5A original), and voltage ratings from 125V (versus 300V original). These reductions represent conservative design margins and do not preclude functional substitution in applications operating within the substitute part ratings.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of substitute parts for the DAMF15P300 must account for product status, regulatory compliance, and operational parameter derating.

For RoHS3 Compliance Requirements: Parts 1-5747872-6, 172-E15-113R911, 5747872-4, and 5748026-1 carry ROHS3 Compliant certification. These parts are suitable for applications subject to European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive 3 requirements. Part 5747872-8 carries RoHS Compliant status without ROHS3 designation.

For Active Production Status: Parts 1-5747872-6, 1-747872-6, 5747872-4, 5747872-8, 5748026-1, 747872-4, 747872-8, and 748026-1 maintain active product status. Part 172-015-112R001 is obsolete and should be avoided for new designs unless legacy compatibility is mandatory.

For Electrical Parameter Derating: All TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series substitutes (5747872 and 748026 base numbers) operate at 6A current rating and 125V voltage rating, representing a reduction from the original 7.5A/300V specification. Applications must confirm operation within these reduced ratings. NorComp 172 series parts operate at 5A current rating, requiring additional derating consideration.

For Temperature Range Considerations: The original DAMF15P300 operates to 125°C maximum. All substitute parts operate to 105°C maximum (TE Connectivity) or 100°C maximum (NorComp), representing a 20°C to 25°C reduction in upper temperature limit. Applications requiring operation above 105°C cannot use these substitutes.

For Flange Configuration Matching: Direct mechanical substitution requires flange feature alignment. Unthreaded housing flange parts (5747872-4, 747872-4, 172-015-112R001) replace the original unthreaded design. Screwlock flange parts (1-5747872-6, 5747872-8, 748026-1) require mating connector redesign to accommodate 4-40 screwlock provisions. Panel mount variants (172-E15-113R911) require front-panel mounting hole modifications.

For Supply Chain Optimization: Part 5748026-1 maintains the highest inventory level (64,520 units) with ROHS3 compliance and active status, representing optimal availability for high-volume applications within electrical parameter constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DAMF15P300 be directly replaced with 5747872-8 without PCB redesign?

A: Direct replacement is possible if the application operates within 6A current and 125V voltage ratings. The 5747872-8 features a 4-40 threaded housing flange, whereas the original DAMF15P300 has an unthreaded flange. If the mating connector does not provide 4-40 screwlock provisions, mechanical compatibility is compromised. For unthreaded flange compatibility, use 5747872-4 or 747872-4 instead.

Q: What is the impact of switching from yellow cadmium plating to tin plating on the shell?

A: Shell finish change from yellow cadmium to tin plating affects corrosion resistance characteristics and environmental compliance. Tin plating provides adequate corrosion protection in standard industrial environments. Yellow cadmium plating offers superior corrosion resistance in marine and high-humidity applications. Verify environmental exposure conditions before substitution.

Q: Are NorComp 172 series parts (172-E15-113R911, 172-015-112R001) electrically equivalent to TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE parts?

A: NorComp 172 series parts maintain 15-position, 2-row D-Sub plug configuration with identical shell size 2 (DA, A) layout and solder termination. However, current rating is 5A (versus 6A for TE Connectivity), and operating temperature maximum is 100°C (versus 105°C). These represent additional derating constraints. Electrical equivalence is conditional on application current and temperature requirements.

Q: Why does the original DAMF15P300 specify 300V while substitutes specify 125V?

A: Voltage rating differences reflect design margin variations between manufacturers. The 300V rating on DAMF15P300 indicates higher dielectric strength in the original design. Substitute parts rated at 125V provide adequate insulation for standard industrial signal applications. Applications requiring 300V dielectric strength cannot use 125V-rated substitutes.

Q: What is the significance of "Board Lock" and "Grounding Indents" features listed on some substitutes?

A: Board Lock features (present on 172-E15-113R911 and 5748026-1) provide mechanical retention to the PCB through board-side fastening provisions, preventing accidental connector withdrawal. Grounding Indents provide enhanced EMI shielding through improved ground plane contact. These are supplementary features not present on the original DAMF15P300 and do not affect basic electrical substitution eligibility.

Q: Can 172-015-112R001 (obsolete status) be used as a substitute?

A: Part 172-015-112R001 is classified as obsolete and should not be selected for new designs. Obsolete status indicates discontinued manufacturing and potential supply discontinuation. Use only if legacy system compatibility is mandatory and supply chain risk is acceptable.

Q: What packaging format differences exist among substitutes?

A: Substitute parts are supplied in Tube, Tray, or Bulk packaging. Tube packaging (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE series) provides standard component packaging for automated assembly. Tray packaging (NorComp 172 series, original DAMF15P300) suits manual assembly and lower-volume applications. Bulk packaging (TE Connectivity 747872 series) is used for high-volume procurement. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.
