DAMM15PHA101 D-Sub Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DAMM15PHA101 is a 15-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by ITT Cannon, LLC, featuring male pins, panel mount through-hole termination, and solder connectivity. This connector is classified as Active product status and is designed for signal applications in industrial and aerospace environments.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, inventory constraints occur, or when design requirements permit alternative manufacturers meeting equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute parts listed maintain functional compatibility through matching connector geometry, pin configuration, termination method, and core electrical ratings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: D-Sub
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 15
• Number of Rows: 2
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 2 (DA, A)
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Type: Signal

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Current Rating: Must meet or exceed 7.5A requirement
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -55°C to 150°C or provide documented derating
• Contact Finish: Gold plating required for signal integrity
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 compliance required

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Through Hole configuration
• Shell Material: Steel construction
• Contact Material: Copper Alloy or Brass acceptable for signal applications

All four substitute parts meet these mandatory criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the DAMM15PHA101 in standard applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Active Status, Highest Compatibility):

M24308/24-2F and M24308/24-8F (TE Connectivity Aerospace, Defense and Marine) are the preferred substitutes. Both parts maintain Active product status, matching the DAMM15PHA101 across all mandatory mechanical and electrical parameters. Contact finish thickness specification (50.0µin) aligns with the primary part. Operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) covers the lower end of the DAMM15PHA101 specification; applications requiring operation above 125°C require design review. Both parts comply with MIL-DTL-24308 military standard specification, providing additional qualification assurance for aerospace and defense applications.

Secondary Substitute (Active Status, Current Rating Limitation):

627-015-220-047 (Mercury United Electronics, Inc.) maintains Active status and meets all mandatory connector geometry and termination requirements. Current rating specification (3A per contact) is lower than the DAMM15PHA101 (7.5A). This part is suitable for signal applications with current requirements not exceeding 3A per contact. Operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C) is narrower than the primary part; applications requiring sustained operation above 85°C require design verification.

Obsolete Substitute (Not Recommended for New Designs):

172-015-112R911 (NorComp Inc.) is classified as Obsolete product status. While ROHS3 compliant and mechanically compatible, obsolete classification indicates discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. Current rating (5A) and operating temperature range (-50°C to 100°C) are both constrained relative to the DAMM15PHA101. This part is suitable only for legacy system maintenance where inventory exists.

RoHS Compliance Consideration:

The DAMM15PHA101 is RoHS non-compliant due to cadmium plating. If RoHS3 compliance is a design requirement, 172-015-112R911 or 627-015-220-047 provide compliant alternatives, with the caveat that 172-015-112R911 is obsolete and 627-015-220-047 has reduced current rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can M24308/24-2F and M24308/24-8F be used interchangeably with DAMM15PHA101?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent for standard signal applications. Both maintain the required 15-position, 2-row D-Sub configuration with solder termination and gold-plated contacts. Operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) covers the DAMM15PHA101 specification to 125°C; applications requiring operation above 125°C require thermal analysis.

Q: What is the current rating limitation for 627-015-220-047?

A: 627-015-220-047 is rated at 3A per contact, compared to DAMM15PHA101 at 7.5A. This part is suitable for signal applications where individual contact current does not exceed 3A. High-current applications require the primary part or M24308/24 series substitutes.

Q: Is 172-015-112R911 suitable for new product designs?

A: No. 172-015-112R911 is classified as Obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing. This part is appropriate only for legacy system maintenance or repair where existing inventory is available. New designs should specify M24308/24-2F, M24308/24-8F, or 627-015-220-047.

Q: What are the packaging differences among substitute parts?

A: DAMM15PHA101 packaging is not specified. 172-015-112R911 is supplied in Tray packaging. 627-015-220-047, M24308/24-2F, and M24308/24-8F are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; selection depends on procurement and inventory management requirements.

Q: Does contact finish thickness affect substitution eligibility?

A: Contact finish thickness is a quality and durability specification. DAMM15PHA101, M24308/24-2F, and M24308/24-8F specify 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold plating. 172-015-112R911 and 627-015-220-047 specify Flash gold plating. Flash plating provides adequate signal integrity for standard applications; applications requiring extended contact life or high-cycle mating should specify 50.0µin thickness.

Q: Are the TE Connectivity M24308/24 variants (2F and 8F) functionally different?

A: M24308/24-2F and M24308/24-8F are electrically and mechanically identical across all provided specifications. Both are MIL-DTL-24308 compliant with identical current rating (5A), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and contact specifications. Part number suffix variation reflects internal TE Connectivity manufacturing or configuration designation; no functional difference exists for substitution purposes.
