DAMM15SF D-Sub Receptacle Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DAMM15SF is a 15-position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by ITT Cannon, LLC, designed for panel mount, through-hole, right-angle solder termination applications. This connector features female sockets with a 2-row (DA, A) shell layout and is classified as an active product. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to inventory availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements such as RoHS compliance or operating temperature ranges.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DAMM15SF with equivalent D-Sub receptacle connectors is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector style: D-Sub
• Connector type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of positions: 15
• Number of rows: 2
• Shell size and layout: 2 (DA, A)
• Mounting type: Panel Mount, Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination method: Solder
• Contact type: Signal
• Contact finish: Gold
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Shell material and finish (different plating options acceptable)
• Contact finish thickness (within industry tolerance)
• Current rating (substitute must meet or exceed 7.5A requirement)
• Operating temperature range (substitute must support minimum -55°C ~ 150°C or equivalent)
• RoHS compliance status (may differ based on application requirements)
• Dielectric material composition (different formulations acceptable if electrical properties maintained)

The substitute part 3-106506-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, AMPLIMITE HD-20 series) meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as a direct equivalent for the DAMM15SF.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DAMM15SF (ITT Cannon, LLC):

• Active product status with 1048 units in stock
• RoHS non-compliant; suitable for applications without RoHS requirements
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 150°C
• Current rating: 7.5A
• Yellow chromate plated zinc shell finish

3-106506-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors):

• Active product status with 2768 units in stock
• RoHS compliant; suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 105°C
• Current rating: 6A
• Tin plated shell finish
• Board lock feature included
• AMPLIMITE HD-20 series designation

Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements. The DAMM15SF is appropriate for applications requiring the extended operating temperature range of 105°C to 150°C or the higher current rating of 7.5A. The 3-106506-2 is appropriate for applications requiring RoHS compliance or where the lower operating temperature ceiling and 6A current rating are acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3-106506-2 substitute for the DAMM15SF in all applications?

A: The 3-106506-2 is mechanically and electrically compatible as a direct substitute for the DAMM15SF in applications where the operating temperature does not exceed 105°C and the current requirement does not exceed 6A. Applications requiring operation above 105°C or currents exceeding 6A must use the DAMM15SF.

Q: What is the difference in shell material finish between these connectors?

A: The DAMM15SF features a yellow chromate plated zinc finish, while the 3-106506-2 features a tin plated finish. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and are suitable for standard environmental conditions. The choice between them depends on specific environmental exposure requirements and application standards.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution?

A: RoHS compliance is an allowable variation parameter. The 3-106506-2 is RoHS compliant, while the DAMM15SF is not. Selection depends on whether the application or end-use market requires RoHS compliance. Both connectors are functionally equivalent for electrical and mechanical purposes.

Q: What is the significance of the board lock feature on the 3-106506-2?

A: The board lock feature on the 3-106506-2 provides mechanical retention on the mating connector. This is an additional feature not present on the DAMM15SF and does not affect substitution compatibility.

Q: Are the contact finish thicknesses interchangeable?

A: Yes. The DAMM15SF has a contact finish thickness of 50.0µin (1.27µm), while the 3-106506-2 has 30.0µin (0.76µm). Both thicknesses meet industry standards for gold-plated contacts and are acceptable for signal-level D-Sub connectors.

Q: What packaging format is available for each part?

A: The DAMM15SF is supplied in standard packaging. The 3-106506-2 is supplied in tray packaging, which may affect handling and storage procedures.
