DAMO15P700M D-Sub Plug Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DAMO15P700M is a 15-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) in the DM series. This right-angle, through-hole solder connector is designed for signal applications requiring robust mechanical and electrical performance. The connector features a steel shell with yellow cadmium plating, gold-plated contacts, and operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 125°C with a current rating of 7.5A at 300V.

The part is currently active in production with 1086 units in stock. Finding equivalent or substitute connectors may be necessary due to supply chain considerations, specific application requirements, or design flexibility needs while maintaining functional compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DAMO15P700M is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 15-position D-Sub plug with male pins in a 2-row layout (Shell Size 2, DA/A)
• Mounting and Termination: Through-hole, right-angle solder connection
• Electrical Performance: Current rating and voltage rating must meet or exceed application requirements
• Environmental Compliance: Operating temperature range and flammability rating must be compatible with the application environment
• Contact and Shell Materials: Gold-plated contacts and plated steel shell ensure signal integrity and corrosion resistance

The substitute part 174-E15-113R001 (NorComp Inc., 174-E M Series) shares the same connector configuration, mounting style, and termination method. However, differences exist in current rating (5A vs. 7.5A), operating temperature range (-50°C to 100°C vs. -55°C to 125°C), shell finish (nickel vs. yellow cadmium), and RoHS compliance status. These differences must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DAMO15P700M and 174-E15-113R001 are active production connectors with UL94 V-0 flammability certification, confirming suitability for applications requiring flame-resistant materials.

The DAMO15P700M is RoHS non-compliant, while the 174-E15-113R001 is ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use the NorComp substitute.

The DAMO15P700M supports a higher current rating (7.5A) and wider operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) compared to the 174-E15-113R001 (5A, -50°C to 100°C). Applications requiring the full thermal or current performance envelope of the Amphenol ICC part cannot be substituted without performance degradation.

The shell finish differs between parts: yellow cadmium plating on the DAMO15P700M versus nickel plating on the 174-E15-113R001. Environmental exposure conditions and corrosion resistance requirements should guide this selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 174-E15-113R001 be used as a direct replacement for the DAMO15P700M?

A: Functional compatibility exists for the connector configuration, mounting style, and termination method. However, the substitute part has a lower current rating (5A vs. 7.5A) and narrower operating temperature range (-50°C to 100°C vs. -55°C to 125°C). Substitution is valid only if the application does not require the full performance specifications of the original part.

Q: What are the key differences in compliance between these parts?

A: The DAMO15P700M is RoHS non-compliant, while the 174-E15-113R001 is ROHS3 compliant. Applications subject to RoHS directives must use the NorComp part. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Q: How do the shell finishes affect connector performance?

A: The DAMO15P700M uses yellow cadmium plating, while the 174-E15-113R001 uses nickel plating. Both provide corrosion protection and electrical conductivity. Selection depends on environmental exposure, aesthetic requirements, and specific application standards.

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations?

A: The DAMO15P700M has 1086 units in stock (Tray packaging), while the 174-E15-113R001 has 1352 units in stock (Tray packaging). Both are available in standard tray packaging suitable for automated assembly.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference?

A: The DAMO15P700M has a backset spacing of 0.318" (8.08mm), while the 174-E15-113R001 has 0.370" (9.40mm). This difference affects the physical depth of the connector assembly and must be verified against PCB layout and mechanical clearance requirements.
