DAP15S565TLF D-Sub Receptacle Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DAP15S565TLF is a 15-position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) in the DP series. This through-hole, right-angle solder-terminated connector features female sockets with gold-plated copper alloy contacts rated for 7.5A per contact at 1000V. The connector is designed for signal applications requiring robust mechanical and electrical performance across industrial temperature ranges. As an active product with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating, the DAP15S565TLF remains in production. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the DAP15S565TLF is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: D-Sub receptacle with female sockets
• Position count: 15 positions
• Row configuration: 2 rows
• Shell size and layout: Size 2 (DA, A)
• Mounting orientation: Through-hole, right-angle
• Termination method: Solder

Electrical Performance Parameters:

• Current rating: Minimum 6A per contact (DAP15S565TLF rated 7.5A)
• Voltage rating: Minimum 125V (DAP15S565TLF rated 1000V)
• Contact finish: Gold plating with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Operating temperature range: Minimum -55°C to 105°C (DAP15S565TLF: -55°C to 125°C)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 5745396-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, AMPLIMITE HD-20 series) meets all mandatory matching parameters and maintains electrical performance within acceptable limits for signal-level D-Sub applications, with the exception of reduced current rating (6A vs. 7.5A) and lower voltage rating (125V vs. 1000V).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between DAP15S565TLF and 5745396-2 is determined by application electrical and thermal requirements:

Use DAP15S565TLF when:

• Application current requirements exceed 6A per contact
• Application voltage requirements exceed 125V
• Operating temperature must reach or exceed 105°C
• Unthreaded shell interface is required
• Amphenol ICC DP series qualification is specified

Use 5745396-2 when:

• Application current requirements are ≤6A per contact
• Application voltage requirements are ≤125V
• Operating temperature range is -55°C to 105°C
• Female screwlock (4-40) mating interface is compatible with system design
• TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series qualification is specified
• Procurement flexibility or inventory availability favors TE Connectivity supply

Both parts are RoHS compliant, active products with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), and maintain identical mechanical compatibility for 15-position, 2-row, size 2 D-Sub receptacle applications with through-hole, right-angle, solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5745396-2 be used as a direct replacement for DAP15S565TLF in all applications?

A: No. While both connectors share identical mechanical form factor (15-position, 2-row, size 2 D-Sub receptacle with through-hole right-angle solder termination), the 5745396-2 has reduced electrical ratings. It is suitable only for applications with current ≤6A per contact, voltage ≤125V, and operating temperature ≤105°C. Applications requiring the full 7.5A, 1000V, or -55°C to 125°C performance of the DAP15S565TLF must use the original part.

Q: What is the difference in the flange feature between these two connectors?

A: The DAP15S565TLF features an unthreaded housing/shell flange, while the 5745396-2 includes a female screwlock (4-40) on the mating side. This mechanical difference affects the mating interface design. Systems designed for unthreaded shells cannot accommodate the screwlock feature without mechanical modification.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both DAP15S565TLF and 5745396-2 are RoHS compliant and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, making them suitable for standard PCB assembly and storage conditions without special handling.

Q: What is the backset spacing difference, and does it affect compatibility?

A: The DAP15S565TLF has a backset spacing of 0.406" (10.30mm), while the 5745396-2 has 0.318" (8.08mm). This difference reflects different internal contact positioning within the connector shell. Both maintain the same 15-position, 2-row, size 2 D-Sub layout and are mechanically compatible with standard D-Sub plug connectors designed for this shell size.

Q: Can I use 5745396-2 in a high-temperature application requiring 120°C operation?

A: No. The 5745396-2 operating temperature range is -55°C to 105°C. Applications requiring sustained operation at 120°C must use the DAP15S565TLF, which is rated to 125°C.

Q: What contact materials are used in each connector?

A: The DAP15S565TLF uses copper alloy contacts with gold plating (GXT™ finish). The 5745396-2 uses phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating. Both maintain 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold finish thickness for signal-level applications.
