Equivalent & Substitute Parts for DA-U15P D-Sub Connector

Part Overview

The DA-U15P from Cinch Connectivity Solutions is a 15-position D-Sub plug, featuring male pins, gold flash contact finish, steel shell with yellow chromate plated zinc, and crimp termination. Product status is discontinued at Digi-Key, while there remain units in stock. For ongoing production, service, and repair applications, it is necessary to identify electrically and mechanically equivalent alternative model numbers from the D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors category, focusing on strict compliance with specified connector style, termination method, pin count, shell size, and other directly provided parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution is strictly determined by identical or directly matching mechanical and electrical parameters as listed. Key criteria for permissible substitution are: D-Sub connector style, plug/male pin type, 15 positions in 2 rows, shell size/layout 2 (DA, A), crimp termination, housing/shell with unthreaded flange, steel shell with yellow chromate plated zinc, gold contact finish, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, machined copper alloy contacts, operating temperature within the defined range, and identical or compatible compliance statuses including RoHS and REACH. Only connectors matching every listed parameter are included in the substitute group.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between DA-U15P and M24308/4-2Z should be based on product status, compliance, and certifications. DA-U15P is discontinued at Digi-Key; M24308/4-2Z is active. Both are RoHS non-compliant and carry MSL level 1 (Unlimited). REACH status differs: DA-U15P is REACH Unaffected, M24308/4-2Z is REACH Affected. Consider regulatory requirements and required product status when selecting substitute parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What determines a valid substitute for DA-U15P D-Sub Connectors?
Compatibility is established based on identical connector style, pin count, shell size, termination method, contact and shell material, flammability rating, and compliance status.

Q2: Is pinout or mounting type critical for substitution?
Pin count and shell size/layout are strictly matched. Mounting type differs (Free Hanging vs. Panel Mount), which must align with application requirements.

Q3: Are compliance and certification statuses important in selection?
Yes. Both DA-U15P and M24308/4-2Z are RoHS non-compliant. REACH status differs and must be considered based on end-use regulations.

Q4: Does packaging affect electrical or mechanical compatibility?
No. Packaging format (Bulk vs. Tray) does not affect connector fit or function.

Q5: Is operating temperature range matched?
Both connectors support function across a similar operating temperature range, with overlapping minimum and identical maximum ratings as specified.
