DBME25SF D-Sub Receptacle Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DBME25SF is a 25-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 DB shell size (3) and is rated for 7.5A continuous current operation across an operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The connector maintains Active product status and is currently in stock with 1063 units available. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to component availability, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements for RoHS compliance or alternative material specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The DBME25SF can be substituted with equivalent D-Sub receptacle connectors that maintain the following critical parameters:

• 25-position configuration with 2-row layout
• DB shell size (3) connector geometry
• Receptacle, female socket contact configuration
• Panel mount, through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Solder termination capability
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Gold contact finish
• Operating temperature range of -55°C minimum to 105°C minimum

The substitute part 1-106507-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, AMPLIMITE HD-20 series) meets these core substitution criteria. Differences in current rating, shell material finish, dielectric material composition, and RoHS compliance status represent secondary variations that must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DBME25SF and 1-106507-2 maintain Active product status and are currently in stock. The DBME25SF is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and maximum current capacity of 7.5A is required across the full operating temperature range to 125°C. The 1-106507-2 is appropriate for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance, with the trade-off of reduced current rating (6A) and lower maximum operating temperature (105°C). The substitute part includes Board Lock features and specified contact finish thickness (30.0µin), providing additional mechanical retention and defined contact durability specifications. Selection between these parts depends on compliance requirements, thermal operating conditions, and current load specifications of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-106507-2 be used as a direct replacement for the DBME25SF?

A: The 1-106507-2 is mechanically and electrically compatible for most applications due to matching connector geometry (25-position, DB shell size 3), mounting configuration (panel mount, through-hole, right-angle), and termination method (solder). However, the reduced current rating (6A versus 7.5A) and lower maximum operating temperature (105°C versus 125°C) must be verified against application requirements before substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: Primary differences include current rating capacity, maximum operating temperature, shell material finish (yellow chromate plated zinc versus tin plated), dielectric material composition (PCT versus polyester glass-filled), contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), and RoHS compliance status. The 1-106507-2 includes Board Lock features and specified contact finish thickness not listed for the DBME25SF.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The DBME25SF packaging is not specified in available data. The 1-106507-2 is supplied in Tray packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed with suppliers based on procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Which connector should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: The DBME25SF supports operating temperatures to 125°C, making it suitable for applications requiring maximum thermal performance. The 1-106507-2 is rated to 105°C maximum and should not be used in applications exceeding this temperature.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect connector performance?

A: RoHS compliance status reflects manufacturing process and material composition but does not inherently affect electrical or mechanical performance. The DBME25SF is RoHS non-compliant, while the 1-106507-2 is ROHS3 compliant. Selection depends on regulatory requirements of the target application or end market.
