DBME25SP D-Sub Receptacle Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DBME25SP 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 (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 available in high inventory volume (747 pcs new original in stock).

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part's core specifications, enabling direct functional replacement in applications where the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DBME25SP is determined by strict alignment of the following core parameters:

  • Connector type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
  • Position count: 25 positions
  • Row configuration: 2 rows
  • Shell size and layout: 3 (DB, B)
  • Mounting configuration: Panel Mount, Through Hole, Right Angle
  • Termination method: Solder
  • Flammability rating: UL94 V-0

The substitute part 1-106507-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, AMPLIMITE HD-20 series) satisfies all core substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical connector style, position count, row configuration, shell size, mounting type, and termination method. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and operate within overlapping temperature ranges.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the DBME25SP and 1-106507-2 maintain active product status and share identical core mechanical and electrical connector specifications (25 positions, 2 rows, DB shell size, panel mount right-angle solder termination, UL94 V-0 flammability rating).

The substitute part 1-106507-2 offers ROHS3 compliance, whereas the DBME25SP is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements.

Selection between these parts requires evaluation of the following application-specific parameters:

  • Current requirements: DBME25SP is rated 7.5A; 1-106507-2 is rated 6A
  • Maximum operating temperature: DBME25SP operates to 125°C; 1-106507-2 operates to 105°C
  • Environmental corrosion resistance: DBME25SP features yellow chromate plated zinc finish; 1-106507-2 features tin plated finish
  • Regulatory compliance: 1-106507-2 meets ROHS3; DBME25SP does not

Both connectors are suitable for direct mechanical and electrical substitution when application parameters fall within the lower-rated substitute's specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-106507-2 directly replace DBME25SP in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible when application current requirements do not exceed 6A and maximum operating temperature does not exceed 105°C. The connectors share identical mechanical mounting, pin count, shell size, and termination method. Verify that your application parameters fall within the substitute's electrical and thermal ratings.

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

A: DBME25SP features a yellow chromate plated zinc finish, while 1-106507-2 features a tin plated finish. Yellow chromate plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance in certain environments. Tin plating offers different corrosion characteristics. Select based on your specific environmental exposure conditions.

Q: Does the substitute part meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. 1-106507-2 is ROHS3 compliant. DBME25SP is RoHS non-compliant. If your application or supply chain requires RoHS compliance, 1-106507-2 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are the contact materials interchangeable?

A: DBME25SP uses copper alloy contacts; 1-106507-2 uses phosphor bronze contacts. Both materials are suitable for D-Sub connector applications and provide gold plating for signal integrity. Contact material differences do not prevent functional substitution in standard signal applications.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: DBME25SP packaging is not specified in available documentation. 1-106507-2 is supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement process.

Q: Can I use 1-106507-2 in applications requiring operation above 105°C?

A: No. 1-106507-2 is rated for -55°C to 105°C maximum operating temperature. DBME25SP is rated to 125°C. For applications requiring operation above 105°C, DBME25SP is the required selection.
