Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCE17A15PA2DB is determined by strict alignment of the following core parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: D-Sub
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 15
• Number of Rows: 2

• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Backset Spacing: 0.318" (8.08mm)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Flange Feature (Housing/Shell unthreaded, Mating Side Female Screwlock, Housing/Shell 4-40)
• Shell Material Finish (Tin Plated, Nickel Plated, Tin-Nickel Plated)
• Contact Finish (Gold, Gold-Palladium, Gold with GXT™)
• Contact Finish Thickness (Flash, 15.0µin, 30.0µin)
• Current Rating (5A to 6.5A per contact)
• Operating Temperature Range (may extend beyond -40°C ~ 85°C)
• Dielectric Material (Thermoplastic Glass Filled, PBT, Polyamide PA9T)
• Contact Material (Phosphor Bronze, Copper Alloy, Brass)
• Compliance Status (RoHS Compliant, ROHS3 Compliant)

All substitute parts listed maintain identical mechanical interface dimensions, electrical signal contact configuration, and solder termination compatibility with the FCE17A15PA2DB.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Identical Operating Temperature Range):

The NorComp Inc. series 182 parts (182-015-113R161, 182-015-113R181, 182-015-113R531) provide direct functional equivalence with ROHS3 compliance certification. These parts maintain the 5A current rating and support the -40°C to 85°C operating window of the FCE17A15PA2DB. Selection among these three variants depends on flange feature requirements: unthreaded housing (R161), mating side female screwlock (R181), or housing-mounted 4-40 (R531).

Extended Temperature Range Substitutes:

The Amphenol ICC Delta D series (D15P33E4GV00LF, D15P33E4GX00LF, D15P33E6GV00LF, D15P33E6GX00LF) and HARTING parts (09682635813, 09682637813) extend the operating temperature range to -55°C ~ 125°C. These are suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance beyond the original specification. The Delta D series maintains RoHS or ROHS3 compliance and includes 300V voltage rating specification. HARTING variants support 6.5A current rating, providing additional current capacity margin.

Compliance Considerations:

All listed substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The original FCE17A15PA2DB carries RoHS Compliant status. Substitute parts are available in both RoHS Compliant (Amphenol ICC Delta D E4 variants) and ROHS3 Compliant (NorComp series 182, HARTING, Amphenol ICC Delta D E6 variants) designations. Application requirements for specific compliance generations should determine final selection.

Inventory Availability:

The NorComp 182-015-113R531 variant offers the highest current inventory level (3,693 units), followed by D15P33E4GV00LF (4,033 units). These represent optimal choices for immediate procurement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute the FCE17A15PA2DB with any 15-position D-Sub connector?

A: No. Substitution requires exact matching of connector style (D-Sub), type (Plug, Male Pins), position count (15), row configuration (2 rows), shell size (2/DA-A), mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), termination method (Solder), and backset spacing (0.318"/8.08mm). All listed substitutes meet these criteria; other 15-position D-Sub connectors may not.

Q: What is the difference between the NorComp 182-015-113R161, R181, and R531 variants?

A: These three parts differ only in flange feature configuration. The R161 has an unthreaded housing/shell flange. The R181 features a mating side female screwlock (4-40). The R531 has a housing-mounted 4-40 flange. All three maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications otherwise. Selection depends on the mechanical mounting interface required in your application.

Q: Why do some substitute parts have higher current ratings (6.5A vs 5A)?

A: The HARTING parts (09682635813, 09682637813) are rated for 6.5A per contact, compared to the 5A rating of the FCE17A15PA2DB. This represents a higher current capacity margin and does not prevent substitution. Applications designed for 5A operation remain fully compatible with 6.5A-rated parts.

Q: Can I use the Delta D series (D15P33) connectors if my application operates at -40°C to 85°C?

A: Yes. The Delta D series supports -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature, which encompasses the -40°C to 85°C range. Extended temperature capability does not restrict use in narrower temperature windows. The Delta D series is fully compatible with applications limited to the original temperature specification.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant status?

A: RoHS Compliant refers to the original Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive compliance. ROHS3 Compliant indicates compliance with the updated directive (2011/65/EU as amended). Both designations confirm absence of restricted substances. Application regulatory requirements determine which compliance generation is necessary.

Q: Are the contact finish variations (Gold, Gold-Palladium, Gold with GXT™) interchangeable?

A: Yes. All listed contact finish options provide equivalent electrical performance for signal transmission applications. The variations represent different manufacturing processes and durability characteristics. Selection should align with application environmental exposure and mating cycle requirements, but electrical substitution is valid across all variants.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitute parts?

A: The FCE17A15PA2DB is supplied in standard packaging. Substitute parts are available in Bulk packaging (HARTING variants), Tray packaging (NorComp series 182, Amphenol ICC Delta D series). Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it addresses only handling and storage logistics.

Q: Can I mix substitute parts from different manufacturers in the same assembly?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes maintain identical mechanical interface dimensions (backset spacing 0.318"/8.08mm), electrical contact configuration (15 positions, 2 rows), and solder termination compatibility. Parts from Amphenol ICC, HARTING, and NorComp Inc. can be used interchangeably within the same design without modification.
