FCE17A15SA2DB D-Sub Receptacle 15-Position Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCE17A15SA2DB is a 15-position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This connector features female sockets in a right-angle, through-hole solder configuration with a 2-row layout (Shell Size 2, DA/A). The part is actively produced and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for applications requiring standard D-Sub connectivity with solder termination.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part experiences supply constraints, extended lead times, or when design requirements permit functional alternatives that meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute parts listed maintain compatibility through matching connector style, position count, mounting type, and termination method.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are actively produced and maintain full compliance with applicable regulatory standards. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

HARTING 09682535613 and 09682537613: These parts offer enhanced current rating (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Both feature Board Lock functionality and Mating Side Female Screwlock (4-40) flange configuration. The 09682535613 specifies Gold or Gold-Palladium contact finish with 30.0µin thickness, while 09682537613 does not specify contact finish details. Both are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. These parts are suitable for applications requiring higher current capacity or broader temperature operation.

NorComp Inc. 182-015-213R531: This part maintains the 5A current rating and offers extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C). It features a Housing/Shell (4-40) flange configuration with Board Lock functionality and Nickel-plated steel shell. The part is packaged in trays and is ROHS3 Compliant with REACH Unaffected status. This option is suitable for applications requiring panel mount capability in addition to through-hole mounting.

Amphenol ICC (FCI) D15S33E4GV00LF: This part is from the Delta D series and maintains the 5A per contact current rating with extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). It features Mating Side Female Screwlock (4-40) flange configuration, Tin-Nickel plated steel shell, and includes both Board Lock and Mounting Brackets features. The part specifies 300V voltage rating and is RoHS Compliant. This option provides the broadest feature set and is suitable for applications requiring mounting bracket integration.

All substitute parts are RoHS/ROHS3 Compliant and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17A15SA2DB be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts maintain the mandatory matching parameters: 15-position D-Sub receptacle, female sockets, 2-row layout (Shell Size 2, DA/A), through-hole right-angle solder termination, and 0.318" backset spacing. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained across all substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between the two HARTING parts (09682535613 and 09682537613)?

A: Both HARTING parts share identical core specifications: 15-position D-Sub receptacle, 6.5A current rating, -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature, and Board Lock functionality. The primary difference is that 09682535613 specifies Gold or Gold-Palladium contact finish with 30.0µin thickness, while 09682537613 does not provide contact finish specifications. For applications with specific contact finish requirements, 09682535613 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Does the NorComp 182-015-213R531 offer panel mount capability?

A: Yes. The 182-015-213R531 is specified for Panel Mount, Through Hole, Right Angle mounting, whereas the other substitutes are specified for Through Hole, Right Angle only. This part is suitable for applications requiring both panel-mounted and through-hole installation options.

Q: What is the voltage rating difference between the main part and the Amphenol FCI substitute?

A: The FCE17A15SA2DB does not specify a voltage rating. The D15S33E4GV00LF specifies 300V voltage rating. This additional specification does not create incompatibility; it indicates the substitute part has been tested and rated for 300V operation, which is acceptable for applications operating at or below this voltage.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FCE17A15SA2DB is RoHS Compliant. The HARTING parts (09682535613, 09682537613) and NorComp 182-015-213R531 are ROHS3 Compliant. The Amphenol FCI D15S33E4GV00LF is RoHS Compliant. All parts meet or exceed the RoHS compliance requirements of the main part.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature ranges?

A: The FCE17A15SA2DB operates from -40°C ~ 85°C. All substitute parts extend this range: HARTING parts and Amphenol FCI part operate from -55°C ~ 125°C, while NorComp operates from -55°C ~ 105°C. For applications operating within the original -40°C ~ 85°C range, all substitutes are compatible. For applications requiring extended temperature operation, the HARTING and Amphenol FCI parts provide additional capability.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The FCE17A15SA2DB is supplied in unspecified packaging. Substitute parts are available in: Bulk (HARTING 09682535613, 09682537613) and Tray (NorComp 182-015-213R531, Amphenol FCI D15S33E4GV00LF). Packaging selection should align with procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Can I use the higher current-rated HARTING parts (6.5A) in place of the 5A-rated main part?

A: Yes. The HARTING parts with 6.5A current rating are fully compatible with applications designed for the 5A-rated FCE17A15SA2DB. Higher current rating indicates greater capacity and does not create incompatibility with lower-current applications.

Q: What is the significance of the Board Lock feature on substitute parts?

A: Board Lock is a mechanical feature present on three of the four substitute parts (HARTING 09682535613, HARTING 09682537613, NorComp 182-015-213R531) that provides additional mechanical retention on the PCB. The main part FCE17A15SA2DB does not specify this feature. The presence of Board Lock on substitutes does not create incompatibility; it provides enhanced mechanical stability for applications where this feature is beneficial.
