Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the HDL15-SS-24 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Connector style and type: D-Sub high-density receptacle with female sockets
• Position and row configuration: 15 positions in 3 rows
• Shell size and layout: 1 (DE, E) high-density format
• Mounting configuration: Surface mount, right-angle orientation
• Termination method: Solder
• Electrical ratings: Minimum 5A current capacity and 300V voltage rating
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C minimum
• Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance

The substitute part 33DSMT1-E15SNCT meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 33DSMT1-E15SNCT from Amphenol CONEC is a qualified substitute for the obsolete HDL15-SS-24. Both connectors maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including current and voltage ratings, operating temperature range, and flammability compliance.

The primary distinction is product status: the HDL15-SS-24 is obsolete, while the 33DSMT1-E15SNCT maintains active production status, ensuring long-term supply availability. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, supporting equivalent environmental performance.

Shell finish differs between the two parts (nickel plated versus tin plated); however, both finishes provide equivalent corrosion resistance and contact reliability for the specified operating conditions. The gold-flashed contact finish is identical on both parts, ensuring consistent electrical performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 33DSMT1-E15SNCT directly replace the HDL15-SS-24 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical position counts, row configurations, shell sizes, mounting types, and electrical ratings. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all specified parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the shell finish difference (nickel plated versus tin plated)?

A: Both finishes provide equivalent corrosion protection and contact reliability within the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The choice between finishes does not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance for this application.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both connectors carry identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings, ROHS3 compliance status, and moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1, Unlimited). Environmental and regulatory compliance is equivalent.

Q: Why is product status relevant for component selection?

A: The HDL15-SS-24 is obsolete, meaning manufacturing has ceased and inventory is limited. The 33DSMT1-E15SNCT maintains active production status, ensuring reliable long-term availability for new production runs and field replacements.

Q: Are the packaging formats compatible with assembly processes?

A: The HDL15-SS-24 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 33DSMT1-E15SNCT is supplied in trays. Both formats are compatible with standard surface-mount assembly equipment and processes.
