Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the L17HTNAHPOL2RM81C with the D15P24A4GV00LF is permissible based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Connector style: Both are D-Sub connectors
• Connector type: Both are plug connectors with male pins
• Number of positions: Both feature 15 positions
• Number of rows: Both are configured in 2 rows
• Shell size and layout: Both use size 2 (DA, A)
• Mounting type: Both are through-hole mounted
• Termination method: Both use solder termination
• Flange feature: Both include mating-side female screwlock (4-40)
• Contact type: Both are signal contacts
• Current rating: Both support 5A per contact
• Material flammability: Both meet UL94 V-0
• RoHS compliance: Both are RoHS compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: Both are MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Color: Both are black

Differing Parameters (Design Consideration Required):

• Voltage rating: Main part rated 600V; substitute rated 300V
• Operating temperature maximum: Main part rated to 150°C; substitute rated to 125°C
• Shell material finish: Main part uses steel with nickel plating; substitute uses steel with tin-nickel plating
• Contact material: Main part uses copper alloy; substitute uses phosphor bronze
• Dielectric material: Main part uses thermoplastic glass-filled; substitute uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT)

Substitution is valid when the application voltage requirement does not exceed 300V and the maximum operating temperature does not exceed 125°C.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the L17HTNAHPOL2RM81C and D15P24A4GV00LF maintain Active product status and are RoHS compliant with identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence for general applications.

Selection Criteria:

The L17HTNAHPOL2RM81C is the primary selection when applications require:

• Operating voltages up to 600V
• Maximum operating temperatures up to 150°C
• Copper alloy contact material specifications

The D15P24A4GV00LF is a valid substitute when:

• Application voltage does not exceed 300V
• Maximum operating temperature does not exceed 125°C
• Phosphor bronze contact material is acceptable
• Tin-nickel plated shell finish is compatible with the application environment

Both connectors support identical current ratings (5A per contact), feature identical mechanical configurations (15-position, 2-row, size 2 DA/A layout), and share identical flange screwlock specifications (4-40 female). Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1).

The D15P24A4GV00LF offers higher inventory availability (1867 pieces versus 766 pieces), which may support procurement timelines when voltage and temperature constraints are satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the D15P24A4GV00LF replace the L17HTNAHPOL2RM81C in all applications?

A: No. The substitute part is limited to applications with maximum operating voltages of 300V and maximum temperatures of 125°C. The main part supports 600V and 150°C operation. Verify application requirements before substitution.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions and pin configurations identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature 15 positions in a 2-row configuration with size 2 (DA, A) shell layout. Both use through-hole solder termination with identical mating-side female screwlock (4-40) flanges. Mechanical interchangeability is confirmed for PCB mounting.

Q: What is the difference in contact material between these connectors?

A: The L17HTNAHPOL2RM81C uses copper alloy contacts, while the D15P24A4GV00LF uses phosphor bronze contacts. Both materials support 5A current ratings and feature gold flash plating. Contact material selection depends on application-specific corrosion resistance and spring force requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both connectors are RoHS compliant, carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, and meet UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Both maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels.

Q: What is the difference in shell plating between these parts?

A: The L17HTNAHPOL2RM81C features nickel-plated steel shells, while the D15P24A4GV00LF features tin-nickel plated steel shells. Both finishes provide corrosion protection; selection depends on environmental exposure and application-specific material compatibility requirements.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: Yes. The D15P24A4GV00LF has higher current inventory (1867 pieces) compared to the L17HTNAHPOL2RM81C (766 pieces). When application parameters permit substitution, the higher inventory availability may support procurement schedules.

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature difference between these connectors?

A: The L17HTNAHPOL2RM81C operates to 150°C maximum, while the D15P24A4GV00LF operates to 125°C maximum. Both support the full -55°C minimum temperature. Applications requiring operation above 125°C require the main part.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably on the same PCB assembly?

A: Mechanical interchangeability is confirmed for PCB mounting. However, electrical parameter differences (voltage rating and temperature rating) must be evaluated against application requirements. Substitution is valid only when application constraints fall within the substitute part's specifications.
