Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the L17TF1510102 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: D-Sub Plug with male pins
• Position count: 15 positions in 2-row configuration
• Shell size and layout: Size 2 (DA, A)
• Mounting method: Through-hole installation
• Termination technology: Press-fit
• Flange configuration: Mating side female screwlock (4-40)
• Voltage rating: 300V minimum
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C
• Compliance: RoHS compliant, MSL Level 1

Acceptable Parameter Variations:

• Shell material finish: Steel with tin plating or tin-nickel plating
• Contact material: Brass or phosphor bronze
• Current rating: Equal to or greater than 3A per contact
• Dielectric material: Thermoplastic glass-filled or polybutylene terephthalate (PBT)
• Additional features: Board lock or grounding indents do not preclude substitution

The D15P91C4GV00LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on these criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection: L17TF1510102

The L17TF1510102 is the specified part number and remains the primary selection when available. This connector is actively manufactured, RoHS compliant, and carries MSL Level 1 rating. All electrical and mechanical parameters meet or exceed application requirements.

Substitute Selection: D15P91C4GV00LF

The D15P91C4GV00LF serves as a qualified substitute when L17TF1510102 availability is constrained. This part maintains identical mechanical compatibility and electrical performance characteristics. Key advantages of the substitute include:

• Higher current rating (5A per contact versus 3A per contact) provides additional design margin
• Tin-nickel plating on steel shell offers enhanced corrosion resistance compared to tin plating
• Phosphor bronze contact material provides improved spring characteristics and contact durability
• Board lock feature adds mechanical retention capability
• Both parts share identical voltage rating, temperature range, and compliance certifications

Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC divisions, ensuring consistent quality standards and manufacturing processes. The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in applications where the L17TF1510102 is specified, provided that design documentation permits component substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D15P91C4GV00LF be used as a direct replacement for L17TF1510102?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical interfaces (15-position, 2-row, Size 2 DA/A shell), mounting methods (through-hole), termination technology (press-fit), and flange configurations (mating side female screwlock 4-40). Electrical ratings are compatible, with the substitute providing higher current capacity (5A versus 3A per contact). Both maintain identical voltage rating (300V), temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and compliance certifications (RoHS, UL94 V-0, MSL Level 1).

Q: What are the material differences between these two connectors?

A: The L17TF1510102 features a steel shell with tin plating and brass contacts. The D15P91C4GV00LF features a steel shell with tin-nickel plating and phosphor bronze contacts. Both use gold flash contact finish. These material variations do not affect electrical compatibility or mechanical fit. Tin-nickel plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance, while phosphor bronze offers improved spring characteristics.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations?

A: The L17TF1510102 is available in tray packaging with 712 pieces in current inventory. The D15P91C4GV00LF is also available in tray packaging with 1728 pieces in current inventory. Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, requiring standard handling procedures.

Q: Do both connectors support the same current and voltage specifications?

A: Both connectors are rated for 300V operation. The L17TF1510102 is rated at 3A per contact, while the D15P91C4GV00LF is rated at 5A per contact. Applications designed for 3A per contact operation are fully compatible with the substitute part, which provides additional current capacity margin.

Q: What is the significance of the board lock feature on the substitute part?

A: The D15P91C4GV00LF includes a board lock feature that provides mechanical retention on printed circuit boards. The L17TF1510102 does not include this feature. The board lock does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and may provide additional mechanical stability in applications where vibration or mechanical stress is a consideration.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the L17TF1510102 and D15P91C4GV00LF are RoHS compliant. The substitute part additionally carries REACH Unaffected status. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity classification.
