L717DA15P1BPN D-Sub Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The L717DA15P1BPN is a 15-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) with right-angle solder termination and through-hole mounting. This connector is classified as an active product and is designed for signal applications requiring robust mechanical and electrical performance in industrial environments.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent connectors share the same functional specifications, including connector style, position count, mounting type, and electrical ratings. Alternative models may be necessary due to inventory availability, specific compliance requirements, or packaging preferences while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the L717DA15P1BPN are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: D-Sub
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 15
• Number of Rows: 2
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 2 (DA, A)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Current Rating: 7.5A
• Voltage Rating: 300V
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Contact Material: Brass
• Contact Type: Signal
• Flange Feature: Housing/Shell (Unthreaded)

The substitute part DAM15P743M meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as an equivalent substitute for the L717DA15P1BPN. Variations in shell material finish, contact finish thickness, backset spacing, and compliance certifications do not preclude substitution when the core functional and electrical specifications remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

L717DA15P1BPN Selection Criteria:

The L717DA15P1BPN is the primary specification when RoHS compliance is a mandatory requirement. This part carries active product status and RoHS compliant certification, making it suitable for applications subject to European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. The tin-plated steel shell provides corrosion resistance appropriate for commercial and industrial environments. This part is recommended for new designs and applications where regulatory compliance documentation is required.

DAM15P743M Selection Criteria:

The DAM15P743M is functionally equivalent for applications where RoHS compliance is not required. This part carries active product status and is classified as RoHS non-compliant. The yellow cadmium-plated steel shell offers enhanced corrosion resistance in harsh environmental conditions. This part is suitable for legacy system maintenance, replacement in existing installations, or applications operating outside RoHS-regulated markets. The higher inventory availability (1071 pieces versus 623 pieces) may support expedited procurement timelines.

Compliance Considerations:

Selection between these parts must account for end-application regulatory requirements. The L717DA15P1BPN is mandatory for applications subject to RoHS directives. The DAM15P743M is appropriate only when RoHS compliance is not a design constraint. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and functional specifications within their respective compliance frameworks.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are L717DA15P1BPN and DAM15P743M mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical shell size (2 DA/A), position count (15), row configuration (2), mounting type (through-hole right angle), and termination method (solder). Physical mounting and mating characteristics are equivalent.

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

A: The L717DA15P1BPN features a tin-plated steel shell, while the DAM15P743M features a yellow cadmium-plated steel shell. Both finishes provide corrosion protection; cadmium plating offers enhanced performance in harsh environments, while tin plating is suitable for standard commercial applications.

Q: Can DAM15P743M be used as a substitute in RoHS-compliant applications?

A: No. The DAM15P743M is classified as RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must use the L717DA15P1BPN. Substitution is not permitted when regulatory compliance is a design requirement.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these connectors?

A: Yes. Both parts carry identical current ratings (7.5A), voltage ratings (300V), operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C), and contact material specifications (brass with gold finish).

Q: What is the difference in backset spacing?

A: The L717DA15P1BPN has a backset spacing of 0.406" (10.30mm), while the DAM15P743M has a backset spacing of 0.318" (8.08mm). This difference does not affect mating compatibility but may influence PCB layout considerations in specific applications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new product designs?

A: The L717DA15P1BPN is recommended for new designs due to its active product status and RoHS compliance certification. This ensures long-term availability and regulatory alignment with current market standards.

Q: Is packaging type a factor in substitution decisions?

A: Packaging type (bulk versus tray) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The L717DA15P1BPN is supplied in standard packaging, while the DAM15P743M is supplied in tray packaging. Selection should be based on procurement and assembly process requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for harsh environment applications?

A: The DAM15P743M is specifically rated for harsh environment ingress protection. The L717DA15P1BPN does not carry a specific harsh environment rating. For applications requiring enhanced environmental protection, the DAM15P743M is the appropriate selection, provided RoHS compliance is not required.
