L717DA15PAM4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The L717DA15PAM4 is a 15-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC with right-angle solder termination and through-hole mounting. This connector is designed for signal applications requiring a 2-row D-Sub configuration with male pins in shell size 2 (DA, A). The part is currently active in production with 931 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when design requirements permit functional alternatives within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the L717DA15PAM4 is determined by strict alignment 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 and layout: 2 (DA, A)
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination method: Solder
• Contact type: Signal
• Contact material: Brass
• Contact finish: Gold
• Color: Black

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Flange feature design (unthreaded vs. threaded housing)
• Shell material and finish (provided gold contact finish is maintained)
• Operating temperature range (substitute may have narrower range)
• Voltage rating (substitute may have lower rating if application permits)
• Current rating (substitute may have lower rating if application permits)
• Contact finish thickness (variation permitted within industry standards)
• Backset spacing (minor tolerance variation within 0.001" acceptable)

The substitute part 5748904-1 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as a functional equivalent for the L717DA15PAM4.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the L717DA15PAM4 and 5748904-1 are active production parts with RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific electrical requirements and mechanical constraints.

L717DA15PAM4 (Amphenol ICC):

• Suitable for applications requiring 300V voltage rating and 7.5A current capacity
• Operating temperature range extends to 125°C
• Unthreaded housing design
• 931 units currently in stock

5748904-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors):

• Suitable for applications with maximum voltage requirement of 125V
• Operating temperature range to 105°C
• Threaded housing design (4-40) with Board Lock feature
• 1986 units currently in stock
• Higher gold contact finish thickness (30.0µin vs. 8.00µin)

Selection of the substitute part 5748904-1 is permissible only when the application voltage requirement does not exceed 125V and the maximum operating temperature does not exceed 105°C. The threaded flange design of the substitute part provides additional mechanical retention through board-level fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5748904-1 be used as a direct replacement for the L717DA15PAM4?

A: The 5748904-1 is a functional equivalent for applications where the voltage requirement does not exceed 125V and the operating temperature does not exceed 105°C. Both connectors share identical connector style, type, position count, row configuration, shell size, mounting type, and termination method. The primary differences are in voltage rating, maximum operating temperature, and flange design. Verify application requirements before substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between these two D-Sub connectors?

A: The L717DA15PAM4 has a 300V voltage rating and 125°C maximum operating temperature with an unthreaded housing. The 5748904-1 has a 125V voltage rating and 105°C maximum operating temperature with a threaded 4-40 housing and Board Lock feature. Both use brass contacts with gold finish and are RoHS compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Are the backset spacing measurements compatible between these parts?

A: Yes. The L717DA15PAM4 has a backset spacing of 0.319" (8.10mm) and the 5748904-1 has 0.318" (8.08mm). This 0.001" difference is within acceptable tolerance for D-Sub connector applications and does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference?

A: The L717DA15PAM4 has a gold contact finish thickness of 8.00µin (0.203µm), while the 5748904-1 has 30.0µin (0.76µm). The thicker gold plating on the 5748904-1 provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact durability. Both finishes meet industry standards for signal-level D-Sub connectors.

Q: Can I use the 5748904-1 in a high-temperature application rated for 125°C?

A: No. The 5748904-1 has a maximum operating temperature of 105°C. For applications requiring operation at 125°C, the L717DA15PAM4 with its 125°C rating must be used.

Q: What is the Board Lock feature on the 5748904-1?

A: The Board Lock feature on the 5748904-1 refers to the threaded 4-40 flange housing that allows mechanical fastening to the PCB through threaded inserts or standoffs. This provides additional mechanical retention compared to the unthreaded housing of the L717DA15PAM4.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both the L717DA15PAM4 and 5748904-1 are supplied in tray packaging. The L717DA15PAM4 has 931 units in stock, and the 5748904-1 has 1986 units in stock.

Q: Do both connectors meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS compliant, have UL94 V-0 flammability rating, moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited), and are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS code 8536.69.4040.
