Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (L717DA15PAM4B): The L717DA15PAM4B is the preferred selection for applications requiring RoHS compliance. This part maintains active product status with established inventory availability and meets all standard D-Sub connector specifications for 15-position through-hole solder applications.

Substitute Part Selection (DAM15P743M): The DAM15P743M provides functional equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. This substitute is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not a regulatory requirement. The yellow cadmium plating on the steel shell provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to tin plating, making this substitute appropriate for harsh environment applications. Both parts share identical connector geometry, pin configuration, and electrical ratings.

Regulatory Considerations: Selection between these parts must account for RoHS compliance mandates in the target application. The L717DA15PAM4B is RoHS compliant, while the DAM15P743M is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts are REACH unaffected and classified under ECCN EAR99.

Inventory and Availability: The L717DA15PAM4B has 920 units in current inventory. The DAM15P743M has 1071 units available, providing an alternative sourcing option when primary part availability is constrained.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DAM15P743M be used as a direct replacement for L717DA15PAM4B in all applications?

A: DAM15P743M provides electrical and mechanical equivalence for D-Sub connector functionality. However, RoHS compliance status differs between the parts. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use L717DA15PAM4B. Applications without RoHS requirements can use DAM15P743M.

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

A: L717DA15PAM4B features steel with tin plating. DAM15P743M features steel with yellow cadmium plating. Both finishes provide corrosion protection, with cadmium plating offering enhanced performance in harsh environments.

Q: Are the pin configurations identical between L717DA15PAM4B and DAM15P743M?

A: Both connectors are 15-position D-Sub plugs with 2-row configuration and shell size 2 (DA, A). Pin spacing and connector geometry are equivalent.

Q: What are the current and voltage ratings for both connectors?

A: Both L717DA15PAM4B and DAM15P743M are rated for 7.5A current and 300V voltage. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C for both parts.

Q: Does DAM15P743M offer any advantages over L717DA15PAM4B?

A: DAM15P743M includes harsh environment ingress protection rating, which L717DA15PAM4B does not specify. DAM15P743M also has higher current inventory availability (1071 units versus 920 units).

Q: Are both connectors suitable for solder termination?

A: Both L717DA15PAM4B and DAM15P743M use solder termination for through-hole mounting applications.

Q: What is the backset spacing difference between these parts?

A: L717DA15PAM4B has backset spacing of 0.590" (14.99mm). DAM15P743M has backset spacing of 0.318" (8.08mm). This difference reflects different mechanical specifications and may affect PCB layout considerations.
