L717DAF15P - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The L717DAF15P is a 15-position D-Sub plug connector with solder cup termination, manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This connector is actively produced and widely used in applications requiring reliable D-shaped connector solutions. Finding equivalent and substitute parts is necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative sourcing is required for cost optimization, or when specific application requirements necessitate alternative connector configurations with compatible electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the L717DAF15P is determined by strict compatibility in the following parameters:

Critical Parameters (Must Match):

• Connector type: D-Sub Plug, Male Pins
• Number of positions: 15
• Number of rows: 2
• Shell size: 2 (DA, A)
• Termination: Solder Cup
• Contact type: Signal with machined contacts
• Shell material: Steel with tin plating
• Contact material: Brass with gold plating
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Dielectric material: Glass-filled thermoplastic or equivalent

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Current rating: Equal to or greater than 7.5A
• Voltage rating: Equal to or greater than 300V
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass or extend the -55°C to 125°C range
• Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line) or panel mount variants with compatible mechanical interfaces
• Packaging: Bag, tray, or equivalent industrial packaging formats
• Product status: Active preferred; obsolete acceptable if specifications remain compatible

The identified substitute parts meet these criteria while maintaining functional equivalence for D-Sub signal connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DAP15P065TXLF (Amphenol ICC/FCI): This part is a direct functional equivalent with superior performance characteristics. It maintains identical mechanical compatibility (15 positions, 2-row, DA/A shell size, solder cup termination) and exceeds the voltage rating specification (1000V versus 300V). Both parts are actively produced and RoHS compliant, providing supply chain continuity. The higher contact finish thickness (30.0µin versus 8.00µin) offers extended contact durability in high-cycle applications.

172-015-102R001 (NorComp Inc.): This part provides functional equivalence for applications where the lower current rating (5A versus 7.5A) and reduced temperature operating range (-50°C to 100°C versus -55°C to 125°C) are acceptable. The primary limitation is product status (obsolete), which restricts new production sourcing despite current inventory availability. The panel mount variant differs mechanically from the free-hanging configuration of the primary part and requires mechanical redesign for direct implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 172-015-102R001 replace the L717DAF15P in all applications?

A: The 172-015-102R001 maintains electrical and positional compatibility but presents two constraints: The current rating of 5A is lower than the specified 7.5A, limiting applications requiring full current capacity. The operating temperature range of -50°C to 100°C does not extend to the full -55°C to 125°C specification of the primary part. Additionally, the panel mount configuration requires mechanical redesign compared to the free-hanging (in-line) mounting type of the L717DAF15P. Applications within these parameter boundaries are compatible.

Q: Is the DAP15P065TXLF a drop-in replacement?

A: Yes, for free-hanging (in-line) applications. The DAP15P065TXLF matches the primary part in connector configuration, position count, mounting type, and termination method. It exceeds the original specification in voltage rating (1000V versus 300V) and contact durability (30.0µin gold plating). Both parts maintain identical mechanical footprints and solder cup termination compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between these substitute parts?

A: The DAP15P065TXLF (Amphenol ICC/FCI) is a primary substitute offering superior performance (higher voltage rating, increased contact durability) with active production status. The 172-015-102R001 (NorComp Inc.) is an alternative substitute with lower current and temperature ratings and panel mount configuration; its obsolete status limits new production sourcing.

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

A: Selection depends on application requirements. For applications requiring the full 7.5A current rating and -55°C to 125°C temperature range with free-hanging mounting, the DAP15P065TXLF is appropriate. The 172-015-102R001 is applicable only in applications with 5A maximum current and -50°C to 100°C temperature constraints, combined with availability acceptance of an obsolete part number.

Q: Are packaging differences relevant to substitution?

A: Packaging format (bag versus tray) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection may depend on procurement volume, handling requirements, and storage conditions, but does not alter the functional substitutability of the connector components.
