Mandatory Matching Parameters:

Connector Type: Plug, Male Pins
Number of Positions: 15
Number of Rows: 2
Shell Size, Connector Layout: 2 (DA, A)
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Termination: Solder

Performance Parameters (Must Meet or Exceed):

Current Rating: Minimum 7.5A
Voltage Rating: Minimum 300V
Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass -55°C to 125°C
Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Compliance Parameters:

RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant
REACH Status: REACH Unaffected or Vendor Undefined acceptable

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category A - Full Electrical & Mechanical Equivalents: Parts meeting all mandatory parameters and matching or exceeding all performance specifications. These parts are direct substitutes with no design or assembly modifications required.

Category B - Functional Equivalents with Parameter Variations: Parts meeting all mandatory parameters but with variations in non-critical specifications such as contact finish thickness, flange feature design, or dielectric material composition. These parts are suitable for applications where the parameter variation does not impact system performance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute - Category A (Full Equivalents):

No substitute parts achieve full electrical equivalence across all parameters. The L717DAH15POL2RM8 specifies 7.5A current rating and 300V voltage rating, which exceed all available substitute options.

Secondary Substitutes - Category B (Functional Equivalents):

The following parts are suitable substitutes when application requirements permit operation within their specified electrical parameters:

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can 09642227240 (HARTING) be used as a direct replacement for L717DAH15POL2RM8?

A: 09642227240 matches the mandatory mechanical parameters (15 positions, 2 rows, shell size 2 DA/A, through-hole solder termination, plug male pins). However, it has a voltage rating of 100V compared to the main part's 300V specification. It is suitable only for applications with voltage requirements not exceeding 100V. Current rating is equivalent at 7.5A.

Q2: Why do TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series parts show lower current ratings (6A) than the main part (7.5A)?

A: Current rating is a design specification determined by contact material, contact geometry, and thermal characteristics. The TE Connectivity parts are rated for 6A maximum continuous current. Applications requiring 7.5A current capacity must use parts with that specification or higher. These parts are suitable for applications with current requirements ≤6A.

Q3: What is the significance of the operating temperature range difference between L717DAH15POL2RM8 (-55°C to 125°C) and substitute parts?

A: The main part operates across a wider temperature range. Substitute parts with narrower ranges (such as -20°C to 125°C or -50°C to 100°C) are suitable only for applications operating within their specified limits. If your application requires operation at -55°C or above 105°C, verify the substitute part's temperature specification.

Q4: Are NorComp 172-015-112R001 and 172-E15-113R911 suitable for new designs?

A: 172-015-112R001 has Obsolete product status and is not recommended for new designs. 172-E15-113R911 has Active product status and is suitable for new designs. However, both parts have current ratings of 5A, which is lower than the main part's 7.5A specification. Use only if application current requirements do not exceed 5A.

Q5: What packaging formats are available for substitute parts?

A: Packaging varies by part number. L717DAH15POL2RM8 is supplied in Tray packaging. Substitutes are available in Tray (172-015-112R001, 172-E15-113R911), Tube (1-5747872-6, 5747872-4, 5747872-8, 5748026-1, 5750638-1), and Bulk (09642227240, 2-338310-2) formats. Verify packaging compatibility with your manufacturing process requirements.

Q6: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: 5748026-1 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, AMPLIMITE HD-20 series) has the highest inventory at 64,520 pieces. This part is ROHS3 Compliant, rated for 6A current and 125V voltage, with operating temperature -55°C to 105°C.

Q7: Do all substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance?

A: All listed substitute parts are either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant. RoHS Compliant parts meet the original Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. ROHS3 Compliant parts meet the updated directive. Both statuses are acceptable for RoHS-regulated applications.

Q8: What is the difference between shell finish options (Tin Plated vs. Nickel Plated)?

A: Shell material finish affects corrosion resistance and environmental performance. Tin Plated finish (used on L717DAH15POL2RM8 and most substitutes) provides good corrosion resistance for standard applications. Nickel Plated finish (172-E15-113R911) provides enhanced corrosion resistance in more aggressive environments. Both finishes are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.

Q9: Can parts with different contact materials (Brass vs. Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze) be interchanged?

A: Contact material affects electrical conductivity, wear resistance, and spring characteristics. L717DAH15POL2RM8 uses Brass contacts. Substitutes use Brass, Copper Alloy, or Phosphor Bronze. These materials are functionally equivalent for signal-level D-Sub connectors. Verify material compatibility if your application has specific requirements for contact resistance or wear performance.

Q10: What does "Mating Side, Female Screwlock (4-40)" flange feature mean?

A: This feature indicates the connector has threaded holes on the mating side (the side that connects to the receptacle) for 4-40 screws. This provides mechanical locking between plug and receptacle. L717DAH15POL2RM8 has "Board Side (4-40)" flange feature, meaning threaded holes are on the board-mounting side. Verify flange feature compatibility with your mating receptacle design.
