Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for D-Sub connectors is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Parameters (Must Match):

• Connector type: Plug with male pins
• Number of positions: 15
• Number of rows: 2
• Shell size and layout: 2 (DA, A)
• Termination method: Solder cup
• Contact type: Signal

Compatible Variation Parameters:

• Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line) or panel mount configurations may be substituted depending on application mechanical constraints
• Current rating: Substitute parts must meet or exceed the required current rating
• Voltage rating: Substitute parts must meet or exceed the required voltage rating
• Operating temperature range: Substitute parts must encompass or exceed the required temperature range
• Contact finish: Gold or equivalent precious metal finishes are acceptable
• RoHS compliance status: Active or compliant parts are preferred; obsolete parts require lifecycle assessment

Non-Compatible Variations:

• Position count, row configuration, or shell size deviations
• Termination method changes (e.g., from solder cup to crimp)
• Connector gender or pin configuration changes

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DAP15P065TXLF (Amphenol ICC / FCI) - Primary Substitute

This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the L717DAH15PVF2. Both connectors share identical mounting type (free hanging, in-line), position count (15), row configuration (2), shell size (2 DA/A), and termination method (solder cup). The DAP15P065TXLF meets or exceeds all critical performance parameters: current rating of 7.5A per contact matches the primary part, and voltage rating of 1000V exceeds the 300V requirement. Operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) is identical. Both parts maintain Active product status and RoHS compliance. The DAP15P065TXLF features enhanced gold contact finish (30.0µin GXT™) compared to the primary part (8.00µin), providing superior contact durability. This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring in-line mounting.

172-015-102R001 (NorComp Inc.) - Conditional Substitute

This part provides functional equivalence with significant mechanical constraint: it features panel mount configuration rather than free hanging (in-line) mounting. This substitution is valid only for applications where panel mounting is mechanically compatible with the system design. Electrical parameters show reduced current rating (5A versus 7.5A), which may limit suitability for high-current applications. Operating temperature range (-50°C to 100°C) is narrower than the primary part, restricting use in extreme temperature environments. The part maintains RoHS3 compliance and possesses substantial inventory availability (10068 units). Product status is Obsolete, requiring lifecycle and supply chain assessment before selection. This part is suitable only when mechanical mounting configuration can be adapted and current/temperature requirements are within specified limits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can DAP15P065TXLF replace L717DAH15PVF2 in all applications?

A: Yes, within the scope of in-line, free-hanging mounting applications. Both connectors share identical shell size (2 DA/A), position count (15), row configuration (2), and termination method (solder cup). Electrical ratings are equivalent or superior. No mechanical or electrical modifications are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between L717DAH15PVF2 and DAP15P065TXLF?

A: The primary difference is contact finish specification. L717DAH15PVF2 specifies 8.00µin gold plating, while DAP15P065TXLF specifies 30.0µin GXT™ gold plating. The DAP15P065TXLF provides enhanced contact durability. Voltage rating also differs: 300V versus 1000V, with DAP15P065TXLF providing higher voltage capability.

Q: Why is 172-015-102R001 marked as Obsolete?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer discontinuation. Obsolete parts may have limited future availability and extended lead times. Selection of obsolete parts requires supply chain risk assessment and lifecycle planning.

Q: Can 172-015-102R001 be used in place of L717DAH15PVF2?

A: Substitution is possible only if the application mechanical design accommodates panel mount configuration instead of in-line mounting. Additionally, the reduced current rating (5A versus 7.5A) and narrower operating temperature range (-50°C to 100°C versus -55°C to 125°C) must be verified against application requirements.

Q: What does "Shell Size 2 (DA, A)" mean?

A: This designates the D-Sub connector shell size and pin layout. Size 2 is the standard 15-position D-Sub configuration with two rows of pins. DA and A refer to the specific pin arrangement pattern within this shell size.

Q: Are all three connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. L717DAH15PVF2 and DAP15P065TXLF are RoHS Compliant. 172-015-102R001 is ROHS3 Compliant. All three meet current RoHS regulatory requirements.

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

A: Contact finish thickness affects contact durability and wear resistance. L717DAH15PVF2 specifies 8.00µin, while DAP15P065TXLF specifies 30.0µin (GXT™). Thicker plating generally provides longer service life in high-cycle mating applications. 172-015-102R001 specifies Flash plating, which is minimal thickness for corrosion protection only.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably with different D-Sub sizes?

A: No. All three parts are specifically 15-position, 2-row, Shell Size 2 (DA, A) connectors. They are not compatible with other D-Sub sizes (9-position, 25-position, 37-position, etc.) or shell configurations.
