L717DFAG15POL2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The L717DFAG15POL2 is a 15-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) with panel mount, through-hole solder termination. This connector features male pins, a 2-row configuration (Shell Size 2, DA/A layout), and is designed for signal applications with a current rating of 7.5A and voltage rating of 300V. The part is currently active in production with 1100 pieces in stock.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative mounting configurations are required, or when design modifications necessitate different flange features or operating temperature ranges while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Operating Temperature Consideration:

The L717DFAG15POL2 specifies -55°C ~ 155°C operating range. All substitute parts operate within -55°C ~ 105°C range, which covers the lower temperature extreme but does not extend to the 155°C upper limit. Applications requiring operation above 105°C must retain the original L717DFAG15POL2 specification.

Current and Voltage Derating:

Substitute parts are rated at 6A or 5A compared to the primary part's 7.5A rating. Substitute parts are rated at 125V or unspecified compared to the primary part's 300V rating. Circuit designs operating near maximum current or voltage specifications should account for these differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I substitute a 15-position D-Sub plug with a 25-position D-Sub receptacle?

A: No. The 09643127235 (HARTING 25-position receptacle) is not a valid substitute. Substitution requires matching connector type (plug vs. receptacle), position count (15 vs. 25), and gender (male pins vs. female sockets). These parameters are not interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between panel mount and through-hole mounting in these substitutes?

A: The L717DFAG15POL2 specifies panel mount, through-hole configuration. Substitute parts 1-5747872-6, 1-747872-6, 2-338310-2, 5747872-4, 5747872-8, 5748026-1, and 5750638-1 specify through-hole only, without panel mount designation. This indicates different flange feature configurations. Parts 172-015-112R001 and 172-E15-113R911 retain panel mount, through-hole designation. Verify mechanical fit in your application before selection.

Q: Why do substitute parts have lower current ratings (6A or 5A) than the primary part (7.5A)?

A: Current rating is determined by contact material, contact geometry, and thermal design. The L717DFAG15POL2 achieves 7.5A through its specific design. Substitute parts with 6A or 5A ratings are electrically compatible but have different current-carrying capacity. Applications operating at or near 7.5A should retain the original part or verify that the substitute's 6A or 5A rating is sufficient for the circuit.

Q: What does "Shell Size 2 (DA, A)" mean, and why must it match?

A: Shell Size 2 (DA, A) is the physical envelope designation for 15-position D-Sub connectors. This determines mechanical fit with mating receptacles and panel cutouts. All listed substitutes maintain Shell Size 2 (DA, A) to ensure physical compatibility. Changing shell size would require new panel cutouts and mating receptacles.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a different flange feature?

A: Flange features (Board Side, Housing/Shell, Mating Side) determine how the connector attaches to the circuit board or panel. The L717DFAG15POL2 uses Board Side (M3) flange. Substitutes with different flange features (Housing/Shell 4-40, Mating Side Female Screwlock) will have different mounting hole patterns and may not fit existing PCB layouts. Verify mechanical compatibility before substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Most substitute parts are RoHS or ROHS3 compliant. The exception is 1-747872-6, which lists RoHS status as "Not applicable." For applications requiring RoHS compliance, select from parts explicitly marked "RoHS Compliant" or "ROHS3 Compliant." Verify compliance requirements with your procurement or quality department.

Q: What is the difference between Tin Plated and Nickel Plated shell finishes?

A: Both finishes provide corrosion resistance on steel shells. Tin plating is standard on most substitutes. Nickel plating (172-E15-113R911) offers enhanced corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Both are acceptable for general applications. Select based on environmental exposure requirements.

Q: Why do some parts list voltage rating as "—" (unspecified)?

A: Parts 172-015-112R001, 172-E15-113R911, and 2-338310-2 do not specify voltage rating in the provided data. The L717DFAG15POL2 specifies 300V. When voltage rating is unspecified, contact the manufacturer for clarification before use in high-voltage applications.

Q: Can I use a substitute part rated for -50°C ~ 100°C in an application requiring -55°C operation?

A: No. The L717DFAG15POL2 specifies -55°C minimum operating temperature. Parts 172-015-112R001 and 172-E15-113R911 specify -50°C minimum, which does not meet the -55°C requirement. Use only parts rated for -55°C or lower minimum temperature.

Q: What does "Obsolete" product status mean for 172-015-112R001?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. While 842 pieces are currently in stock, future availability is not guaranteed. Use obsolete parts only when legacy system compatibility is mandatory. For new designs, select from active status parts.

Q: Are Brass and Phosphor Bronze contact materials interchangeable?

A: Both materials are acceptable for D-Sub signal connectors. Brass is standard on most substitutes. Phosphor Bronze (2-338310-2) offers enhanced spring properties and wear resistance. Both materials are compatible with gold plating and solder termination. Selection depends on application requirements for contact force and durability.
