L717DFB25PVRM8 D-Sub 25-Position Plug Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The L717DFB25PVRM8 is a 25-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC, featuring panel mount through-hole solder termination. This connector is classified as active product status with 710 units in current inventory. The connector employs machined brass contacts with gold plating and steel tin-plated shell construction, rated for 7.5A at 300V across an operating temperature range of -55°C to 155°C.

Substitute parts are identified based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters: 25-position D-Sub plug configuration, male pin orientation, 2-row layout with shell size 3 (DB, B), solder termination, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitution becomes necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, inventory constraints occur, or design requirements permit alternative mounting configurations or contact materials within specified electrical limits.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on mounting configuration and electrical parameter alignment:

Category A: Panel Mount Configuration (Direct Mechanical Substitutes) Parts 172-025-112R001 and 172-E25-113R911 maintain panel mount through-hole mounting identical to the main part. These substitutes share the same physical interface requirements and flange design. Electrical parameters differ in current rating (5A versus 7.5A) and maximum operating temperature (100°C versus 155°C), requiring circuit-level validation before substitution.

Category B: Through-Hole Vertical Configuration (Electrical Substitutes) Parts 09653617713, 1-5745968-3, 1-5745968-4, 1-5745968-5, 1-5745968-6, 2-338311-2, 2-5747704-0, and 208008-2 employ vertical through-hole mounting without panel flange. These parts maintain the 25-position D-Sub plug configuration, 2-row layout, shell size 3 (DB, B), solder termination, and UL94 V-0 rating. Current ratings range from 6A to 6.5A, and operating temperatures range from 105°C to 125°C, all below the main part specification of 7.5A at 300V and -55°C to 155°C.

Key Parameters Determining Substitution:

25-position D-Sub plug, male pins, 2-row configuration
Shell size 3 (DB, B)
Solder termination
UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Current rating ≤ 7.5A
Voltage rating ≤ 300V
Operating temperature range encompassing -55°C minimum

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Panel Mount Applications: Parts 172-E25-113R911 (active status, ROHS3 compliant) and 172-025-112R001 (obsolete status, ROHS3 compliant) maintain identical panel mount through-hole configuration. Selection between these requires evaluation of current and temperature derating: both are rated 5A maximum versus the main part's 7.5A, and maximum operating temperature of 100°C versus 155°C. The 172-E25-113R911 is preferred due to active product status and ROHS3 compliance, provided circuit design accommodates the reduced electrical ratings.

For Through-Hole Vertical Mount Applications: TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series (1-5745968-3, 1-5745968-4, 1-5745968-5, 1-5745968-6, 2-5747704-0, 208008-2) and 2-338311-2 (AMPLIMITE HDP-20) offer active status with ROHS3 compliance. All are rated 6A at 125V with -55°C to 105°C operating range. The 1-5745968-6 variant is preferred for new designs due to RoHS compliance status. Part 2-338311-2 employs phosphor bronze contacts instead of brass, suitable for applications requiring enhanced spring characteristics.

For RoHS Compliance Requirements: All substitute parts except 208008-2 carry ROHS3 compliant or RoHS compliant status. The main part L717DFB25PVRM8 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection of ROHS3-compliant substitutes (09653617713, 1-5745968-3 through 1-5745968-6, 172-025-112R001, 172-E25-113R911, 2-338311-2, 2-5747704-0) is required for applications subject to RoHS directive enforcement.

For High-Temperature Applications: The main part L717DFB25PVRM8 operates to 155°C. No substitute part matches this specification; all alternatives are limited to 100°C to 125°C maximum. Applications requiring sustained operation above 125°C cannot use listed substitutes without circuit redesign or thermal management modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-5745968-3, 1-5745968-4, 1-5745968-5, or 1-5745968-6 directly replace L717DFB25PVRM8 in a panel mount application?

A: No. These TE Connectivity parts employ vertical through-hole mounting without panel flange. Physical board layout modification is required. Electrical parameters also differ: 6A versus 7.5A current rating and 125V versus 300V voltage rating. Circuit validation is mandatory before substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between 1-5745968-3, 1-5745968-4, 1-5745968-5, and 1-5745968-6?

A: All four parts are electrically and mechanically identical 25-position D-Sub plugs from the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series. Differences exist only in RoHS compliance status: 1-5745968-3, 1-5745968-4, and 1-5745968-5 carry ROHS3 compliance; 1-5745968-6 carries RoHS compliance. For new designs, 1-5745968-6 is preferred.

Q: Can 172-025-112R001 be used as a direct replacement for L717DFB25PVRM8?

A: 172-025-112R001 maintains panel mount through-hole configuration and is mechanically compatible. However, it is classified as obsolete product status with reduced electrical ratings: 5A versus 7.5A and unspecified voltage rating versus 300V. Operating temperature is limited to 100°C versus 155°C. Use only if circuit design accommodates these deratings and obsolete part availability is acceptable.

Q: Why does 2-338311-2 use phosphor bronze contacts instead of brass?

A: Phosphor bronze provides enhanced spring force and contact retention characteristics compared to brass. This material selection is suitable for applications requiring improved contact reliability under vibration or thermal cycling. Electrical performance remains equivalent within specified ratings.

Q: Is 208008-2 suitable for RoHS-regulated applications?

A: No. Part 208008-2 carries "Not applicable" RoHS status, indicating it does not meet RoHS compliance requirements. For applications subject to RoHS directive enforcement, select ROHS3-compliant alternatives such as 1-5745968-6, 2-5747704-0, or 2-338311-2.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness specifications (20.0µin versus 30.0µin versus Flash)?

A: Contact finish thickness affects contact resistance, wear resistance, and service life. L717DFB25PVRM8 specifies 20.0µin (0.51µm) gold plating. Substitute parts specify either 30.0µin (0.76µm) or flash plating. Flash plating provides minimal thickness for corrosion protection; 30.0µin provides enhanced wear resistance. Selection depends on application contact cycle requirements and environmental exposure.

Q: Can 09653617713 (HARTING) replace L717DFB25PVRM8 in high-temperature applications?

A: No. 09653617713 is limited to -55°C to 125°C operating range versus the main part's -55°C to 155°C. Additionally, current rating is 6.5A versus 7.5A. Use only if circuit design accommodates these deratings and vertical through-hole mounting is acceptable.

Q: What mounting modifications are required to use vertical through-hole parts (Category B) in place of panel mount L717DFB25PVRM8?

A: Vertical through-hole parts require PCB footprint redesign to accommodate connector orientation and flange geometry differences. Panel mount parts feature unthreaded or threaded flanges for panel cutout mounting; vertical through-hole parts feature housing-shell or board-side mounting features. Mechanical drawings and PCB layout revision are mandatory before substitution.
