Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of D-Sub 25 position connectors is determined by strict equivalence in the following parameters:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Connector type (Plug with Male Pins)
• Number of positions (25)
• Number of rows (2)
• Shell size and layout (3 / DB, B)
• Termination method (Solder Cup)
• Flange feature (Housing/Shell, Unthreaded)
• Contact type (Signal)

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Current rating must be equal to or greater than the original part
• Voltage rating must be equal to or greater than the original part
• Operating temperature range must encompass or match the original specification

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting type must be compatible with the application
• Shell material and finish must be equivalent
• Contact material and finish must be compatible

The substitute parts listed below meet these critical parameters and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the L717DFBF25P in applications where the specified parameters are required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

L717DFBF25P (Primary Part - Active Status)

The L717DFBF25P remains the primary specification for new designs and applications requiring panel mount configuration. This part is in active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating meet current regulatory requirements.

172-025-102R001 (NorComp Inc. - Obsolete Status)

This part is classified as obsolete and should not be selected for new designs. While it shares the same connector geometry and termination method, the lower current rating (5A versus 7.5A) and narrower operating temperature range (-50°C to 100°C versus -55°C to 125°C) limit its application scope. The voltage rating is not specified, introducing uncertainty in high-voltage applications. This part is suitable only for legacy system maintenance where existing inventory exists.

DBP25P065TXLF (Amphenol ICC / FCI - Active Status)

This part is in active product status and offers superior electrical specifications with a 1000V voltage rating and equivalent 7.5A current rating. However, the mounting type differs: this part is configured for free hanging (in-line) installation rather than panel mount. Selection of this part requires mechanical redesign of the mounting interface. The higher contact finish thickness (30.0µin versus 20.0µin) provides enhanced durability. This part is suitable for applications where in-line mounting is acceptable and higher voltage ratings are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 172-025-102R001 be used as a direct replacement for the L717DFBF25P?

A: The 172-025-102R001 shares the same connector geometry and pin count but has a lower current rating (5A versus 7.5A) and a narrower operating temperature range. It is not a direct replacement for applications requiring the full 7.5A current capacity or the extended temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Additionally, this part is obsolete and not recommended for new designs.

Q: What is the primary difference between the L717DFBF25P and the DBP25P065TXLF?

A: The primary difference is the mounting type. The L717DFBF25P is panel mount, while the DBP25P065TXLF is free hanging (in-line). Both parts share the same 25-position D-Sub configuration, solder cup termination, and 7.5A current rating. The DBP25P065TXLF offers a higher voltage rating (1000V versus 300V). Selection depends on the mechanical mounting requirements of the application.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: The L717DFBF25P is RoHS Compliant. The 172-025-102R001 and DBP25P065TXLF are both ROHS3 Compliant, which represents a more recent compliance standard. All three parts meet RoHS requirements.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these parts?

A: The L717DFBF25P is supplied in Bag packaging. The 172-025-102R001 is supplied in Tray packaging. The DBP25P065TXLF is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection may affect handling, storage, and integration into manufacturing processes.

Q: Can the DBP25P065TXLF be used in a panel mount application?

A: The DBP25P065TXLF is designed for free hanging (in-line) installation and is not configured for direct panel mount use. Mechanical adaptation would be required to integrate this part into a panel mount application. For panel mount applications, the L717DFBF25P is the appropriate selection.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness difference between these parts?

A: The L717DFBF25P has a gold contact finish of 20.0µin (0.51µm). The 172-025-102R001 has a flash gold finish (thickness not specified). The DBP25P065TXLF has a gold GXT™ finish of 30.0µin (0.76µm). The thicker finish on the DBP25P065TXLF provides enhanced wear resistance and contact durability.

Q: Is the 172-025-102R001 suitable for new product designs?

A: No. The 172-025-102R001 is classified as obsolete and should not be selected for new designs. It is suitable only for maintenance and repair of existing systems where this part number is already in use. For new designs, select either the L717DFBF25P (panel mount) or the DBP25P065TXLF (in-line mount).
