L717TSAH15POL2 D-Sub Plug Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The L717TSAH15POL2 is a 15-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC, featuring male pins, vertical solder termination, and through-hole mounting. This connector is classified as a D-shaped connector (Shell Size 2, DA/A layout) with signal-grade contacts and board-side flange mounting (4-40). The part is currently active in production with 1014 units in stock.
Substitute parts are necessary when the L717TSAH15POL2 becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required, or when design specifications allow for compatible connector variants from other manufacturers. Equivalent parts must maintain the same electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and environmental ratings to ensure direct interchangeability in circuit applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Tier 1 - Preferred Substitutes (Active Status, Electrical Superiority):
The HARTING parts 09652216703 and 09652617713 are recommended as primary substitutes. Both maintain active product status, support the full -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range, and exceed the current rating requirement with 6.5A capacity. ROHS3 compliance ensures regulatory alignment with current environmental standards. The 09652617713 variant includes board lock features, providing enhanced mechanical retention in high-vibration applications.
The TE Connectivity AMP parts 5745052-2 and 5208007-2 (AMPLIMITE HD-20 series) are suitable alternatives with 6A current rating and active status. These parts are rated for 125V, which is lower than the L717TSAH15POL2 specification of 600V; however, they remain acceptable for applications where 125V operation is sufficient. The operating temperature range extends to -55°C to 105°C, which covers most industrial applications but does not reach the full 125°C upper limit of the original part.
Tier 2 - Compatible Alternatives (Active Status, Parameter Variance):
The NorComp 172-E series parts (172-E15-113R001, 172-E15-113R011, 172-E15-113R021, 172-E15-113R911) are active products with ROHS3 compliance and gold-plated contacts. These connectors feature panel mount capability in addition to through-hole mounting, providing design flexibility. The 5A current rating is lower than the original 3A specification, and the operating temperature range (-50°C to 100°C) does not extend to the full -55°C to 125°C envelope. These parts are suitable for applications with relaxed temperature requirements and lower current demands.
Tier 3 - Legacy Alternatives (Obsolete Status):
The NorComp 172-015 series parts (172-015-112R001, 172-015-112R011) are obsolete but remain in inventory. These parts share mechanical compatibility and gold-plated contact finish with the original connector. Obsolete status indicates discontinued manufacturing; selection should be limited to applications where existing stock availability is critical and no active alternatives are acceptable.
Compliance Considerations:
All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS or ROHS3 compliance. The L717TSAH15POL2 is RoHS Compliant; substitutes rated ROHS3 Compliant represent updated regulatory alignment and are acceptable. Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) is maintained across all active substitutes, ensuring compatibility with standard storage and handling procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can I substitute the L717TSAH15POL2 with a HARTING 09652216703 in my existing design?
A: Yes, the HARTING 09652216703 is a compatible substitute. Both connectors share the same D-Sub 15-position configuration, Shell Size 2 (DA, A) layout, through-hole mounting, and solder termination. The HARTING part exceeds the current rating (6.5A vs. 3A) and maintains the full -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Verify that your PCB layout accommodates the flange mounting interface, as the HARTING part features a mating-side female screwlock rather than board-side mounting.
Q2: What is the difference between the HARTING 09652216703 and 09652617713?
A: Both HARTING parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent with identical current ratings (6.5A) and temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C). The primary difference is the inclusion of board lock features in the 09652617713 variant. Board lock provides enhanced mechanical retention and is recommended for applications subject to vibration or frequent mating/unmating cycles. Select 09652617713 if your design requires positive mechanical locking; select 09652216703 for standard applications.
Q3: Why do the TE Connectivity AMP parts (5745052-2 and 5208007-2) show a lower voltage rating (125V vs. 600V)?
A: The voltage rating difference reflects the electrical design specifications of each connector family. The TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series is rated for 125V operation, while the Amphenol L717TSAH15POL2 is rated for 600V. Both ratings are valid for their respective product lines. Select the TE Connectivity parts only if your application operates at 125V or lower. For applications requiring 600V operation, use the Amphenol original or HARTING substitutes.
Q4: Can I use the NorComp 172-E15 series as a substitute if my application operates at -55°C?
A: The NorComp 172-E15 series is rated for -50°C to 100°C operation, which does not extend to the -55°C lower limit of the L717TSAH15POL2. If your application requires operation at -55°C, do not use the NorComp 172-E15 series. Use the HARTING or TE Connectivity alternatives, which both support -55°C operation.
Q5: What is the significance of "Panel Mount, Through Hole" mounting on the NorComp parts?
A: The NorComp 172-E15 and 172-015 series support both panel mount and through-hole mounting configurations. This dual-mount capability provides design flexibility but does not affect electrical compatibility. If your PCB design uses standard through-hole solder termination, the panel mount feature is not utilized. Verify that your PCB layout accommodates the connector's flange geometry, as panel mount variants may have different dimensional specifications than through-hole-only designs.
Q6: Are the obsolete NorComp 172-015 parts acceptable for new designs?
A: Obsolete parts are not recommended for new designs. The NorComp 172-015 series has been discontinued and is no longer manufactured. While existing inventory (842 units) is available, future replenishment is not guaranteed. Use obsolete parts only for repair or maintenance of existing equipment where the original part number is required. For new designs, select active products such as the HARTING or TE Connectivity alternatives.
Q7: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?
A: The L717TSAH15POL2 is supplied in Tray packaging. Substitute parts are available in multiple packaging formats: HARTING parts in Bulk, NorComp parts in Tray, and TE Connectivity parts in Tube. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may impact procurement logistics and storage requirements. Verify packaging availability with your supplier to ensure compatibility with your assembly process.
Q8: Do all substitute parts maintain the same contact finish (gold flash)?
A: No. The L717TSAH15POL2 features gold flash contact finish. The HARTING parts do not specify contact finish, and the TE Connectivity parts specify gold flash. The NorComp parts specify gold flash. Contact finish affects signal integrity and corrosion resistance. If your application requires gold-plated contacts for low-signal applications or corrosive environments, verify contact finish specifications with the supplier before selection.
Q9: Which substitute offers the highest current capacity?
A: The HARTING parts (09652216703 and 09652617713) offer the highest current capacity at 6.5A, compared to the original 3A specification. The TE Connectivity parts provide 6A capacity. If your application requires current capacity exceeding 3A, the HARTING parts are the optimal choice.
Q10: Can I mix and match substitute parts in the same assembly?
A: Yes, all listed substitutes are mechanically and electrically compatible with the L717TSAH15POL2 and can be used interchangeably within the same assembly. However, for consistency and simplified inventory management, it is recommended to standardize on a single substitute part number per design. If multiple substitute parts are used in the same assembly, ensure that all parts meet the most stringent electrical and environmental requirements of your application.
