RM15TRD-10SC Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RM15TRD-10SC is a 10-position circular connector receptacle housing manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd, designed for panel mount applications with bulkhead rear-side nut fastening. This component is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing system support and new design implementations. The receptacle housing accommodates female sockets with crimp-type contacts and operates across the temperature range of -25°C to 85°C.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RM15TRD-10SC is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle Housing for Female Sockets)
• Number of positions (10)
• Shell size - insert (15)
• Mounting configuration (Panel Mount with Bulkhead - Rear Side Nut)
• Contact type (Crimp)
• Shell material and finish (Zinc Alloy, Chrome)
• Insert material (Polycarbonate PC)
• Operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 85°C)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Keyed orientation and threaded fastening

The identified substitute maintains complete alignment with all specified parameters, differing only in product status classification and RoHS compliance level.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The RM15TRD-10SC(71) serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete RM15TRD-10SC. Both components are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd within the RM series and maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status: RM15TRD-10SC is classified as obsolete, while RM15TRD-10SC(71) maintains active production status. Additionally, RM15TRD-10SC(71) achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the original part does not.

For applications requiring compliance with current environmental regulations or long-term component availability, RM15TRD-10SC(71) is the appropriate selection. Both parts are functionally interchangeable within systems designed for the RM15TRD-10SC specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are RM15TRD-10SC and RM15TRD-10SC(71) mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical specifications including shell size (15), mounting configuration (panel mount with bulkhead rear-side nut), and housing dimensions. Physical installation and mating characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the (71) designation in RM15TRD-10SC(71)?

A: The (71) suffix indicates a packaging or compliance variant within the RM series. In this case, it denotes the RoHS-compliant version available in bulk packaging, while maintaining all functional and mechanical equivalence to the base part number.

Q: Can RM15TRD-10SC(71) replace RM15TRD-10SC in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility. No design modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for both parts?

A: Both RM15TRD-10SC and RM15TRD-10SC(71) operate across -25°C to 85°C, ensuring thermal compatibility across standard industrial and commercial applications.

Q: Are contacts included with these receptacle housings?

A: No. Both parts are receptacle housings only. Crimp-type contacts must be sourced separately and installed according to Hirose specifications.

Q: What is the difference in RoHS compliance between these parts?

A: RM15TRD-10SC is RoHS non-compliant, while RM15TRD-10SC(71) is RoHS compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, RM15TRD-10SC(71) is the appropriate selection.
