Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the RM15WTP-CP(5)(71) is determined by the following critical parameters:

Thread Size Compatibility: M16x0.75 threading is the primary mechanical constraint. Any substitute must maintain this exact thread specification to ensure proper installation into existing connector housings.

Cable Exit Angle: The 180° cable exit configuration must be preserved to maintain proper cable routing and strain relief geometry within the assembly.

Ingress Protection Rating: IP67 classification is mandatory for sealed connector applications. Substitute parts must maintain this environmental protection level.

Series Compatibility: The RM-W series designation indicates compatibility with RM-W and related series plugs. Substitutes from compatible series (RM-W, JR-W) are acceptable when other parameters align.

RoHS Compliance: Both the main part and substitute must maintain RoHS compliance status for regulatory consistency.

The JR13WCC-5(72) qualifies as a substitute based on matching thread size (M16x0.75), cable exit angle (180°), ingress protection (IP67), series compatibility (JR-W compatible with RM-W series), and RoHS compliance. Differences in shell size insert (13 vs. 15), cable opening diameter (0.197" vs. 0.256"), and outside diameter (0.787" vs. 0.748") reflect design variations within the compatible product family but do not preclude substitution when mechanical envelope constraints permit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The JR13WCC-5(72) is the designated manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete RM15WTP-CP(5)(71). Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering factors:

Product Status Alignment: The RM15WTP-CP(5)(71) is obsolete, while the JR13WCC-5(72) maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (1153 pcs), ensuring long-term procurement viability.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8538.90.8180) classifications, ensuring consistent regulatory treatment across supply chain transitions.

Mechanical Interface Compatibility: Matching M16x0.75 thread size and 180° cable exit angle preserve mechanical fit within existing connector assemblies and cable routing configurations.

Environmental Protection: Both parts deliver IP67 ingress protection, maintaining sealed connector performance in dust and moisture-exposed applications.

Series Cross-Compatibility: The JR13WCC-5(72) is specified for use with both JR-W and RM-W series plugs, confirming functional compatibility with existing RM-W series connector systems.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the JR13WCC-5(72) be directly installed in place of the RM15WTP-CP(5)(71)?

A: Direct installation is possible when the mechanical envelope permits. The substitute has a larger outside diameter (0.787" vs. 0.748") and smaller cable opening (0.197" vs. 0.256"). Verify that the connector housing accommodates the larger diameter and that cable gauge compatibility exists with the reduced opening size.

Q: What is the significance of the different shell size insert numbers (15 vs. 13)?

A: Shell size insert numbers designate the connector family and contact arrangement. Size 15 and size 13 represent different connector families within the Hirose circular connector product line. The JR13WCC-5(72) substitute operates within the size 13 family while maintaining thread and environmental protection compatibility with the size 15 original part.

Q: Are there material or plating differences that affect performance?

A: The RM15WTP-CP(5)(71) uses nickel plating on brass and zinc alloy materials, while the JR13WCC-5(72) uses chrome plating on aluminum alloy, brass, and zinc alloy materials. Both plating systems provide corrosion resistance suitable for IP67 sealed applications. Material composition differences do not affect electrical or sealing performance for cable clamp applications.

Q: What cable gauges are compatible with each part?

A: The RM15WTP-CP(5)(71) accommodates cables up to 0.256" (6.50mm) diameter, while the JR13WCC-5(72) accommodates cables up to 0.197" (5.00mm) diameter. Verify cable gauge compatibility before substitution to ensure proper clamping and seal integrity.

Q: Is the substitute available in the same packaging configuration?

A: The RM15WTP-CP(5)(71) packaging is not specified in available data. The JR13WCC-5(72) is supplied in bag packaging and includes 5 pcs per package (1 cable clamp, 1 gasket, 2 screws, 1 washer), compared to the original part which includes 4 pcs (2 clamps, 1 gasket, 1 washer). Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.
