RM15WTP-CP(9)(71) Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The RM15WTP-CP(9)(71) is a silver connector cable clamp with internal M16x0.75 threading, manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd as part of the RM-W series. This component is classified as a circular connector cable clamp designed for IP67-rated applications requiring dust-tight and waterproof sealing. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the RM15WTP-CP(9)(71) is determined by the following critical parameters that must align between the main part and substitute components:

• Thread Size: M16x0.75 threading is mandatory for mechanical compatibility with mating connectors
• Cable Exit Angle: 180° cable exit orientation must be maintained for installation geometry
• Ingress Protection Rating: IP67 classification is required for dust-tight and waterproof sealing performance
• Connector Series Compatibility: Parts must be compatible with RM-W or JR-W series plugs for electrical and mechanical integration

The substitute part JR13WCC-9(72) meets these critical substitution criteria while offering an active product status and enhanced material composition.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The JR13WCC-9(72) is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete RM15WTP-CP(9)(71). Both components share identical thread sizing (M16x0.75), cable exit orientation (180°), and ingress protection classification (IP67), establishing functional equivalence for mechanical and environmental performance requirements.

The substitute part offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS3 compliance provides regulatory alignment with current environmental standards
• Enhanced material composition (Aluminum Alloy addition) improves structural properties
• Chrome plating offers corrosion resistance characteristics
• Expanded package contents (5 pieces including clamp screws) reduce assembly procurement complexity

The primary design difference is the shell size reduction from 15 to 13, which correlates with a smaller cable opening (9.00mm versus 10.50mm). This parameter change requires verification that the cable diameter of the target application falls within the 9.00mm specification of the substitute component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes JR13WCC-9(72) a valid substitute for RM15WTP-CP(9)(71)?

A: Both components share critical substitution parameters: M16x0.75 thread size, 180° cable exit angle, and IP67 ingress protection rating. Both are manufactured by Hirose Electric Co Ltd and are compatible with RM-W and JR-W series plugs. The substitute is an active product, addressing the obsolescence of the original part.

Q: What is the primary design difference between these components?

A: The shell size differs (15 versus 13), resulting in different cable opening dimensions. The RM15WTP-CP(9)(71) accommodates cables up to 10.50mm, while the JR13WCC-9(72) is rated for cables up to 9.00mm. Cable diameter compatibility must be confirmed before substitution.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: The substitute part (JR13WCC-9(72)) carries RoHS3 compliance status, while the original part does not specify this certification. Both components have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) and ECCN classification of EAR99. The substitute's REACH status is "Affected," compared to "Unaffected" for the original part.

Q: What is included in the packaging of each component?

A: The RM15WTP-CP(9)(71) includes 4 pieces (2 clamps, 1 gasket, 1 washer). The JR13WCC-9(72) includes 5 pieces (1 cable clamp, 1 gasket, 2 screws, 1 washer). The substitute provides additional clamp screws, which may reduce secondary procurement requirements.

Q: Can the substitute be used in existing designs without modification?

A: Substitution is valid only if the cable diameter of the application is 9.00mm or smaller. If the original design uses cables larger than 9.00mm, the smaller cable opening of the substitute component will not provide proper clamping and sealing performance.
