Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SL415F is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type and gender (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
• Number of positions (5)
• Shell size designation (SL-5F)
• Termination method (Solder Eyelet)
• Fastening type (Threaded)
• Orientation (D)
• Shell material and finish (Copper Alloy, Nickel)
• Contact finish (Silver)
• Current rating (5A)
• Cable opening dimension (0.280" / 7.10mm)
• Shielding configuration (Shielded)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The SL415FX meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete SL415F.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The SL415FX is the direct substitute for the obsolete SL415F. Both connectors are identical in all functional and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance: the SL415F is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the SL415FX is active and ROHS3 compliant. For new designs or system replacements, the SL415FX is the appropriate selection. The SL415FX is available in bulk packaging and maintains full inventory availability.
