Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the SMS15PDH3 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

• Series designation (SMS)
• Position count (15 positions)
• Pitch specification (0.200" / 5.08mm)
• Connector type (Plug Housing)
• Manufacturer (Souriau-Sunbank by Eaton)

The SMS15PDH1 meets all these criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent within the SMS rectangular connector family. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical interfaces, differing only in non-functional attributes such as color designation.
