XAP-15V-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The XAP-15V-1 is a 15-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by JST Sales America Inc. This receptacle housing is designed for crimp contact termination with a 0.098" (2.50mm) pitch and latch lock fastening. The part is currently active in production with 1549 units in stock. Alternative connector housings may be required due to design standardization, supply chain optimization, or specific application requirements where equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are acceptable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the XAP-15V-1 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. The following criteria determine substitution eligibility:

• Connector type must be receptacle
• Contact type must be female socket
• Position count must be 15
• Pitch must be 0.098" (2.50mm)
• Number of rows must be 1
• Mounting type must be free hanging (in-line)
• Contact termination must be crimp
• Fastening type must be latch lock
• RoHS3 compliance required
• MSL rating of 1 or better

The Molex 0511031500 meets all mandatory substitution criteria and is classified as a parametric equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the XAP-15V-1 and 0511031500 are active production parts with ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating 1. The Molex 0511031500 provides an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) compared to the JST part (-25°C to 85°C), making it suitable for applications requiring broader thermal performance. The insulation material differs between the two parts (PA66 versus PBTP), which may affect mechanical properties in specific environmental conditions. Both parts carry identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 15-position, 2.50mm pitch configuration with crimp termination and latch lock fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0511031500 be used as a direct replacement for the XAP-15V-1?

A: Yes, the Molex 0511031500 is a parametric equivalent. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and termination method. Physical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts is maintained.

Q: What are the differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are insulation material (PA66 versus PBTP), operating temperature range (-25°C to 85°C versus -40°C to 105°C), and housing color (natural versus white). Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and have unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of the Molex part affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended operating temperature range of the Molex 0511031500 does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. It indicates broader environmental capability and does not restrict use in applications within the original JST part's temperature specification.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the XAP-15V-1 and 0511031500 are housings only. Crimp contacts must be sourced separately and are compatible with both housing designs based on the 2.50mm pitch specification.

Q: What is the significance of the different insulation materials?

A: The XAP-15V-1 uses polyamide (PA66/Nylon 6/6) while the Molex part uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBTP). Both materials are suitable for connector housing applications. Material selection may influence mechanical properties such as stiffness and chemical resistance in specific environments.
