Omron XM2E-1540-112L D-Sub Plug 15-Position Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Omron XM2E-1540-112L is a 15-position D-Sub plug connector with male pins, designed for through-hole solder termination. This connector features a vertical mounting orientation, mating-side female screwlock (M2.6), and is rated for 3A at 300V. The product is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for legacy system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the XM2E-1540-112L are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Connector Type & Positions: All substitutes must be D-Sub plug connectors with 15 positions and 2 rows to maintain pin-to-pin compatibility with mating receptacles.
• Shell Size / Connector Layout: All substitutes maintain the 2 (DA, A) shell size specification.
• Termination Method: All substitutes use solder termination, compatible with through-hole PCB assembly processes.
• Material Flammability Rating: All substitutes meet UL94 V-0 specification.
• Dielectric Material: All substitutes use polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) or PBT-based compounds.
• Contact Material & Finish: All substitutes use copper alloy or brass contacts with gold or gold-palladium finish.
• Compliance: All substitutes are RoHS3 compliant or RoHS compliant.

The primary difference between the main part and substitutes is the mounting orientation: the XM2E-1540-112L uses vertical mounting, while all HARTING substitutes employ right-angle (R/A) mounting. This difference requires PCB layout modification but maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility through the same shell size and pin configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four HARTING substitute parts (09682635811, 09682635812, 09682637811, 09682637812) are functionally equivalent to the Omron XM2E-1540-112L for D-Sub 15-position plug applications. Selection among these substitutes is based on flange feature requirements and current application needs:

Flange Feature Differentiation:

• 09682635811 and 09682637811: Housing/Shell flange with M3 mounting specification
• 09682635812 and 09682637812: Housing/Shell flange with 4-40 mounting specification

Contact Finish Specification:

• 09682635811 and 09682635812: Gold or Gold-Palladium contact finish, 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness specified
• 09682637811 and 09682637812: Contact finish not specified in documentation

All HARTING substitutes are active products with ROHS3 compliance, providing superior long-term availability compared to the obsolete Omron part. The higher current rating (6.5A versus 3A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -20°C to 105°C) of HARTING parts provide additional design margin for legacy system applications.

The primary design consideration is the transition from vertical to right-angle mounting orientation, which requires PCB layout modification but maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical shell size, pin count, and solder termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HARTING substitutes directly replace the Omron XM2E-1540-112L without PCB modification?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained through identical shell size (2 DA, A), 15-position pin configuration, and solder termination. However, the mounting orientation differs: the Omron part uses vertical mounting while HARTING substitutes use right-angle mounting. PCB footprint modification is required to accommodate this orientation change.

Q: What is the difference between the four HARTING substitute part numbers?

A: The four HARTING parts differ in two specifications: flange feature (M3 versus 4-40 mounting) and contact finish documentation. Parts 09682635811 and 09682635812 specify gold or gold-palladium contact finish at 30.0µin thickness. Parts 09682637811 and 09682637812 do not specify contact finish in available documentation. Selection depends on your specific flange mounting requirements and contact finish specifications.

Q: Are the HARTING substitutes suitable for applications requiring the original 3A current rating?

A: Yes. All HARTING substitutes are rated for 6.5A, which exceeds the original 3A requirement. The higher current rating provides additional design margin and does not create compatibility issues for applications designed for 3A operation.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between the original part and substitutes?

A: The Omron XM2E-1540-112L operates from -20°C to 105°C. All HARTING substitutes operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing a wider temperature range suitable for extended environmental conditions. This does not affect compatibility for applications within the original temperature specification.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The original Omron part is RoHS compliant. All four HARTING substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements with enhanced compliance status.

Q: What is the backset spacing specification for HARTING substitutes?

A: All HARTING substitutes specify 0.318" (8.08mm) backset spacing, which is standard for 15-position D-Sub connectors and maintains compatibility with mating receptacles designed for this specification.
