171-009-202-011 D-Sub Receptacle 9 Position Panel Mount Connector

Part Overview

The 171-009-202-011 is a 9 position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by NorComp Inc., designed for panel mount applications with female socket contacts. This connector is part of the 171 series and provides signal-level connectivity in standard DE shell size configuration. The part is currently in active production with 955 units available in new original stock condition.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required, or when design specifications allow for compatible alternatives from different manufacturers that meet the same electrical and mechanical requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 171-009-202-011 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector style: D-Sub
• Connector type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of positions: 9
• Number of rows: 2
• Shell size: 1 (DE, E)
• Termination method: Solder Cup
• Contact finish: Gold

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Shell material and finish: Steel with plating
• Material flammability: UL94 V-0
• Current rating: Minimum 3A per contact
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass or exceed -50°C to 100°C

The substitute parts listed below meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in mounting type (panel mount versus free hanging), contact material composition, and specific temperature extremes are noted where they differ from the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

171-009-203L011 (NorComp Inc.): This part is the closest direct equivalent, manufactured by the same supplier as the main part. It maintains identical electrical specifications, operating temperature range, and RoHS3 compliance. The primary difference is packaging format (Tray versus unspecified). This substitute is suitable for direct replacement in all applications where the 171-009-202-011 is specified.

628-009-222-041 and 628-009-222-042 (Mercury United Electronics, Inc.): These parts are functionally compatible D-Sub 9 position receptacles with solder cup termination and gold-plated contacts. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance. The key differences are: (1) mounting type is free hanging (in-line) rather than panel mount, (2) current rating is 3A per contact versus 5A, and (3) operating temperature range is -55°C to 85°C, which does not extend to the full 100°C upper limit. These parts are suitable substitutes only for applications where panel mount is not required and current requirements do not exceed 3A per contact.

M24308/1-1F (Cinch Connectivity Solutions): This military-grade connector meets panel mount requirements and maintains 5A current rating with extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C). However, it is RoHS non-compliant and uses yellow chromate plated cadmium finish rather than nickel plating. This part is suitable only for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated and military specification compliance is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 171-009-203L011 be used as a direct replacement for 171-009-202-011?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by NorComp Inc., share identical connector specifications (9 position D-Sub receptacle, panel mount, solder cup termination), and maintain the same electrical ratings and operating temperature range. The only difference is packaging format.

Q: Why do the Mercury United Electronics parts (628-009-222-041 and 628-009-222-042) have lower current ratings?

A: The 628 series parts are rated at 3A per contact compared to 5A for the 171 series. This is a design characteristic of the Mercury product line and must be considered when selecting substitutes for applications requiring higher current capacity.

Q: Can the 628-009-222-041 or 628-009-222-042 be used in a panel mount application?

A: No. These parts are specified as free hanging (in-line) connectors, not panel mount. The 171-009-203L011 or M24308/1-1F are the appropriate panel mount alternatives.

Q: Is the M24308/1-1F suitable for commercial applications?

A: The M24308/1-1F is RoHS non-compliant, which restricts its use in applications subject to RoHS regulations. It is designed for military applications where MIL-C-24308 compliance is required. For commercial applications requiring RoHS compliance, use 171-009-203L011, 628-009-222-041, or 628-009-222-042.

Q: What is the difference between the 628-009-222-041 and 628-009-222-042?

A: Both parts are identical in electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference is packaging: 628-009-222-041 is supplied in Tray packaging, while 628-009-222-042 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Selection depends on inventory management and handling requirements.

Q: Does operating temperature range affect substitution eligibility?

A: Operating temperature range is a critical parameter. The 171-009-202-011 operates from -50°C to 100°C. The 628 series parts operate from -55°C to 85°C, which does not meet the upper temperature requirement. The M24308/1-1F operates from -65°C to 125°C, which exceeds the requirement. Verify application temperature requirements before selecting a substitute.
