NorComp 171-009-212-911 D-Sub Receptacle Connector: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The NorComp 171-009-212-911 is a 9-position D-Sub receptacle connector with female sockets, designed for panel mount, through-hole solder termination applications. This connector features a 2-row configuration with shell size 1 (DE, E) layout and is constructed with steel nickel-plated shell and gold-flashed contacts. With 1099 pieces in current stock inventory, this part remains actively available for immediate deployment in electronic assemblies requiring standard D-Sub connectivity.

Substitute parts are necessary when original inventory becomes depleted, when alternative packaging formats are required for manufacturing processes, or when design flexibility permits selection from qualified equivalent components meeting identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance with unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage protocols.

Primary Substitute - Direct Manufacturer Match: NorComp 171-009-213R911 provides direct manufacturer continuity with identical electrical specifications and expanded inventory availability (3858 pieces). This part differs only in packaging format (Tray vs. original specification) and flange feature configuration (Board Side 4-40 vs. original specification). Selection of this part eliminates cross-manufacturer qualification requirements.

Secondary Substitutes - HARTING Equivalents: HARTING parts 09661116501, 09661116502, 09661117501, 09661117502, 09661156501, 09661157501, 09661157502, and 09661516512 meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. These parts demonstrate higher current ratings (6.5A vs. 5A) and extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C vs. -50°C to 100°C), providing enhanced performance margins. HARTING parts with gold contact finish (09661156501, 09661157501, 09661157502) offer direct contact metallurgy alignment with the original part.

Packaging Considerations: Bulk packaging is available from HARTING (09661116501, 09661117501, 09661117502, 09661156501, 09661157501, 09661157502). Tray packaging is available from NorComp (171-009-213R911) and HARTING (09661116502, 09661516512). Manufacturing process requirements determine optimal packaging selection.

Flange Feature Variations: Original part specifies Board Side (4-40) flange. Substitute parts offer Housing/Shell (M3) or Housing/Shell (4-40) configurations. Mechanical compatibility with panel mounting hardware must be verified during design integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HARTING parts directly replace the NorComp 171-009-212-911 without design modification?

A: HARTING parts meet all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters (9-position, 2-row, D-Sub receptacle, female sockets, solder termination, UL94 V-0, ROHS3 compliant). However, flange feature differences (Housing/Shell vs. Board Side) may require mechanical verification for panel mounting compatibility. Contact finish variations (unspecified vs. gold) are acceptable for signal-level applications.

Q: What is the difference between the NorComp 171-009-212-911 and 171-009-213R911?

A: Both parts are manufactured by NorComp with identical electrical specifications. The primary differences are packaging format (original is unspecified; 171-009-213R911 is Tray) and flange feature configuration (original is Board Side 4-40; 171-009-213R911 is Board Side 4-40). Inventory availability differs significantly (1099 vs. 3858 pieces).

Q: Are HARTING parts with higher current ratings (6.5A) suitable for 5A applications?

A: Yes. Higher current ratings provide additional performance margin and are suitable for applications rated at 5A or lower. No design modification is required.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish differences (Gold vs. unspecified)?

A: Gold contact finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance and is specified for the original NorComp part. HARTING parts with unspecified contact finish are acceptable for standard signal-level applications. HARTING parts 09661156501, 09661157501, and 09661157502 specify gold contact finish, providing direct metallurgical alignment.

Q: Do operating temperature range differences affect substitution eligibility?

A: The original part operates from -50°C to 100°C. HARTING substitutes operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing extended temperature capability. This wider range is acceptable for applications within the original temperature specification and does not require design modification.

Q: What packaging format should be selected for high-volume manufacturing?

A: Tray packaging (NorComp 171-009-213R911, HARTING 09661116502, HARTING 09661516512) is optimized for automated assembly processes. Bulk packaging (HARTING 09661116501, 09661117501, 09661117502, 09661156501, 09661157501, 09661157502) is suitable for manual assembly or lower-volume applications. Manufacturing equipment compatibility determines optimal selection.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1), meeting standard environmental and storage requirements.
