Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 172-009-182-021 are grouped based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Connector Style: D-Sub
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 9
• Number of Rows: 2
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 1 (DE, E)
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Type: Signal
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Mounting Type: Panel Mount or Through Hole configurations
• Shell Material and Finish: Steel with plating options
• RoHS and REACH Compliance Status
• Product Status: Active or equivalent status

Substitutes are identified where these core parameters align, allowing direct replacement in circuit board layouts and mating interface applications. Variations in current rating, contact finish thickness, and flange features are noted but do not preclude substitution when electrical and mechanical envelope requirements are met.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent (Highest Compatibility): The 172-009-183L021 from NorComp Inc. is the direct equivalent to the 172-009-182-021. Both are part of the NorComp 172 series, share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, and are ROHS3 compliant with Active product status. This part is preferred for direct replacement applications.

Panel Mount Compatible Substitutes: The SDEB-9P(55) and SDEG-9PF(55) from Hirose Electric Co Ltd maintain panel mount capability alongside through-hole termination. Both are ROHS3 compliant and Active status. The SDEG-9PF(55) includes grounding indents and is noted as Last Time Buy, indicating limited future availability.

Through-Hole Vertical Mount Alternatives: The HARTING parts (09651696712, 09661216703, 09661217703, 09670095654, 09670095655) are configured for vertical through-hole mounting. These parts are ROHS3 compliant and Active status. The 09661216703 and 09661217703 feature mating-side female screwlock flanges, while 09670095654 and 09670095655 have unthreaded housing flanges. Selection among these depends on specific flange and mounting requirements.

Current Rating Considerations: Applications requiring current ratings above 5A should reference HARTING parts rated at 6.5A or 7.5A. Applications with current requirements below 3A may use Hirose parts. The main part and direct equivalent are rated at 5A.

Compliance and Availability: All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance. Inventory levels range from 673 to 1093 units across substitute options, providing supply flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 172-009-183L021 be used as a direct replacement for the 172-009-182-021? A: Yes. Both parts are from NorComp Inc.'s 172 series with identical connector configuration, electrical ratings, and mechanical specifications. The 172-009-183L021 is packaged in Tray format versus the main part's standard packaging.

Q: What is the primary difference between NorComp and HARTING D-Sub 9-position plugs in this comparison? A: NorComp parts (172-009-182-021 and 172-009-183L021) are configured for panel mount with through-hole termination. HARTING parts are primarily through-hole vertical mount connectors with varying flange configurations. Hirose parts (SDEB-9P(55) and SDEG-9PF(55)) support both panel mount and through-hole termination.

Q: Are there current rating differences between the main part and substitutes? A: Yes. The main part and direct equivalent are rated at 5A. HARTING parts range from 6.5A to 7.5A, providing higher current capacity. Hirose parts are rated at 3A, suitable for lower-current signal applications.

Q: What does "Last Time Buy" status mean for the SDEG-9PF(55)? A: Last Time Buy indicates that Hirose Electric Co Ltd will discontinue this part after current inventory is depleted. While currently available with 1093 units in stock, long-term availability is limited. For new designs, the Active status parts are recommended.

Q: Can HARTING vertical-mount connectors replace panel-mount configurations? A: HARTING parts are designed for vertical through-hole mounting and lack the panel mount flange of the main part. Physical board layout and mounting hole patterns differ. These parts are suitable only where vertical through-hole mounting is specified.

Q: Are all listed substitutes RoHS compliant? A: All parts listed are RoHS compliant. The main part, direct equivalent, and most substitutes are ROHS3 compliant. The SDEG-9PF(55) is RoHS compliant without the ROHS3 designation.

Q: What packaging options are available? A: The main part uses standard packaging. The 172-009-183L021 is supplied in Tray format. HARTING parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Hirose parts (SDEB-9P(55) and SDEG-9PF(55)) are supplied in Tray format.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability? A: Parts with Active product status offer the best long-term availability. The 172-009-183L021 (direct equivalent), all HARTING parts, and SDEB-9P(55) are Active status. The SDEG-9PF(55) is Last Time Buy and should be avoided for new designs requiring long-term supply.
