Engineering Selection Recommendations

The NorComp 172-009-283L021 serves as the direct equivalent to the 172-009-282-021, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the exception of packaging format (Tray versus standard packaging) and increased current rating (6.5A versus 5A). This part is recommended as the primary substitute when the main part becomes unavailable, as it is manufactured by the same supplier and maintains full compatibility.

HARTING D-Sub receptacles (09661116501, 09661116502, 09661117501, 09661117502, 09661156501, 09661156502, 09661157501, 09661157502, 09661516512) are compatible alternatives that maintain core D-Sub receptacle specifications. These parts differ in mounting configuration (housing/shell flange versus board-side flange), contact finish specifications, and dielectric material composition. Parts 09661156501, 09661156502, 09661157501, and 09661157502 feature gold-plated contacts matching the main part specification. Parts 09661116501, 09661116502, 09661117501, 09661117502, and 09661516512 do not specify contact finish but maintain the required UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance.

Part 09661156502 carries an Obsolete product status and should be avoided for new designs. All active-status alternatives are suitable for applications requiring 9-position D-Sub receptacle connectors with solder termination and UL94 V-0 compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NorComp 172-009-283L021 directly replace the 172-009-282-021?

A: Yes. Both parts are 9-position D-Sub receptacles with identical connector type, shell size, termination method, and compliance ratings. The 172-009-283L021 offers higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A) and is supplied in Tray packaging.

Q: What is the primary difference between NorComp and HARTING substitutes?

A: NorComp parts maintain panel mount configuration with board-side flange (4-40). HARTING alternatives use through-hole mounting with housing/shell flange (M3 or 4-40). Both configurations are mechanically compatible with 9-position D-Sub receptacle applications.

Q: Are HARTING parts without specified contact finish compatible with the gold-plated main part?

A: HARTING parts 09661116501, 09661116502, 09661117501, 09661117502, and 09661516512 do not specify contact finish in the provided data. For applications requiring gold-plated contacts, use HARTING parts 09661156501, 09661156502, 09661157501, or 09661157502.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range difference?

A: The main part operates from -50°C to 125°C. HARTING substitutes operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing extended low-temperature capability. This difference does not prevent substitution in applications within the -50°C to 125°C range.

Q: Should part 09661156502 be used in new designs?

A: No. Part 09661156502 carries Obsolete product status. For new designs, select from active-status alternatives including 09661156501, 09661157501, 09661157502, or the NorComp 172-009-283L021.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitutes?

A: NorComp 172-009-283L021 is supplied in Tray packaging. HARTING parts are available in Bulk or Tray packaging depending on the specific part number. Verify packaging requirements with supplier documentation.

Q: Are all substitutes ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitutes maintain ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for applications requiring RoHS-compliant components.
