172-E09-102-001 D-Sub 9-Position Plug Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 172-E09-102-001 is a 9-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by NorComp Inc., designed for panel mount applications with male pins and solder cup termination. This connector is part of the 172-E series and is actively stocked with 1,159 units available. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters: 9-position configuration, D-Sub shell size 1 (DE, E), male pin orientation, solder cup termination, and signal contact type.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

172-E09-103R001 is the primary direct equivalent, manufactured by NorComp Inc. with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. This part maintains panel mount configuration and is recommended for direct replacement when supply of the original part is constrained.

161A10019X, 163A11069X, 163A11269X, and 4STD09PCM99A10X are cross-manufacturer substitutes suitable when panel mount variants are unavailable. Selection among these alternatives depends on application-specific requirements:

161A10019X: Suitable for applications requiring extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and 125V voltage rating. Free hanging configuration requires mechanical redesign if panel mount is mandatory.
163A11069X and 163A11269X: Provide extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), 125V voltage rating, and IP20 ingress protection. 163A11269X features cable-side flange (4-40) versus housing-side flange on 163A11069X. Both require free hanging installation.
4STD09PCM99A10X: Offers highest ingress protection (IP67 - dust tight, waterproof) with thicker gold contact finish (30.0µin vs. 8.00µin on alternatives). Operating temperature range (-25°C to 105°C) is narrower than Amphenol 163A series. Free hanging configuration applies.

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and ROHS3 certification, ensuring regulatory equivalence with the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 172-E09-103R001 be used as a direct replacement for 172-E09-102-001?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by NorComp Inc., share identical 9-position D-Sub plug configuration, panel mount design, solder cup termination, and operating specifications. The primary difference is packaging format (Tray vs. unspecified).

Q: What is the key difference between the NorComp parts and Amphenol CONEC substitutes?

A: NorComp parts (172-E09-102-001 and 172-E09-103R001) are panel mount connectors. All Amphenol CONEC substitutes (161A10019X, 163A11069X, 163A11269X, 4STD09PCM99A10X) are free hanging (in-line) connectors. This mounting type difference requires mechanical redesign if panel mount installation is required.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best environmental protection?

A: 4STD09PCM99A10X provides IP67 ingress protection (dust tight, waterproof), compared to IP20 on 163A11069X and 163A11269X, and no specified ingress protection on 161A10019X. Selection depends on application exposure requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts (172-E09-103R001, 161A10019X, 163A11069X, 163A11269X, 4STD09PCM99A10X) are ROHS3 compliant and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ensuring regulatory equivalence.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness among substitutes?

A: 172-E09-103R001 specifies flash thickness. Amphenol 161A10019X, 163A11069X, and 163A11269X specify 8.00µin (0.203µm). 4STD09PCM99A10X specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm), providing thicker gold plating for enhanced contact durability and corrosion resistance.

Q: Can I use a substitute with a different operating temperature range?

A: Substitution is permissible only if the application operating temperature falls within the substitute part's rated range. 163A11069X, 163A11269X, and 161A10019X support extended range (-55°C to 125°C) versus the original part's -50°C to 100°C. 4STD09PCM99A10X operates -25°C to 105°C, which is narrower than the original specification.

Q: What mounting modifications are required if switching from 172-E09-102-001 to an Amphenol substitute?

A: The original part is panel mount; all Amphenol substitutes are free hanging (in-line). Mechanical redesign of the connector mounting interface is required. Cable-side attachment points must be established, and panel cutout modifications may be necessary.

Q: Are all parts available in equivalent packaging quantities?

A: Packaging varies. 172-E09-103R001 is supplied in Tray. 161A10019X and 4STD09PCM99A10X are supplied in Bulk. 163A11069X and 163A11269X are supplied in Tray. Verify packaging compatibility with procurement and assembly processes.
