TE Connectivity AMP 1734592-9 FPC Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP 1734592-9 is a 9-position flat flexible connector (FPC) designed for surface mount, right-angle applications with 0.50mm pitch contacts. This connector features bottom-mounted contacts, solder termination, and zero insertion force (ZIF) operation with slide lock functionality. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance, and production continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity AMP 1734592-9 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 9
• Pitch: 0.020" (0.50mm)
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle
• Connector/Contact Type: Contacts, Bottom
• Termination: Solder
• FFC/FPC Thickness: 0.30mm
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish: Gold
• Housing Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variation Parameters: Substitute parts may differ in voltage rating, current rating, operating temperature range, locking mechanism type, actuator material, and product status, provided the mandatory parameters remain identical.

The GCT FFC2B35-09-G meets all mandatory matching criteria and is identified as a functional equivalent for the obsolete TE Connectivity AMP 1734592-9.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: GCT FFC2B35-09-G

The GCT FFC2B35-09-G is the identified equivalent for the obsolete TE Connectivity AMP 1734592-9. Both connectors share identical mechanical and electrical specifications for the core functional parameters: 9-position configuration, 0.50mm pitch, surface mount right-angle orientation, bottom-mounted contacts, solder termination, and LCP housing with gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts.

Compliance Status: Both the original part and substitute are RoHS compliant. The GCT FFC2B35-09-G carries ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements. Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Electrical Rating Considerations: The GCT substitute operates at reduced voltage (50V versus 250V) and current (0.4A versus 0.5A) ratings. Selection of the GCT FFC2B35-09-G is appropriate for applications operating within these electrical parameters. Applications requiring the full 250V or 0.5A ratings of the original part require alternative sourcing strategies.

Operating Temperature Consideration: The GCT substitute supports -25°C to 85°C operation, compared to the original -40°C to 85°C range. Applications requiring operation below -25°C require alternative component selection.

Mechanical Compatibility: Height above board differs by 0.05mm (2.05mm original versus 2.00mm substitute). This minimal variance is within typical PCB design tolerances for FPC connector applications.

Product Availability: The GCT FFC2B35-09-G is active production status with current inventory availability, providing supply continuity for the obsolete TE Connectivity AMP part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the GCT FFC2B35-09-G directly replace the TE Connectivity AMP 1734592-9 in all applications?

A: The GCT FFC2B35-09-G is mechanically and functionally compatible for applications operating within its electrical and temperature specifications. Applications requiring 250V operation or -40°C minimum temperature operation require verification against the GCT part's 50V and -25°C minimum ratings.

Q: What is the difference between the slide lock and flip lock mechanisms?

A: Both are locking features for FPC connectors. The original uses slide lock actuation; the substitute uses flip lock. Both provide secure cable retention. Mechanical interface with the mating FPC cable remains compatible due to identical contact geometry and positioning.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity AMP 1734592-9 packaging is not specified in available data. The GCT FFC2B35-09-G is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What is the significance of the 0.05mm height difference?

A: The GCT substitute is 0.05mm lower above the PCB (2.00mm versus 2.05mm). This difference is negligible for standard PCB design and does not affect connector functionality or mating performance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity AMP 1734592-9 is RoHS Compliant. The GCT FFC2B35-09-G is ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current and future regulatory requirements.

Q: What should I do if my application requires 250V operation?

A: The GCT FFC2B35-09-G is rated for 50V maximum. Applications requiring 250V operation cannot use this substitute. Consult alternative FPC connector sources or TE Connectivity for other equivalent options.

Q: Is the GCT part suitable for low-temperature applications below -25°C?

A: No. The GCT FFC2B35-09-G operating range begins at -25°C. Applications requiring -40°C operation must use the original TE Connectivity part or identify alternative suppliers with extended temperature ratings.
