Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 17EBH044SAM210 are identified based on strict alignment with critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitution logic is structured as follows:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector style: D-Sub, High Density
• Connector type: Receptacle with female sockets
• Number of positions: 44
• Number of rows: 3
• Shell size: 3 (DB, B) High Density
• Mounting type: Through hole, right angle
• Termination: Solder
• Current rating: 3A minimum
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C minimum
• Contact finish: Gold
• Shell material: Steel, nickel plated
• RoHS compliance: Active status

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Backset spacing: 0.350" (8.89mm)
• Flange feature: Mating side female screwlock (4-40)
• Contact type: Signal
• Dielectric material: Glass-filled thermoplastic
• Contact material: Copper alloy or phosphor bronze

The substitute part 634-044-563-042 from Mercury United Electronics, Inc. meets all primary substitution criteria and maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the main part number.

The substitute part 09565517513 from HARTING does not qualify as a direct substitute due to differing position count (78 vs. 44), row configuration (4 vs. 3), shell size (5 vs. 3), and reduced current rating (2A vs. 3A).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitute: 634-044-563-042 (Mercury United Electronics, Inc.)

The Mercury part number 634-044-563-042 qualifies as a direct substitute for the Amphenol ICC 17EBH044SAM210. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications (3A current rating, -55°C to 105°C operating range), mechanical configuration (44 positions, 3 rows, DB/B shell size, right-angle through-hole mounting), and termination method (solder). Both parts are RoHS compliant and maintain MSL 1 rating. The Mercury connector includes additional shielding features and panel mount capability, providing enhanced functionality without compromising core compatibility. Contact finish thickness differs (10.0µin vs. 30.0µin), with the Amphenol part providing thicker gold plating; however, both exceed minimum contact durability requirements for signal applications.

Non-Qualifying Substitute: 09565517513 (HARTING)

The HARTING part number 09565517513 does not qualify as a substitute for the 17EBH044SAM210. Critical parameter mismatches include: 78 positions versus 44 positions, 4-row configuration versus 3-row configuration, DD/D shell size (5) versus DB/B shell size (3), and reduced current rating of 2A versus 3A. The operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) is narrower than the main part specification. These differences preclude direct substitution and would require significant design modifications.

Compliance and Regulatory Status

All three connectors maintain active product status with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1). The Amphenol and Mercury parts are fully RoHS compliant. The HARTING part carries ROHS3 compliance with REACH unaffected status. All parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Mercury 634-044-563-042 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol 17EBH044SAM210?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical position count (44), row configuration (3), shell size (DB/B, size 3), mounting type (through-hole right angle), termination method (solder), and current rating (3A). Operating temperature ranges are identical (-55°C to 105°C). Both maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating. The Mercury part includes additional shielding and panel mount capability without affecting core compatibility.

Q: Why is the HARTING 09565517513 not a suitable substitute?

A: The HARTING connector differs in four critical parameters: position count (78 vs. 44), row configuration (4 vs. 3), shell size (5 vs. 3), and current rating (2A vs. 3A). These differences represent fundamental design changes that would require PCB layout modifications and cannot be accommodated through simple component swapping.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness differences between the Amphenol and Mercury parts?

A: The Amphenol part specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating, while the Mercury part specifies 10.0µin (0.25µm). Both thicknesses exceed minimum requirements for signal-level applications and provide adequate corrosion resistance. The thicker Amphenol plating may offer extended service life in high-cycle mating environments; however, both are acceptable for standard applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and the Mercury substitute?

A: The Amphenol part is supplied in standard packaging, while the Mercury part is supplied in tray packaging. Both maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Tray packaging may offer handling advantages in automated assembly environments.

Q: What is the difference between the flange features on the Amphenol and Mercury connectors?

A: The Amphenol part features a mating-side female screwlock (4-40), while the Mercury part features a housing/shell-mounted screwlock (4-40). Both provide equivalent mechanical retention and mounting security. The housing-mounted design on the Mercury part may offer simplified panel integration in certain applications.

Q: Do all three connectors share the same ECCN and HTSUS classifications?

A: Yes. All three connectors are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040, indicating identical export control and tariff treatment.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The Amphenol 17EBH044SAM210 has 1121 units in stock. The Mercury 634-044-563-042 has 1611 units in stock. The HARTING 09565517513 has 1808 units in stock. All parts maintain active product status with current availability.
