Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 17HD044PAA000 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. The substitute part 10090769-P444ALF maintains functional equivalence through the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Identical connector style (D-Sub, High Density)
• Identical connector type (Plug, Male Pins)
• Identical position count (44 positions)
• Identical row configuration (3 rows)
• Identical shell size and layout (3 DB, B High Density)
• Identical mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Identical shell material and finish (Steel, Nickel Plated)
• Identical flange feature (Housing/Shell, Unthreaded)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Identical termination method (Solder Cup)
• Identical contact finish (Gold, Flash)
• Identical operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C)
• Identical material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Identical dielectric material (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled)
• Identical contact material (Copper Alloy)

Functional Differences: The substitute part operates at a higher voltage rating (250V versus 125V) and slightly lower current rating per contact (2.5A versus 3A), representing enhanced electrical performance characteristics suitable for the same mechanical interface.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 10090769-P444ALF serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete 17HD044PAA000. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and compliance requirements:

For RoHS-Compliant Applications: The 10090769-P444ALF is the required selection, as it meets RoHS compliance standards. The 17HD044PAA000 is RoHS non-compliant and unsuitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

For Non-RoHS Applications: Either part may be selected based on electrical requirements. The 10090769-P444ALF provides enhanced voltage rating (250V versus 125V), offering greater electrical margin in applications operating below 125V. The 17HD044PAA000 provides higher current rating per contact (3A versus 2.5A) for applications requiring maximum current capacity within the 125V specification.

For New Production: The 10090769-P444ALF is the preferred selection due to active product status and superior inventory availability (2719 units versus 965 units). This part ensures long-term supply continuity and compliance with modern regulatory frameworks.

For Field Service and Retrofit: The 17HD044PAA000 remains available for direct replacement in existing installations where RoHS compliance is not mandated and the original electrical specifications are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are these connectors mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both the 17HD044PAA000 and 10090769-P444ALF share identical mechanical specifications: 44-position D-Sub high-density plug configuration, 3-row layout, solder cup termination, and free-hanging mounting. They are directly interchangeable at the mechanical interface level.

Q: What is the difference in electrical ratings between these parts?

A: The 10090769-P444ALF operates at 250V with 2.5A per contact, while the 17HD044PAA000 operates at 125V with 3A per contact. Applications operating below 125V may use either part. Applications requiring 3A per contact must use the 17HD044PAA000. Applications requiring 250V operation must use the 10090769-P444ALF.

Q: Why is the 17HD044PAA000 marked as obsolete?

A: The 17HD044PAA000 is classified as obsolete by the manufacturer. The 10090769-P444ALF is the active replacement part. For new designs and production, the 10090769-P444ALF should be specified.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect connector performance?

A: RoHS compliance affects material composition and manufacturing processes but does not alter electrical or mechanical performance. Both parts meet identical performance specifications for voltage, current, temperature range, and flammability rating.

Q: What packaging is available for each part?

A: The 17HD044PAA000 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 10090769-P444ALF is supplied in tray packaging.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across the identical temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.

Q: Which part should be selected for new equipment design?

A: The 10090769-P444ALF should be selected for new equipment design. It is an active product with superior inventory availability and RoHS compliance, ensuring design longevity and regulatory alignment.
