DEM9SDA101 D-Sub 9-Position Receptacle Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DEM9SDA101 is a 9-position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by ITT Cannon, LLC, designed for panel mount, through-hole, right-angle solder termination applications. This connector features female sockets with a DE/E shell size (1 position layout), gold-plated contacts, and operates across -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently active in production with 738 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent D-Sub receptacle connectors share the same core functional parameters: 9-position configuration, receptacle type with female sockets, DE/E shell size, right-angle mounting, and solder termination. Alternative sources provide design flexibility, supply chain redundancy, and compatibility with established connector standards.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the DEM9SDA101 are qualified based on the following mandatory alignment criteria:

• Connector Configuration: 9-position D-Sub receptacle with female sockets
• Shell Size: DE/E (Size 1) layout
• Mounting Style: Right-angle orientation with through-hole or panel mount capability
• Termination: Solder connection method
• Contact Type: Signal contacts with gold plating
• Flammability: UL94 V-0 rated dielectric material

The three identified substitutes (1-106505-2, 5-106505-2, and 8-1393480-1) all meet these core functional requirements. Variations exist in shell finish material, current rating, operating temperature ceiling, and regulatory compliance status, which are documented in the parameter comparison table below.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

DEM9SDA101 (Primary Part): Select when RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and maximum current capacity (7.5A) and full temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) are required. Yellow chromate cadmium plating provides corrosion resistance in specific environmental conditions.

1-106505-2 (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 Series, Tray Packaging): Select for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance with 6A current capacity and 125V voltage rating. Operating temperature is limited to -55°C to 105°C. Board lock feature provides mechanical retention. Tray packaging supports automated assembly processes.

5-106505-2 (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 Series, Bulk Packaging): Functionally equivalent to 1-106505-2 with identical electrical and thermal specifications. Bulk packaging reduces per-unit cost for high-volume applications. RoHS compliance status is vendor-undefined; verify with supplier before use in regulated applications.

8-1393480-1 (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 Series, Bulk Packaging): Select when full operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) matching the DEM9SDA101 is required and RoHS compliance is mandatory. Current rating is significantly reduced to 2.2A; this part is suitable only for low-current signal applications. Gray housing color differs from standard black. Board lock feature and copper alloy contacts align with original part characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-106505-2 or 5-106505-2 directly replace DEM9SDA101 in high-current applications?

A: No. Both TE Connectivity parts are rated for 6A maximum current, compared to DEM9SDA101's 7.5A rating. Applications requiring sustained current above 6A must use DEM9SDA101 or 8-1393480-1. Verify actual circuit current draw before substitution.

Q: What is the impact of the reduced operating temperature ceiling on 1-106505-2 and 5-106505-2?

A: These parts operate to 105°C maximum, versus 125°C for DEM9SDA101 and 8-1393480-1. Applications with sustained operating temperatures above 105°C require the higher-rated parts. Thermal cycling and peak transient temperatures must be evaluated separately.

Q: Are the TE Connectivity substitutes mechanically compatible with existing DEM9SDA101 footprints?

A: All four parts share DE/E shell size (Size 1), 9-position configuration, and right-angle solder termination. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed for PCB layout and panel cutout dimensions. Backset spacing varies slightly (0.406" for TE parts versus unspecified for DEM9SDA101); verify against mechanical drawings for precision applications.

Q: What is the significance of the shell finish material difference?

A: DEM9SDA101 uses yellow chromate plated cadmium; TE Connectivity substitutes use tin plating. Tin plating provides superior corrosion resistance in marine and high-humidity environments. Cadmium plating is restricted under RoHS regulations. Select based on environmental exposure and regulatory requirements.

Q: Why does 8-1393480-1 have a significantly lower current rating (2.2A)?

A: This part is designed for signal-level applications with lower current requirements. The reduced rating reflects internal contact geometry and material composition optimized for different use cases. Do not use in applications exceeding 2.2A continuous current.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best regulatory compliance profile?

A: 1-106505-2 and 5-106505-2 are ROHS3 compliant with defined REACH status. 8-1393480-1 is RoHS compliant. DEM9SDA101 is RoHS non-compliant. For regulated markets requiring environmental compliance certification, select TE Connectivity alternatives.

Q: Does packaging type affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. Tray packaging (1-106505-2) and bulk packaging (5-106505-2, 8-1393480-1) contain identical connector specifications. Packaging selection is driven by assembly process automation requirements and inventory management, not performance characteristics.
