DEME9SF D-Sub 9 Position Receptacle Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The DEME9SF is a 9 position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by ITT Cannon, LLC, featuring female sockets with right-angle solder termination and panel mount through-hole installation. This connector is actively produced and maintains 960 units in current inventory stock. D-Sub connectors of this configuration are widely used in industrial control systems, data acquisition equipment, and legacy electronic assemblies where standardized 9-pin serial or parallel communication interfaces are required. Equivalent and substitute parts become necessary when original stock is depleted, when alternative sourcing is required for supply chain optimization, or when design revisions call for enhanced compliance certifications or improved electrical performance characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the DEME9SF is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle, female sockets), number of positions (9), shell size and layout (1 / DE, E), mounting configuration (panel mount, through-hole, right-angle), and termination method (solder). All identified substitute parts maintain these core specifications, ensuring mechanical and electrical interchangeability at the connector interface level.

Secondary parameters including current rating, operating temperature range, shell material finish, contact finish, and flammability rating may vary within acceptable engineering tolerances. Substitutes are grouped based on their compliance status, contact material composition, and electrical performance ratings. The three substitute parts identified—1-106505-2, 5-106505-2, and 8-1393480-1—all satisfy the primary substitution criteria while offering different compliance profiles and performance characteristics suitable for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1-106505-2 (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 Series, Tray Packaging): This substitute provides ROHS3 compliance with a current rating of 6A and operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. The flange feature includes board lock functionality with 4-40 threaded mounting. This option is suitable for applications requiring modern environmental compliance standards while maintaining adequate electrical performance for standard signal-level applications. Inventory availability is 1990 units.

5-106505-2 (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 Series, Bulk Packaging): This variant offers identical electrical and compliance characteristics to 1-106505-2 with ROHS3 compliance and 6A current rating. The primary distinction is the unthreaded flange feature and bulk packaging format. This configuration is appropriate for high-volume production environments where board lock features are not required. Inventory availability is 999 units.

8-1393480-1 (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 Series, Bulk Packaging): This substitute maintains RoHS compliance and the full operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, matching the DEME9SF thermal specification. However, the current rating is reduced to 2.2A, which represents a significant limitation. This part is suitable only for low-current signal applications where the reduced amperage rating does not constrain system performance. The connector features board lock functionality and gray color finish. Inventory availability is 1827 units.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the DEME9SF be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Direct mechanical and electrical replacement is possible for all three substitutes at the connector interface level, provided the application current requirements do not exceed the substitute part's rating. The DEME9SF and all substitutes share identical connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, and termination method. However, differences in current rating, operating temperature range, and compliance status must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between 1-106505-2 and 5-106505-2?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series connectors with 6A current rating and ROHS3 compliance. The distinction is packaging format (tray versus bulk) and flange feature design (4-40 threaded versus unthreaded). Selection depends on assembly process requirements and whether board lock functionality is necessary for the application.

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

A: The 8-1393480-1 employs a different internal contact geometry and dielectric material composition (PBT/Polyester blend versus polyester glass-filled) that results in reduced current-carrying capacity. This part is suitable only for applications where signal-level currents are required and high-current power distribution is not a design requirement.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The DEME9SF is RoHS non-compliant. Both 1-106505-2 and 5-106505-2 are ROHS3 compliant. The 8-1393480-1 is RoHS compliant. If RoHS compliance is a design requirement, any of the three substitutes satisfy this criterion. If legacy non-compliant sourcing is required, the DEME9SF remains the appropriate selection.

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

A: These parts are rated to -55°C to 105°C, compared to the DEME9SF specification of -55°C to 125°C. The upper temperature limit is reduced by 20°C. Applications operating above 105°C require either the DEME9SF or 8-1393480-1, which maintains the full -55°C to 125°C range.

Q: How do shell material differences affect connector performance?

A: The DEME9SF uses yellow chromate-plated zinc, while all substitutes use tin-plated steel. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance suitable for industrial environments. Tin plating offers superior solderability and is the modern standard. Yellow chromate plating is a legacy finish. Material finish selection does not affect electrical performance but may influence environmental durability and manufacturing process compatibility.
