FCC17E09AD480 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCC17E09AD480 is a D-Sub adapter connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This connector functions as a gender changer, converting D-Sub 9 Pin Male connections to D-Sub 9 Pin Female connections in a free-hanging (in-line) configuration. The adapter incorporates integrated filtering and is housed in a black steel shell with tin plating and gold-plated contacts.

The FCC17E09AD480 carries an obsolete product status. Identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability for system maintenance, repair, and new production applications where this connector type is specified.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FCC17E09AD480 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Functional Parameters:

Connector gender conversion (9 Pin Female to 9 Pin Male)
Free-hanging (in-line) mounting configuration
Integrated filter feature
Connector saver style design

Electrical Parameters:

Current rating of 5 A
Gold contact finish with 15.0µin thickness
Operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C

Mechanical Parameters:

Steel shell with tin plating
Black housing color
2-row pin arrangement

Compliance Parameters:

UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Moisture Sensitivity Level 1

Parts meeting all these criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance do not affect functional or electrical equivalence but may influence procurement and regulatory requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FCE17E09AD480 is a direct functional and electrical equivalent to the FCC17E09AD480. All critical parameters—connector configuration, electrical ratings, operating temperature range, contact specifications, and flammability certification—are identical between the two parts.

The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance:

FCC17E09AD480 (Main Part): Obsolete status with RoHS non-compliant designation. This part remains available in inventory (818 units) but is no longer in active production.

FCE17E09AD480 (Substitute): Active product status with RoHS compliant designation. This part is in current production with higher inventory availability (889 units).

For new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations, the FCE17E09AD480 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not a requirement, either part satisfies the functional specification. The FCE17 series represents the current production equivalent of the FCC17 series within the Amphenol ICC connector saver product line.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17E09AD480 be used as a direct replacement for the FCC17E09AD480?

A: Yes. The FCE17E09AD480 meets all functional, electrical, and mechanical specifications of the FCC17E09AD480. Both parts provide identical D-Sub 9 Pin Female to 9 Pin Male conversion with integrated filtering, 5 A current rating, and UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: What is the difference between the FCC17 and FCE17 series?

A: The FCC17 series is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The FCE17 series is the active production equivalent with RoHS compliance. Both series share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for equivalent part numbers.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues when substituting the FCE17E09AD480 for the FCC17E09AD480?

A: No compatibility issues exist. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. Both feature identical pin configurations, contact finishes, shell materials, and operating parameters.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect the performance of the FCE17E09AD480?

A: RoHS compliance does not alter electrical performance or mechanical function. The FCE17E09AD480 maintains the same 5 A current rating, contact specifications, and operating temperature range as the FCC17E09AD480.

Q: What is the connector saver style design?

A: The connector saver style is a protective adapter design that reduces wear on primary connectors by serving as an intermediary connection point. This design extends the operational life of expensive or frequently connected equipment.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same environmental conditions?

A: Yes. Both the FCC17E09AD480 and FCE17E09AD480 operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: What does the integrated filter feature provide?

A: The integrated filter reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) on the D-Sub signal lines, improving signal integrity in applications requiring noise suppression.
