FCC17E09PC240 D-Sub Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCC17E09PC240 is a 9-position D-Sub plug connector with right-angle solder termination manufactured by Amphenol ICC. This connector features male pins, through-hole mounting, and is designed for signal applications in industrial and commercial equipment. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility. Substitute parts must preserve the connector's core functional parameters: 9-position configuration, D-Sub shell size 1 (DE, E), right-angle mounting, solder termination, and signal-grade contact specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCC17E09PC240 are classified into two categories based on electrical and mechanical compatibility:

Category 1: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Direct Functional Equivalents)

The FCE17E09PC240, FCE17E09PC200, FCE17E09PC210, FCE17E09PC250, FCE17E09PC280, FCE17E09PC290, FCE17E09PC2D0, and FCE17E09PC2E0 are active-status alternatives from Amphenol ICC. These parts maintain identical core parameters: 9-position D-Sub configuration, shell size 1 (DE, E), right-angle through-hole mounting, solder termination, 5A current rating, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The primary distinction is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance (compliant versus non-compliant). The FCE17 series incorporates glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material compared to the standard thermoplastic in the FCC17 series. Voltage rating specifications are not provided for FCE17 variants.

Category 2: HARTING 09651626815 and 09651626816 (Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives)

The HARTING connectors 09651626815 and 09651626816 provide functional substitution with notable parameter variations. These parts share the 9-position D-Sub configuration, shell size 1 (DE, E), right-angle through-hole mounting, solder termination, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Differences include higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A), extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C), reduced backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), stamped contact form (versus machined), copper alloy contact material (versus phosphor bronze), and different flange features (M3 or 4-40 threaded versus unthreaded housing). HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.

Key Parameters Determining Substitution Eligibility:

9-position connector configuration
D-Sub shell size 1 (DE, E) layout
Right-angle through-hole mounting
Solder termination method
Signal-grade contact type
UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Thermoplastic dielectric material family

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17E09PC240, FCE17E09PC200, FCE17E09PC210, FCE17E09PC250, FCE17E09PC280, FCE17E09PC290, FCE17E09PC2D0, and FCE17E09PC2E0 represent the optimal substitution path for the obsolete FCC17E09PC240. These parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the core functional parameters: 9-position D-Sub configuration, shell size 1 (DE, E), right-angle through-hole solder termination, 5A current rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. All FCE17 variants are active-status products with RoHS compliance, addressing the obsolescence and regulatory compliance limitations of the original part. The FCE17 series incorporates enhanced dielectric material (glass-filled thermoplastic) compared to the standard thermoplastic in the FCC17 series, providing improved mechanical and thermal properties. Inventory availability across the FCE17 variants ranges from 748 to 1047 pieces, ensuring supply continuity.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING 09651626815 and 09651626816

The HARTING connectors 09651626815 and 09651626816 provide cross-manufacturer substitution for applications requiring extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) or higher current capacity (6.5A). These parts maintain the 9-position D-Sub configuration, shell size 1 (DE, E), right-angle through-hole mounting, and solder termination. HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. However, the reduced backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590") requires verification of PCB layout compatibility. The stamped contact form and copper alloy contact material differ from the machined phosphor bronze contacts in the Amphenol ICC parts. These differences do not preclude substitution but require confirmation that the application tolerates the parameter variations.

Compliance Considerations

For applications subject to RoHS directives, the FCE17 series (RoHS Compliant) or HARTING parts (ROHS3 Compliant) are required. The original FCC17E09PC240 is RoHS non-compliant and unsuitable for new designs or regulated applications. The FCE17 series provides direct functional equivalence with modern compliance status, making it the preferred choice for most applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17E09PC240 directly replace the FCC17E09PC240 without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. The FCE17E09PC240 maintains identical mounting footprint, backset spacing (0.590"), and solder termination specifications. No PCB layout changes are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the multiple FCE17E09PC variants (PC200, PC210, PC250, PC280, PC290, PC2D0, PC2E0)?

A: The provided data does not specify the functional differences between these variants. The suffix designations (PC200, PC210, etc.) indicate configuration or specification variations. Consult Amphenol ICC technical documentation for detailed differentiation.

Q: Are the HARTING 09651626815 and 09651626816 connectors pin-compatible with the FCC17E09PC240?

A: Both HARTING parts maintain the 9-position D-Sub configuration and shell size 1 (DE, E) layout, ensuring pin-to-pin compatibility. However, the reduced backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590") requires PCB layout verification to confirm mounting hole alignment.

Q: What is the significance of the glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric in the FCE17 series?

A: Glass-filled thermoplastic provides enhanced mechanical strength, improved thermal stability, and better dimensional consistency compared to standard thermoplastic. This material upgrade improves connector reliability and performance in demanding environments.

Q: Can I use HARTING connectors in applications originally designed for Amphenol ICC parts?

A: HARTING connectors are functionally compatible for 9-position D-Sub signal applications. However, the parameter differences (backset spacing, contact material, operating temperature range, current rating) require application-specific evaluation. Verify that the HARTING part's specifications meet or exceed the application's electrical and environmental requirements.

Q: Why is the FCC17E09PC240 classified as obsolete?

A: The FCC17E09PC240 is obsolete due to its RoHS non-compliant status and replacement by the active FCE17 series, which incorporates improved materials and regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: RoHS Compliant refers to compliance with the original Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. ROHS3 Compliant refers to compliance with the updated RoHS 3 Directive (2015/863/EU), which includes additional restricted substances. Both designations indicate compliance with hazardous substance restrictions; ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard.

Q: Are there inventory concerns with the FCE17 series substitutes?

A: No. Inventory levels for the FCE17 variants range from 748 to 1047 pieces, indicating adequate supply availability for production requirements.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness specification, and why does it matter?

A: The FCC17E09PC240 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold contact finish thickness. This thickness ensures adequate corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity over the connector's operational life. The FCE17 series maintains identical contact finish specifications.

Q: Can the FCC17E09PC240 be used in new product designs?

A: No. The FCC17E09PC240 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. New designs must utilize active alternatives such as the FCE17 series to ensure regulatory compliance and long-term supply availability.
