FCC17E09PM400 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCC17E09PM400 is a 9-position D-Sub plug connector with male pins manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This connector features solder cup termination, steel tin-plated shell, and gold-plated contacts rated for 5A at 200V. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent and substitute components for ongoing applications and new designs. Substitute parts must maintain functional compatibility across connector style, position count, termination method, and electrical ratings.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCC17E09PM400 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

Connector style must be D-Sub
Connector type must be Plug with Male Pins
Position count must be 9
Row configuration must be 2
Shell size and layout must be 1 (DE, E)
Termination method must be Solder Cup
Contact finish must be Gold
Material flammability rating must be UL94 V-0

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

Current rating must equal or exceed 5A
Voltage rating must equal or exceed 200V

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FCE17E09PM400 (Amphenol ICC)

The FCE17E09PM400 is the primary substitute for the FCC17E09PM400. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and share identical connector specifications, electrical ratings, and operating temperature ranges. The FCE17E09PM400 is active in production status and RoHS compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the obsolete FCC17E09PM400 does not meet. The dielectric material differs (glass-filled thermoplastic versus standard thermoplastic), which does not impact functional compatibility. This part is suitable for direct replacement in new designs and legacy system updates.

DEM-9PR (JAE Electronics)

The DEM-9PR satisfies all primary compatibility criteria and is active in production. This part differs in mounting configuration (panel mount versus free hanging), which requires mechanical redesign consideration. The operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 120°C) exceeds the original specification. The shell finish is clear chromate plated zinc rather than tin plated. Selection of this part is appropriate when panel mount configuration aligns with application requirements.

M24308/3-1Z (Positronic)

The M24308/3-1Z is a military-grade D-Sub connector conforming to MIL-DTL-24308 specification. This part exceeds the electrical ratings of the FCC17E09PM400 (7.5A current, 1700V voltage) and operates across an extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 150°C). The contact finish thickness is thicker (50.0µin versus 15.0µin), providing enhanced durability. Panel mount configuration requires mechanical redesign. This part is appropriate for applications requiring military specification compliance or enhanced environmental performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17E09PM400 be used as a direct replacement for the FCC17E09PM400?

A: Yes. The FCE17E09PM400 maintains identical connector geometry, pin configuration, electrical ratings, and operating temperature range. The primary advantage is active production status and RoHS compliance. No circuit redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between free hanging and panel mount configurations?

A: Free hanging (in-line) connectors are designed for cable-to-cable or cable-to-board connections without mechanical mounting to a panel. Panel mount connectors are secured to an enclosure or PCB through a flange. DEM-9PR and M24308/3-1Z require panel mount installation, necessitating mechanical redesign if the original application used free hanging configuration.

Q: Are the substitute parts electrically compatible with the FCC17E09PM400?

A: All substitute parts meet or exceed the electrical specifications of the FCC17E09PM400. The 5A current rating and 200V voltage rating are satisfied by FCE17E09PM400 and DEM-9PR. The M24308/3-1Z exceeds these ratings (7.5A, 1700V), providing additional margin.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the part does not contain restricted substances (lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, or polybrominated diphenyl ethers). The FCE17E09PM400 is RoHS compliant, while the FCC17E09PM400 and M24308/3-1Z are not. Selection depends on regulatory requirements for the end application.

Q: Can the M24308/3-1Z be used in applications requiring the original operating temperature range?

A: Yes. The M24308/3-1Z operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 150°C) encompasses the original specification (-40°C ~ 85°C). The extended range provides additional environmental margin without compromising compatibility.

Q: What is the impact of different shell finishes on connector performance?

A: Shell finish (tin plated, clear chromate plated zinc, or yellow chromate plated zinc) affects corrosion resistance and environmental durability. Tin plating provides general corrosion protection. Chromate plating offers enhanced corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Selection depends on application environment and expected service life.

Q: Are contact finish thickness differences significant?

A: Contact finish thickness affects contact durability and mating cycle life. The FCC17E09PM400 and FCE17E09PM400 specify 15.0µin thickness, while the M24308/3-1Z specifies 50.0µin. Thicker plating extends contact life in high-cycle applications. For standard applications, both thicknesses are acceptable.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitute parts?

A: FCE17E09PM400 is available in standard packaging. DEM-9PR is supplied in bulk packaging. M24308/3-1Z is supplied in box packaging. Packaging selection does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.
