The three substitute parts listed below satisfy the primary compatibility criteria while presenting variations in mounting configuration, material specifications, and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FCE17E09PM480 (Amphenol ICC)

The FCE17E09PM480 is the primary substitute for the FCC17E09PM480. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 9-position D-Sub plug configuration, solder cup termination, 5A current rating, gold-plated contacts, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The FCE17E09PM480 maintains the same free-hanging (in-line) mounting type and shell size (1 DE, E). The key distinction is product status: FCE17E09PM480 is active, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Additionally, FCE17E09PM480 is RoHS compliant, providing regulatory alignment for new designs and procurement cycles. The dielectric material is specified as thermoplastic glass-filled, compared to the main part's thermoplastic specification. This substitute is recommended for direct replacement in applications where the free-hanging mounting configuration is required.

DEM-9PR (JAE Electronics)

The DEM-9PR is a functionally equivalent substitute with panel mount configuration. This connector maintains the 9-position D-Sub plug format, solder cup termination, 5A current rating, and gold-plated contacts. The DEM-9PR operates across a wider temperature range (-55°C to 120°C) compared to the FCC17E09PM480 (-40°C to 85°C), providing enhanced thermal performance. The connector features a clear chromate-plated zinc shell finish and copper alloy contacts. The primary difference is mounting type: DEM-9PR is panel mount, whereas FCC17E09PM480 is free-hanging. This substitute is applicable in applications where panel-mounted connector installation is required and the wider operating temperature range is beneficial. Voltage and contact finish thickness specifications are not provided for this part.

M24308/3-1Z (Positronic)

The M24308/3-1Z is a military-grade substitute conforming to MIL-DTL-24308 specifications. This connector maintains the 9-position D-Sub plug configuration, solder cup termination, and gold-plated contacts. The M24308/3-1Z exceeds the electrical specifications of the FCC17E09PM480 with a 7.5A current rating (versus 5A) and 1700V voltage rating (versus 200V). The operating temperature range extends to -55°C to 150°C, providing superior thermal performance. The connector features a yellow chromate-plated zinc shell finish, thicker gold plating (50.0µin versus 15.0µin), and supports wire gauges of 20-28 AWG. Like the DEM-9PR, this part uses panel mount configuration. The M24308/3-1Z is suitable for applications requiring military-specification connectors, higher current capacity, and enhanced environmental performance. This part is RoHS non-compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17E09PM480 be used as a direct replacement for FCC17E09PM480?

A: Yes. The FCE17E09PM480 is a direct functional equivalent. Both connectors share identical connector style (D-Sub), type (Plug, Male Pins), position count (9), row configuration (2), shell size (1 DE, E), termination method (Solder Cup), current rating (5A), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). The FCE17E09PM480 is active and RoHS compliant, making it the preferred substitute for ongoing applications.

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

A: Free-hanging (in-line) connectors, such as FCC17E09PM480 and FCE17E09PM480, are mounted directly to cables without requiring a panel or enclosure mounting point. Panel mount connectors, such as DEM-9PR and M24308/3-1Z, are installed through an opening in a panel or enclosure with the flange securing the connector to the panel. Selection depends on the mechanical installation requirements of the application.

Q: Are the substitute parts electrically compatible with the FCC17E09PM480?

A: All three substitute parts meet or exceed the electrical specifications of the FCC17E09PM480. All maintain the 5A current rating (M24308/3-1Z provides 7.5A), gold-plated contacts, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The FCC17E09PM480 specifies 200V; FCE17E09PM480 does not specify voltage, while DEM-9PR and M24308/3-1Z do not specify voltage and 1700V respectively. All parts support the operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C or exceed it.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance status?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance indicates that a component meets European Union regulations restricting the use of specific hazardous materials. FCE17E09PM480 is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS requirements. FCC17E09PM480 and M24308/3-1Z are RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or procurement in regulated markets, RoHS-compliant alternatives are preferred.

Q: Can M24308/3-1Z be used in applications requiring the exact 200V voltage rating?

A: M24308/3-1Z is rated for 1700V, which exceeds the 200V requirement of FCC17E09PM480. Higher voltage ratings do not create incompatibility; the connector can be used in applications rated for 200V or lower. The higher rating provides additional safety margin and environmental performance.

Q: What contact material differences exist between the substitute parts?

A: FCC17E09PM480 and FCE17E09PM480 use phosphor bronze contacts. DEM-9PR and M24308/3-1Z use copper alloy contacts. Both materials are suitable for gold-plated contact applications and provide equivalent electrical performance in D-Sub connector applications.

Q: How does the operating temperature range affect part selection?

A: FCC17E09PM480 operates from -40°C to 85°C. FCE17E09PM480 maintains this range. DEM-9PR extends to -55°C to 120°C, and M24308/3-1Z extends to -55°C to 150°C. Selection should match the application's thermal environment. Wider temperature ranges provide flexibility for applications with extreme environmental conditions.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness specifications?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance. FCC17E09PM480 and FCE17E09PM480 specify 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold plating. M24308/3-1Z specifies 50.0µin (1.27µm), providing thicker plating for enhanced durability in high-cycle mating applications. DEM-9PR does not specify thickness. Thicker plating is beneficial for applications with frequent connector mating cycles.
