Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCC17E09PM690 is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector style: D-Sub
• Connector type: Plug, Male Pins
• Number of positions: 9
• Number of rows: 2
• Shell size and layout: 1 (DE, E)
• Termination method: Solder Cup
• Contact finish: Gold
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Secondary Compatibility Considerations:

• Current rating: 5A minimum
• Voltage rating: 200V minimum
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass -40°C to 85°C
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze or Copper Alloy

Substitute parts are grouped based on their ability to maintain these electrical and mechanical specifications. Variations in mounting type (free hanging versus panel mount), shell finish (tin plated versus chromate plated), and dielectric material composition do not preclude substitution when all primary criteria are met.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FCE17E09PM690 (Amphenol ICC)

The FCE17E09PM690 is the primary equivalent substitute for the obsolete FCC17E09PM690. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 9-position D-Sub plug configuration, solder cup termination, gold contact finish, 5A current rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The FCE17E09PM690 maintains active product status and is RoHS compliant, providing superior supply chain availability and regulatory alignment. The dielectric material composition differs (glass-filled thermoplastic versus standard thermoplastic), but this variation does not affect functional compatibility. This part is recommended as the first-choice substitute.

DEM-9PR (JAE Electronics)

The DEM-9PR maintains all core connector specifications required for substitution: 9-position D-Sub plug, solder cup termination, gold contact finish, and 5A current rating. The primary distinction is mounting type (panel mount versus free hanging in-line). The DEM-9PR operates across an extended temperature range (-55°C to 120°C), exceeding the original part's thermal envelope. Shell finish differs (clear chromate plated zinc versus tin plated steel), and contact finish thickness is not specified. This part is suitable for applications where panel mounting is acceptable and extended temperature performance is beneficial.

M24308/3-1Z (Positronic)

The M24308/3-1Z is a military-grade D-Sub plug connector conforming to MIL-DTL-24308 specifications. It meets all primary substitution criteria with 9-position configuration, solder cup termination, and gold contact finish. The part exceeds original specifications in current rating (7.5A versus 5A) and voltage rating (1700V versus 200V), and operates across -55°C to 150°C. Contact finish thickness is substantially higher (50.0µin versus 15.0µin), providing enhanced durability. Mounting type is panel mount. This part is appropriate for applications requiring military-grade reliability and extended performance margins, though it is RoHS non-compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17E09PM690 directly replace FCC17E09PM690 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17E09PM690 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the FCC17E09PM690 across all critical parameters. Both are 9-position D-Sub plugs with solder cup termination, gold contacts, 5A current rating, and identical operating temperature range. The FCE17E09PM690 is the recommended direct substitute due to active product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the significance of the mounting type difference between free hanging and panel mount?

A: Mounting type determines physical installation method. Free hanging (in-line) connectors are designed for cable-to-cable or cable-to-board connections without a panel interface. Panel mount connectors require a mounting flange on an enclosure or panel. DEM-9PR and M24308/3-1Z are panel mount variants. Substitution is valid only if the application's physical installation method accommodates the mounting type.

Q: Why does M24308/3-1Z have higher voltage and current ratings than the original part?

A: M24308/3-1Z is a military-specification connector designed to MIL-DTL-24308 standards, which typically impose more stringent performance requirements than commercial specifications. Higher ratings indicate greater design margins and durability. These specifications do not prevent substitution; they indicate the part can safely handle the original part's electrical load with additional capacity.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a substitution barrier?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory and supply chain consideration, not an electrical or mechanical compatibility factor. The FCC17E09PM690 is RoHS non-compliant, while FCE17E09PM690 is compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, FCE17E09PM690 is the appropriate choice. For applications without RoHS requirements, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Can DEM-9PR be used in applications originally designed for free hanging in-line mounting?

A: DEM-9PR is a panel mount connector and cannot be used in free hanging in-line applications without mechanical redesign. The flange configuration and mounting interface are fundamentally different. FCE17E09PM690 maintains the free hanging in-line mounting type and is the appropriate substitute for such applications.

Q: What does contact finish thickness indicate about connector performance?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance. M24308/3-1Z has 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold plating versus 15.0µin (0.38µm) on the original part, providing enhanced protection against oxidation and mechanical wear. Higher thickness is beneficial for high-cycle mating applications but does not affect electrical compatibility for standard use cases.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in equivalent packaging quantities?

A: Packaging and inventory levels vary by manufacturer and distributor. FCC17E09PM690 is available in 677 pieces, FCE17E09PM690 in 1057 pieces, DEM-9PR in 673 pieces, and M24308/3-1Z in 1500 pieces. Packaging format also differs (not specified for FCC17E09PM690 and FCE17E09PM690, bulk for DEM-9PR, box for M24308/3-1Z). Verify packaging requirements and availability with your supplier.
