Amphenol ICC FCE17E09PA2DB D-Sub 9-Position Right Angle Solder Plug Connector

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC FCE17E09PA2DB is a 9-position D-Sub plug connector with right-angle solder termination, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features male pins, a DE/E shell size (Size 1), and is constructed with tin-plated steel housing and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts. The part is currently active in production with 839 units in stock inventory.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when original inventory is unavailable, when alternative manufacturers offer improved lead times, or when design requirements permit functional alternatives that meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications. Substitute connectors must maintain compatibility with mating D-Sub receptacles while preserving signal integrity and current-carrying capacity within the specified operating environment.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and satisfy the critical mechanical and electrical parameters required for functional equivalence with the FCE17E09PA2DB. Selection among substitutes should be based on the following engineering considerations:

Current Rating Considerations: Parts rated at 3A per contact (621-009-260-042, A-DS 09 A/KG-T2S, A-DS 09 A/KG-T4S) are suitable only for applications where circuit current does not exceed 3A per pin. Applications requiring the full 5A rating of the original part should utilize 09681635812, 09681635813, 09681637813, 182-009-113R171, 182-009-113R531, 182-009-113R561, or D09P33E4GV00LF.

Temperature Range Considerations: The original FCE17E09PA2DB operates from -40°C to 85°C. Substitute parts from HARTING (09681635812, 09681635813, 09681637813) and Amphenol FCI (D09P33E4GV00LF) extend the upper operating limit to 125°C, providing enhanced thermal margin for high-temperature environments. NorComp parts (182-009-113R171, 182-009-113R531, 182-009-113R561) and Assmann parts (A-DS 09 A/KG-T2S, A-DS 09 A/KG-T4S) support operation to 105°C. Mercury part 621-009-260-042 matches the original temperature range of -55°C to 85°C.

Flange Feature Compatibility: The original part features an unthreaded housing/shell flange. Substitute parts with 4-40 threaded flanges (09681635812, 09681635813, 09681637813, 182-009-113R171, 182-009-113R531, 182-009-113R561, 621-009-260-042, A-DS 09 A/KG-T4S, D09P33E4GV00LF) provide mechanical fastening capability. Parts with mating-side female screwlock features (09681635813, 09681637813, 182-009-113R561, A-DS 09 A/KG-T2S, D09P33E4GV00LF) offer keyed mating interfaces.

Compliance Status: All substitute parts maintain RoHS3 compliance or RoHS compliance status. Parts designated ROHS3 Compliant (all HARTING, NorComp, Mercury, and Assmann parts except the original) indicate compliance with the most current RoHS directive. All parts carry EAR99 export classification and share the same HTSUS tariff code 8536.69.4040.

Inventory Availability: Substitute parts with highest inventory levels include A-DS 09 A/KG-T4S (27,349 units), 182-009-113R531 (10,462 units), and 182-009-113R561 (8,404 units), providing extended supply security for high-volume applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a lower current rating than the original FCE17E09PA2DB?

A: No. The original part is rated for 5A per contact. Substitute parts rated at 3A per contact (621-009-260-042, A-DS 09 A/KG-T2S, A-DS 09 A/KG-T4S) are suitable only for circuits where the maximum current per pin does not exceed 3A. For applications requiring the full 5A rating, select substitutes rated at 5A or higher.

Q: Are all substitute parts mechanically compatible with existing D-Sub 9-position receptacles?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain the critical mechanical parameters: 9-position D-Sub plug configuration, Size 1 (DE, E) shell layout, 0.318" or 0.319" backset spacing, and right-angle through-hole mounting. These specifications ensure mating compatibility with standard D-Sub 9-position receptacles.

Q: What is the difference between parts with unthreaded flanges and 4-40 threaded flanges?

A: The original FCE17E09PA2DB features an unthreaded housing/shell flange. Substitute parts with 4-40 threaded flanges provide mechanical fastening points for panel mounting or bracket attachment. Both configurations are mechanically compatible with standard D-Sub receptacles; the flange type selection depends on the mechanical mounting requirements of the application.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with an extended operating temperature range in place of the original?

A: Yes. Substitute parts with extended temperature ranges (such as HARTING parts rated to 125°C or NorComp parts rated to 105°C) are functionally equivalent and provide enhanced thermal margin. The original part's -40°C to 85°C range is encompassed by all substitute parts listed.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference between 0.318" and 0.319"?

A: The backset spacing tolerance of 0.001" (0.02mm) between 0.318" (8.08mm) and 0.319" (8.10mm) is within standard D-Sub connector manufacturing tolerances and does not affect mating compatibility or electrical performance. Both dimensions are acceptable for functional substitution.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed carry either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant status. ROHS3 designation indicates compliance with the most current RoHS directive. Both compliance levels are acceptable for applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the difference between contact finishes (Gold, Gold-Palladium, Gold Flash)?

A: All listed finishes provide equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance for signal-level D-Sub applications. Gold provides standard corrosion protection. Gold-Palladium offers enhanced durability in high-cycle mating environments. Gold Flash provides cost-effective protection with minimal gold thickness. Selection depends on application requirements and cost considerations.

Q: Can I substitute a part with a different shell material finish (Tin Plated vs. Nickel Plated)?

A: Yes. Shell material finish variations (Steel Tin Plated, Steel Nickel Plated, Steel Tin-Nickel Plated) do not affect electrical performance or mating compatibility. Selection depends on environmental corrosion resistance requirements and cost considerations.

Q: What does "Board Lock" feature mean in the substitute parts?

A: Board Lock is a mechanical feature that provides positive retention of the connector to the printed circuit board during assembly and operation. This feature prevents accidental disconnection due to vibration or mechanical stress. Parts with Board Lock features (09681635812, 09681635813, 09681637813, 182-009-113R531, 182-009-113R561, 621-009-260-042, A-DS 09 A/KG-T2S, A-DS 09 A/KG-T4S, D09P33E4GV00LF) offer enhanced mechanical security compared to the original part.

Q: Are substitute parts available in different packaging formats?

A: Yes. Substitute parts are available in Bulk packaging (HARTING, Mercury) and Tray packaging (NorComp, Assmann, Amphenol FCI). Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management preferences. Bulk packaging is suitable for high-volume automated assembly; Tray packaging provides organized component presentation for manual or semi-automated assembly.
