Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCE17E09PC280 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: D-Sub
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 9
• Number of Rows: 2
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 1 (DE, E)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Current Rating: 5A
• Backset Spacing: 0.590" (14.99mm)
• Contact Type: Signal

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Shell Material and Finish (Steel Tin Plated vs. Steel Nickel Plated)
• Contact Finish (Gold with varying thickness specifications)
• Contact Material (Phosphor Bronze vs. Brass)
• Operating Temperature Range (substitute may exceed the original range)
• Dielectric Material (Thermoplastic Glass Filled vs. Polyamide)
• Flange Feature (Unthreaded vs. 4-40 threaded)
• Compliance certifications (RoHS vs. ROHS3)

The substitute part 183-009-113R171 from NorComp Inc. meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FCE17E09PC280 and 183-009-113R171 are active production components with full compliance certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following engineering criteria:

FCE17E09PC280 (Amphenol ICC):

• Recommended for applications operating within -40°C to 85°C temperature range
• RoHS Compliant certification
• Tin-plated steel shell provides corrosion resistance in standard environments
• Phosphor bronze contacts offer consistent contact resistance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture handling restrictions

183-009-113R171 (NorComp Inc.):

• Recommended for applications requiring extended temperature operation (-55°C to 105°C)
• ROHS3 Compliant certification with REACH Unaffected status
• Nickel-plated steel shell provides enhanced corrosion resistance
• Brass contacts are suitable for signal-level applications
• Panel mount capability provides additional mounting flexibility
• Flash gold contact finish meets signal-level requirements

Both parts share identical electrical specifications (5A current rating, 9-position configuration, 0.590" backset spacing) and mechanical compatibility (Shell Size 1 DE/E, right-angle through-hole solder termination). The choice between them depends on specific environmental operating conditions and regulatory compliance requirements of the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 183-009-113R171 be used as a direct replacement for the FCE17E09PC280 in all applications?

A: The 183-009-113R171 is electrically and mechanically compatible with the FCE17E09PC280 for applications operating within the FCE17E09PC280's specified temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). Both connectors share identical pin configurations, current ratings, and solder termination specifications. The substitute part's extended temperature rating (-55°C to 105°C) does not restrict its use in lower-temperature applications.

Q: What are the differences in shell plating between these two connectors?

A: The FCE17E09PC280 features a tin-plated steel shell, while the 183-009-113R171 features a nickel-plated steel shell. Both finishes provide corrosion protection suitable for standard industrial environments. Nickel plating offers enhanced durability in high-humidity or corrosive environments. The choice between them should be based on specific environmental exposure conditions.

Q: Are the contact finishes equivalent?

A: Both connectors feature gold-plated contacts suitable for signal applications. The FCE17E09PC280 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold thickness, while the 183-009-113R171 specifies flash gold plating. Both thicknesses meet signal-level contact requirements and provide equivalent electrical performance for 5A current applications.

Q: What is the significance of the panel mount capability of the 183-009-113R171?

A: The 183-009-113R171 supports both panel mount and through-hole mounting, while the FCE17E09PC280 is specified for through-hole mounting only. This additional mounting flexibility in the substitute part does not affect compatibility when used in through-hole applications. The 4-40 threaded flange on the 183-009-113R171 is optional and does not interfere with standard through-hole PCB mounting.

Q: Do these connectors have different moisture sensitivity requirements?

A: The FCE17E09PC280 is rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The 183-009-113R171 is rated MSL Not Applicable, indicating it does not require moisture-controlled storage. Both parts can be stored and handled under standard industrial conditions without special moisture control measures.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FCE17E09PC280 is RoHS Compliant, and the 183-009-113R171 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both certifications indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard and includes additional substance restrictions beyond the original RoHS specification.
