FCE17E09PC2D0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The FCE17E09PC2D0 is a 9-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This right-angle, through-hole solder connector features male pins and is designed for signal applications in industrial and commercial equipment. The connector is currently in active production status with 982 units in stock.

D-Sub connectors of this configuration are widely used in legacy and current industrial systems, test equipment, and data acquisition applications. Substitute parts become necessary when the primary manufacturer experiences supply constraints, when alternative sourcing reduces procurement costs, or when design requirements permit equivalent connector families from other manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCE17E09PC2D0 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector style must be D-Sub
• Connector type must be Plug with Male Pins
• Pin count must be exactly 9 positions
• Shell size and layout must be 1 (DE, E)
• Mounting type must include Through Hole and Right Angle orientation
• Termination method must be Solder

Important Compatibility Parameters:

• Current rating must be equal to or greater than 5A
• Backset spacing must be 0.590" (14.99mm) for PCB footprint compatibility
• Operating temperature range must encompass or exceed -40°C ~ 85°C
• Contact finish must be Gold for signal applications
• RoHS compliance status must be current (RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant)

The substitute part 183-009-113R171 from NorComp Inc. meets all critical matching parameters and important compatibility requirements, making it a valid electrical and mechanical equivalent for the FCE17E09PC2D0.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: FCE17E09PC2D0 (Amphenol ICC)

Use the FCE17E09PC2D0 when:

• Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications explicitly require Amphenol ICC components
• Design documentation specifies the FCE17 series
• Phosphor Bronze contact material is required for specific signal integrity applications
• Thermoplastic glass-filled dielectric material is specified
• Tin-plated steel shell finish is required
• Contact finish thickness of 15.0µin is a design requirement

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

The 183-009-113R171 is an acceptable substitute when:

• Design specifications permit equivalent D-Sub 9-position plug connectors with matching electrical and mechanical parameters
• The extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) provides additional environmental margin beyond the original specification (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Nickel-plated steel shell finish is acceptable in place of tin-plated finish
• Brass contact material is acceptable in place of Phosphor Bronze
• Polyamide (PA9T) dielectric material is acceptable in place of glass-filled thermoplastic
• Flash gold contact finish is acceptable in place of 15.0µin thickness specification
• Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and current RoHS compliance status
• Supply chain or cost optimization favors NorComp Inc. sourcing

Both parts are active products with current inventory availability and meet all critical substitution criteria for D-Sub 9-position plug connectors in signal applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 183-009-113R171 be used as a direct replacement for the FCE17E09PC2D0 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pin count (9 positions), shell size (1/DE/E), mounting type (through-hole right angle), backset spacing (0.590"), and solder termination. PCB footprints are compatible. The 183-009-113R171 includes panel mount capability as an additional feature, which does not affect through-hole mounting compatibility.

Q: What are the differences in contact materials between these two parts?

A: The FCE17E09PC2D0 uses Phosphor Bronze contacts, while the 183-009-113R171 uses Brass contacts. Both materials are suitable for signal applications and maintain gold plating for corrosion resistance and conductivity. The difference in base contact material does not affect electrical performance in standard signal applications.

Q: How do the shell finishes differ?

A: The FCE17E09PC2D0 features a tin-plated steel shell, while the 183-009-113R171 features a nickel-plated steel shell. Both finishes provide corrosion protection and mechanical durability. Nickel plating offers enhanced corrosion resistance in certain environments. The choice between these finishes depends on specific environmental exposure requirements.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of the 183-009-113R171 affect compatibility?

A: No. The 183-009-113R171 operating range (-55°C ~ 105°C) exceeds the FCE17E09PC2D0 specification (-40°C ~ 85°C). This provides additional environmental margin and does not create compatibility issues. If the application operates within the original -40°C ~ 85°C range, both parts perform identically.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FCE17E09PC2D0 is RoHS Compliant, and the 183-009-113R171 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness?

A: The FCE17E09PC2D0 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold plating thickness, while the 183-009-113R171 specifies flash gold plating. Flash plating is a thin, uniform coating applied to ensure conductivity and corrosion resistance. For signal applications, both thicknesses provide adequate performance. Flash plating is standard in the industry and does not compromise signal integrity.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in new designs?

A: Yes, provided the design specifications permit equivalent D-Sub 9-position plug connectors with the electrical and mechanical parameters listed in this reference. Both parts meet all critical matching parameters and important compatibility requirements. Design documentation should specify either part number or reference this equivalency document.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The FCE17E09PC2D0 has 982 units in stock (new original). The 183-009-113R171 has 1840 units in stock (new original, tray packaging). Both parts are active products with current availability.

Q: Are there any certifications or compliance differences?

A: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and current RoHS compliance. Both are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes and share the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4040). The 183-009-113R171 includes REACH Unaffected status in its documentation.
