Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FCE17E09PC2DB and 183-009-113R171 are active production parts with current availability and full compliance certifications. Selection between these parts is based on the following engineering considerations:

FCE17E09PC2DB (Amphenol ICC):

• Tin-plated steel shell
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Current inventory: 779 pieces

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

• Nickel-plated steel shell
• Extended operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 105°C
• ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Not Applicable
• Current inventory: 1840 pieces
• Additional mounting option: Panel Mount capability

Both parts satisfy the core electrical and mechanical requirements for D-Sub 9-position plug applications with solder termination and 5A current rating. The choice between manufacturers depends on specific application requirements regarding temperature extremes, shell finish material preference, and mounting configuration needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 183-009-113R171 directly replace the FCE17E09PC2DB in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical specifications (9-position, male pins, 5A rating, gold contact finish), mechanical dimensions (0.590" backset spacing, shell size 1 DE/E), and termination method (solder). The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for through-hole, right-angle mounting applications.

Q: What are the differences in shell material finish between these parts?

A: The FCE17E09PC2DB features a tin-plated steel shell, while the 183-009-113R171 features a nickel-plated steel shell. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and are suitable for standard environmental conditions. Material finish selection depends on specific application requirements and environmental exposure.

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

A: No. The 183-009-113R171 operates from -55°C ~ 105°C, which encompasses the FCE17E09PC2DB operating range of -40°C ~ 85°C. The extended range provides additional operational flexibility without affecting compatibility in applications within the original temperature specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitute parts?

A: The FCE17E09PC2DB packaging is not specified in the product data. The 183-009-113R171 is supplied in Tray packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it impacts only handling, storage, and logistics considerations.

Q: What is the significance of the flange feature difference (Unthreaded vs. 4-40)?

A: The FCE17E09PC2DB features an unthreaded housing/shell flange, while the 183-009-113R171 features a 4-40 threaded flange. Both designs accommodate the right-angle, through-hole mounting configuration. The threaded flange on the NorComp part provides additional panel mount capability, offering greater mounting flexibility without affecting standard through-hole solder applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FCE17E09PC2DB is RoHS Compliant. The 183-009-113R171 is ROHS3 Compliant, which represents an updated compliance standard. Both parts meet RoHS requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the contact material composition for each part?

A: The FCE17E09PC2DB uses phosphor bronze contacts. The 183-009-113R171 uses brass contacts. Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and mechanical durability for signal-level D-Sub applications with gold plating for contact reliability.
