Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FCE17E09PC400 with equivalent D-Sub connectors 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 and layout (1, DE/E)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Current rating (5A)
• Backset spacing (0.590" / 14.99mm)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 183-009-113R171 from NorComp Inc. meets all mandatory matching parameters. Variations in shell material finish (tin plated versus nickel plated), contact material composition (phosphor bronze versus brass), dielectric material formulation, and operating temperature range do not preclude substitution when the core electrical and mechanical specifications align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FCE17E09PC400 and 183-009-113R171 are active production components with full regulatory compliance. The FCE17E09PC400 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the 183-009-113R171 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, indicating enhanced compliance status. Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for signal applications with 5A current capacity.

The 183-009-113R171 offers an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) compared to the FCE17E09PC400 (-40°C to 85°C), providing broader thermal performance capability. The substitute part features nickel-plated steel shell construction versus tin-plated steel, and utilizes polyamide (PA9T) dielectric material versus glass-filled thermoplastic. These material differences do not affect functional compatibility when connector pinout, position count, shell size, and electrical ratings remain identical.

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements regarding operating temperature range, shell finish corrosion resistance, and dielectric material properties. Both parts maintain identical mechanical interfaces and electrical performance within their respective operating ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 183-009-113R171 be used as a direct replacement for the FCE17E09PC400?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical D-Sub shell size (1, DE/E), 9-position configuration, male pin plug type, right-angle through-hole mounting, and solder termination. Electrical ratings (5A current, gold contact finish) and mechanical dimensions (0.590" backset spacing) are equivalent. Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards.

Q: What are the differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are shell finish material (tin plated versus nickel plated), contact material composition (phosphor bronze versus brass), dielectric material formulation (glass-filled thermoplastic versus polyamide PA9T), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -55°C to 105°C). The substitute part includes a ground strap feature, while the original includes a filter feature.

Q: Does the difference in contact finish thickness affect compatibility?

A: No. Both connectors feature gold contact finish. The FCE17E09PC400 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness, while the 183-009-113R171 specifies flash thickness. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical performance and contact reliability for signal applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The FCE17E09PC400 packaging is not specified in the provided data. The 183-009-113R171 is supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Which connector should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: The 183-009-113R171 supports operating temperatures up to 105°C, compared to 85°C for the FCE17E09PC400. For applications requiring sustained operation above 85°C, the substitute part provides extended thermal capability.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FCE17E09PC400 is RoHS Compliant. The 183-009-113R171 is ROHS3 Compliant, indicating compliance with the most current RoHS directive revision. Both parts meet environmental regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the nickel-plated versus tin-plated shell finish?

A: Shell finish affects corrosion resistance and environmental durability. Nickel plating (183-009-113R171) provides enhanced corrosion resistance in harsh environments. Tin plating (FCE17E09PC400) offers standard corrosion protection. Selection depends on application environment and expected connector lifespan.
