Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (FCE17E09PC40B): The Amphenol ICC FCE17E09PC40B is the specified component with active production status and RoHS compliance. This connector is suitable for applications requiring the stated operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and tin-plated steel shell construction.

Substitute Selection (183-009-113R171): The NorComp Inc. 183-009-113R171 provides functional equivalence with extended operating temperature capability (-55°C to 105°C) and ROHS3 compliance. The nickel-plated steel shell and polyamide dielectric material offer alternative material specifications while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility. This substitute is appropriate for applications requiring broader temperature performance or enhanced environmental resistance.

Both connectors maintain identical pin configurations, current ratings, and mechanical mounting interfaces, supporting direct substitution in solder-terminated through-hole applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 183-009-113R171 be used as a direct replacement for the FCE17E09PC40B?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical D-Sub 9-position plug configurations, 5A current ratings, 0.590" backset spacing, and solder termination methods. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are compatible for through-hole right-angle mounting applications.

Q: What are the differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are shell finish (tin plated versus nickel plated), contact finish thickness (15.0µin versus flash), dielectric material composition (glass-filled thermoplastic versus polyamide), contact material (phosphor bronze versus brass), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -55°C to 105°C). Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and gold contact finishes.

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

A: The NorComp Inc. 183-009-113R171 supports operating temperatures up to 105°C, compared to 85°C for the Amphenol ICC FCE17E09PC40B. Selection depends on specific application temperature requirements.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FCE17E09PC40B is RoHS Compliant, and the 183-009-113R171 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The FCE17E09PC40B is supplied in standard packaging, while the 183-009-113R171 is packaged in trays. Packaging format may affect handling and storage procedures but does not impact functional performance.

Q: Do both connectors have the same pin configuration?

A: Yes. Both are 9-position D-Sub plugs with 2-row configurations and identical shell size (1, DE/E layout). Pin spacing and electrical interface specifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference?

A: The FCE17E09PC40B specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold contact finish thickness, while the 183-009-113R171 specifies flash thickness. Both provide gold contact surfaces for signal integrity; thickness variation may affect wear characteristics in high-cycle mating applications.
