FCE17E09PC440 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCE17E09PC440 is a 9-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This connector features male pins, right-angle solder termination, and is designed for through-hole mounting applications. The connector is actively produced and maintains an inventory of 760 pieces in new original stock. D-Sub connectors of this configuration are essential components in applications requiring standardized signal transmission interfaces with robust mechanical retention and reliable electrical contact.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct component replacement in compatible applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCE17E09PC440 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 Finish: Gold
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The substitute part 183-009-113R171 (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 remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FCE17E09PC440 (Amphenol ICC):

• Active product status with established supply chain
• RoHS Compliant certification
• Tin-plated steel shell with 15.0µin gold contact finish
• Operating temperature range: -40°C ~ 85°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)
• Suitable for applications within specified temperature and environmental constraints

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

• Active product status with higher inventory availability (1840 pieces)
• ROHS3 Compliant certification
• Nickel-plated steel shell with flash gold contact finish
• Extended operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 105°C
• REACH Unaffected status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): Not Applicable
• Suitable for applications requiring extended temperature performance or REACH compliance

Both parts satisfy UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain 5A current rating with identical backset spacing and connector geometry. Selection between these parts depends on application-specific requirements regarding operating temperature range, supply chain preference, and regulatory compliance documentation needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 183-009-113R171 directly replace the FCE17E09PC440 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the core functional parameters: 9-position D-Sub plug configuration, male pins, right-angle solder termination, 5A current rating, and 0.590" backset spacing. The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable in applications operating within the overlapping temperature range of -40°C ~ 85°C.

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

A: The FCE17E09PC440 features a tin-plated steel shell, while the 183-009-113R171 features a nickel-plated steel shell. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. The choice between them depends on application-specific environmental exposure and contact resistance requirements.

Q: How do the contact finish specifications differ?

A: The FCE17E09PC440 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold contact finish thickness, while the 183-009-113R171 specifies flash gold finish. Both provide gold contact surfaces for reliable signal transmission. Flash finish represents a thinner application suitable for signal-level applications.

Q: What is the significance of the extended operating temperature range in the 183-009-113R171?

A: The 183-009-113R171 operates from -55°C ~ 105°C, compared to the FCE17E09PC440 range of -40°C ~ 85°C. This extended range accommodates applications requiring operation in more extreme thermal environments. Applications operating within the standard -40°C ~ 85°C range can use either part.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these connectors?

A: The 183-009-113R171 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may influence logistics, handling, and inventory management procedures.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant?

A: Both certifications indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory iteration. Both parts meet hazardous substance restrictions and are suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance documentation.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in high-temperature applications?

A: Applications requiring operation above 85°C must use the 183-009-113R171, which is rated to 105°C. The FCE17E09PC440 is limited to 85°C maximum operating temperature.
