Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FCE17E09PC44B and 183-009-113R171 are active production components with current inventory availability. Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and carry equivalent export classifications (EAR99).

The FCE17E09PC44B maintains RoHS compliance status and operates within the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The 183-009-113R171 achieves ROHS3 compliance and extends the operating temperature range to -55°C to 105°C, providing broader environmental tolerance.

The primary distinction between these parts lies in shell material finish (tin versus nickel plating) and contact material composition (phosphor bronze versus brass). Both configurations deliver the specified 5A current rating and maintain identical mechanical dimensions and backset spacing. The choice between these substitutes depends on application-specific requirements regarding temperature extremes, plating durability, and contact material performance characteristics within the defined operating envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 183-009-113R171 be used as a direct replacement for the FCE17E09PC44B?

A: Both connectors share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for connector style, pin count, shell size, mounting configuration, current rating, and backset spacing. The 183-009-113R171 is qualified as a substitute based on these matching parameters. Secondary differences in shell plating, contact material, and dielectric composition do not affect functional compatibility within standard D-Sub signal transmission applications.

Q: What is the significance of the different shell material finishes?

A: The FCE17E09PC44B features tin plating while the 183-009-113R171 uses nickel plating. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. Nickel plating offers enhanced durability in high-humidity or corrosive environments, while tin plating provides cost efficiency for standard applications. Selection depends on environmental exposure conditions.

Q: How do the contact materials differ between these parts?

A: The FCE17E09PC44B uses phosphor bronze contacts while the 183-009-113R171 uses brass contacts. Both materials provide reliable electrical conductivity and mechanical spring properties required for D-Sub connectors. Phosphor bronze offers superior fatigue resistance, while brass provides cost optimization. Both are suitable for 5A signal transmission applications.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature ranges?

A: The FCE17E09PC44B operates from -40°C to 85°C, while the 183-009-113R171 operates from -55°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation at temperatures below -40°C or above 85°C must use the 183-009-113R171. Standard indoor and controlled environment applications typically operate within the FCE17E09PC44B range.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FCE17E09PC44B is RoHS Compliant, and the 183-009-113R171 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard and provides assurance of compliance with the latest environmental directives.

Q: What is the difference in packaging?

A: The FCE17E09PC44B is supplied in standard packaging, while the 183-009-113R171 is supplied in tray packaging. Tray packaging facilitates automated assembly processes and bulk handling. Selection depends on manufacturing workflow requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Do these connectors have different moisture sensitivity levels?

A: The FCE17E09PC44B has a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The 183-009-113R171 lists MSL as Not Applicable, indicating the component does not require moisture control during storage or handling. Both parts are suitable for standard warehouse and manufacturing environments without special moisture precautions.

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

A: Mechanical and electrical interchangeability is confirmed for standard D-Sub signal transmission applications. PCB footprints, mounting hole patterns, and connector interface dimensions are identical. Design validation should confirm that secondary material differences (plating and contact composition) do not introduce unacceptable performance variations for specific application requirements.
