FCE17E09PC480 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCE17E09PC480 is a 9-position D-Sub plug connector with right-angle solder termination, manufactured by Amphenol ICC. This connector features male pins, a 2-row configuration with shell size 1 (DE, E), and is designed for through-hole mounting applications. The connector is actively produced and maintains RoHS compliance with a current rating of 5A and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when inventory requirements necessitate alternative manufacturers while maintaining equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCE17E09PC480 are identified based on strict equivalence across 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)
• Flange feature: Housing/Shell (4-40)
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Contact finish: Gold

The substitute part 183-009-113R171 from NorComp Inc. meets all mandatory matching parameters and is therefore classified as an equivalent substitute. 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 interface requirements are identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FCE17E09PC480 and 183-009-113R171 are active products with current manufacturing status. Selection between these parts is based on the following engineering criteria:

FCE17E09PC480 (Amphenol ICC):

• RoHS Compliant certification
• Tin-plated steel shell with phosphor bronze contacts
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C
• Contact finish thickness: 15.0µin (0.38µm)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

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

• ROHS3 Compliant certification
• Nickel-plated steel shell with brass contacts
• Operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
• Contact finish thickness: Flash
• REACH Unaffected status
• Extended temperature capability

Both connectors satisfy the core D-Sub 9-position plug interface requirements with identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and mounting configurations. The choice between manufacturers depends on specific application requirements including temperature extremes, regulatory compliance framework, and material composition preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 183-009-113R171 be used as a direct replacement for the FCE17E09PC480?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector style, pin configuration (9-position, 2-row), shell size (1 DE/E), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), termination method (solder), current rating (5A), and backset spacing (0.590"). The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for standard D-Sub applications.

Q: What are the differences in operating temperature ranges?

A: The FCE17E09PC480 operates from -40°C to 85°C, while the 183-009-113R171 operates from -55°C to 105°C. The NorComp part provides extended temperature capability at both lower and upper limits. Selection depends on the specific thermal environment of the application.

Q: How do the shell finishes differ?

A: The FCE17E09PC480 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 industrial environments. Material selection may depend on specific environmental exposure or compatibility requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the contact materials?

A: The FCE17E09PC480 uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the 183-009-113R171 uses brass contacts. Both materials are standard for D-Sub connectors and provide equivalent electrical performance. Contact material selection does not affect substitution compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FCE17E09PC480 is RoHS Compliant, and the 183-009-113R171 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current RoHS requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness?

A: The FCE17E09PC480 specifies a contact finish thickness of 15.0µin (0.38µm), while the 183-009-113R171 specifies a flash finish. Both gold finishes provide equivalent contact performance and corrosion resistance for signal-level applications.

Q: Does the NorComp part include panel mount capability?

A: The 183-009-113R171 lists mounting type as "Panel Mount, Through Hole, Right Angle," indicating additional panel mount capability beyond the through-hole right-angle configuration. The FCE17E09PC480 specifies "Through Hole, Right Angle" only. Both support the through-hole right-angle mounting configuration required for standard applications.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The FCE17E09PC480 packaging is not specified in the provided data. The 183-009-113R171 is packaged in trays. Packaging format does not affect connector performance or substitution compatibility.
