FCE17E09PC48B D-Sub Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCE17E09PC48B is a 9-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This right-angle, through-hole solder connector features male pins and is designed for signal applications in industrial and commercial electronics. The connector is currently in active production status with 967 pieces in stock inventory.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent connectors share the same functional specifications, electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and mounting compatibility. Alternative models become necessary when the primary part reaches end-of-life status, inventory constraints occur, or design flexibility is required across multiple qualified suppliers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 183-009-113R171 (NorComp Inc.) qualifies as an equivalent connector based on the following critical parameters:

Matching Specifications:

• Connector style: D-Sub
• Connector type: Plug, Male Pins
• Number of positions: 9
• Number of rows: 2
• Shell size and layout: 1 (DE, E)
• Termination method: Solder
• Current rating: 5A
• Backset spacing: 0.590" (14.99mm)
• Contact finish: Gold
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• ECCN classification: EAR99
• HTSUS code: 8536.69.4040

Functional Equivalence: Both connectors are 9-position D-Sub male plug connectors with identical electrical and mechanical interfaces. The substitute part maintains the same shell size (DE/E), pin configuration, solder termination, and current-carrying capacity. Both are certified to UL94 V-0 flammability standards and comply with RoHS regulations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (FCE17E09PC48B): The Amphenol ICC FCE17E09PC48B is the specified connector for applications requiring the exact combination of tin-plated steel shell finish, phosphor bronze contacts, and glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric. This part is actively produced and maintains 967 units in current inventory. RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification are confirmed.

Substitute Part Selection (183-009-113R171): The NorComp Inc. 183-009-113R171 serves as a functional equivalent when the primary part is unavailable. This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications, including 9-position configuration, 5A current rating, and solder termination. Both parts are active production items with confirmed RoHS and UL94 V-0 compliance.

Differences Requiring Design Consideration: The substitute part features a nickel-plated steel shell (versus tin-plated), brass contacts (versus phosphor bronze), and polyamide dielectric (versus glass-filled thermoplastic). The substitute also supports an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C) and includes panel mount capability in addition to through-hole mounting. Contact finish thickness differs (flash versus 15.0µin specification). These material and finish variations do not affect functional compatibility for standard signal applications within the specified current and temperature parameters of the primary design.

Compliance Status: Both parts meet EAR99 export classification and HTSUS 8536.69.4040 tariff code requirements. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, exceeding the RoHS Compliant status of the primary part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 183-009-113R171 be used as a direct replacement for the FCE17E09PC48B?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical D-Sub 9-position plug configurations, shell sizes (DE/E), solder termination, 5A current ratings, and 0.590" backset spacing. The electrical and mechanical interfaces are equivalent. Material and finish differences do not affect functional compatibility for standard signal applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are shell finish (tin-plated versus nickel-plated), contact material (phosphor bronze versus brass), dielectric material (glass-filled thermoplastic versus polyamide), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C versus -55°C ~ 105°C). The substitute part also supports panel mount in addition to through-hole mounting.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FCE17E09PC48B is RoHS Compliant. The 183-009-113R171 is ROHS3 Compliant, which represents a more recent certification standard.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness?

A: The FCE17E09PC48B specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold contact finish thickness. The 183-009-113R171 specifies flash gold finish thickness. Both provide gold contact plating for signal integrity and corrosion resistance.

Q: Can the substitute part handle the same current and temperature requirements?

A: Both parts are rated for 5A current. The substitute part supports an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) compared to the primary part (-40°C ~ 85°C), making it suitable for wider environmental applications.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The FCE17E09PC48B packaging is not specified in the provided data. The 183-009-113R171 is supplied in Tray packaging.

Q: Are both parts actively produced?

A: Yes. Both the FCE17E09PC48B and 183-009-113R171 are listed as Active production status. The primary part has 967 units in current inventory; the substitute has 1840 units available.

Q: Do both connectors meet flammability standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are certified to UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, meeting the same safety standards for electrical applications.
