FCE17E09PC490 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCE17E09PC490 is a 9-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This connector features male pins, right-angle mounting, and solder termination, designed for signal applications in through-hole PCB assemblies. The connector is currently in active production status with 1092 pieces available in stock.

D-Sub connectors of this configuration are essential in applications requiring standardized, compact interconnection solutions. Substitute parts become necessary when primary suppliers experience lead time constraints, inventory limitations, or when design requirements permit alternative manufacturers meeting equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCE17E09PC490 is determined by 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, Connector Layout: 1 (DE, E)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Current Rating: 5A
• Backset Spacing: 0.590" (14.99mm)
• Contact Type: Signal
• Flange Feature: Housing/Shell (4-40)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The substitute part 183-009-113R171 (NorComp Inc.) meets all mandatory matching parameters. Variations in secondary attributes such as shell material finish, contact material composition, dielectric material type, and operating temperature range do not preclude substitution when the core electrical and mechanical specifications remain equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FCE17E09PC490 and 183-009-113R171 are active production connectors meeting identical core electrical and mechanical specifications for 9-position D-Sub plug applications with solder termination and right-angle mounting.

Compliance Status:

• FCE17E09PC490: RoHS Compliant, MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• 183-009-113R171: ROHS3 Compliant, REACH Unaffected

Both connectors carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and are classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) codes.

Operational Considerations: The FCE17E09PC490 operates within -40°C to 85°C, while the 183-009-113R171 extends to -55°C to 105°C. Selection between these parts should be based on the specific thermal requirements of the application. The NorComp part provides broader temperature coverage for applications requiring extended operating ranges.

Material Differences: Shell finish differs (tin plated versus nickel plated) and contact materials vary (phosphor bronze versus brass). These differences do not affect functional equivalence for standard signal applications at the specified 5A current rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 183-009-113R171 directly replace the FCE17E09PC490 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical connector style, pin count, shell size, mounting configuration, and current rating. The mechanical and electrical interfaces are equivalent. Existing PCB layouts and mating connector designs require no modification.

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

A: The FCE17E09PC490 features tin plating while the 183-009-113R171 uses nickel plating. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance suitable for standard signal applications. Selection depends on environmental exposure and specific corrosion resistance requirements of the application.

Q: Why does the 183-009-113R171 have a wider operating temperature range?

A: The NorComp connector operates from -55°C to 105°C compared to the Amphenol part's -40°C to 85°C range. This difference reflects design and material choices by each manufacturer. Applications requiring operation beyond -40°C to 85°C should specify the NorComp part.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish thickness between these parts?

A: The FCE17E09PC490 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold contact finish thickness, while the 183-009-113R171 specifies flash thickness. Both provide adequate gold plating for signal-level applications. Flash plating is a thinner, cost-effective alternative suitable for non-power applications.

Q: What is the difference between the dielectric materials used?

A: The FCE17E09PC490 uses thermoplastic glass-filled material, while the 183-009-113R171 uses polyamide (PA9T) nylon 9T. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and provide equivalent electrical insulation properties for this connector class.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FCE17E09PC490 is RoHS Compliant, and the 183-009-113R171 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current RoHS requirements. The NorComp part also carries REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The FCE17E09PC490 packaging is not specified in the provided data. The 183-009-113R171 is supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

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

A: Both connectors are active production parts with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection should be based on specific application requirements including operating temperature range, environmental conditions, and compliance certifications needed for your end application.
