Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for D-Sub plug connectors is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

Critical 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 minimum)
• Backset spacing (0.590" / 14.99mm)
• Contact type (Signal)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 183-009-113R171 (NorComp Inc.) meets all critical matching parameters and is classified as a direct equivalent for the FCE17E09PC4DB.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FCE17E09PC4DB and 183-009-113R171 are active production connectors meeting UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS compliance standards. Selection between these parts is based on the following criteria:

FCE17E09PC4DB (Amphenol ICC):

• Tin-plated steel shell with phosphor bronze contacts
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C
• RoHS Compliant status
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)
• Board-side flange mounting feature

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

• Nickel-plated steel shell with brass contacts
• Extended operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
• ROHS3 Compliant status
• Not Applicable moisture sensitivity
• Housing/shell flange mounting feature with ground strap
• Panel mount capability in addition to through-hole mounting

Selection should be based on application-specific requirements including operating temperature extremes, environmental exposure, and mounting configuration constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are FCE17E09PC4DB and 183-009-113R171 electrically interchangeable?

A: Both connectors share identical electrical specifications including 9-position configuration, 5A current rating, gold contact finish, and signal contact type. They are electrically compatible for applications within the overlapping operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Q: What is the difference in shell plating between these connectors?

A: The FCE17E09PC4DB features tin-plated steel shell, while the 183-009-113R171 features nickel-plated steel shell. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance; selection depends on specific environmental and application requirements.

Q: Can the 183-009-113R171 be used in applications requiring the extended temperature range?

A: The 183-009-113R171 supports operating temperatures from -55°C to 105°C, exceeding the FCE17E09PC4DB range of -40°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation beyond -40°C to 85°C must use the 183-009-113R171.

Q: What are the contact material differences?

A: The FCE17E09PC4DB uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the 183-009-113R171 uses brass contacts. Both materials support the 5A current rating and gold finish specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The FCE17E09PC4DB is supplied in standard packaging, while the 183-009-113R171 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the flange feature difference?

A: The FCE17E09PC4DB features board-side (4-40) flange mounting, while the 183-009-113R171 features housing/shell (4-40) flange mounting with ground strap. Both support through-hole, right-angle mounting; flange location and ground strap presence may affect PCB layout and grounding strategy.

Q: Do both connectors meet current RoHS standards?

A: The FCE17E09PC4DB is RoHS Compliant, and the 183-009-113R171 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements; ROHS3 represents the most current compliance designation.
