Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: FCE17E09PC4EB

The FCE17E09PC4EB maintains active product status with established inventory availability (975 units in stock). This part carries RoHS Compliant certification and meets UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The tin-plated steel shell with gold contact finish provides standard environmental protection for commercial applications.

Substitute Part: 183-009-113R171

The 183-009-113R171 from NorComp Inc. is qualified as a direct substitute based on matching all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters. This part offers extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 85°C), providing additional thermal margin for demanding environments. The nickel-plated steel shell offers alternative corrosion resistance characteristics compared to tin plating. ROHS3 compliance status indicates current regulatory alignment. Inventory availability is higher (1,840 units in stock), supporting supply chain continuity.

Both parts maintain identical connector geometry, pin configuration, current rating, and solder termination specifications. Selection between these parts depends on specific application requirements regarding operating temperature range, shell finish preference, and supply chain considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 183-009-113R171 be used as a direct replacement for the FCE17E09PC4EB in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical D-Sub 9-position plug configurations with matching shell size (DE/E), pin count, row arrangement, solder termination, current rating (5A), and backset spacing (0.590"). The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for applications operating within the FCE17E09PC4EB temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Q: What are the differences between these two connector models?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Shell finish—FCE17E09PC4EB uses tin plating while 183-009-113R171 uses nickel plating; (2) Operating temperature range—183-009-113R171 extends to -55°C and 105°C versus -40°C to 85°C; (3) Contact material—FCE17E09PC4EB uses phosphor bronze while 183-009-113R171 uses brass; (4) Dielectric material—FCE17E09PC4EB uses glass-filled thermoplastic while 183-009-113R171 uses polyamide (PA9T); (5) Mounting options—183-009-113R171 includes panel mount capability in addition to through-hole mounting.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and meet RoHS requirements. The FCE17E09PC4EB carries RoHS Compliant status, while the 183-009-113R171 carries ROHS3 Compliant status, indicating current regulatory alignment. Both parts share the same ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these connectors?

A: The FCE17E09PC4EB is supplied in standard packaging (specific format not detailed in available data). The 183-009-113R171 is supplied in Tray packaging format.

Q: Which connector should be selected for applications requiring extended temperature operation?

A: The 183-009-113R171 is suitable for applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 85°C, as it supports -55°C to 105°C operating range. The FCE17E09PC4EB is appropriate for applications within the -40°C to 85°C range.

Q: Are the contact finishes equivalent between these two parts?

A: Both connectors feature gold contact finish, maintaining equivalent electrical contact characteristics and corrosion resistance at the mating interface.

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

A: The FCE17E09PC4EB uses tin plating while the 183-009-113R171 uses nickel plating. Both provide corrosion protection for the steel shell. Nickel plating offers enhanced durability in harsh environments, while tin plating provides standard commercial-grade protection. Selection depends on specific environmental exposure requirements.
