Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FCE17E09PC640 with equivalent parts is determined by strict alignment of 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)
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Contact finish: Gold

The substitute part 183-009-113R171 manufactured by NorComp Inc. meets all mandatory matching parameters. Variations in shell material finish (tin plated versus nickel plated), contact material composition (phosphor bronze versus brass), flange feature design (M3 versus 4-40), and dielectric material formulation do not preclude substitution when the above critical parameters align. Operating temperature range and contact finish thickness variations are acceptable within the scope of D-Sub connector interchangeability standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FCE17E09PC640 and 183-009-113R171 are active production components with current RoHS compliance certifications. The FCE17E09PC640 carries RoHS Compliant status, while the 183-009-113R171 carries ROHS3 Compliant status, indicating both meet current environmental regulatory requirements.

The FCE17E09PC640 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 operating temperature requirements of the application. If the application operates within the -40°C to 85°C range, either part is suitable. If extended temperature operation below -40°C or above 85°C is required, the 183-009-113R171 is the appropriate selection.

The 183-009-113R171 includes panel mount capability in addition to through-hole mounting, providing additional mechanical flexibility. Both connectors maintain identical electrical characteristics, including 5A current rating, 9-position configuration, and gold contact finish.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 183-009-113R171 directly replace the FCE17E09PC640 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 183-009-113R171 is a direct substitute for the FCE17E09PC640 when the application operates within the overlapping temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Both connectors share identical connector style, pin configuration, mounting type (right-angle through-hole), termination method, and current rating. The substitute part includes additional panel mount capability, which does not affect through-hole solder applications.

Q: What are the differences in shell material finish between these two parts?

A: The FCE17E09PC640 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 environmental conditions. The choice between tin and nickel plating does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in D-Sub connector applications.

Q: Are there differences in contact material that affect performance?

A: The FCE17E09PC640 uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the 183-009-113R171 uses brass contacts. Both materials are standard for D-Sub connectors and provide equivalent electrical conductivity and contact reliability. Both parts feature gold plating on the contact surfaces, which is the primary factor in contact performance and corrosion resistance.

Q: What is the significance of the extended temperature range in the 183-009-113R171?

A: The 183-009-113R171 operates from -55°C to 105°C, compared to -40°C to 85°C for the FCE17E09PC640. This extended range provides additional operational flexibility for applications requiring extreme temperature performance. If your application operates within the standard -40°C to 85°C range, both parts are equivalent. Extended temperature capability is only relevant if the application requires operation outside this standard range.

Q: How do the dielectric materials differ between these connectors?

A: The FCE17E09PC640 uses thermoplastic with glass filling, while the 183-009-113R171 uses polyamide (PA9T) nylon 9T. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and provide equivalent electrical insulation properties. The dielectric material selection does not affect connector interchangeability for standard signal applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both parts are RoHS compliant. The FCE17E09PC640 carries RoHS Compliant status, and the 183-009-113R171 carries ROHS3 Compliant status. Both meet current environmental regulatory requirements for lead-free and restricted substance compliance.

Q: What is the significance of the flange feature differences (M3 versus 4-40)?

A: The FCE17E09PC640 features an M3 housing/shell flange, while the 183-009-113R171 features a 4-40 flange. These represent different mechanical mounting specifications for the connector shell. The flange type does not affect electrical performance or solder termination compatibility. Selection between these parts should consider the specific mechanical mounting requirements of your application.
