Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of D-Sub connectors is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector style (D-Sub), connector type (plug with male pins), number of positions (9), number of rows (2), shell size and layout (1/DE/E), mounting configuration (through hole, right angle), termination method (solder), current rating (5A), and backset spacing (0.590"/14.99mm). All substitute parts listed maintain these core specifications.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Parametric Equivalent: FCE17E09PC68B differs from the main part only in packaging format (box versus unspecified packaging) and inventory quantity. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Similar Manufacturer Part: 183-009-113R171 from NorComp Inc. maintains all critical connector specifications but includes variations in flange feature design (housing/shell with 4-40 mounting versus board side M3), shell finish (nickel plated versus tin plated), contact material (brass versus phosphor bronze), dielectric material (polyamide/nylon 9T versus thermoplastic glass filled), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C), and RoHS certification status (ROHS3 versus RoHS Compliant). These variations require engineering evaluation for specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FCE17E09PC68B (Parametric Equivalent): This part is the direct parametric equivalent to FCE17E09PC64B. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC, share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, and maintain the same active product status and RoHS compliance. Selection between these two parts is determined by packaging requirements and inventory availability. FCE17E09PC68B is supplied in box packaging with higher inventory availability (1085 pieces).

183-009-113R171 (Similar Manufacturer Part): This NorComp Inc. connector maintains the same core D-Sub 9-position configuration, solder termination, 5A current rating, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. However, this part introduces material and design variations that require application-specific evaluation. The nickel-plated steel shell finish differs from the tin-plated finish of the Amphenol parts. The brass contact material and polyamide dielectric differ from the phosphor bronze and thermoplastic glass-filled materials in the main part. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) provides broader thermal capability. The ROHS3 compliance status indicates adherence to current regulatory requirements. The NorComp part includes panel mount capability in addition to through-hole mounting. Selection of this part is appropriate when the extended temperature range, alternative material composition, or panel mount feature is required for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17E09PC68B be used as a direct replacement for FCE17E09PC64B?

A: Yes. FCE17E09PC68B is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only differences are packaging format (box) and inventory quantity. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and maintain the same performance characteristics.

Q: What are the key differences between the Amphenol and NorComp connectors?

A: The primary differences are shell finish (tin plated versus nickel plated), contact material (phosphor bronze versus brass), dielectric material (thermoplastic glass filled versus polyamide), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C versus -55°C ~ 105°C). All three parts maintain the same 9-position D-Sub configuration, 5A current rating, and solder termination.

Q: Is the NorComp 183-009-113R171 suitable for applications requiring extended temperature operation?

A: The NorComp part supports an operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 105°C, which extends beyond the -40°C ~ 85°C range of the Amphenol parts. Selection depends on whether the application requires this extended temperature capability.

Q: What is the difference in flange design between the main part and the NorComp substitute?

A: The FCE17E09PC64B features a board-side flange with M3 mounting holes. The NorComp 183-009-113R171 features a housing/shell flange with 4-40 mounting holes and includes panel mount capability in addition to through-hole mounting.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. FCE17E09PC64B and FCE17E09PC68B are RoHS Compliant. The NorComp 183-009-113R171 is ROHS3 Compliant, which represents current regulatory compliance standards.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference?

A: The Amphenol parts specify 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold contact finish thickness. The NorComp part specifies flash gold finish, which is a thinner coating. This difference may affect contact durability and mating cycle performance in high-cycle applications.

Q: Can the NorComp connector be used in the same PCB footprint as the Amphenol connectors?

A: The backset spacing (0.590"/14.99mm) is identical across all three parts, and all maintain the same 9-position D-Sub shell size (1/DE/E). However, the flange design differs (board-side M3 versus housing/shell 4-40), which affects mounting hole placement and may require PCB layout modifications.
