FCE17E09PC690 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCE17E09PC690 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 configurations. The connector is currently active in production with 1051 pieces in stock inventory.

D-Sub connectors require alternative sources due to supply chain considerations, manufacturing lead times, and application-specific requirements. Equivalent substitute parts maintain the same electrical and mechanical interface specifications while potentially offering different availability, packaging, or operational characteristics.

The substitute part 183-009-113R171 from NorComp Inc. meets all critical mechanical and electrical parameters required for direct substitution in applications designed for the FCE17E09PC690.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FCE17E09PC690 and 183-009-113R171 are active production components meeting UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS compliance standards. Selection between these parts is based on the following factors:

FCE17E09PC690 (Amphenol ICC):

• Specified operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C
• Phosphor bronze contact material
• Tin-plated steel shell
• MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)
• Lower current inventory availability

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

• Extended operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C
• Brass contact material
• Nickel-plated steel shell
• Higher current inventory availability (1840 pieces)
• Panel mount capability in addition to through-hole mounting

Both connectors maintain identical mechanical interface specifications (9 positions, 2 rows, shell size 1 DE/E, 0.590" backset spacing) and electrical ratings (5A current, signal contact type, solder termination). The choice between these parts depends on application temperature requirements, environmental exposure conditions, and supply chain priorities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 183-009-113R171 be used as a direct replacement for the FCE17E09PC690?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical interface specifications (9-position, 2-row, shell size 1 DE/E configuration), identical backset spacing (0.590"), identical current rating (5A), and identical termination method (solder). Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS compliance standards.

Q: What are the differences between these two connectors?

A: The primary differences are: (1) operating temperature range (FCE17E09PC690: -40°C to 85°C; 183-009-113R171: -55°C to 105°C), (2) shell finish (tin-plated vs. nickel-plated), (3) contact material (phosphor bronze vs. brass), and (4) mounting options (183-009-113R171 includes panel mount capability). These differences do not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility for standard through-hole solder applications.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the different shell finishes?

A: No. Both tin-plated and nickel-plated steel shells provide equivalent corrosion resistance and electrical performance for D-Sub connector applications. The choice between finishes is determined by application environment and cost considerations.

Q: Does the extended temperature range of the 183-009-113R171 affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) of the 183-009-113R171 is a superset of the FCE17E09PC690 range (-40°C to 85°C). Applications designed for the FCE17E09PC690 operate within the compatible range of the 183-009-113R171.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact materials?

A: Both phosphor bronze (FCE17E09PC690) and brass (183-009-113R171) are standard contact materials for D-Sub connectors. Both materials provide equivalent electrical conductivity and mechanical durability for signal applications at 5A current rating. Material selection does not affect connector compatibility.

Q: Does packaging format affect connector performance?

A: No. The FCE17E09PC690 packaging format is not specified in the data provided. The 183-009-113R171 is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format affects handling, storage, and logistics only; it does not affect electrical or mechanical performance of the connector itself.

Q: Are both connectors suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Both connectors meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS compliance standards, indicating suitability for industrial and commercial applications. The 183-009-113R171 offers extended temperature range capability, which may be advantageous for applications with broader environmental exposure requirements.
