Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitute parts are classified into two categories based on parametric alignment with FCE17E09SA4DB:
Parametric Equivalent (Direct Substitution): Parts matching all critical parameters including connector type (receptacle, female sockets), position count (9), shell size (DE/E), mounting configuration (through-hole right-angle), and termination method (solder). Current rating, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications must remain within or exceed the original specification.
Similar Parts (Conditional Substitution): Parts sharing the same critical mechanical and electrical parameters but differing in secondary attributes such as contact finish thickness, flange feature design, shell material finish, or dielectric material composition. These parts maintain functional compatibility for the core 9-position D-Sub receptacle application but may require validation for specific environmental or performance requirements.
Key Substitution Parameters:
- Connector type and gender (receptacle with female sockets)
- Position count and row configuration (9 positions, 2 rows)
- Shell size designation (DE/E, Size 1)
- Mounting orientation (right-angle through-hole)
- Solder termination capability
- Backset spacing tolerance (0.318" ± tolerance)
- Current capacity (minimum 5A)
- Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can FCE17E09SA44B directly replace FCE17E09SA4DB without PCB modification?
A: Yes. FCE17E09SA44B is a parametric equivalent with identical mechanical footprint, electrical ratings, and termination method. No PCB layout modification is required. Both parts maintain the same 0.318" (8.08mm) backset spacing and through-hole solder pad configuration.
Q: What is the primary difference between Amphenol ICC and HARTING 9-position receptacles?
A: The primary differences are current rating (5A for Amphenol versus 6.5A for HARTING), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C for Amphenol versus -55°C to 125°C for HARTING), and contact finish thickness (15.0µin for Amphenol versus 30.0µin for HARTING). Mechanical compatibility remains identical for the 9-position DE/E configuration.
Q: Are NorComp 182-009-213R161 and 182-009-213R171 interchangeable?
A: Both NorComp parts share identical electrical and core mechanical specifications. The primary difference is flange feature: 182-009-213R161 has unthreaded housing flange while 182-009-213R171 has 4-40 threaded flange. Selection depends on mounting hardware availability and panel design requirements.
Q: Does shell material finish (tin-plated versus nickel-plated) affect electrical performance?
A: Shell material finish does not affect electrical signal integrity for this connector category. Both tin-plated and nickel-plated finishes provide adequate corrosion resistance. Selection depends on environmental exposure and specific application requirements for corrosion resistance duration.
Q: Can HARTING parts with 6.5A rating be used in applications designed for 5A?
A: Yes. HARTING parts with 6.5A rating exceed the 5A requirement and provide design margin. However, the application circuit design must remain unchanged. The higher current rating does not modify connector mechanical compatibility or electrical signal characteristics.
Q: What does "Contact Finish Thickness: Flash" mean for NorComp parts?
A: Flash thickness indicates a minimal gold plating layer applied to the contact surface. This provides corrosion protection and contact reliability while minimizing material cost. Flash thickness is suitable for signal-level applications and meets industry standards for D-Sub connectors.
Q: Are all listed substitute parts RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. All substitute parts listed maintain either RoHS Compliance (Amphenol ICC) or ROHS3 Compliance (HARTING and NorComp). All parts are suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance certification.
Q: What is the significance of "Board Lock" feature on HARTING parts?
A: Board Lock is a mechanical feature that provides positive retention of the connector to the PCB during assembly and operation. This feature does not affect electrical performance but improves mechanical reliability in high-vibration or high-shock environments. Presence or absence of Board Lock does not prevent functional substitution.
Q: Can a 9-position D-Sub receptacle mate with a 9-position D-Sub plug from a different manufacturer?
A: Yes, provided both connectors conform to the DE/E shell size standard and maintain identical pin spacing (0.318" backset spacing). All listed receptacle parts are compatible with standard 9-position D-Sub plugs meeting this specification.
Q: What inventory levels should be considered for procurement decisions?
A: FCE17E09SA4DB has 1058 units in stock. FCE17E09SA44B has 1101 units. HARTING parts range from 767 to 1362 units. NorComp 182-009-213R161 has 8733 units and 182-009-213R171 has 2344 units. Higher inventory levels may indicate longer lead time availability and reduced supply chain risk.
