Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and comply with RoHS3 regulations. The following selection guidance applies based on provided specifications:

HARTING 09681535611, 09681535612, 09681535613 Series: These parts exceed the current rating requirement (6.5A versus 5A) and extend the operating temperature range to -55°C ~ 125°C. The flange feature variations (M3, 4-40, or female screwlock) accommodate different mounting configurations. These parts are suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance or higher current capacity.

HARTING 09681537611, 09681537612, 09681537613 Series: These parts provide equivalent current rating (6.5A) and extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) with board lock features. Flange feature options include M3, 4-40, or female screwlock configurations. Contact finish specifications are not provided for these variants.

NorComp 182-009-213R171: This part matches the original current rating (5A) and provides gold contact finish with flash thickness. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C ~ 105°C. The part includes ground strap features and panel mount capability in addition to through-hole mounting.

NorComp 182-009-213R561: This variant includes board lock features and female screwlock mating side configuration. Current rating and contact finish specifications match the 182-009-213R171. Operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 105°C.

Mercury 622-009-260-012: This part provides gold contact finish and includes mounting brackets with shielding features. Current rating is specified as 3A per contact, which is below the original 5A requirement. Operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 85°C, matching the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can HARTING 09681535612 directly replace FCE17E09SA68B?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type (receptacle, female sockets), position count (9), shell size (1 / DE, E), mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), termination method (solder), and backset spacing (0.318"). The HARTING part exceeds the current rating (6.5A versus 5A) and extends the operating temperature range. The flange feature differs (4-40 versus M3), which affects mounting hole specifications on the PCB.

Q: What is the difference between HARTING 09681537611 and 09681535611?

A: Both parts provide 6.5A current rating and -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature range. The primary difference is the flange feature: 09681537611 uses M3 mounting holes, while 09681535611 uses M3 as well. The 09681537612 variant uses 4-40 mounting holes, and 09681537613 includes female screwlock mating side configuration. Contact finish specifications are not provided for the 09681537 series.

Q: Is NorComp 182-009-213R171 compatible with the original FCE17E09SA68B?

A: Yes. Both parts are 9 position D-Sub receptacles with identical shell size, mounting type, termination method, and backset spacing. The NorComp part maintains the 5A current rating and provides gold contact finish. The operating temperature range extends to -55°C ~ 105°C. The NorComp part includes panel mount capability and ground strap features not present in the original.

Q: Why does Mercury 622-009-260-012 show 3A per contact instead of 5A?

A: The Mercury part specifies current rating as 3A per contact, which is below the original 5A requirement. This part is listed as a substitute based on matching all primary mechanical and electrical compatibility parameters, but applications requiring the full 5A current capacity should select alternative parts with higher current ratings.

Q: What mounting hole differences exist between substitute parts?

A: Flange feature variations determine mounting hole specifications. Parts with M3 flange features use metric M3 mounting holes. Parts with 4-40 flange features use imperial 4-40 threaded holes. Parts with female screwlock mating side configuration include integrated locking mechanisms. PCB layout must accommodate the selected flange feature type.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status. The original FCE17E09SA68B is RoHS Compliant. Both designations indicate compliance with RoHS regulations; ROHS3 represents the current regulatory version.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a higher current rating in place of the original?

A: Yes. Parts with current ratings exceeding 5A (such as HARTING 09681535612 at 6.5A) are electrically compatible and provide additional capacity margin. The connector contacts, termination points, and shell design accommodate the higher rating without degradation of performance at the original 5A specification level.

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

A: The original FCE17E09SA68B specifies gold contact finish at 15.0µin (0.38µm). HARTING substitutes specify 30.0µin (0.76µm), providing double the plating thickness. NorComp parts specify flash thickness. Thicker plating provides enhanced wear resistance and corrosion protection over extended service life, particularly in applications with frequent mating cycles.

Q: Do all substitute parts include the same features as the original?

A: No. The original FCE17E09SA68B includes filter and mounting bracket features. HARTING parts include board lock features. NorComp 182-009-213R171 includes ground strap. Mercury 622-009-260-012 includes mounting brackets and shielding. Feature differences do not affect basic connector function but may provide additional benefits for specific applications.
