Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 5745988-6 and 747836-6 (AMPLIMITE HD-20 Series)

These parts provide the closest electrical and mechanical alignment with the FCE17E09SC28B. Both feature phosphor bronze contacts, tin-plated steel shells, and gold contact finish. The 5745988-6 is packaged in trays with ROHS3 compliance, while 747836-6 is tube-packaged. Both support extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 105°C) and higher current ratings (6A) compared to the main part. The 747836-6 includes board lock features and ground strap, with REACH affected status noted. Selection between these two depends on packaging requirements and supply chain considerations.

Mercury United Electronics 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 (Series 626)

These parts support board edge mounting in addition to through-hole mounting, providing mechanical flexibility for specific PCB layout requirements. Both feature nickel-plated steel shells and copper alloy contacts with gold finish. The 626-009-662-032 specifies 30.0µin contact finish thickness, while 626-009-262-032 specifies flash thickness. Current rating is 3A per contact, which is lower than the main part. Both are ROHS3 compliant with REACH unaffected status. These parts are suitable for applications where board edge mounting capability is required and current requirements do not exceed 3A per contact.

Compliance and Certification Basis

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. The TE Connectivity parts provide ROHS3 compliance with extended temperature performance. Mercury parts provide ROHS3 compliance with board edge mounting capability. Selection should prioritize application-specific requirements for current rating, operating temperature range, mounting configuration, and regulatory compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17E09SC28B be directly replaced with the TE Connectivity 5745988-6?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical primary compatibility parameters: 9 position D-Sub receptacle, female sockets, right-angle through-hole solder termination, shell size 1 (DE, E), gold contact finish, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 5745988-6 provides higher current rating (6A vs 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C vs -40°C to 85°C), making it suitable for applications with more demanding thermal or current requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the Mercury 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032?

A: Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical with the following exception: contact finish thickness. The 626-009-262-032 specifies flash gold thickness, while 626-009-662-032 specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold thickness. Both support board edge and through-hole mounting, feature nickel-plated steel shells, and are rated for 3A per contact. Selection depends on contact finish thickness requirements for specific application reliability criteria.

Q: Are the Mercury parts suitable replacements if current requirements are 5A?

A: No. The Mercury 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 are rated for 3A per contact, which is below the 5A rating of the FCE17E09SC28B. For applications requiring 5A or higher current capacity, select the TE Connectivity 5745988-6 or 747836-6, both rated for 6A.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitute parts?

A: The FCE17E09SC28B is supplied in standard packaging (not specified). The TE Connectivity 5745988-6 is supplied in trays. The TE Connectivity 747836-6 is supplied in tubes. The Mercury 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 are supplied in bulk. Packaging selection affects handling, storage, and automated assembly compatibility.

Q: Do all substitute parts support the same operating temperature range?

A: No. The FCE17E09SC28B operates from -40°C to 85°C. The TE Connectivity parts (5745988-6 and 747836-6) support -55°C to 105°C. The Mercury parts support -55°C to 85°C. For applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 85°C, the TE Connectivity parts provide extended temperature capability.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference between 0.590" and 0.584"?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting surface to the contact plane. The FCE17E09SC28B and TE Connectivity parts specify 0.590" (14.99mm), while Mercury parts specify 0.584" (14.84mm). This 0.006" difference may affect PCB layout and mating connector alignment. Verify PCB design compatibility before substitution.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: The FCE17E09SC28B is RoHS Compliant. The TE Connectivity 5745988-6 is ROHS3 Compliant. The Mercury parts are ROHS3 Compliant. The TE Connectivity 747836-6 has RoHS status listed as not applicable. For applications requiring RoHS compliance certification, verify the specific regulatory requirement and select accordingly.

Q: What is the difference between phosphor bronze and copper alloy contacts?

A: The FCE17E09SC28B and TE Connectivity parts use phosphor bronze contacts, which provide superior spring characteristics and contact reliability. The Mercury parts use copper alloy contacts. Both materials are suitable for D-Sub connectors; however, phosphor bronze is generally preferred for applications requiring extended contact life and consistent contact force over temperature ranges.
