Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

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

This substitute provides enhanced current capacity (6A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C). The part carries ROHS3 Compliant certification and includes a ground strap feature. Inventory availability is 1546 units. The mating side female screwlock (4-40) flange differs from the unthreaded housing/shell of the main part; this configuration provides additional mechanical retention. Suitable for applications requiring higher current handling or extended temperature performance.

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

This substitute is functionally equivalent to 5745988-6 with identical electrical and thermal specifications (6A current rating, -55°C ~ 105°C operating range, 125V voltage rating). Packaging differs (tube versus tray). RoHS status is listed as not applicable; REACH status is affected. Inventory availability is 1083 units. The board lock feature provides enhanced mechanical stability. Suitable for applications with identical performance requirements to 5745988-6 where tube packaging is preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17E09SC29B be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Direct replacement depends on application-specific requirements. All four substitutes maintain the core D-Sub 9-position receptacle configuration with female sockets, right-angle solder termination, and DE/E shell size. However, differences in current rating, operating temperature range, flange configuration, and backset spacing must be evaluated against your circuit design specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference between the main part (5A) and the TE Connectivity substitutes (6A)?

A: The TE Connectivity parts 5745988-6 and 747836-6 provide 6A current capacity, exceeding the 5A specification of the FCE17E09SC29B. These substitutes are suitable for applications requiring the main part's 5A rating and can accommodate higher current demands. The Mercury United Electronics parts (626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032) provide 3A per contact, which is lower and suitable only for applications with reduced current requirements.

Q: How do the operating temperature ranges compare?

A: The FCE17E09SC29B operates from -40°C to 85°C. The TE Connectivity substitutes (5745988-6 and 747836-6) extend this range to -55°C ~ 105°C, providing broader environmental compatibility. The Mercury United Electronics parts (626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032) operate from -55°C to 85°C, matching the lower temperature limit but not extending the upper limit.

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

A: Both parts are functionally identical in mounting type, current rating, operating temperature, and features. The primary difference is contact finish thickness: 626-009-262-032 has flash grade gold plating, while 626-009-662-032 has 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating. The thicker plating of 626-009-662-032 provides enhanced contact durability and wear resistance.

Q: What does the backset spacing difference mean?

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the connector mounting surface to the contact plane. The FCE17E09SC29B and TE Connectivity substitutes specify 0.590" (14.99mm), while the Mercury parts specify 0.584" (14.84mm). This 0.006" difference may affect mating connector alignment in applications with tight mechanical tolerances. Verify compatibility with mating connector specifications before substitution.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: The FCE17E09SC29B is RoHS Compliant. The TE Connectivity 5745988-6 and Mercury parts (626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032) are ROHS3 Compliant, which represents a more recent compliance standard. The TE Connectivity 747836-6 lists RoHS status as not applicable. For applications requiring RoHS certification, the ROHS3 Compliant parts and the original RoHS Compliant part are suitable.

Q: What is the difference between the flange features?

A: The FCE17E09SC29B has an unthreaded housing/shell flange. The TE Connectivity substitutes (5745988-6 and 747836-6) feature a mating side female screwlock (4-40), providing threaded retention at the mating interface. The Mercury parts (626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032) have a housing/shell (4-40) flange with threaded mounting holes. These differences affect mechanical retention and installation methods.

Q: Can I use the Mercury parts if my application requires board edge mounting?

A: Yes. The Mercury parts (626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032) support board edge mounting in addition to through-hole and right-angle configurations. The FCE17E09SC29B and TE Connectivity substitutes support only through-hole and right-angle mounting. If board edge mounting is required, the Mercury parts are the only suitable options among these substitutes.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The FCE17E09SC29B packaging is not specified in the provided data. The TE Connectivity 5745988-6 is supplied in trays (1546 units in stock), the TE Connectivity 747836-6 is supplied in tubes (1083 units in stock), and the Mercury parts (626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032) are supplied in bulk (827 and 865 units in stock, respectively). Packaging selection may affect handling, storage, and procurement logistics.

Q: Which substitute offers the best overall compatibility with the FCE17E09SC29B?

A: The TE Connectivity 747836-6 provides the closest functional match with identical backset spacing (0.590"), matching contact material (phosphor bronze), and equivalent electrical specifications (6A current rating, 125V voltage rating, -55°C ~ 105°C operating range). The primary differences are flange configuration (mating side female screwlock versus unthreaded housing/shell) and RoHS status classification. Selection depends on whether these differences align with your application requirements.
