Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for D-Sub 9 position receptacle connectors is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector style (D-Sub)
• Connector type (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
• Number of positions (9)
• Number of rows (2)
• Shell size and layout (1 / DE, E)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact finish (Gold)

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Backset spacing tolerance (0.590" ± acceptable variance)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0 minimum)
• Operating temperature range (must encompass or exceed -40°C ~ 85°C)
• RoHS compliance status (RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant acceptable)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

Performance Enhancement Parameters (Allowable Variations):

• Current rating (5A minimum; higher ratings acceptable)
• Contact finish thickness (15.0µin minimum; higher thickness acceptable)
• Shell material finish (Steel, Tin Plated or Steel, Nickel Plated acceptable)
• Voltage rating (if specified in substitute, must be ≥ application requirement)
• Flange feature type (Housing/Shell or Mating Side variants acceptable)

All four substitute parts meet the primary and secondary compatibility criteria and are therefore direct functional equivalents for the FCE17E09SC2EB.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

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

This substitute provides enhanced current rating (6A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). The part carries ROHS3 compliance certification and is packaged in trays. The contact finish thickness of 30.0µin exceeds the primary part specification. This option is suitable for applications requiring higher thermal performance or increased current capacity within the same form factor.

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

This substitute is functionally equivalent to 5745988-6 with identical electrical and thermal specifications. The primary distinction is packaging format (tube versus tray). The part carries REACH Affected status, indicating applicability to European regulatory frameworks. This option is suitable when tube packaging aligns with manufacturing or inventory management requirements.

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

This substitute features nickel-plated steel shell finish and flash gold contact finish. The backset spacing tolerance is 0.584" (14.84mm), representing a 0.15mm variance from the primary part. Current rating is specified as 3A per contact, which is lower than the primary part. This option is suitable for applications with lower current requirements and when board edge mounting capability is beneficial. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed.

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

This substitute is functionally equivalent to 626-009-262-032 with identical specifications except for contact finish thickness (30.0µin versus flash). The enhanced contact finish thickness provides improved durability. This option is suitable for applications with lower current requirements and when board edge mounting capability is beneficial. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed.

Compliance Considerations

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level. The TE Connectivity parts (5745988-6 and 747836-6) provide ROHS3 compliance with extended temperature performance. The Mercury parts (626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032) provide ROHS3 compliance with board edge mounting options. Selection should account for specific regulatory requirements and thermal operating conditions of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 626-009-262-032 or 626-009-662-032 be used as direct replacements for the FCE17E09SC2EB?

A: These Mercury parts are functionally compatible as 9 position D-Sub receptacles with solder termination and gold-plated contacts. However, the backset spacing differs by 0.15mm (0.584" versus 0.590"), and the current rating is lower (3A per contact versus 5A). Applications operating below 3A per contact and tolerating the spacing variance can use these parts. Board edge mounting capability is an additional feature not present in the primary part.

Q: What is the difference between 5745988-6 and 747836-6?

A: Both parts are TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series connectors with identical electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is packaging format: 5745988-6 is supplied in trays, while 747836-6 is supplied in tubes. RoHS compliance status differs (ROHS3 Compliant versus Not applicable). Selection depends on packaging requirements and regulatory framework applicability.

Q: Are the Mercury parts (626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032) interchangeable with each other?

A: Yes, these parts are interchangeable. The primary difference is contact finish thickness: 626-009-262-032 has flash gold finish, while 626-009-662-032 has 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold finish. The thicker finish on 626-009-662-032 provides enhanced contact durability. All other specifications are identical.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing variance in the Mercury parts?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting surface to the contact plane. The Mercury parts specify 0.584" (14.84mm) versus 0.590" (14.99mm) for the primary part, a difference of 0.15mm. This variance is within typical PCB design tolerances for through-hole mounting but should be verified against specific board layout requirements before substitution.

Q: Can I use the TE Connectivity parts (5745988-6 or 747836-6) in applications with the same current and temperature requirements as the FCE17E09SC2EB?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity parts exceed the primary part specifications with 6A current rating (versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). These parts are suitable for applications matching or exceeding the primary part requirements and provide enhanced performance margin.

Q: What packaging options are available across all substitute parts?

A: Packaging formats vary: FCE17E09SC2EB is supplied in standard packaging (not specified), 5745988-6 in trays, 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 in bulk, and 747836-6 in tubes. Manufacturing processes may have specific packaging requirements; selection should account for assembly line compatibility and inventory management procedures.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The FCE17E09SC2EB is RoHS Compliant. The TE Connectivity parts (5745988-6 and 747836-6) are ROHS3 Compliant. The Mercury parts (626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032) are ROHS3 Compliant. All parts meet RoHS requirements; however, the specific RoHS version should be verified against application regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the contact material composition for each part?

A: The FCE17E09SC2EB and TE Connectivity parts (5745988-6 and 747836-6) use Phosphor Bronze contacts. The Mercury parts (626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032) use Copper Alloy contacts. Both materials are suitable for gold-plated signal contacts in D-Sub applications.

Q: Can the Mercury parts be used in high-temperature applications?

A: The Mercury parts operate within -55°C ~ 85°C range, which covers the primary part's -40°C ~ 85°C requirement. For applications requiring operation above 85°C, the TE Connectivity parts (5745988-6 and 747836-6) with -55°C ~ 105°C range are required.
