Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 Series (5745988-6, 5747836-6, 747836-6):

These three TE Connectivity parts are direct functional equivalents with enhanced electrical performance. All three maintain the 9-position, 2-row D-Sub receptacle configuration with through-hole, right-angle solder termination. The TE Connectivity parts provide higher current ratings (6A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). Parts 5747836-6 and 747836-6 include board lock and ground strap features. Part 5745988-6 is packaged in trays, while 5747836-6 and 747836-6 are supplied in tubes. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed for 5745988-6 and 5747836-6. Part 747836-6 carries RoHS status as not applicable.

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

These Mercury parts maintain the 9-position, 2-row D-Sub receptacle configuration with through-hole, right-angle solder termination and board edge mounting capability. Both parts feature board lock, mounting brackets, and shielding. Current rating is specified as 3A per contact, which is lower than the FCE17E09SC400 (5A). Backset spacing is 0.584" (14.84mm), representing a 0.006" (0.15mm) variance from the primary part. Both Mercury parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Contact finish thickness differs: 626-009-262-032 specifies flash thickness, while 626-009-662-032 specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm).

Compliance and Regulatory Status:

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. TE Connectivity parts 5745988-6 and 5747836-6 are ROHS3 compliant. Mercury parts 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. All parts are actively produced and available in inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series parts be used as direct replacements for the FCE17E09SC400?

A: Yes. Parts 5745988-6, 5747836-6, and 747836-6 are functionally equivalent 9-position D-Sub receptacles with through-hole, right-angle solder termination. All three maintain the same shell size (1, DE/E), backset spacing (0.590"), and gold-plated contacts. The TE Connectivity parts provide higher current ratings (6A) and extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 105°C). Packaging differs: 5745988-6 is supplied in trays, while 5747836-6 and 747836-6 are supplied in tubes.

Q: What are the key differences between the Mercury 626 series parts and the primary FCE17E09SC400?

A: Mercury parts 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 maintain the 9-position, 2-row D-Sub receptacle configuration with solder termination. Key differences include: current rating of 3A per contact (lower than the 5A rating of FCE17E09SC400), backset spacing of 0.584" (0.006" variance from 0.590"), board edge mounting capability in addition to through-hole mounting, and inclusion of mounting brackets and shielding. Shell finish is nickel plated rather than tin plated.

Q: Are there current rating limitations when substituting the Mercury 626 series parts?

A: Yes. Mercury parts 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 are rated at 3A per contact, which is lower than the FCE17E09SC400 (5A). Applications requiring current levels between 3A and 5A per contact should use TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series parts (5745988-6, 5747836-6, or 747836-6), which are rated at 6A.

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

A: Mercury parts 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 specify backset spacing of 0.584" (14.84mm), compared to 0.590" (14.99mm) for the FCE17E09SC400. This 0.006" (0.15mm) variance is within typical connector manufacturing tolerances but should be verified against specific PCB layout requirements before substitution.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards as the FCE17E09SC400?

A: All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. TE Connectivity parts 5745988-6 and 5747836-6 are ROHS3 compliant. Mercury parts 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Part 747836-6 carries RoHS status as not applicable. All parts are actively produced.

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

A: TE Connectivity 5745988-6 is supplied in trays. TE Connectivity 5747836-6 and 747836-6 are supplied in tubes. Mercury parts 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection should align with procurement and assembly workflow requirements.

Q: Are the TE Connectivity parts with board lock and ground strap features functionally compatible with applications designed for the FCE17E09SC400?

A: Yes. Parts 5747836-6 and 747836-6 include board lock and ground strap features in addition to the core 9-position D-Sub receptacle functionality. These features provide enhanced mechanical stability and grounding capability without affecting electrical compatibility with standard D-Sub plug connectors. Applications not requiring these features can use part 5745988-6, which omits the ground strap.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference between the FCE17E09SC400 and the TE Connectivity substitute parts?

A: The FCE17E09SC400 operates from -40°C to 85°C. TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series parts (5745988-6, 5747836-6, 747836-6) operate from -55°C to 105°C, providing extended low-temperature and high-temperature capability. Mercury parts 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 operate from -55°C to 85°C, extending low-temperature range while maintaining the upper temperature limit of the primary part.
