Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCE17E09SC410 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching 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

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Shell material and finish (Steel, Tin Plated or equivalent)
• Contact finish (Gold plating)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Operating temperature range (must encompass or exceed -40°C to 85°C)
• Current rating (must meet or exceed 5A requirement)
• Backset spacing tolerance (0.590" ± acceptable variance)

All identified substitute parts meet the primary matching criteria. Variations in secondary parameters such as contact finish thickness, current rating, and extended temperature ranges represent enhanced or equivalent performance characteristics that do not preclude substitution. Differences in flange features (Housing/Shell versus Mating Side Screwlock) and packaging formats (Tray, Tube, Bulk) are mechanical and logistical considerations that do not affect electrical or functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

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

Both TE Connectivity parts (5745988-6 and 747836-6) are functionally equivalent to the FCE17E09SC410. These connectors feature identical shell size, position count, and mounting configuration. The TE Connectivity parts provide enhanced current rating (6A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 85°C). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant or unaffected by REACH regulations. The primary distinction between 5745988-6 and 747836-6 is packaging format (Tray versus Tube). Selection between these two should be based on procurement and assembly workflow requirements. The 747836-6 carries REACH Affected status, while 5745988-6 is REACH Unaffected.

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

Both Mercury parts are direct substitutes with identical electrical and mechanical characteristics. These connectors feature nickel-plated steel shells and support board edge mounting in addition to through-hole configuration. The 626-009-662-032 provides specified contact finish thickness (30.0µin), while 626-009-262-032 specifies flash plating. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Current rating is specified as 3A per contact, which is lower than the FCE17E09SC410 (5A). Mercury parts include shielding and mounting bracket features. Backset spacing is 0.584" (14.84mm), representing a 0.15mm variance from the primary part specification.

Compliance and Regulatory Status

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification. The FCE17E09SC410 is RoHS compliant. TE Connectivity parts are ROHS3 compliant or unaffected by REACH. Mercury parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection should account for specific regulatory requirements of the end application and target market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5745988-6 or 747836-6 directly replace the FCE17E09SC410?

A: Yes. Both TE Connectivity parts are direct functional equivalents. They share identical connector topology (9-position D-Sub receptacle, female sockets, DE/E shell size), mounting method (through-hole, right-angle), and termination (solder). Enhanced specifications (6A current rating, -55°C to 105°C operating range) represent performance improvements that do not preclude substitution. Packaging differences (Tray for 5745988-6, Tube for 747836-6) are logistical considerations only.

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

A: Both Mercury parts are electrically and mechanically identical. The primary difference is contact finish thickness specification: 626-009-262-032 specifies flash plating, while 626-009-662-032 specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating. Both parts support board edge and through-hole mounting and include shielding and mounting bracket features. Selection between these two should be based on contact durability requirements and mating cycle specifications for the application.

Q: Are there current rating limitations when substituting with Mercury parts?

A: Mercury parts 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 specify 3A per contact current rating, compared to 5A for the FCE17E09SC410. If the application requires sustained current draw exceeding 3A per contact, Mercury parts are not suitable substitutes. TE Connectivity parts (5745988-6 and 747836-6) provide 6A current rating and are suitable for applications requiring the full 5A specification of the original part.

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

A: Mercury parts specify 0.584" (14.84mm) backset spacing, compared to 0.590" (14.99mm) for the FCE17E09SC410. This 0.15mm variance is within typical manufacturing tolerance for D-Sub connectors and does not affect mating compatibility or electrical performance. However, if the circuit board layout has been designed with tight mechanical tolerances specific to the 0.590" dimension, this variance should be verified against board design specifications.

Q: Which substitute part is recommended for applications requiring extended temperature operation?

A: TE Connectivity parts 5745988-6 and 747836-6 both support -55°C to 105°C operating range, compared to -40°C to 85°C for the FCE17E09SC410. These parts are recommended for applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 85°C. Mercury parts support -55°C to 85°C, providing lower temperature capability but not extended upper temperature range.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The FCE17E09SC410 is RoHS compliant. TE Connectivity 5745988-6 is ROHS3 compliant. TE Connectivity 747836-6 carries "Not applicable" RoHS status. Mercury parts 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 are both ROHS3 compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance certification, TE Connectivity 5745988-6 and Mercury parts are explicitly compliant. Verify specific regulatory requirements for the target market before final part selection.

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

A: TE Connectivity 5745988-6 is supplied in Tray packaging. TE Connectivity 747836-6 is supplied in Tube packaging. Mercury parts 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection should align with procurement volume, assembly line automation requirements, and inventory management practices.

Q: Can the FCE17E09SC410 be substituted with parts from different manufacturers in the same assembly?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications for D-Sub 9-position receptacle connectivity. Mixed-manufacturer assemblies are permissible provided each part meets the application's electrical, thermal, and compliance requirements. However, procurement and quality assurance processes should account for supplier-specific documentation and certification requirements.
