Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FCE17E09SC44B (Parametric Equivalent - Amphenol ICC)

This part is the direct parametric equivalent within the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the FCE17E09SC41B with the exception of packaging format (Box vs. unspecified). Both parts are RoHS Compliant and share the same operating temperature range, current rating, and contact specifications. Selection of FCE17E09SC44B is appropriate when higher inventory availability (1209 units) is required or when box packaging is preferred for component handling and storage.

5745988-6 (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20)

This substitute from TE Connectivity offers enhanced performance characteristics including higher current rating (6A vs. 5A), extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C vs. -40°C to 85°C), and thicker gold contact finish (30.0µin vs. 15.0µin). The part features mating side female screwlock flange configuration and includes a ground strap. ROHS3 compliance is maintained. Selection is appropriate for applications requiring higher current capacity or extended temperature operation. Backset spacing is identical at 0.590" (14.99mm).

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

These Mercury United parts provide alternative sourcing with board edge mounting capability in addition to through-hole right-angle configuration. Both feature nickel-plated steel shells, housing/shell flange design, and board lock with shielding features. Current rating is 3A per contact (lower than primary part). Contact finish thickness differs: 626-009-262-032 has flash thickness while 626-009-662-032 specifies 30.0µin. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C. Backset spacing is 0.584" (14.84mm), representing a 0.15mm variation from the primary part. ROHS3 compliance is maintained. Selection is appropriate when board edge mounting is required or when shielded configuration is necessary.

747836-6 (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20)

This substitute offers specifications identical to 5745988-6 with the exception of flange configuration (mating side female screwlock with board lock feature vs. mating side female screwlock only). Packaging is Tube format. Current rating is 6A with extended temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). RoHS status is not applicable; however, REACH Affected status is noted. Selection is appropriate when board lock feature is required in addition to enhanced performance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17E09SC44B be used as a direct replacement for FCE17E09SC41B?

A: Yes. FCE17E09SC44B is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is packaging format (Box vs. unspecified). Both parts maintain the same 9-position configuration, shell size (1 DE/E), solder termination, 5A current rating, and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). Both are RoHS Compliant.

Q: What are the key differences between the Amphenol ICC parts and the TE Connectivity alternatives?

A: TE Connectivity parts (5745988-6 and 747836-6) offer higher current rating (6A vs. 5A), extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C vs. -40°C to 85°C), and thicker gold contact finish (30.0µin vs. 15.0µin). Both feature mating side female screwlock flange configuration with ground strap. Backset spacing remains identical at 0.590" (14.99mm). These enhancements make TE Connectivity parts suitable for more demanding applications.

Q: Are Mercury United parts (626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032) compatible with the FCE17E09SC41B?

A: Mercury United parts maintain core compatibility in connector type, position count, shell size, and solder termination. However, they feature lower current rating (3A per contact vs. 5A), nickel-plated shells (vs. tin-plated), and slightly different backset spacing (0.584" vs. 0.590"). The primary advantage is board edge mounting capability and shielded configuration. Backset spacing variation of 0.15mm may require design verification for specific applications.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness differences?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance. The primary part FCE17E09SC41B specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold finish. Substitute parts 5745988-6, 626-009-662-032, and 747836-6 specify 30.0µin (0.76µm), providing double the thickness for enhanced contact longevity. Part 626-009-262-032 specifies flash thickness, which is minimal. Thicker finishes are beneficial for high-cycle mating applications.

Q: Can I use a substitute with a different current rating?

A: Current rating substitution depends on application requirements. The primary part is rated 5A. TE Connectivity alternatives (5745988-6, 747836-6) are rated 6A and are suitable for applications requiring equal or lower current. Mercury United parts are rated 3A per contact and are suitable only for applications requiring 3A or lower. Exceeding the rated current of any substitute part is not permitted.

Q: What is the impact of operating temperature range differences?

A: The primary part operates from -40°C to 85°C. TE Connectivity substitutes extend this to -55°C to 105°C, providing 15°C lower minimum and 20°C higher maximum operating temperatures. Mercury United parts operate from -55°C to 85°C. Selection of extended-range parts is appropriate for applications with extreme temperature requirements; however, standard-range parts are sufficient for applications within -40°C to 85°C.

Q: How do flange feature differences affect compatibility?

A: The primary part FCE17E09SC41B features board side (4-40) flange. Substitutes vary: FCE17E09SC44B maintains board side flange; TE Connectivity parts (5745988-6, 747836-6) feature mating side female screwlock; Mercury United parts (626-009-262-032, 626-009-662-032) feature housing/shell flange. Flange configuration affects mounting method and mechanical interface. Design verification is required when changing flange type.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Packaging formats vary by part: FCE17E09SC41B (unspecified), FCE17E09SC44B (Box), 5745988-6 (Tray), 626-009-262-032 (Bulk), 626-009-662-032 (Bulk), 747836-6 (Tube). Packaging selection affects component handling, storage, and procurement logistics but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: RoHS compliance status varies. FCE17E09SC41B and FCE17E09SC44B are RoHS Compliant. TE Connectivity parts (5745988-6, 747836-6) are ROHS3 Compliant or not applicable. Mercury United parts (626-009-262-032, 626-009-662-032) are ROHS3 Compliant. All parts meet current environmental compliance requirements. ROHS3 represents an updated compliance standard and is acceptable for new designs.
