FCE17E09SC440 D-Sub 9-Position Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCE17E09SC440 is a 9-position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC, featuring right-angle through-hole solder termination. This connector is classified as active product status and is designed for signal applications requiring reliable board-level interconnection. The connector employs a DE/E shell size (Size 1) configuration with female socket contacts and tin-plated steel housing.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters: connector style (D-Sub), type (receptacle with female sockets), position count (9), shell size (DE/E), mounting orientation (right-angle through-hole), and termination method (solder). Alternative sources become necessary for supply chain continuity, inventory availability, or specific application requirements within the allowed parameter range.

• Shell size: 1 (DE, E)
• Mounting: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Contact finish: Gold
• Flammability: UL94 V-0
• MSL: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowed Parameter Variations: Substitutes may differ in the following parameters while maintaining functional compatibility:

• Manufacturer and series designation
• Shell material finish (tin-plated or nickel-plated steel)
• Contact finish thickness (15.0µin to 30.0µin)
• Current rating (3A to 6A per contact)
• Operating temperature range (minimum -55°C, maximum up to 105°C)
• Flange feature design (housing/shell vs. mating side screwlock)
• Additional features (board lock, ground strap, shielding, mounting brackets)
• Packaging format (tray, tube, bulk)
• RoHS compliance variant (RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant)

Four substitute part numbers meet these criteria: 5745988-6, 626-009-262-032, 626-009-662-032, and 747836-6.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 5745988-6 and 747836-6 (AMPLIMITE HD-20 Series): Both 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). These parts feature phosphor bronze contacts matching the main part specification. The 5745988-6 is supplied in tray packaging, while 747836-6 is supplied in tube packaging. Both include ground strap features and female screwlock mating-side flanges. The 5745988-6 carries ROHS3 Compliant status with REACH Unaffected designation. The 747836-6 carries REACH Affected status and RoHS status not applicable. Selection between these two depends on packaging requirements and REACH compliance needs.

Mercury United Electronics 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 (Series 626): Both Mercury parts support board edge mounting in addition to through-hole mounting, providing layout flexibility. These parts feature copper alloy contacts and polyester thermoplastic dielectric material. Current rating is specified as 3A per contact, which is lower than the main part. Contact finish thickness differs: 626-009-262-032 specifies flash thickness, while 626-009-662-032 specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm). Both include board lock, mounting brackets, and shielding features. Backset spacing is 0.584" (14.84mm) versus 0.590" (14.99mm) on the main part. Both carry ROHS3 Compliant status with REACH Unaffected designation. These parts are suitable for applications where lower current per contact is acceptable and additional mechanical mounting flexibility is beneficial.

Selection Criteria:

• For applications requiring maximum current capacity and extended temperature range: select TE Connectivity 5745988-6 or 747836-6
• For applications requiring board edge mounting capability and shielding: select Mercury 626-009-262-032 or 626-009-662-032
• For REACH compliance requirements: select TE Connectivity 5745988-6 or Mercury parts; avoid 747836-6
• For tray packaging: select 5745988-6
• For tube packaging: select 747836-6
• For bulk packaging: select Mercury parts

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17E09SC440 be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Direct replacement is possible within the constraints of your application's electrical and mechanical requirements. All substitute parts share the same connector style (D-Sub), type (receptacle with female sockets), position count (9), shell size (DE/E), mounting orientation (right-angle through-hole), and termination method (solder). However, verify that your application can accommodate variations in current rating, operating temperature range, flange design, and backset spacing before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference between the main part (0.590") and Mercury parts (0.584")?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the mounting flange to the rear of the connector body. The 0.006" (0.15mm) difference between Amphenol/TE parts and Mercury parts may affect board layout and clearance calculations. Verify that your PCB design accommodates the specific backset spacing of the selected substitute before implementation.

Q: Why do Mercury parts have a lower current rating (3A per contact) compared to the main part (5A)?

A: Current rating is determined by contact material, contact geometry, and thermal design. Mercury parts employ copper alloy contacts with polyester thermoplastic dielectric, while the main part uses phosphor bronze contacts with glass-filled thermoplastic. Applications requiring 5A or higher per contact should select TE Connectivity substitutes (5745988-6 or 747836-6) rated at 6A, or confirm that 3A per contact is sufficient for your circuit requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the flange features on these parts?

A: The main part (FCE17E09SC440) and Mercury parts feature housing/shell flanges with 4-40 mounting holes. TE Connectivity parts (5745988-6 and 747836-6) feature mating-side female screwlock flanges with 4-40 mounting. Housing/shell flanges mount on the rear of the connector body, while mating-side screwlock flanges mount on the front mating interface. Select based on your mechanical mounting requirements and available board space.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: TE Connectivity 5745988-6 and Mercury parts (626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032) carry ROHS3 Compliant status. TE Connectivity 747836-6 carries RoHS status not applicable. The main part carries RoHS Compliant status. Verify RoHS compliance requirements for your application and select accordingly.

Q: What is the difference between REACH Unaffected and REACH Affected status?

A: REACH Unaffected indicates that the part is not subject to REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) regulatory requirements. REACH Affected indicates that the part may contain substances of concern under REACH regulations. If your application or market requires REACH compliance, select TE Connectivity 5745988-6 or Mercury parts (REACH Unaffected), and avoid 747836-6 (REACH Affected).

Q: Can I use Mercury parts with board edge mounting in applications where the main part is used?

A: Mercury parts support both board edge and through-hole mounting, providing additional flexibility. However, verify that your PCB design and mechanical assembly process can accommodate board edge mounting if you intend to use this feature. If your application uses only through-hole mounting, Mercury parts function identically to the main part in this configuration, subject to the current rating and backset spacing constraints noted above.

Q: What packaging options are available for these 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. Select based on your procurement, storage, and assembly process requirements.

Q: How do the operating temperature ranges compare?

A: The main part operates from -40°C to 85°C. TE Connectivity parts operate from -55°C to 105°C, providing extended low and high temperature capability. Mercury parts operate from -55°C to 85°C, providing extended low temperature capability but matching the main part's high temperature limit. Select based on your application's thermal environment requirements.
