Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):

5745988-6 and 747836-6 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, AMPLIMITE HD-20 series) are the most direct equivalents to the FCE17E09SC480. Both parts share identical connector topology, mounting configuration, and backset spacing. These substitutes provide enhanced current rating (6A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 85°C). Both are UL94 V-0 rated and feature gold-plated contacts with superior finish thickness (30.0µin). The 5745988-6 is packaged in trays, while 747836-6 is supplied in tubes. The 747836-6 includes board lock and ground strap features. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed for 5745988-6; 747836-6 carries REACH Affected status.

Secondary Substitutes (Conditional Compatibility):

626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 (Mercury United Electronics, Inc., 626 series) are functionally compatible but present design considerations. Both parts feature board edge mounting capability in addition to through-hole mounting, and include shielding and mounting brackets. However, these parts are rated at 3A per contact, which is below the 5A rating of the FCE17E09SC480. The backset spacing differs slightly (0.584" versus 0.590"), requiring verification of PCB layout compatibility. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected. The 626-009-262-032 features flash gold plating, while 626-009-662-032 provides 30.0µin gold plating. Both operate across -55°C to 85°C.

Compliance and Certification Status:

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. The TE Connectivity parts (5745988-6 and 747836-6) provide enhanced environmental specifications with extended temperature ranges. Mercury United Electronics parts (626 series) offer additional mechanical features including shielding and mounting brackets. Selection should be based on specific application requirements regarding current capacity, temperature extremes, and mechanical mounting constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5745988-6 or 747836-6 be used as direct replacements for FCE17E09SC480?

A: Yes. Both TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series parts (5745988-6 and 747836-6) are direct functional equivalents. They share identical connector topology, shell size, position count, mounting type, and backset spacing. Both provide equal or superior electrical ratings and extended operating temperature ranges. The primary difference is packaging format: 5745988-6 is supplied in trays, while 747836-6 is supplied in tubes.

Q: What are the limitations of using 626-009-262-032 or 626-009-662-032 as substitutes?

A: The Mercury United Electronics 626 series parts have two key limitations. First, the current rating is 3A per contact, which is lower than the FCE17E09SC480 specification of 5A. Second, the backset spacing is 0.584" compared to 0.590", requiring verification that PCB hole patterns accommodate this 0.006" difference. These parts are suitable only for applications where current requirements do not exceed 3A per contact and where mechanical spacing is compatible.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The TE Connectivity part 5745988-6 is ROHS3 compliant. The Mercury United Electronics parts (626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH Unaffected. The TE Connectivity part 747836-6 carries "Not applicable" RoHS status but is REACH Affected. For applications requiring explicit RoHS3 compliance, 5745988-6 or the Mercury United Electronics parts are recommended.

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

A: Both parts are identical in connector topology, mounting configuration, and electrical ratings. The primary difference is contact finish thickness: 626-009-262-032 features flash gold plating, while 626-009-662-032 provides 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating. The thicker plating on 626-009-662-032 may provide enhanced durability in high-cycle mating applications.

Q: How do operating temperature ranges compare across substitute options?

A: The FCE17E09SC480 operates from -40°C to 85°C. The TE Connectivity parts (5745988-6 and 747836-6) extend this range to -55°C to 105°C, providing 15°C additional margin at both temperature extremes. The Mercury United Electronics parts (626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032) operate from -55°C to 85°C, matching the lower temperature limit of the TE Connectivity parts but not extending the upper limit.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: The FCE17E09SC480 is supplied in standard packaging (not specified). Substitute parts are available in multiple formats: 5745988-6 is packaged in trays, 747836-6 is supplied in tubes, and both Mercury United Electronics parts (626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032) are supplied in bulk packaging. Selection should consider procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Are there voltage rating differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The FCE17E09SC480 does not specify a voltage rating. The TE Connectivity substitutes (5745988-6 and 747836-6) are rated for 125V. The Mercury United Electronics parts do not specify voltage ratings. For applications requiring explicit voltage specifications, the TE Connectivity parts provide documented 125V capability.

Q: What additional features do substitute parts provide?

A: The TE Connectivity parts include ground strap features. The 747836-6 additionally includes board lock capability. The Mercury United Electronics 626 series parts include board lock, mounting brackets, and shielding features. These additional features may provide benefits for specific applications but are not present on the FCE17E09SC480.
