Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FCE17E09SC4EB is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Equivalence 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)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Current rating (5A minimum)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C minimum)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Shell material (Steel)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Parametric Equivalent: FCE17E09SC44B differs only in packaging (Box versus unspecified) while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Similar Parts with Acceptable Variations: Parts 5745988-6, 626-009-262-032, 626-009-662-032, and 747836-6 share core connector geometry and function but contain measurable differences in current rating, operating temperature, contact finish thickness, flange features, or shell finish. These parts are suitable substitutes when application requirements accommodate the specified parameter variations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent Selection:

FCE17E09SC44B is the direct parametric equivalent to FCE17E09SC4EB. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. Selection between these two parts is determined solely by packaging requirements and inventory availability. FCE17E09SC44B is packaged in Box format with higher inventory (1209 units).

Substitute Selection with Parameter Variations:

Parts 5745988-6 and 747836-6 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors, AMPLIMITE HD-20 series) are suitable substitutes when applications accommodate the following variations:

• Increased current rating (6A versus 5A)
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 85°C)
• Increased contact finish thickness (30.0µin versus 15.0µin)
• Specified voltage rating (125V)
• Different flange feature (Mating Side, Female Screwlock versus Board Side)

These parts carry ROHS3 compliance and are available in higher quantities (1546 and 1083 units respectively).

Parts 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 (Mercury United Electronics, 626 series) are suitable substitutes when applications accommodate the following variations:

• Reduced current rating (3A per contact versus 5A)
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C)
• Nickel-plated shell finish (versus tin-plated)
• Board edge mounting capability in addition to through-hole
• Different flange feature (Housing/Shell versus Board Side)
• Copper alloy contact material (versus phosphor bronze)
• Polyester thermoplastic dielectric (versus glass-filled thermoplastic)
• Flash contact finish thickness (versus 15.0µin)

These parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 material flammability rating. RoHS compliance status varies: FCE17E09SC4EB and FCE17E09SC44B are RoHS Compliant; 5745988-6, 626-009-262-032, and 626-009-662-032 are ROHS3 Compliant; 747836-6 carries Not applicable status. REACH status is specified as REACH Unaffected for Mercury United Electronics parts and REACH Affected for TE Connectivity 747836-6.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17E09SC44B be used as a direct replacement for FCE17E09SC4EB?

A: Yes. FCE17E09SC44B is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is packaging format (Box versus unspecified). Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC in the FCE17 series and maintain the same 9-position, right-angle, solder-terminated configuration.

Q: What are the key differences between the Amphenol FCE17 series and TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series substitutes?

A: The TE Connectivity parts (5745988-6 and 747836-6) provide higher current rating (6A versus 5A), extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 85°C), and thicker gold contact finish (30.0µin versus 15.0µin). The flange feature differs: TE Connectivity uses Mating Side Female Screwlock while Amphenol uses Board Side. Both maintain identical shell size, position count, and solder termination.

Q: Are Mercury United Electronics 626 series parts suitable for all applications using FCE17E09SC4EB?

A: Mercury United Electronics 626 series parts (626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032) share the same 9-position D-Sub receptacle configuration but have reduced current rating (3A per contact versus 5A). These parts are suitable only for applications where the lower current rating is acceptable. Additional differences include nickel-plated shell finish, board edge mounting capability, and polyester thermoplastic dielectric material.

Q: What is the significance of backset spacing differences between parts?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting surface to the rear of the connector body. FCE17E09SC4EB, FCE17E09SC44B, 5745988-6, and 747836-6 maintain 0.590" (14.99mm) spacing. Mercury United Electronics 626 series parts specify 0.584" (14.84mm). This 0.006" difference may affect board layout and mounting clearance in space-constrained applications.

Q: How do contact finish thickness variations affect connector performance?

A: Contact finish thickness is specified as 15.0µin (0.38µm) for FCE17E09SC4EB and FCE17E09SC44B, while substitute parts range from Flash to 30.0µin (0.76µm). Thicker gold plating provides enhanced wear resistance and corrosion protection in high-cycle mating applications. Flash plating provides minimal protection. Selection depends on application duty cycle and environmental exposure requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available for these D-Sub connectors?

A: FCE17E09SC4EB packaging is unspecified. Substitute parts are available in the following packaging formats: FCE17E09SC44B (Box), 5745988-6 (Tray), 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 (Bulk), and 747836-6 (Tube). Packaging selection affects handling, storage, and integration into assembly processes.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: RoHS compliance status varies. FCE17E09SC4EB and FCE17E09SC44B are RoHS Compliant. Parts 5745988-6, 626-009-262-032, and 626-009-662-032 are ROHS3 Compliant. Part 747836-6 carries Not applicable status. Applications requiring RoHS compliance should verify the specific regulatory requirement before part selection.

Q: What is the difference between Board Side and Mating Side flange features?

A: Board Side flange (FCE17E09SC4EB, FCE17E09SC44B, 626 series) positions the mounting flange on the circuit board side of the connector. Mating Side Female Screwlock flange (5745988-6, 747836-6) positions the flange on the mating connector side and includes screwlock features for secure mating. Flange position affects board layout and connector engagement mechanism.

Q: Can parts with different operating temperature ranges be substituted?

A: Substitution is acceptable only when the application operating temperature range falls within the substitute part's specification. FCE17E09SC4EB operates -40°C to 85°C. TE Connectivity parts extend to -55°C to 105°C, providing broader environmental capability. Mercury United Electronics parts operate -55°C to 85°C. Selection must ensure the substitute part's temperature range encompasses the application requirement.
