FCE17E09SC640 D-Sub 9-Position Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCE17E09SC640 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 a DE/E shell size configuration with female socket contacts. The connector incorporates board lock and filter features with a tin-plated steel shell and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part number becomes unavailable, when alternative packaging formats are required for manufacturing processes, or when design specifications allow for functionally compatible alternatives from different manufacturers that meet the same electrical and mechanical requirements.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FCE17E09SC640 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution 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
• Contact type: Signal
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Shell material and finish (Steel, Tin Plated or equivalent)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze or Copper Alloy)
• Operating temperature range (must encompass or exceed -40°C ~ 85°C)
• Current rating (must meet or exceed 5A)
• Product status: Active

The substitute parts listed below meet all primary substitution criteria. Variations in packaging format, contact finish thickness, flange features, and voltage ratings do not preclude substitution when the core electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 Series (747836-6, 5747836-6, 5745988-6):

These three TE Connectivity parts are functionally equivalent to the FCE17E09SC640 across all primary substitution criteria. All three maintain active product status and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The TE Connectivity parts provide enhanced current rating (6A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C), offering superior performance margins.

• 747836-6: Tube packaging, includes board lock and ground strap features
• 5747836-6: Tube packaging, includes board lock and ground strap features, RoHS Compliant designation
• 5745988-6: Tray packaging, includes ground strap feature, ROHS3 Compliant designation

All three TE Connectivity parts feature phosphor bronze contacts with 30.0µin gold plating and tin-plated steel shells. Selection among these three should be based on packaging requirements and RoHS compliance documentation needs for the end application.

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

These Mercury parts meet all primary substitution criteria and maintain active product status with UL94 V-0 compliance. Both parts feature nickel-plated steel shells and copper alloy contacts with gold plating. The Mercury parts support board edge mounting in addition to through-hole mounting and include shielding and mounting bracket features.

Current rating for Mercury parts is specified as 3A per contact, which is lower than the FCE17E09SC640 (5A). Operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 85°C, which encompasses the original part's range. Both Mercury parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

• 626-009-262-032: Flash gold contact finish thickness
• 626-009-662-032: 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold contact finish thickness

Mercury parts are suitable for applications where the 3A per contact current rating is acceptable and where board edge mounting capability or shielding features provide design advantages.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17E09SC640 be directly replaced with any of the listed substitute parts?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts meet the primary substitution criteria: 9-position D-Sub receptacle configuration, female sockets, DE/E shell size, right-angle through-hole solder termination, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level. Direct mechanical and electrical substitution is supported.

Q: What are the differences in current rating between the main part and substitutes?

A: The FCE17E09SC640 is rated for 5A. The TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series parts (747836-6, 5747836-6, 5745988-6) are rated for 6A, providing higher current capacity. The Mercury 626 series parts (626-009-262-032, 626-009-662-032) are rated for 3A per contact. Applications requiring the full 5A rating should use TE Connectivity substitutes or confirm that Mercury parts meet the specific current requirements.

Q: How do operating temperature ranges compare?

A: The FCE17E09SC640 operates from -40°C to 85°C. TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series parts extend this range to -55°C ~ 105°C, providing broader temperature capability. Mercury 626 series parts operate from -55°C ~ 85°C, extending the lower temperature limit but maintaining the same upper limit as the original part.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitutes?

A: The FCE17E09SC640 packaging format is not specified in the provided data. TE Connectivity substitutes are available in tube packaging (747836-6, 5747836-6) or tray packaging (5745988-6). Mercury substitutes are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection should align with manufacturing process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between substitutes?

A: The FCE17E09SC640 is RoHS Compliant. TE Connectivity 5747836-6 is RoHS Compliant, and 5745988-6 is ROHS3 Compliant. TE Connectivity 747836-6 has RoHS status listed as "Not applicable." Mercury parts (626-009-262-032, 626-009-662-032) are ROHS3 Compliant. Applications requiring specific RoHS certification should select parts with matching compliance designations.

Q: What is the difference between tin-plated and nickel-plated shell finishes?

A: The FCE17E09SC640 features a tin-plated steel shell. TE Connectivity substitutes also use tin-plated steel shells. Mercury substitutes use nickel-plated steel shells. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and are suitable for standard industrial applications. Shell finish selection may be driven by specific environmental or compatibility requirements in the end application.

Q: Do all substitutes include the same features as the FCE17E09SC640?

A: The FCE17E09SC640 includes board lock and filter features. TE Connectivity 747836-6 and 5747836-6 include board lock and ground strap features. TE Connectivity 5745988-6 includes ground strap feature. Mercury parts include board lock, mounting brackets, and shielding features. Feature variations should be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Q: What contact material differences exist between substitutes?

A: The FCE17E09SC640 uses phosphor bronze contacts. TE Connectivity substitutes also use phosphor bronze contacts. Mercury substitutes use copper alloy contacts. Both materials are suitable for signal applications and provide reliable electrical performance. Contact material selection may be driven by specific environmental or compatibility requirements.

Q: How do contact finish thicknesses compare?

A: The FCE17E09SC640 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold contact finish thickness. TE Connectivity substitutes provide 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, offering enhanced durability and wear resistance. Mercury 626-009-262-032 specifies flash thickness, while 626-009-662-032 provides 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. Thicker gold plating generally provides longer service life in high-cycle mating applications.

Q: Are there voltage rating differences?

A: The FCE17E09SC640 voltage rating is not specified. TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series parts are rated for 125V. Mercury 626 series parts do not specify a voltage rating. Applications with specific voltage requirements should confirm compatibility with the selected substitute part.
