Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCE17E09SC680 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Primary Matching 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 finish: Gold
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Backset spacing tolerance (0.590" ± acceptable variance)
• Operating temperature range overlap
• Current rating capability (minimum 5A)
• RoHS and regulatory compliance status

All identified substitute parts meet these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in contact finish thickness, shell material finish (tin versus nickel plating), flange features, and packaging format do not affect functional interchangeability in standard D-Sub receptacle applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

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

The 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 are suitable for applications requiring higher thermal performance or increased current capacity. The 5747836-6 and 747836-6 variants include board lock features. The 5745988-6 variant is packaged in trays. All three maintain UL94 V-0 compliance. The 5747836-6 carries RoHS Compliant status, while 5745988-6 carries ROHS3 Compliant status. The 747836-6 is not subject to RoHS classification.

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

The Mercury parts feature shielded construction with mounting brackets and board lock capabilities. These connectors are specified for board edge mounting in addition to through-hole mounting. Current rating is 3A per contact, which is lower than the primary part. Both variants carry ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected certifications. Backset spacing is 0.584" (14.84mm), representing a minor variance from the primary part specification. These parts are suitable for applications requiring shielded signal transmission and mechanical mounting bracket support.

Selection Basis:

All substitute parts maintain active product status and UL94 V-0 flammability compliance. Selection between substitutes depends on application-specific requirements for current capacity, operating temperature range, shielding requirements, and mounting configuration. The TE Connectivity parts provide superior electrical performance characteristics, while the Mercury parts provide enhanced mechanical integration features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 747836-6 directly replace the FCE17E09SC680?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical core specifications: 9-position D-Sub receptacle, female sockets, DE/E shell size, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, and gold-plated contacts. The 747836-6 provides higher current rating (6A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 85°C), making it functionally compatible and electrically superior for most applications.

Q: What is the difference between 5747836-6 and 747836-6?

A: Both are TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series 9-position D-Sub receptacles with identical electrical specifications. The primary difference is packaging: 5747836-6 is supplied in tubes, while 747836-6 is also supplied in tubes. Both include board lock and ground strap features. The 5747836-6 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while 747836-6 is not subject to RoHS classification.

Q: Why do the Mercury 626 series parts have lower current ratings (3A per contact)?

A: The Mercury parts are specified at 3A per contact, compared to 5A for the primary part and 6A for the TE Connectivity substitutes. This specification difference reflects the contact design and material composition. Applications requiring the full 5A current capacity should use the TE Connectivity alternatives or the primary Amphenol part.

Q: Are the Mercury 626 series parts suitable for my application?

A: The Mercury parts are functionally compatible for 9-position D-Sub receptacle applications. However, verify that your application current requirements do not exceed 3A per contact. The Mercury parts offer additional features including shielding and mounting brackets, which may be beneficial for specific installations. Backset spacing is 0.584" (14.84mm) versus 0.590" (14.99mm) for the primary part; this minor variance is within standard D-Sub tolerance specifications.

Q: What does "Board Lock" feature mean?

A: Board lock is a mechanical feature that secures the connector to the printed circuit board during assembly and operation. This feature prevents accidental disconnection and provides mechanical stability. The FCE17E09SC680 includes board lock; most substitute parts also include this feature.

Q: Can I use these connectors interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Yes, for standard D-Sub receptacle applications. All substitute parts maintain the same 9-position, 2-row configuration with DE/E shell size and through-hole right-angle mounting. Verify that your application does not depend on specific flange features or current ratings that differ between parts. The TE Connectivity parts provide enhanced performance characteristics suitable for demanding applications.

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

A: The primary part specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold contact finish thickness, while most substitutes specify 30.0µin (0.76µm). The Mercury parts specify flash thickness. Thicker gold plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact durability in high-cycle mating applications. All specified finishes meet standard D-Sub contact reliability requirements.

Q: Are all these parts RoHS compliant?

A: The primary part FCE17E09SC680 is RoHS Compliant. Among substitutes, 5747836-6 and 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 carry ROHS3 Compliant status. The 5745988-6 carries ROHS3 Compliant status. The 747836-6 is not subject to RoHS classification. Verify RoHS compliance requirements for your specific application and regulatory jurisdiction.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference between parts?

A: The primary part operates from -40°C to 85°C. The TE Connectivity parts (747836-6, 5747836-6, 5745988-6) operate from -55°C to 105°C, providing extended low-temperature and high-temperature capability. The Mercury parts operate from -55°C to 85°C. Select parts based on your application's thermal environment requirements.
