Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCE17E09SC6D0 is determined by the following core parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector style: D-Sub
• Connector type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of positions: 9
• Number of rows: 2
• Shell size, connector layout: 1 (DE, E)
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Contact finish: Gold

Secondary Compatibility Considerations:

• Shell material and finish (Steel, Tin Plated or equivalent)
• Current rating (5A minimum)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C minimum)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status

The identified substitute parts meet all primary compatibility criteria. Variations in flange features, contact finish thickness, voltage ratings, and enhanced current ratings represent design improvements or alternative configurations that do not preclude functional substitution in applications designed for the FCE17E09SC6D0.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

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

These three TE Connectivity parts are functionally equivalent to the FCE17E09SC6D0 and offer enhanced electrical performance. All three are active products with ROHS3 or RoHS compliance. The 5745988-6 and 5747836-6 are ROHS3 compliant, while 747836-6 carries a "Not applicable" RoHS status. The TE Connectivity parts provide a higher current rating (6A versus 5A) and an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). Contact finish thickness is doubled (30.0µin versus 15.0µin), providing enhanced durability. All three parts feature phosphor bronze contacts and tin-plated steel shells. Flange configurations differ: 5745988-6 features a mating-side female screwlock; 5747836-6 and 747836-6 include both board lock and ground strap features. Packaging varies: 5745988-6 is supplied in trays, while 5747836-6 and 747836-6 are supplied in tubes.

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

These Mercury parts provide alternative configurations with board edge mounting capability in addition to through-hole mounting. Both are ROHS3 compliant and active products. The Mercury parts feature nickel-plated steel shells (versus tin-plated) and copper alloy contacts (versus phosphor bronze). Current rating is lower at 3A per contact compared to the 5A rating of the FCE17E09SC6D0. Operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 85°C. Both Mercury parts include board lock, mounting brackets, and shielding features. Contact finish thickness differs: 626-009-262-032 has flash thickness, while 626-009-662-032 has 30.0µin thickness. Both are supplied in bulk packaging.

Selection Basis:

For applications requiring direct electrical and thermal performance equivalence with enhanced specifications, the TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series parts are appropriate. For applications requiring board edge mounting capability or shielded configurations, the Mercury 626 series parts are suitable, with the understanding that current rating is reduced to 3A per contact. All identified substitutes maintain the core D-Sub 9-position receptacle configuration, solder termination, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating of the original FCE17E09SC6D0.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5745988-6 be used as a direct replacement for the FCE17E09SC6D0?

A: The 5745988-6 meets all primary compatibility criteria: 9-position D-Sub receptacle, female sockets, through-hole right-angle solder termination, DE/E shell size, and gold-plated contacts. The part is functionally equivalent. Differences include higher current rating (6A versus 5A), extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C), and thicker gold plating (30.0µin versus 15.0µin). Packaging is supplied in trays rather than the original packaging specification.

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

A: Both parts are from the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series with identical electrical and thermal 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 is RoHS compliant, while 747836-6 carries a "Not applicable" RoHS status. Both are active products.

Q: Why do the Mercury 626 series parts have a lower current rating (3A per contact) compared to the FCE17E09SC6D0 (5A)?

A: Current rating is determined by contact material, contact geometry, and shell design. The Mercury 626 series uses copper alloy contacts, while the FCE17E09SC6D0 uses phosphor bronze contacts. The Mercury parts also feature nickel-plated shells versus tin-plated shells. These material differences result in the lower current rating specification. Applications requiring the full 5A rating should use the TE Connectivity or Amphenol parts.

Q: Are the Mercury 626 series parts suitable for applications requiring board edge mounting?

A: Yes. The Mercury 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 support both board edge and through-hole mounting configurations, providing design flexibility not available in the FCE17E09SC6D0 or the TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series parts. Both Mercury parts include mounting brackets and shielding features.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference between parts?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance during mating cycles. The FCE17E09SC6D0 has 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold plating, while the TE Connectivity parts have 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating. The thicker plating on TE Connectivity parts provides enhanced protection against corrosion and wear. The Mercury 626-009-262-032 has flash thickness (minimal), while 626-009-662-032 has 30.0µin thickness.

Q: Can the FCE17E09SC6D0 be used in applications with operating temperatures below -40°C?

A: The FCE17E09SC6D0 is rated for -40°C ~ 85°C. For applications requiring operation below -40°C, the TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series parts (5745988-6, 5747836-6, 747836-6) are rated for -55°C ~ 105°C and are suitable alternatives. The Mercury 626 series parts are rated for -55°C ~ 85°C.

Q: What is the difference in flange features between the substitute parts?

A: The FCE17E09SC6D0 features a housing/shell flange with M3 specification. The TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 series parts feature mating-side female screwlock (4-40) flanges. The 5747836-6 and 747836-6 additionally include board lock features. The Mercury 626 series parts feature housing/shell flanges with 4-40 specification and include board lock and mounting bracket features. Flange configuration affects mating interface design and should be verified for specific application requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The FCE17E09SC6D0 is RoHS compliant. Among the substitutes, 5745988-6 and 626-009-262-032 and 626-009-662-032 are ROHS3 compliant. The 5747836-6 is RoHS compliant. The 747836-6 carries a "Not applicable" RoHS status. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 5745988-6, 5747836-6, 626-009-262-032, and 626-009-662-032 are appropriate selections.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

A: The FCE17E09SC6D0 packaging specification is not provided. Among substitutes: 5745988-6 is supplied in trays (1546 pieces in stock), 5747836-6 is supplied in tubes (1173 pieces in stock), 747836-6 is supplied in tubes (1083 pieces in stock), 626-009-262-032 is supplied in bulk (827 pieces in stock), and 626-009-662-032 is supplied in bulk (865 pieces in stock). Packaging selection should align with procurement and assembly requirements.
