L17HTNEP4F1CT D-Sub Plug Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The L17HTNEP4F1CT is a 9-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This right-angle, through-hole mounted connector features male pins with solder termination and is designed for applications requiring signal transmission with secure mating. The part is Active in product status. Substitute parts become necessary when packaging requirements differ, when compliance certifications must be updated, or when inventory availability changes across different distribution channels while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The L17HTNEP4F1CT and L17HTNEP4F1C are parametric equivalents within the HTN series. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 9-position configuration, shell size 1 (DE, E), 5A current rating, 600V voltage rating, operating temperature range of -55°C to 150°C, solder termination, mating side screwlock flanges, gold contact finish, and steel tin-nickel plated shells.

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging configuration and RoHS compliance status. The L17HTNEP4F1CT ships in standard packaging and is RoHS non-compliant, while the L17HTNEP4F1C is supplied in tray packaging and carries RoHS Compliant certification. Both parts share the same base product number L17HTNEP4, confirming their functional equivalence for connector applications requiring these specified electrical and mechanical characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both L17HTNEP4F1CT and L17HTNEP4F1C connectors are Active products suitable for D-Sub plug applications. The L17HTNEP4F1C provides RoHS Compliant certification and is available in tray packaging with higher inventory levels (2480 units versus 869 units). Selection between these parts should be based on specific requirements: choose L17HTNEP4F1CT when non-compliant RoHS status is acceptable and standard packaging meets logistics needs; choose L17HTNEP4F1C when RoHS compliance is mandated by design specifications or when tray packaging is required for assembly automation. Both parts deliver identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility within their specified operating parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can L17HTNEP4F1C be used as a direct substitute for L17HTNEP4F1CT? A: Yes. Both parts are parametric equivalents with identical connector type, pin count, shell size, mounting configuration, current rating, voltage rating, temperature range, and termination method. The primary differences are packaging format and RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between these parts? A: L17HTNEP4F1CT uses standard packaging while L17HTNEP4F1C is supplied in tray packaging. Tray packaging is typically used in high-volume manufacturing environments with automated assembly equipment. Standard packaging is suitable for general-purpose applications and manual assembly processes.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect connector performance or compatibility? A: RoHS Compliance status reflects manufacturing process and material sourcing compliance with EU Directive 2011/65/EU. It does not alter electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Selection is determined by application regulatory requirements.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between these two parts? A: Yes. Both parts maintain 5A current rating, 600V voltage rating, and operate across -55°C to 150°C temperature range. Contact finish, shell material, and all signal transmission characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 indicate? A: MSL 1 signifies unlimited shelf life under normal storage conditions with no special moisture control requirements. Both parts do not require desiccant packaging or controlled humidity storage.
