Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Primary Substitutes)

The FCE17A15PA2DB, FCE17A15PA20B, FCE17A15PA21B, FCE17A15PA24B, FCE17A15PA25B, FCE17A15PA28B, FCE17A15PA29B, and FCE17A15PA2EB represent the most direct substitutes for the obsolete FCC17A15PA2DB. All FCE17 variants are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the original part, including 15-position D-Sub plug configuration, right-angle solder termination, 5A current rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range.

The critical distinction between the FCC17A15PA2DB and FCE17 series is product status and regulatory compliance. The FCC17A15PA2DB is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while all FCE17 variants are active products with RoHS compliance. This transition aligns with current regulatory requirements for electronic components in most markets.

All FCE17 variants share identical core specifications: 15 positions, 2 rows, shell size 2 (DA, A), through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, steel tin-plated shell, gold-plated contacts at 15.0µin thickness, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, thermoplastic glass-filled dielectric, phosphor bronze contacts, 0.318" backset spacing, and MSL 1 rating.

Selection among FCE17 variants should be based on specific application requirements and availability. All variants maintain full parametric equivalence to the original FCC17A15PA2DB within the scope of provided specifications.

HARTING Alternatives (Secondary Substitutes)

The HARTING parts 09652236801 and 09652636810 provide alternative D-Sub 15-position plug connectors with right-angle solder termination. These components share the fundamental connector architecture (15 positions, 2 rows, shell size 2 (DA, A), through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, UL94 V-0 flammability rating) but differ in specific mechanical and material characteristics.

Key differences in HARTING alternatives:

Current rating: 6.5A (exceeds 5A requirement)
Operating temperature: -55°C to 125°C (exceeds -40°C to 85°C requirement)
Backset spacing: 0.409" (10.40mm) versus 0.318" (8.08mm) in original
Contact form: Stamped versus machined in original
Contact material: Copper alloy versus phosphor bronze
Dielectric material: Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyester, glass filled versus thermoplastic, glass filled
RoHS status: ROHS3 compliant

The 09652236801 features M3 threaded flange, while 09652636810 features unthreaded flange with board lock feature. Both are active products with enhanced environmental specifications.

HARTING alternatives are suitable for applications where the increased current rating, extended temperature range, and enhanced mechanical features provide design advantages. However, the different backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.318") requires verification of PCB layout compatibility before implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17A15PA2DB directly replace the FCC17A15PA2DB without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. The FCE17A15PA2DB maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the FCC17A15PA2DB, including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting type, termination method, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, backset spacing, and flange configuration. Direct substitution on existing PCB layouts is supported.

Q: What is the primary reason to transition from FCC17A15PA2DB to FCE17 series?

A: The FCC17A15PA2DB is classified as obsolete, while all FCE17 variants are active products. Additionally, the FCC17A15PA2DB is RoHS non-compliant, whereas FCE17 series components are RoHS compliant. These factors make FCE17 series the recommended choice for new designs and ongoing procurement.

Q: Are all FCE17 variants electrically and mechanically identical?

A: Yes. All FCE17 variants (FCE17A15PA2DB, FCE17A15PA20B, FCE17A15PA21B, FCE17A15PA24B, FCE17A15PA25B, FCE17A15PA28B, FCE17A15PA29B, and FCE17A15PA2EB) share identical specifications for connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature, shell material and finish, contact finish and thickness, flammability rating, dielectric material, contact material, backset spacing, and MSL rating. Selection among variants should be based on availability and supply chain considerations.

Q: Can HARTING parts 09652236801 or 09652636810 replace the FCC17A15PA2DB?

A: HARTING alternatives share the fundamental D-Sub 15-position plug connector architecture with right-angle solder termination. However, they differ in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.318"), contact form (stamped versus machined), contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), and dielectric material composition. The different backset spacing requires PCB layout verification. These parts are suitable for applications where the increased current rating (6.5A), extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), and enhanced mechanical features provide design advantages.

Q: What is the significance of backset spacing differences between FCC17A15PA2DB and HARTING alternatives?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting surface to the contact plane. The FCC17A15PA2DB and FCE17 series specify 0.318" (8.08mm), while HARTING alternatives specify 0.409" (10.40mm). This difference affects PCB layout, component placement, and mating connector alignment. Designs utilizing the original 0.318" spacing require layout verification before implementing HARTING alternatives with 0.409" spacing.

Q: Are there compliance differences between FCC17A15PA2DB and substitute options?

A: Yes. The FCC17A15PA2DB is RoHS non-compliant, while all FCE17 variants are RoHS compliant and HARTING alternatives are ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, FCE17 series or HARTING alternatives are required. All parts share UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What are the inventory considerations for selecting among substitute parts?

A: Inventory levels vary across substitute options. FCE17A15PA2DB shows 1052 units, FCE17A15PA20B shows 1090 units, FCE17A15PA21B shows 1079 units, FCE17A15PA24B shows 947 units, FCE17A15PA25B shows 717 units, FCE17A15PA28B shows 1075 units, FCE17A15PA29B shows 774 units, and FCE17A15PA2EB shows 873 units. HARTING 09652236801 shows 1059 units and 09652636810 shows 1094 units. Availability should be confirmed with suppliers for specific procurement timelines.

Q: What is the difference between the M3 threaded flange on HARTING 09652236801 and the unthreaded flange on other options?

A: The HARTING 09652236801 features an M3 threaded flange for screw-based mounting, while the FCC17A15PA2DB, FCE17 series, and HARTING 09652636810 feature unthreaded flanges. The M3 threaded option provides mechanical fastening capability, while unthreaded flanges rely on friction fit or bracket mounting. Selection depends on mechanical mounting requirements and PCB design specifications.

Q: Are contact finish specifications identical across all substitute options?

A: No. The FCC17A15PA2DB and all FCE17 variants specify gold contact finish at 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness. HARTING alternatives do not specify contact finish in the provided parameters. For applications requiring specific contact finish specifications, FCE17 series maintains exact equivalence with the original part.

Q: What is the significance of contact form differences (machined versus stamped)?

A: The FCC17A15PA2DB specifies machined contact form, while HARTING alternatives specify stamped contact form. Machined contacts are individually formed from solid material, while stamped contacts are formed from sheet material. This affects contact durability, mating force, and electrical performance characteristics. For applications requiring machined contact specifications, FCE17 series maintains equivalence with the original part.
