Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series Substitutes (FCE17A15PB2EB, FCE17A15PB20B, FCE17A15PB21B, FCE17A15PB24B, FCE17A15PB25B, FCE17A15PB28B, FCE17A15PB29B, FCE17A15PB2DB):

These parts are direct parametric equivalents to the FCC17A15PB2EB with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. All FCE17 variants are active products with RoHS compliance, providing a direct upgrade path from the obsolete FCC17A15PB2EB. The FCE17 series maintains the same connector geometry, pin configuration, current rating, operating temperature range, and solder termination method. Selection among FCE17 variants depends on specific application requirements related to contact finish specifications and internal design variations not detailed in the provided parameters.

HARTING Alternatives (09652236801, 09652636810):

The HARTING 09652236801 and 09652636810 connectors provide compatible D-Sub 15 position plug alternatives with ROHS3 compliance and active product status. These parts maintain the core electrical and mechanical compatibility with the FCC17A15PB2EB, including 15 positions, 2-row configuration, right angle through-hole solder termination, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The HARTING alternatives feature higher current ratings (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C), providing enhanced performance margins. The 09652236801 features an M3 threaded flange, while the 09652636810 features an unthreaded flange with board lock capability. Backset spacing differs slightly (0.409" versus 0.405"), requiring verification of PCB layout compatibility.

Recommendation Priority:

Primary: Amphenol ICC FCE17A15PB2EB for direct replacement with identical specifications and active product status.
Secondary: Other FCE17 variants for applications with specific contact finish or design requirements.
Alternative: HARTING 09652636810 for applications requiring extended temperature range and higher current capacity with unthreaded flange configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17A15PB2EB directly replace the obsolete FCC17A15PB2EB?

A: Yes. The FCE17A15PB2EB is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Both connectors feature 15 positions, 2-row configuration, 5A current rating, right angle through-hole solder termination, and -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance (compliant versus non-compliant).

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17 part numbers (PB2EB, PB20B, PB21B, PB24B, PB25B, PB28B, PB29B, PB2DB)?

A: All FCE17 variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications as listed in the parameter comparison table. Differences between variants relate to internal design specifications and contact finish configurations not detailed in the provided parameters. Selection should be based on specific application requirements and compatibility with existing connector designs.

Q: Are the HARTING connectors (09652236801, 09652636810) fully compatible with the FCC17A15PB2EB?

A: The HARTING connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible for most applications. Both maintain 15 positions, 2-row configuration, right angle solder termination, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. However, backset spacing differs slightly (0.409" for HARTING versus 0.405" for Amphenol), requiring verification of PCB layout compatibility. The 09652236801 features an M3 threaded flange, while the 09652636810 features an unthreaded flange with board lock. Contact material differs (Copper Alloy for HARTING versus Phosphor Bronze for Amphenol).

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference between Amphenol and HARTING connectors?

A: Backset spacing (0.405" for Amphenol, 0.409" for HARTING) defines the distance from the connector mounting surface to the contact plane. This 0.004" (0.11mm) difference requires verification against PCB design specifications to ensure proper mating with corresponding receptacle connectors. Substitution should only proceed if PCB layout accommodates the alternative spacing.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same voltage and current requirements?

A: The Amphenol FCE17 series maintains the 5A current rating of the original FCC17A15PB2EB. The HARTING alternatives provide higher current capacity (6.5A). Voltage rating is specified as 200V for the FCC17A15PB2EB; voltage ratings are not specified for the substitute parts. Applications requiring the 200V rating should confirm compatibility with substitute parts through manufacturer documentation.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: The FCC17A15PB2EB is RoHS non-compliant. The Amphenol FCE17 series is RoHS compliant. The HARTING alternatives are ROHS3 compliant. RoHS compliance indicates conformance to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. ROHS3 represents the current version of the directive. Both RoHS and ROHS3 compliance indicate restriction of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and certain flame retardants.

Q: Can the FCC17A15PB2EB be used in new designs, or should substitutes be specified?

A: The FCC17A15PB2EB is classified as obsolete. New designs should specify active products from the Amphenol FCE17 series or HARTING alternatives to ensure long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Existing designs using the FCC17A15PB2EB may continue operation with available inventory, but transition planning to active substitute parts is recommended.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: connector type (Plug, Male Pins), number of positions (15), number of rows (2), shell size (2 / DA, A), mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), termination method (Solder), current rating (5A minimum), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C minimum), backset spacing (0.405" nominal), flange feature (Housing/Shell), and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0). Deviations in any of these parameters require engineering evaluation for application-specific compatibility.
