Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (FCE17A15PC290, FCE17A15PC200, FCE17A15PC210, FCE17A15PC240, FCE17A15PC250, FCE17A15PC280, FCE17A15PC2D0, FCE17A15PC2E0)

These connectors are the primary recommended substitutes for the obsolete FCC17A15PC290. All FCE17 variants maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part while offering active production status and RoHS compliance. The FCE17 series shares the same base product number (FCE17A15) and connector architecture, ensuring direct functional equivalence. The variants differ in connector pin configuration details (indicated by the suffix codes PC200, PC210, PC240, PC250, PC280, PC2D0, PC2E0), but all maintain the 15-position, 2-row D-Sub plug configuration with right-angle solder termination.

HARTING 09652236801 and 09652636810

These HARTING D-Sub 15-position plug connectors provide alternative substitution options with enhanced electrical performance. Both parts support higher current ratings (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C). The 09652636810 includes board lock features matching the original FCC17A15PC290. Both HARTING parts carry ROHS3 compliance and are active production items. The backset spacing differs (0.409" versus 0.590"), which may affect mechanical fit in existing designs.

Compliance Considerations

The FCC17A15PC290 is RoHS non-compliant. All recommended substitutes (Amphenol ICC FCE17 series and HARTING parts) are RoHS or ROHS3 compliant, supporting modern regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement in regulated markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17A15PC290 directly replace the FCC17A15PC290 in existing designs?

A: The FCE17A15PC290 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the FCC17A15PC290. Both connectors feature identical 15-position, 2-row D-Sub plug configurations with right-angle solder termination, 5A current rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance. Physical dimensions and pin assignments are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17A15PC variants?

A: All FCE17A15PC variants (PC200, PC210, PC240, PC250, PC280, PC2D0, PC2E0) share the same base connector architecture and electrical specifications. The suffix codes indicate different connector pin configuration or contact arrangement options. Selection among these variants depends on specific pin assignment requirements for your application. All variants are electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the FCC17A15PC290 in terms of form factor and core performance parameters.

Q: Are HARTING 09652236801 and 09652636810 suitable replacements?

A: Both HARTING parts are suitable substitutes for applications requiring D-Sub 15-position plug connectors with right-angle solder termination. The 09652636810 is the closer match, featuring board lock functionality present in the original FCC17A15PC290. However, the HARTING parts have a different backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), which may require PCB layout verification. The higher current rating (6.5A) and extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) provide enhanced performance margins.

Q: What is backset spacing and why does it matter?

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the solder pins. The FCC17A15PC290 has a backset spacing of 0.590" (14.99mm), while HARTING parts have 0.409" (10.40mm). This dimension affects the physical fit on printed circuit boards. If your PCB layout is designed for the 0.590" spacing, HARTING parts with 0.409" spacing will not fit without PCB redesign. Amphenol ICC FCE17 series maintains the 0.590" spacing, ensuring direct fit compatibility.

Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for connector selection?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance restricts the use of specific hazardous materials including lead, cadmium, and mercury. The FCC17A15PC290 is RoHS non-compliant, while all recommended substitutes are RoHS or ROHS3 compliant. For new designs and procurement in regulated markets (particularly Europe and Asia), RoHS-compliant components are required. Amphenol ICC FCE17 series and HARTING parts meet these regulatory requirements.

Q: Can I use a substitute with a higher current rating than the original?

A: Yes. The HARTING parts (09652236801 and 09652636810) support 6.5A current rating compared to the original 5A rating. A higher current rating provides additional performance margin and does not create compatibility issues. Your application will operate safely within the lower original specification of 5A. However, verify that the higher current rating does not introduce thermal or mechanical considerations specific to your application design.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: Yes. Current inventory levels vary among substitutes. The Amphenol ICC FCE17 series variants have active inventory ranging from 696 to 1127 pieces. HARTING parts have inventory of 1059 and 1094 pieces respectively. For high-volume procurement or long-term supply chain planning, verify current inventory status with your supplier, as availability may change based on production schedules and demand.
