FCC17A15PC40B D-Sub 15-Position Right Angle Solder Plug Connector

Part Overview

The FCC17A15PC40B is a 15-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) with right-angle through-hole solder termination. This connector features a 2-row configuration (Shell Size 2, DA/A layout) and is designed for signal applications requiring 5A current capacity at 200V operating voltage across the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

The FCC17A15PC40B is classified as obsolete. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure component availability, and support ongoing production and field service requirements. Active alternatives within the same electrical and mechanical parameter envelope are available from Amphenol ICC and HARTING manufacturers.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series):

The FCE17A15PC40B, FCE17A15PC41B, FCE17A15PC44B, FCE17A15PC45B, FCE17A15PC48B, FCE17A15PC49B, FCE17A15PC4DB, and FCE17A15PC4EB are direct parametric equivalents to the FCC17A15PC40B. All eight alternatives maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, current rating, operating temperature range, shell material finish, contact finish specifications, contact material, flange feature, and backset spacing.

The primary distinction between the FCC17A15PC40B and these FCE17 series alternatives is product status and regulatory compliance. The FCC17A15PC40B is classified as obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. All FCE17 series alternatives are active products with RoHS Compliant certification. The FCE17 series also incorporates thermoplastic dielectric material with glass-filled composition (except FCE17A15PC40B which uses standard thermoplastic), providing enhanced mechanical and thermal stability.

Voltage rating specifications differ: the FCC17A15PC40B specifies 200V, while the FCE17 series alternatives do not specify voltage rating in the provided data. This represents an allowable variation where unspecified ratings are acceptable for direct replacement applications.

Secondary Substitutes (HARTING Cross-Manufacturer):

The HARTING 09652236801 and 09652636810 connectors are classified as similar alternatives rather than direct equivalents. These parts maintain the core D-Sub 15-position plug configuration with right-angle solder termination and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. However, they exhibit the following parameter deviations:

Backset Spacing: 0.409" (10.40mm) versus 0.590" (14.99mm) on the FCC17A15PC40B
Flange Feature: Housing/Shell (M3 or Unthreaded) versus Board Side (4-40)
Contact Material: Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze
Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C
Current Rating: 6.5A versus 5A

These deviations require mechanical validation of printed circuit board mounting hole patterns and electrical validation of contact resistance and current-carrying capacity before deployment in applications originally designed for the FCC17A15PC40B.

Compliance Considerations:

For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the FCE17 series alternatives are required. The FCC17A15PC40B and HARTING alternatives do not meet RoHS compliance requirements. For applications with no RoHS mandate, the FCC17A15PC40B remains functionally equivalent to the FCE17 series alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17A15PC40B directly replace FCC17A15PC40B without design modification?

A: Yes. The FCE17A15PC40B maintains identical electrical and mechanical parameters across all critical specifications: 15-position D-Sub plug configuration, 2-row layout (Shell Size 2, DA/A), right-angle through-hole solder termination, 5A current rating, -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range, steel tin-plated shell, gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, board-side 4-40 flange feature, and 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing. The primary differences are product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance (compliant versus non-compliant). No design modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between FCE17A15PC40B and FCE17A15PC49B?

A: The FCE17A15PC40B and FCE17A15PC49B are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters. The only documented difference is packaging: FCE17A15PC49B is packaged in a Box, while FCE17A15PC40B packaging is not specified. Both are active products with RoHS Compliant certification and identical inventory availability. Selection between these two parts is determined by packaging requirements only.

Q: Are HARTING 09652236801 and 09652636810 suitable direct replacements?

A: HARTING 09652236801 and 09652636810 are similar alternatives, not direct equivalents. These parts maintain the D-Sub 15-position plug configuration with right-angle solder termination but differ in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), flange feature design (Housing/Shell versus Board Side 4-40), contact material (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C). Mechanical validation of PCB mounting hole patterns and electrical validation of contact performance are required before deployment in applications originally designed for the FCC17A15PC40B.

Q: What is the significance of the dielectric material variation between FCC17A15PC40B and FCE17 series?

A: The FCC17A15PC40B uses standard thermoplastic dielectric material, while most FCE17 series alternatives (FCE17A15PC41B, FCE17A15PC44B, FCE17A15PC45B, FCE17A15PC48B, FCE17A15PC49B, FCE17A15PC4DB, FCE17A15PC4EB) use thermoplastic with glass-filled composition. Glass-filled thermoplastic provides enhanced mechanical strength, improved dimensional stability, and superior thermal performance. This variation is allowable for direct substitution and represents a material improvement in the active product line.

Q: Is RoHS compliance mandatory for substitution?

A: RoHS compliance is mandatory only for applications subject to RoHS regulations (primarily European Union and equivalent jurisdictions). For applications with no RoHS mandate, the FCC17A15PC40B and HARTING alternatives remain functionally acceptable. However, for new designs and long-term component availability, FCE17 series RoHS Compliant alternatives are recommended.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitutes?

A: All FCE17 series alternatives maintain active inventory status with quantities ranging from 794 to 1010 pieces. The FCC17A15PC40B, classified as obsolete, has 829 pieces in stock. HARTING alternatives (09652236801 and 09652636810) maintain active inventory with 1059 and 1094 pieces respectively. For long-term supply chain continuity, FCE17 series active products are preferred over the obsolete FCC17A15PC40B.

Q: Can multiple FCE17 variants be used interchangeably in the same application?

A: Yes. All FCE17 series variants (FCE17A15PC40B, FCE17A15PC41B, FCE17A15PC44B, FCE17A15PC45B, FCE17A15PC48B, FCE17A15PC49B, FCE17A15PC4DB, FCE17A15PC4EB) are electrically and mechanically interchangeable. Selection among these variants is determined by packaging requirements (FCE17A15PC49B in Box packaging) and inventory availability. No electrical or mechanical validation is required when substituting between FCE17 variants.
