Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCC17A15PC41B are grouped into two categories based on parametric equivalence and compatibility:

Category 1: Direct Amphenol ICC Equivalents (FCE17 Series)

The FCE17A15PC41B, FCE17A15PC40B, FCE17A15PC44B, FCE17A15PC45B, FCE17A15PC48B, FCE17A15PC49B, FCE17A15PC4DB, and FCE17A15PC4EB are active Amphenol ICC alternatives within the FCE17 series. These parts maintain identical critical parameters: 15-position D-Sub plug configuration, 2-row layout (Shell Size 2, DA/A), right-angle through-hole solder termination, board-side 4-40 flange mounting, 5A current rating, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range.

Key differences in this group are limited to dielectric material composition (thermoplastic versus thermoplastic glass-filled), RoHS compliance status (all FCE17 variants are RoHS Compliant versus the FCC17A15PC41B which is RoHS non-compliant), and packaging format (FCE17A15PC49B is supplied in Box packaging).

Category 2: Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives (HARTING)

The HARTING parts 09652236801 and 09652636810 provide functional D-Sub 15-position plug alternatives with the same connector style, type, position count, row configuration, and right-angle through-hole solder termination. These parts maintain compatibility with the same shell size and layout (2, DA/A).

Differences in the HARTING alternatives include: flange feature configuration (Housing/Shell M3 or Unthreaded versus Board Side 4-40), higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A), different backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), stamped contact form (versus machined), copper alloy contact material (versus phosphor bronze), extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C), and ROHS3 compliance status.

Substitution Logic

All substitute parts maintain the critical parameters that define mechanical and electrical compatibility: D-Sub connector style, plug with male pins, 15-position count, 2-row configuration, Shell Size 2 (DA/A) layout, right-angle through-hole mounting, and solder termination. Substitution is valid when the application requirements do not exceed the electrical ratings (5A minimum, 200V for Amphenol parts) and operating temperature range of the selected substitute.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series Selection

For applications requiring direct compatibility with existing designs and procurement continuity, the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series provides active alternatives with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. All FCE17 variants (FCE17A15PC41B, FCE17A15PC40B, FCE17A15PC44B, FCE17A15PC45B, FCE17A15PC48B, FCE17A15PC49B, FCE17A15PC4DB, FCE17A15PC4EB) maintain the same connector geometry, pin configuration, current rating, operating temperature range, and flammability rating as the obsolete FCC17A15PC41B.

The primary advantage of FCE17 selection is RoHS Compliance status. All FCE17 variants are RoHS Compliant, whereas the FCC17A15PC41B is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance upgrade is significant for applications subject to RoHS regulations in the European Union and other jurisdictions.

FCE17A15PC49B is supplied in Box packaging, while other FCE17 variants use standard packaging. Selection between FCE17 variants should be based on specific packaging requirements and internal material specifications (thermoplastic versus glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric).

HARTING Cross-Manufacturer Selection

The HARTING parts 09652236801 and 09652636810 are suitable for applications where flange mounting configuration can be adapted to Housing/Shell mounting (M3 threaded or unthreaded) instead of Board Side 4-40. These alternatives provide higher current capacity (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C), which may benefit applications with demanding thermal or electrical requirements.

HARTING alternatives are ROHS3 Compliant and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The stamped contact form and copper alloy material differ from the machined phosphor bronze contacts of the Amphenol parts, but both contact technologies are suitable for solder termination applications.

Compliance and Regulatory Considerations

Selection of FCE17 series is recommended for new designs or redesigns where RoHS compliance is mandatory. For legacy systems where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable, the FCC17A15PC41B remains available with 731 pieces in stock. HARTING alternatives provide ROHS3 compliance for applications requiring enhanced regulatory alignment.

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ensuring safety compliance across all options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17A15PC41B directly replace FCC17A15PC41B in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17A15PC41B is a direct parametric equivalent with identical connector style, pin configuration, mounting type, flange feature, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and flammability rating. The primary difference is RoHS Compliance status (FCE17A15PC41B is RoHS Compliant versus FCC17A15PC41B which is RoHS non-compliant). No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17 part numbers?

A: All FCE17 variants (FCE17A15PC40B, FCE17A15PC41B, FCE17A15PC44B, FCE17A15PC45B, FCE17A15PC48B, FCE17A15PC49B, FCE17A15PC4DB, FCE17A15PC4EB) share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Differences are limited to internal material composition (dielectric material formulation) and packaging format. FCE17A15PC49B is supplied in Box packaging; others use standard packaging. Selection between variants should be based on specific material requirements and packaging preferences.

Q: Can HARTING parts 09652236801 or 09652636810 replace the FCC17A15PC41B?

A: HARTING parts are functionally compatible for D-Sub 15-position plug applications with right-angle solder termination. However, flange mounting configuration differs: HARTING parts use Housing/Shell mounting (M3 threaded or unthreaded) instead of Board Side 4-40. PCB mounting holes must be adapted accordingly. HARTING alternatives provide higher current capacity (6.5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), which may be beneficial for demanding applications.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS Compliance status in substitute selection?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Compliance is a regulatory requirement in the European Union and many other jurisdictions. All FCE17 variants are RoHS Compliant, while the FCC17A15PC41B is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, FCE17 selection is mandatory. HARTING alternatives are ROHS3 Compliant, providing enhanced regulatory alignment.

Q: Are there differences in contact material between substitute options?
