Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Recommended Primary Substitutes):

The FCE17A15PC6EB, FCE17A15PC60B, FCE17A15PC61B, FCE17A15PC64B, FCE17A15PC65B, FCE17A15PC68B, and FCE17A15PC6DB are the recommended substitutes for the obsolete FCC17A15PC6EB. These parts are from Amphenol ICC's active product line and maintain full parametric equivalence across all critical mechanical and electrical specifications. All FCE17 variants are RoHS compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the original FCC17A15PC6EB does not meet. The FCE17 series incorporates glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material, which provides enhanced mechanical and thermal stability compared to the standard thermoplastic of the FCC17 series. These parts are suitable for direct substitution in new designs and production continuity applications.

HARTING Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives (Conditional Substitutes):

The HARTING parts 09652236801 and 09652636810 are similar D-Sub 15 position right angle solder plugs that share the same connector style, type, position count, row configuration, and shell size. However, these parts differ in critical parameters:

Backset spacing is 0.409" (10.40mm) versus the required 0.590" (14.99mm), which affects PCB layout compatibility
Contact material is copper alloy rather than phosphor bronze
Current rating is 6.5A versus 5A
Flange feature configuration differs (housing/shell-mounted versus board-side)
Operating temperature range extends to -55°C ~ 125°C, exceeding the original specification

These differences require mechanical fit verification and electrical performance validation in existing applications. The HARTING parts are suitable only when design modifications to accommodate the different backset spacing and flange configuration are acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17A15PC6EB directly replace the FCC17A15PC6EB without design modifications?

A: Yes. The FCE17A15PC6EB maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting type, termination method, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and backset spacing. The primary differences are product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance. No design modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17 part numbers (FCE17A15PC60B, FCE17A15PC61B, FCE17A15PC64B, FCE17A15PC65B, FCE17A15PC68B, FCE17A15PC6DB)?

A: All FCE17 variants listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The differences in part numbers reflect variations in internal contact configuration, pin assignment, or manufacturing process that do not affect the connector's form factor, mounting characteristics, or electrical performance. Selection among these variants depends on specific pin assignment requirements for your application.

Q: Why is the FCC17A15PC6EB listed as obsolete?

A: The FCC17A15PC6EB has been discontinued by Amphenol ICC. The manufacturer has transitioned to the active FCE17 product line, which incorporates improved materials (glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric) and meets current RoHS compliance requirements. Amphenol ICC recommends the FCE17 series for all new designs and ongoing production support.

Q: Can I use the HARTING 09652236801 or 09652636810 as a substitute?

A: The HARTING parts are mechanically and electrically similar but differ in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), flange feature configuration, contact material, and current rating. These differences affect PCB layout compatibility and mechanical mounting. The HARTING parts are suitable only if your design can accommodate the different backset spacing and flange configuration. Mechanical fit verification is required before implementation.

Q: What does backset spacing mean, and why is it important for substitution?

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the mounting flange. The FCC17A15PC6EB and all recommended FCE17 substitutes have a backset spacing of 0.590" (14.99mm). This dimension determines how far the connector protrudes from the PCB and affects mechanical clearance and mounting compatibility. The HARTING alternatives have a different backset spacing of 0.409" (10.40mm), which requires PCB layout modifications.

Q: Are all FCE17 variants RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All FCE17A15PC6EB, FCE17A15PC60B, FCE17A15PC61B, FCE17A15PC64B, FCE17A15PC65B, FCE17A15PC68B, and FCE17A15PC6DB variants are RoHS compliant. The original FCC17A15PC6EB is RoHS non-compliant. If your application requires RoHS compliance, the FCE17 series is the appropriate choice.

Q: What is the difference between machined and stamped contact forms?

A: The FCC17A15PC6EB uses machined contacts, while the HARTING alternatives use stamped contacts. Machined contacts are individually formed from solid material, providing consistent geometry and durability. Stamped contacts are formed from sheet material, offering cost efficiency but potentially different contact characteristics. This difference may affect contact resistance and mating force characteristics.

Q: Can I mix and match different FCE17 variants in the same application?

A: All FCE17 variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, so they are interchangeable from a form factor and performance perspective. However, they differ in internal pin assignment. Mixing variants is acceptable only if your application does not depend on specific pin assignments. Verify pin configuration against your circuit requirements before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric in the FCE17 series?

A: The glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric in the FCE17 series provides enhanced mechanical strength, improved thermal stability, and better dimensional consistency compared to the standard thermoplastic used in the FCC17 series. This material improvement contributes to the FCE17 series' active product status and suitability for modern manufacturing and environmental requirements.

Q: Are there any inventory considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: Yes. The FCC17A15PC6EB has 1165 pieces in stock. Among the FCE17 variants, FCE17A15PC60B has the highest inventory at 1152 pieces, followed by FCE17A15PC69B at 842 pieces. The HARTING 09652236801 has 1059 pieces available. Inventory levels may influence selection if immediate availability is a requirement.
