FCC17A15SB68B D-Sub Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCC17A15SB68B is a 15-position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This connector features female sockets, right-angle through-hole mounting, and solder termination. The part is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of equivalent and substitute components for ongoing design support and procurement.

The FCC17A15SB68B serves applications requiring D-Sub connectivity with signal-level current handling and operates across industrial temperature ranges. Due to its obsolete status, active equivalent parts from Amphenol ICC and compatible alternatives from other manufacturers are available to maintain design continuity.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Primary Recommendation)

The FCE17A15SB68B, FCE17A15SB60B, FCE17A15SB61B, FCE17A15SB64B, FCE17A15SB65B, FCE17A15SB69B, FCE17A15SB6DB, and FCE17A15SB6EB represent direct functional equivalents to the obsolete FCC17A15SB68B. All FCE17 variants maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications including 15-position configuration, right-angle through-hole mounting, solder termination, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

The primary distinction is product status: all FCE17 variants are active components with RoHS compliance, whereas the FCC17A15SB68B is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The FCE17 series provides long-term design continuity and regulatory compliance for new designs and production transitions.

HARTING Alternatives (Secondary Recommendation)

The HARTING 09662127600 and 09662526616 provide compatible D-Sub receptacle solutions with equivalent mechanical form factors and electrical performance. These alternatives feature:

Identical 15-position, 2-row D-Sub configuration
Through-hole, right-angle mounting
Solder termination
UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C)
Higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A)
ROHS3 compliance

The HARTING 09662526616 includes board lock features and housing/shell flange configuration (4-40), which differs from the M3 board-side flange of the Amphenol ICC parts. The HARTING 09662127600 features unthreaded housing/shell flange configuration.

Selection Criteria:

For direct replacement in existing designs, select FCE17A15SB68B from the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series. For new designs requiring extended temperature performance or higher current capacity, HARTING alternatives are suitable. Verify flange feature compatibility with PCB mounting requirements before final selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17A15SB68B directly replace FCC17A15SB68B?

A: Yes. The FCE17A15SB68B is a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance (compliant versus non-compliant). No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17 part numbers (SB60B, SB61B, SB64B, SB65B, SB69B, SB6DB, SB6EB)?

A: All FCE17 variants share identical core specifications: 15-position D-Sub receptacle, right-angle through-hole mounting, solder termination, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The suffix designations (60B, 61B, 64B, 65B, 69B, 6DB, 6EB) represent internal manufacturing or configuration variations not specified in the provided parameters. All variants are functionally equivalent for the FCC17A15SB68B replacement application.

Q: Are HARTING parts compatible with Amphenol ICC connectors?

A: HARTING 09662127600 and 09662526616 are mechanically and electrically compatible D-Sub receptacles with identical 15-position, 2-row configuration and right-angle through-hole solder termination. However, flange feature differences exist: HARTING parts feature housing/shell flanges (unthreaded or 4-40 threaded), while Amphenol ICC parts feature board-side M3 flanges. Verify PCB mounting hole specifications before selection.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference (0.405" versus 0.409")?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting face to the contact insertion point. The 0.405" (10.29mm) spacing of Amphenol ICC parts and 0.409" (10.40mm) spacing of HARTING parts represent minor dimensional variations within standard D-Sub tolerances. Both are compatible with standard D-Sub mating connectors. Verify PCB layout clearances for the specific application.

Q: Why is the FCC17A15SB68B marked as obsolete?

A: The FCC17A15SB68B is classified as obsolete due to product lifecycle management by Amphenol ICC. The active FCE17 series provides equivalent functionality with improved compliance status (RoHS compliant). Existing inventory of FCC17A15SB68B remains available, but new designs should transition to active FCE17 variants for long-term supply assurance.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS non-compliant and RoHS Compliant status?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance indicates the component meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU restrictions on hazardous materials including lead, cadmium, and mercury. RoHS non-compliant components (FCC17A15SB68B) may contain restricted substances. RoHS compliant components (FCE17 series, HARTING alternatives) are suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. Regulatory requirements vary by application and market; verify compliance obligations for your specific design.

Q: Can I use HARTING 09662127600 or 09662526616 in place of Amphenol ICC parts?

A: Yes, with flange feature verification. Both HARTING alternatives provide equivalent D-Sub receptacle functionality with identical position count, mounting type, and termination method. The primary consideration is flange configuration: HARTING parts feature housing/shell flanges, while Amphenol ICC parts feature board-side M3 flanges. Confirm PCB mounting hole pattern compatibility before substitution.

Q: What is the current rating difference between FCC17A15SB68B (5A) and HARTING alternatives (6.5A)?

A: The HARTING parts support higher current capacity (6.5A) compared to the Amphenol ICC parts (5A). This represents a design advantage for applications requiring higher current handling. The 5A rating of the original FCC17A15SB68B remains the limiting specification for direct replacement applications; the higher HARTING rating provides additional margin for new designs.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging?

A: Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants are available in standard packaging (not specified in provided parameters). HARTING parts are available in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements and lead times with component suppliers for procurement planning.
