Substitute Categories:

Category 1: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Active, RoHS Compliant) The FCE17A15SC2DB, FCE17A15SC20B, FCE17A15SC21B, FCE17A15SC24B, FCE17A15SC25B, FCE17A15SC28B, FCE17A15SC29B, and FCE17A15SC2EB represent direct parametric equivalents from Amphenol ICC. These parts maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The dielectric material differs (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled versus Thermoplastic), and voltage rating is not specified for FCE17 variants, but all other functional parameters remain equivalent.

Category 2: HARTING Alternatives (Active, ROHS3 Compliant) The HARTING parts 09662127600 and 09662526616 provide functional substitution with notable parameter variations. These connectors maintain the 15-position, 2-row D-Sub receptacle configuration with right-angle solder termination. However, backset spacing differs (0.409" versus 0.590"), current rating is higher (6.5A versus 5A), and operating temperature range is extended (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). Contact form is stamped rather than machined, and contact material is copper alloy rather than phosphor bronze.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17A15SC2DB, FCE17A15SC20B, FCE17A15SC21B, FCE17A15SC24B, FCE17A15SC25B, FCE17A15SC28B, FCE17A15SC29B, and FCE17A15SC2EB connectors are the preferred substitutes for the obsolete FCC17A15SC2DB. These parts maintain complete parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. All FCE17 variants are active products with RoHS compliance certification, addressing the regulatory limitations of the original part. The FCE17 series shares the same base product number family (FCE17A15) and maintains identical connector geometry, pin configuration, and performance characteristics. Selection among FCE17 variants depends on specific application requirements not differentiated by the provided parameters.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING Alternatives

The HARTING parts 09662127600 and 09662526616 provide functional D-Sub receptacle substitution with extended operating temperature capability (-55°C ~ 125°C) and higher current rating (6.5A). These connectors are suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance or higher current capacity. However, backset spacing differs (0.409" versus 0.590"), requiring PCB layout verification. Contact material composition (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze) and contact form (stamped versus machined) differ from the original specification. HARTING alternatives carry ROHS3 compliance and active product status.

Compliance Considerations

The original FCC17A15SC2DB is RoHS non-compliant. All recommended substitutes (FCE17 series and HARTING alternatives) meet current RoHS compliance requirements, eliminating regulatory barriers for new designs and procurement. The FCE17 series maintains the highest parametric fidelity to the original part while providing compliance certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17A15SC2DB directly replace FCC17A15SC2DB without PCB modification?

A: Yes. The FCE17A15SC2DB maintains identical mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), backset spacing (0.590"), shell size (2 DA, A), and pin configuration (15 positions, 2 rows) as the FCC17A15SC2DB. No PCB layout changes are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the multiple FCE17 variants (SC20B, SC21B, SC24B, SC25B, SC28B, SC29B, SC2EB)?

A: All FCE17 variants listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters as specified in the provided data. The suffix designations (SC20B, SC21B, etc.) represent internal Amphenol ICC product differentiation not reflected in the provided parameter set. Selection among these variants should be based on specific application requirements or Amphenol ICC technical documentation.

Q: Are HARTING parts 09662127600 and 09662526616 fully compatible with FCC17A15SC2DB?

A: HARTING parts provide functional D-Sub receptacle substitution with the same 15-position, 2-row configuration and right-angle solder termination. However, backset spacing differs (0.409" versus 0.590"), requiring PCB layout verification before implementation. Contact material and form differ, which may affect electrical performance in specific applications. These parts are suitable for applications where extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) or higher current capacity (6.5A) is required.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference in HARTING alternatives?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting surface to the contact plane. The FCC17A15SC2DB and all Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants use 0.590" (14.99mm) spacing, while HARTING alternatives use 0.409" (10.40mm). This difference affects PCB hole positioning and connector seating depth. Substitution with HARTING parts requires PCB redesign to accommodate the different spacing.

Q: Why is the FCC17A15SC2DB classified as obsolete?

A: The FCC17A15SC2DB is obsolete due to product lifecycle management by Amphenol ICC. The active FCE17 series provides equivalent functionality with improved compliance certifications (RoHS) and current product support. Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer no longer produces or supports this part, making transition to active alternatives necessary for long-term supply chain continuity.

Q: Are all substitute parts UL94 V-0 rated?

A: Yes. The FCC17A15SC2DB and all recommended substitutes (FCE17 series and HARTING alternatives) carry UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, meeting identical safety standards.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: FCE17A15SC2DB: 888 pcs; FCE17A15SC20B: 1093 pcs; FCE17A15SC21B: 676 pcs; FCE17A15SC24B: 946 pcs; FCE17A15SC25B: 657 pcs; FCE17A15SC28B: 1096 pcs; FCE17A15SC29B: 818 pcs; FCE17A15SC2EB: 924 pcs; 09662127600: 875 pcs; 09662526616: 1095 pcs. All substitutes are available as new original stock.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect electrical performance?

A: RoHS compliance addresses material composition restrictions (lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.) but does not alter electrical performance specifications. All FCE17 and HARTING alternatives maintain the same current rating (5A or 6.5A), voltage rating, and operating temperature range as the original part, with RoHS compliance providing regulatory advantage.
