Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Recommended Primary Substitutes)

The FCE17A15SC440, FCE17A15SC400, FCE17A15SC410, FCE17A15SC450, FCE17A15SC480, FCE17A15SC490, FCE17A15SC4D0, and FCE17A15SC4E0 are direct parametric equivalents to the FCC17A15SC440. All eight variants maintain identical mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and functional specifications. The primary distinction is the dielectric material composition, which incorporates glass-filled thermoplastic formulations in the FCE17 series. All FCE17 variants are active products with RoHS compliance, addressing the obsolescence status of the FCC17A15SC440. These parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications where RoHS compliance is required or where procurement of obsolete components is no longer feasible.

HARTING Alternatives (Secondary Substitutes)

The HARTING parts 09662127600 and 09662526616 provide functional D-Sub receptacle alternatives with compatible mechanical interfaces. These components maintain the 15-position, 2-row configuration and through-hole right-angle mounting. However, they exhibit the following differences:

Backset spacing of 0.409" (10.40mm) versus the 0.590" (14.99mm) of the primary part
Operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C, exceeding the original -40°C ~ 85°C specification
Current rating of 6.5A, exceeding the 5A specification
Copper alloy contact material versus phosphor bronze
ROHS3 compliance status

These parts are suitable for applications where the reduced backset spacing is compatible with the printed circuit board layout and where the extended operating temperature range provides additional margin.

Compliance Considerations

The FCC17A15SC440 is RoHS non-compliant. All Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants and HARTING alternatives are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant, supporting transition to current regulatory requirements. Selection should account for end-product compliance obligations and supply chain requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17A15SC440 directly replace the FCC17A15SC440 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17A15SC440 is a parametric equivalent with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The primary difference is the dielectric material composition (glass-filled thermoplastic) and active product status. No design modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the different FCE17 part number suffixes (SC400, SC410, SC450, SC480, SC490, SC4D0, SC4E0)?

A: The suffix designations represent variations in connector configuration or material specifications within the FCE17A15 base product family. All variants maintain the core 15-position, 2-row D-Sub receptacle functionality and are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. Selection among these variants should be based on specific application requirements and availability.

Q: Are the HARTING parts 09662127600 and 09662526616 fully compatible with the FCC17A15SC440?

A: These HARTING components are functionally compatible D-Sub receptacles but exhibit mechanical differences. The backset spacing of 0.409" (10.40mm) differs from the 0.590" (14.99mm) of the original part. This difference affects printed circuit board layout compatibility. Substitution requires verification that the reduced backset spacing is compatible with the target application's mechanical design.

Q: What is the impact of the dielectric material change from standard thermoplastic to glass-filled thermoplastic in the FCE17 series?

A: Glass-filled thermoplastic formulations provide enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability compared to standard thermoplastic. This material change does not affect electrical performance or mechanical interface compatibility. The change supports improved reliability in demanding thermal or mechanical environments.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance status of the FCE17 series affect electrical performance compared to the non-compliant FCC17A15SC440?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition restrictions (elimination of lead and other hazardous substances) and does not alter electrical performance. The FCE17 series maintains identical electrical ratings and functional characteristics.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness specification (15.0µin / 0.38µm)?

A: Contact finish thickness determines the durability and wear resistance of the gold plating on the connector contacts. The 15.0µin specification ensures adequate protection against corrosion and contact degradation during the connector's operational life. HARTING parts do not specify contact finish thickness, indicating potential differences in contact durability characteristics.

Q: Can the HARTING parts with extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) be used in applications requiring only -40°C ~ 85°C?

A: Yes. The extended temperature range of the HARTING parts encompasses the original specification range. These parts are suitable for applications with the original temperature requirements and provide additional margin for applications with more demanding thermal conditions.

Q: What is the difference between the 5A current rating of the FCC17A15SC440 and the 6.5A rating of the HARTING alternatives?

A: The 6.5A rating of the HARTING parts exceeds the 5A specification of the original part. This higher rating indicates greater current-carrying capacity. For applications designed to the 5A specification, either rating is acceptable. The higher HARTING rating provides additional margin for applications with higher current demands.

Q: Are there any packaging or inventory considerations when selecting among the substitute parts?

A: Inventory availability varies among the substitute options. The Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants and HARTING parts all maintain active product status with substantial stock levels (713 to 1126 pieces reported). Selection should account for lead time requirements and supplier availability in the target procurement timeframe.

Q: What documentation should be reviewed before implementing a substitution?

A: Review the complete connector datasheet for the selected substitute part, including mechanical drawings, electrical specifications, and material certifications. Verify that the printed circuit board layout accommodates the backset spacing of the selected part. Confirm that all regulatory compliance requirements (RoHS, REACH, etc.) are satisfied for the target application and end market.
