FCC17A15SC44B D-Sub Receptacle 15-Position Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCC17A15SC44B is a 15-position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This through-hole, right-angle solder termination connector features female sockets with a 2-row (DA, A) shell size layout and board-side 4-40 flange mounting. The connector is classified as obsolete product status, which necessitates identification of active equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17A15SC44B represents the direct active equivalent to the obsolete FCC17A15SC44B. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications, including 15-position configuration, 2-row layout, shell size 2 (DA, A), through-hole right-angle mounting, board-side 4-40 flange, and 5A current rating. The FCE17A15SC44B is RoHS compliant, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs while maintaining full form-factor and functional compatibility.

The additional FCE17 variants (FCE17A15SC40B, FCE17A15SC41B, FCE17A15SC45B, FCE17A15SC48B, FCE17A15SC49B, FCE17A15SC4DB, FCE17A15SC4EB) are parametric equivalents within the same series. These parts maintain identical core specifications and are suitable for direct substitution. Selection among these variants should be based on specific design requirements related to contact finish specifications or dielectric material composition, which are not differentiated in the provided parameters.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives

HARTING part numbers 09662127600 and 09662526616 provide cross-manufacturer alternatives with the following considerations:

Both maintain 15-position, 2-row, shell size 2 (DA, A) configuration with through-hole right-angle mounting
Current rating is elevated to 6.5A, exceeding the 5A requirement
Operating temperature range extends to -55°C to 125°C, providing broader environmental coverage
Backset spacing differs at 0.409" (10.40mm) versus 0.590" (14.99mm) for Amphenol parts
HARTING 09662526616 includes board lock feature and 4-40 flange mounting, aligning more closely with FCC17A15SC44B mechanical interface
Both HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant

The HARTING 09662526616 is preferred over 09662127600 when cross-manufacturer substitution is required, due to matching flange configuration (4-40 board-side mounting).

Compliance Considerations

The original FCC17A15SC44B is RoHS non-compliant. All Amphenol FCE17 equivalents and HARTING alternatives are RoHS compliant, supporting modern procurement and environmental compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17A15SC44B directly replace FCC17A15SC44B in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17A15SC44B is the active equivalent with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. No design modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the multiple FCE17 variants (SC40B, SC41B, SC45B, SC48B, SC49B, SC4DB, SC4EB)?

A: All FCE17 variants maintain identical core specifications for position count, shell size, mounting type, and current rating. Differences relate to contact finish specifications or dielectric material composition not detailed in the provided parameters. Selection should be based on specific design requirements or availability.

Q: Can HARTING 09662127600 or 09662526616 be used as substitutes?

A: Both HARTING parts are functionally compatible as 15-position D-Sub receptacles with through-hole right-angle mounting. However, the backset spacing differs (10.40mm versus 14.99mm), which may affect PCB layout compatibility. HARTING 09662526616 is preferred due to matching 4-40 board-side flange configuration. Physical verification of mounting hole alignment is required before implementation.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between FCC17A15SC44B and the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The original FCC17A15SC44B is RoHS non-compliant. All Amphenol FCE17 equivalents and HARTING alternatives are RoHS compliant. This supports modern procurement standards and environmental regulations.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The original FCC17A15SC44B has 711 units in stock. Amphenol FCE17 equivalents range from 676 to 1174 units. HARTING alternatives have 875 and 1095 units respectively. Amphenol FCE17A15SC45B offers the highest inventory at 1174 units.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with higher current rating (6.5A HARTING versus 5A Amphenol)?

A: Yes. A higher current rating provides additional design margin and does not create compatibility issues. The connector will operate safely within the original 5A design specification.

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

A: Backset spacing (0.409" for HARTING versus 0.590" for Amphenol) determines the distance from the flange mounting surface to the connector body. This affects PCB layout and component clearance. HARTING parts require verification that existing PCB mounting holes and component placement accommodate the different spacing before implementation.
