FCC17A15SC4DB D-Sub Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCC17A15SC4DB is a 15-position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This through-hole, right-angle solder-terminated connector features female sockets with a 2-row configuration (Shell Size 2, DA/A layout) and board-side 4-40 flange mounting. The connector is rated for 5A current at 200V and operates across the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

The FCC17A15SC4DB is classified as obsolete. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary to support ongoing applications, ensure supply chain continuity, and accommodate design requirements for new production runs or field replacements where the original part is no longer available.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (FCE17A15SC4DB, FCE17A15SC40B, FCE17A15SC41B, FCE17A15SC44B, FCE17A15SC45B, FCE17A15SC48B, FCE17A15SC49B, FCE17A15SC4EB)

These parts are direct parametric equivalents to the FCC17A15SC4DB. All FCE17 variants maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications including 15-position configuration, 2-row layout, through-hole right-angle mounting, 4-40 board-side flange, solder termination, 5A current rating, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. All FCE17 variants are active products with RoHS compliance, providing supply chain continuity and regulatory alignment for new designs. The dielectric material is upgraded to glass-filled thermoplastic in the FCE17 series. These parts are the primary recommendation for direct replacement of the obsolete FCC17A15SC4DB.

HARTING 09662127600

This part provides functional equivalence with the following considerations: The connector maintains the same 15-position, 2-row D-Sub receptacle configuration with through-hole right-angle mounting and solder termination. The flange feature differs (Housing/Shell unthreaded versus board-side 4-40), which affects mounting methodology. The backset spacing is 0.409" (10.40mm) compared to 0.590" (14.99mm) in the original part, indicating a different physical footprint. Current rating is 6.5A, exceeding the 5A requirement. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C to 125°C, providing broader environmental capability. Contact material is copper alloy rather than phosphor bronze. RoHS3 compliance is confirmed. This part is suitable for applications where the different backset spacing and flange configuration are accommodated in the design.

HARTING 09662526616

This part provides functional equivalence with the following considerations: The connector maintains the same 15-position, 2-row D-Sub receptacle configuration with through-hole right-angle mounting and solder termination. The flange feature is Housing/Shell with 4-40 threading, providing board-side mounting compatibility. The backset spacing is 0.409" (10.40mm), differing from the original 0.590" (14.99mm). Current rating is 6.5A, exceeding the 5A requirement. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C to 125°C. Contact material is copper alloy. Board lock feature is included. RoHS3 compliance is confirmed. This part accommodates the 4-40 flange requirement but requires design verification for the different backset spacing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17A15SC4DB series parts be used as direct replacements for the FCC17A15SC4DB?

A: Yes. The FCE17A15SC4DB and all FCE17 variants (FCE17A15SC40B, FCE17A15SC41B, FCE17A15SC44B, FCE17A15SC45B, FCE17A15SC48B, FCE17A15SC49B, FCE17A15SC4EB) are parametric equivalents. They maintain identical mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, mounting configuration, and termination method. The primary differences are product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance (compliant versus non-compliant). These parts are suitable for direct substitution in existing designs.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference between Amphenol ICC and HARTING parts?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the mounting flange to the connector body. The FCC17A15SC4DB and all Amphenol ICC equivalents specify 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing. The HARTING parts (09662127600 and 09662526616) specify 0.409" (10.40mm). This difference affects the physical clearance and mounting depth on the printed circuit board. If the original design accommodates the 0.590" spacing, the HARTING parts with 0.409" spacing will sit closer to the board surface. PCB layout verification is required before substitution.

Q: Are the HARTING parts suitable replacements if the backset spacing difference is accommodated?

A: The HARTING parts provide functional equivalence for 15-position D-Sub receptacle applications with the following qualifications: The flange mounting configuration differs (Housing/Shell versus board-side 4-40 in some variants). The contact material is copper alloy instead of phosphor bronze. The contact finish specification is not provided. The operating temperature range is broader (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C). Current rating is higher (6.5A versus 5A). If the application requirements align with these specifications and the backset spacing and flange configuration are accommodated in the design, HARTING parts are viable alternatives.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17A15SC4xB part numbers?

A: All FCE17A15SC4xB variants (where x represents 0, 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, or E) are parametrically identical in terms of connector function, electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, and operating specifications. The suffix variation (4DB, 40B, 41B, 44B, 45B, 48B, 49B, 4EB) indicates internal design or manufacturing process variations that do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. All variants are active products with RoHS compliance and equivalent inventory availability. Selection among these variants can be based on availability or specific packaging requirements.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a critical factor in selecting a substitute part?

A: RoHS compliance status depends on application requirements and regulatory jurisdiction. The original FCC17A15SC4DB is RoHS non-compliant. All Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants are RoHS compliant, and HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations (European Union, California, and other jurisdictions), RoHS-compliant parts are required. For applications without RoHS regulatory requirements, non-compliant parts remain functional. Verify regulatory requirements for the specific application before part selection.

Q: Can the FCE17A15SC4DB be used in applications originally designed for the FCC17A15SC4DB without PCB modification?

A: Yes. The FCE17A15SC4DB maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications, including mounting configuration, flange type, backset spacing, and termination method. No PCB modification is required for direct substitution. The connector will mount in the same footprint and function identically to the original part.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between the main part and substitute options?

A: The Amphenol ICC FCE17 series maintains identical electrical specifications: 5A current rating, -40°C to 85°C operating temperature, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and gold-plated contacts at 15.0µin thickness. The HARTING parts provide higher current rating (6.5A) and broader operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), representing electrical enhancements rather than limitations. Contact finish specifications are not provided for HARTING parts. For applications requiring the specific 200V voltage rating of the original part, verify that substitute parts meet this requirement through technical documentation.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between substitute parts?

A: Yes. Current inventory levels vary across substitute options. The Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants show inventory ranging from 676 to 1174 pieces. HARTING 09662127600 has 875 pieces in stock, and HARTING 09662526616 has 1095 pieces in stock. For applications requiring immediate availability or large-volume procurement, inventory status should be confirmed with the supplier. The original FCC17A15SC4DB has 700 pieces listed as new original stock, but as an obsolete product, this inventory is finite and not replenished.
