FCC17B25AD240 D-Sub Adapter Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCC17B25AD240 is a D-Sub adapter connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This connector functions as a gender changer, converting D-Sub 25 Pin Male connections to D-Sub 25 Pin Female connections in a free-hanging (in-line) configuration. The adapter incorporates integrated filtering and is designed for connector saver applications where repeated mating cycles are anticipated.

The FCC17B25AD240 is classified as an obsolete product. Identification of equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability for maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for D-Sub adapter connectors is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Pin count and gender configuration (25 Pin Female to 25 Pin Male)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging/In-Line)
• Electrical ratings (5 A current capacity)
• Temperature operating range (-40°C to 85°C)
• Shell material and finish (Steel, Tin Plated)
• Contact finish specification (Gold, 15.0µin minimum)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Connector style (Connector Saver)

The FCE17B25AD240 meets all critical substitution parameters. Both connectors share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The primary distinction is product status: FCC17B25AD240 is obsolete, while FCE17B25AD240 is active in production.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Substitution:

The FCE17B25AD240 is a direct functional equivalent to the FCC17B25AD240. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and share identical electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications. The FCE17B25AD240 is the recommended substitute due to its active product status and continued availability.

Compliance Consideration:

The FCE17B25AD240 is RoHS Compliant, whereas the FCC17B25AD240 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations (EU Directive 2011/65/EU and amendments) must use the FCE17B25AD240. Applications without RoHS requirements may use either part, provided supply chain availability is confirmed.

Inventory and Lead Time:

The FCC17B25AD240 has 747 pieces in stock (obsolete status). The FCE17B25AD240 has 856 pieces in stock (active status). For new designs and long-term supply assurance, the FCE17B25AD240 is the preferred selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17B25AD240 replace FCC17B25AD240 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25AD240 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Both connectors support 5 A current, operate across -40°C to 85°C, and feature identical pin configurations (25 Pin Female to 25 Pin Male), shell materials, contact finishes, and filtering. Physical form factor and mating characteristics are identical.

Q: What is the difference between FCC17 and FCE17 series designations?

A: The series designation reflects the product line within Amphenol ICC's connector portfolio. FCC17 is an obsolete series; FCE17 is the active equivalent series. Both series share identical specifications for this adapter model.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect electrical or mechanical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition and hazardous substance restrictions, not electrical or mechanical function. Both the FCC17B25AD240 and FCE17B25AD240 deliver identical electrical performance and mechanical reliability. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and supply chain consideration.

Q: Are the jack screws and connector packaging identical?

A: Yes. Both parts include 3 pieces per package: 1 connector and 2 jack screws. Packaging specifications are identical.

Q: What does "Connector Saver" style mean?

A: Connector Saver style indicates the adapter is designed to reduce wear on primary connectors by serving as an intermediate mating interface. Repeated connection cycles are performed on the adapter rather than on the main system connectors, extending the service life of critical connections.

Q: Can this adapter be used in high-frequency or signal integrity applications?

A: Substitution decisions for high-frequency applications must be based on impedance matching, signal integrity requirements, and frequency specifications not provided in this reference. Consult application-specific technical documentation and Amphenol ICC for frequency-dependent performance data.
