Engineering Selection Recommendations
Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (FCE17B25PC20B, FCE17B25PC21B, FCE17B25PC24B, FCE17B25PC25B, FCE17B25PC28B, FCE17B25PC29B, FCE17B25PC2DB, FCE17B25PC2EB)
The FCE17 series represents the direct active equivalent line from Amphenol ICC. All variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the FCC17B25PC20B, including 25-position configuration, 5A current rating, right-angle solder termination, and 0.590" backset spacing. The primary distinction is product status: all FCE17 variants are active, whereas the FCC17B25PC20B is obsolete. All FCE17 variants are RoHS compliant, providing regulatory advantage over the non-compliant original part. Dielectric material composition differs slightly (glass-filled thermoplastic versus standard thermoplastic), but this does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. FCE17B25PC2EB is packaged in boxes rather than standard packaging. Inventory availability ranges from 791 to 1146 units across the FCE17 variants.
HARTING 09653226800 and 09653227800
The HARTING alternatives (09653226800 and 09653227800) provide functionally equivalent D-Sub 25-position plug connectors with identical shell size, mounting configuration, and solder termination. These parts exceed the original specifications in current rating (6.5A versus 5A) and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C). However, backset spacing differs (0.409" versus 0.590"), which may affect mechanical fit in existing designs. Contact finish specifications are not provided for HARTING parts, and contact material is listed as copper alloy rather than phosphor bronze. HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. These alternatives are suitable for new designs where mechanical envelope permits the different backset spacing, but may not be direct drop-in replacements for existing FCC17B25PC20B installations.
For direct replacement of FCC17B25PC20B in existing applications, FCE17B25PC20B is the primary recommendation due to identical mechanical and electrical specifications combined with active product status and RoHS compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can FCE17B25PC20B directly replace FCC17B25PC20B in existing designs?
A: Yes. FCE17B25PC20B maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, current rating, voltage rating, backset spacing, and operating temperature range. The primary differences are product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance (compliant versus non-compliant).
Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17B25PC variants (PC20B, PC21B, PC24B, PC25B, PC28B, PC29B, PC2DB, PC2EB)?
A: All FCE17B25PC variants share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The alphanumeric suffix (20B, 21B, 24B, etc.) indicates internal configuration or contact arrangement variations not detailed in the provided specifications. All variants are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for the core D-Sub 25-position plug connector function. FCE17B25PC2EB differs only in packaging format (box versus standard).
Q: Are HARTING 09653226800 and 09653227800 direct replacements for FCC17B25PC20B?
A: HARTING parts are functionally equivalent but not direct drop-in replacements. While both maintain 25-position D-Sub plug configuration with right-angle solder termination, the backset spacing differs (0.409" for HARTING versus 0.590" for Amphenol). This dimensional difference may prevent mechanical fit in existing PCB layouts designed for the original part. HARTING parts are suitable for new designs where the different backset spacing is accommodated.
Q: What is backset spacing and why does it matter?
A: Backset spacing is the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the solder contact points on the PCB. FCC17B25PC20B and all FCE17 variants specify 0.590" (14.99mm), while HARTING alternatives specify 0.409" (10.40mm). This dimension directly affects PCB layout and component placement. Mismatched backset spacing prevents proper connector seating and electrical contact.
Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?
A: FCE17 series parts are RoHS compliant. HARTING parts (09653226800 and 09653227800) are ROHS3 compliant. The original FCC17B25PC20B is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, FCE17 or HARTING alternatives are required.
Q: What is the difference in current rating between FCC17B25PC20B and HARTING alternatives?
A: FCC17B25PC20B and all FCE17 variants are rated for 5A. HARTING parts (09653226800 and 09653227800) are rated for 6.5A. The higher HARTING rating provides additional current capacity but does not affect compatibility for applications operating within the 5A specification.
Q: Can I use FCE17B25PC2EB (box packaging) in place of FCE17B25PC20B (standard packaging)?
A: Yes. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. FCE17B25PC2EB is identical to other FCE17 variants in all functional specifications. The box packaging is a logistics consideration only.
Q: What is the operating temperature difference between FCC17B25PC20B and HARTING alternatives?
A: FCC17B25PC20B and FCE17 variants operate from -40°C to 85°C. HARTING parts (09653226800 and 09653227800) operate from -55°C to 125°C. HARTING parts provide extended temperature range suitable for more demanding thermal environments, but this does not affect compatibility for applications within the -40°C to 85°C range.
Q: Are contact finish specifications identical across all substitutes?
A: No. FCC17B25PC20B and all FCE17 variants specify gold contact finish with 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness. HARTING parts do not provide contact finish specifications in the available data. For applications requiring specific contact finish properties, FCE17 series is recommended.
Q: What is the difference in dielectric material between FCC17B25PC20B and substitutes?
A: FCC17B25PC20B uses standard thermoplastic dielectric material. FCE17 variants use thermoplastic with glass filling for enhanced mechanical properties. HARTING parts use polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with polyester and glass filling. These material differences do not affect electrical compatibility but may provide improved mechanical durability in the FCE17 and HARTING alternatives.
Q: Is inventory availability a factor in selecting substitutes?
A: Inventory levels are provided for reference: FCC17B25PC20B (711 units), FCE17B25PC20B (947 units), FCE17B25PC25B (1119 units), FCE17B25PC2EB (1146 units), and HARTING alternatives (870-882 units). Availability should be confirmed with suppliers for current procurement requirements.
