Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17B25 Series (FCE17B25PC28B, FCE17B25PC20B, FCE17B25PC21B, FCE17B25PC24B, FCE17B25PC25B, FCE17B25PC29B, FCE17B25PC2DB, FCE17B25PC2EB)

The FCE17B25 series represents the direct active equivalent to the obsolete FCC17B25PC28B. All variants within this series maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 25 position configuration, right-angle through-hole solder termination, 5A current rating, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The primary distinction between FCE17B25 variants relates to internal contact configuration and dielectric material composition (glass-filled thermoplastic versus standard thermoplastic). All FCE17B25 series parts are RoHS compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the original FCC17B25PC28B does not meet. Inventory availability ranges from 791 to 1146 pieces across the series variants.

HARTING 09653226800 and 09653227800

These HARTING D-Sub 25 position plug connectors provide functional equivalence for right-angle solder termination applications. Both parts maintain the DB/B shell size, 25 position configuration, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The HARTING parts feature higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C). However, these parts differ in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), contact form (stamped versus machined), and dielectric material composition. These differences may require mechanical redesign of mounting interfaces and electrical performance validation. Both HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection of HARTING alternatives is appropriate only when mechanical and electrical performance differences are acceptable for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17B25PC28B directly replace FCC17B25PC28B without design changes?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25PC28B maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the FCC17B25PC28B including connector style, position count, shell size, mounting type, termination method, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and flammability rating. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance (compliant versus non-compliant). No design changes are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17B25 variants (PC20B, PC21B, PC24B, PC25B, PC29B, PC2DB, PC2EB)?

A: All FCE17B25 variants maintain identical external electrical and mechanical specifications. The alphanumeric suffix designates internal contact configuration and dielectric material formulation. These internal differences do not affect connector compatibility or performance in standard D-Sub 25 position applications. Selection among variants is based on internal contact requirements and packaging preferences (standard versus box packaging for FCE17B25PC2EB).

Q: Are HARTING 09653226800 and 09653227800 suitable replacements for FCC17B25PC28B?

A: HARTING parts provide functional equivalence for D-Sub 25 position plug connector applications with right-angle solder termination. However, these parts differ in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), contact form (stamped versus machined), and dielectric material. These differences may require mechanical redesign of mounting interfaces and electrical performance validation. HARTING parts are appropriate only when these differences are acceptable for the application.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance for substitute part selection?

A: The original FCC17B25PC28B is RoHS non-compliant. All Amphenol ICC FCE17B25 series substitutes are RoHS compliant, and HARTING alternatives are ROHS3 compliant. RoHS compliance is mandatory for applications subject to European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. Selection of RoHS compliant substitutes ensures regulatory compliance for new designs and procurement.

Q: Does backset spacing difference between Amphenol and HARTING parts affect compatibility?

A: Yes. Amphenol parts feature 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing, while HARTING parts feature 0.409" (10.40mm) backset spacing. Backset spacing determines the distance from the connector mounting surface to the contact plane. Different backset spacing requires mechanical redesign of mounting interfaces and may affect PCB layout. Amphenol FCE17B25 series maintains the original backset spacing and requires no mechanical redesign.

Q: What is the current rating difference between FCC17B25PC28B and HARTING alternatives?

A: FCC17B25PC28B and all Amphenol FCE17B25 series parts are rated for 5A continuous current. HARTING 09653226800 and 09653227800 are rated for 6.5A continuous current. The higher HARTING rating provides additional current capacity but does not affect compatibility for applications within the 5A specification.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for substitute part selection?

A: Yes. Inventory availability varies across substitute options. FCC17B25PC28B has 1016 pieces in stock. Amphenol FCE17B25 series variants range from 791 to 1146 pieces. HARTING alternatives have 870 to 882 pieces available. For applications requiring immediate procurement, FCE17B25PC2EB offers the highest inventory (1146 pieces) among active Amphenol options.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference between FCC17B25PC28B and HARTING alternatives?

A: FCC17B25PC28B and all Amphenol FCE17B25 series parts operate from -40°C to 85°C. HARTING 09653226800 and 09653227800 operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing extended temperature capability. The extended HARTING range is appropriate for applications requiring operation outside the -40°C to 85°C specification.

Q: Does contact material difference affect electrical performance?

A: FCC17B25PC28B and Amphenol FCE17B25 series use phosphor bronze contacts. HARTING alternatives use copper alloy contacts. Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and contact reliability for signal applications. Contact material difference does not affect compatibility for standard D-Sub signal applications but may affect contact resistance characteristics and long-term reliability in specific environments.

Q: Is packaging type (bulk versus box) significant for substitute selection?

A: Packaging type affects handling, storage, and logistics but does not affect connector electrical or mechanical performance. FCE17B25PC2EB is supplied in box packaging, while other FCE17B25 variants are supplied without specified packaging. Packaging selection is based on procurement and inventory management requirements rather than technical compatibility.
