Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FCC17B25PC400 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Connector style (D-Sub)
Connector type (Plug, Male Pins)
Number of positions (25)
Number of rows (2)
Shell size and layout (3 / DB, B)
Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
Termination method (Solder)
Current rating (5A minimum)
Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C minimum)
Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
Backset spacing (0.590" / 14.99mm)

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series substitutes (FCE17B25PC400, FCE17B25PC410, FCE17B25PC440, FCE17B25PC450, FCE17B25PC480, FCE17B25PC490, FCE17B25PC4D0, FCE17B25PC4E0) meet all primary substitution criteria. These parts are active products with RoHS compliant status, representing direct functional equivalents with enhanced dielectric material specifications (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled).

HARTING 09653226800 and 09653227800 meet core dimensional and functional requirements but differ in backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590"), contact form (Stamped vs. Machined), and current rating (6.5A vs. 5A). These represent similar but not identical alternatives.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (FCE17B25PC400, FCE17B25PC410, FCE17B25PC440, FCE17B25PC450, FCE17B25PC480, FCE17B25PC490, FCE17B25PC4D0, FCE17B25PC4E0) are the primary recommended substitutes for the obsolete FCC17B25PC400. These parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The FCE17 series incorporates glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material, providing enhanced mechanical and thermal properties compared to the original unfilled thermoplastic formulation. All FCE17 variants share identical core specifications and differ only in connector finish or contact configurations not specified in the original part data.

HARTING 09653226800 and 09653227800 are alternative D-Sub 25 position plug connectors with active status and ROHS3 compliance. These parts differ from the FCC17B25PC400 in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), contact form (stamped versus machined), and current rating (6.5A versus 5A). These differences result in dimensional incompatibility with existing board layouts designed for the FCC17B25PC400. Selection of HARTING alternatives requires board redesign and mechanical re-qualification.

For new designs and production requiring RoHS compliance, the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series is the direct functional equivalent. For legacy applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and existing inventory of FCC17B25PC400 is depleted, FCE17 series substitution is compatible without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17B25PC400 directly replace FCC17B25PC400 without board modification?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25PC400 maintains identical dimensional specifications, mounting configuration, and electrical ratings as the FCC17B25PC400. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance. No board redesign is required.

Q: What is the difference between the multiple FCE17B25PC4XX variants?

A: All FCE17B25PC4XX variants (PC400, PC410, PC440, PC450, PC480, PC490, PC4D0, PC4E0) share identical core specifications for connector type, position count, mounting, and electrical ratings. Variant designations reflect differences in connector finish or contact configurations not detailed in the provided specifications. Selection among variants depends on specific application requirements for contact plating or shell finish.

Q: Are HARTING 09653226800 and 09653227800 compatible with FCC17B25PC400?

A: HARTING parts are functionally similar but not mechanically compatible. The backset spacing differs (0.409" versus 0.590"), requiring board redesign. Contact form differs (stamped versus machined), affecting contact reliability characteristics. Current rating is higher (6.5A versus 5A). These parts are suitable only for new designs where board layout can accommodate the different backset spacing.

Q: What is the significance of the glass-filled dielectric material in FCE17 series?

A: The glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric in FCE17 series provides improved mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and thermal performance compared to unfilled thermoplastic in the original FCC17B25PC400. This enhancement does not affect electrical compatibility but improves long-term reliability in thermal cycling and mechanical stress environments.

Q: Is RoHS compliance required for substitution?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement for products sold into European Union markets and many other jurisdictions. The FCC17B25PC400 is RoHS non-compliant. The FCE17 series is RoHS compliant, making it the appropriate choice for new designs and production in regulated markets. Legacy applications may continue using non-compliant parts if regulatory exemptions apply.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and ROHS3 refer to different regulatory iterations. Both restrict the same hazardous substances. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard. Both FCE17 series (RoHS Compliant) and HARTING parts (ROHS3 Compliant) meet current regulatory requirements. The designation difference reflects the regulatory framework under which each manufacturer certifies compliance.

Q: Can the FCC17B25PC400 be used in new designs?

A: The FCC17B25PC400 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. New designs should specify active alternatives such as the FCE17 series to ensure long-term supply chain continuity and regulatory compliance.

Q: What parameters must remain identical for direct substitution?

A: Direct substitution requires equivalence in connector style (D-Sub), connector type (Plug, Male Pins), position count (25), row count (2), shell size (3/DB,B), mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), termination (Solder), current rating (5A minimum), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C minimum), and backset spacing (0.590"). Deviations in any of these parameters require design modification and re-qualification.
