Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17B25PC600, FCE17B25PC610, FCE17B25PC640, FCE17B25PC650, FCE17B25PC680, FCE17B25PC690, FCE17B25PC6D0, and FCE17B25PC6E0 represent the most direct substitutes for the obsolete FCC17B25PC600. These parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The FCE17 series incorporates glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material, providing enhanced performance characteristics over the original FCC17 series.

All FCE17 variants share the same base product number (FCE17B25) and are differentiated by connector configuration codes. Selection among these variants should be based on specific application requirements and connector pin configuration needs.

Secondary Substitutes: HARTING Series

The HARTING parts 09653226800 and 09653227800 provide functional equivalence with the following considerations:

Current rating of 6.5A exceeds the 5A requirement of the FCC17B25PC600
Operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C extends beyond the original -40°C ~ 85°C specification
Backset spacing of 0.409" (10.40mm) differs from the 0.590" (14.99mm) of the original part
Contact form is stamped rather than machined
ROHS3 compliance status is confirmed

The HARTING substitutes are suitable for applications where the reduced backset spacing and stamped contact form are compatible with the circuit board layout and connector mating requirements.

Compliance Considerations

For new designs or applications requiring regulatory compliance, the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series is recommended due to RoHS compliance status. The FCC17B25PC600 is RoHS non-compliant and should not be specified for new applications subject to RoHS directives.

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 material flammability rating, ensuring compatibility with safety-critical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17B25PC600 directly replace the FCC17B25PC600 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25PC600 maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications including connector style, pin count, shell size, mounting type, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and backset spacing. The primary differences are product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17B25PC6XX variants?

A: All FCE17B25PC6XX variants share the same base product number (FCE17B25) and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The suffix codes (600, 610, 640, 650, 680, 690, 6D0, 6E0) indicate different connector pin configurations or internal wiring arrangements. Selection should be based on the specific pin assignment requirements of the application.

Q: Are the HARTING parts 09653226800 and 09653227800 fully compatible with the FCC17B25PC600?

A: These HARTING parts provide functional equivalence for 25-position D-Sub plug applications with the following differences: backset spacing is 0.409" (10.40mm) instead of 0.590" (14.99mm), contact form is stamped instead of machined, and the operating temperature range is extended to -55°C ~ 125°C. Compatibility depends on whether the circuit board layout accommodates the reduced backset spacing and whether the stamped contact form meets application requirements.

Q: What does backset spacing mean and why does it matter?

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the solder pins. The FCC17B25PC600 has a backset spacing of 0.590" (14.99mm), while the HARTING alternatives have 0.409" (10.40mm). This dimension is critical for circuit board layout and component placement. Substitutes with different backset spacing may require circuit board redesign.

Q: Is the FCC17B25PC600 still available for purchase?

A: The FCC17B25PC600 is classified as obsolete. However, 1135 pieces are currently in stock. For long-term supply assurance, transition to an active substitute such as the FCE17B25PC600 or other FCE17 variants is recommended.

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

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance is a regulatory requirement in many markets, particularly for products sold in the European Union. The FCC17B25PC600 is RoHS non-compliant, while the FCE17 series and HARTING parts are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives, compliant substitutes must be selected.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a higher current rating than the original specification?

A: Yes. The HARTING parts 09653226800 and 09653227800 have a current rating of 6.5A, which exceeds the 5A rating of the FCC17B25PC600. A higher current rating indicates the connector can safely handle greater current levels. This is not a limitation for applications requiring 5A or less.

Q: What is the difference between machined and stamped contact forms?

A: Machined contacts are individually formed from solid material, providing precise geometry and consistent contact pressure. Stamped contacts are formed from sheet material through stamping processes, offering cost efficiency with acceptable performance for most applications. The FCC17B25PC600 uses machined contacts, while the HARTING substitutes use stamped contacts. Both forms are suitable for signal applications at the specified current and voltage ratings.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The FCC17B25PC600 packaging information is not specified in the provided data. The FCE17 series packaging is also not specified. The HARTING parts are available in bulk packaging. Specific packaging requirements should be confirmed with the supplier.

Q: What is the operating temperature range and why does it matter?

A: The FCC17B25PC600 operates from -40°C to 85°C. This range defines the ambient temperature limits within which the connector maintains specified electrical and mechanical performance. The HARTING substitutes extend this range to -55°C to 125°C, providing compatibility with a wider range of environmental conditions. For applications within the original -40°C to 85°C range, all substitutes are suitable.
