Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FCE17B25PM290 (Amphenol ICC)

The FCE17B25PM290 is the primary substitute for the obsolete FCC17B25PM290. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 25-position D-Sub plug configuration, 5A current rating, solder cup termination, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The FCE17B25PM290 is classified as active product status with improved availability (778 pcs in stock). The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status: FCE17B25PM290 is RoHS compliant, while FCC17B25PM290 is non-compliant. Dielectric material composition differs (glass-filled thermoplastic versus standard thermoplastic), providing enhanced mechanical properties. This part is suitable for applications requiring RoHS-compliant components or where improved dielectric performance is beneficial.

M24308/3-3F (Cinch Connectivity Solutions)

The M24308/3-3F is a military-grade substitute conforming to MIL-C-24308 specification. This connector maintains core compatibility with 25-position D-Sub plug configuration, 5A current rating, and solder cup termination. The M24308/3-3F offers extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C) and increased contact finish thickness (50.0µin versus 15.0µin), providing enhanced durability in demanding environments. Shell material differs (yellow chromate-plated cadmium versus tin-plated steel) and contact material is brass rather than phosphor bronze. This part is suitable for military applications, high-reliability requirements, or environments requiring extended temperature performance. Inventory availability is highest among listed substitutes (1080 pcs in stock).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17B25PM290 directly replace FCC17B25PM290 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25PM290 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector style, pin count, current rating, voltage rating, and operating temperature range. Both are 25-position D-Sub plugs with solder cup termination and 5A current capacity. The primary differences are product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance. Physical form factor and mating interface are identical.

Q: What are the key differences between FCE17B25PM290 and M24308/3-3F?

A: Both parts are electrically and mechanically compatible 25-position D-Sub plugs with 5A rating and solder cup termination. Key differences include: (1) Operating temperature range: M24308/3-3F extends to -65°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C for FCE17B25PM290; (2) Contact finish thickness: M24308/3-3F provides 50.0µin versus 15.0µin for FCE17B25PM290; (3) Shell material: M24308/3-3F uses yellow chromate-plated cadmium versus tin-plated steel; (4) Contact material: M24308/3-3F uses brass versus phosphor bronze; (5) Dielectric material: M24308/3-3F uses glass-filled diallyl phthalate versus glass-filled thermoplastic. M24308/3-3F is military-specification and suitable for extended temperature and high-reliability applications.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a factor in selecting between these substitutes?

A: RoHS compliance status is provided for reference. FCC17B25PM290 and M24308/3-3F are RoHS non-compliant. FCE17B25PM290 is RoHS compliant. Selection based on RoHS status depends on application requirements and regulatory jurisdiction. All three parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical functionality.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for solder cup termination applications?

A: Yes. All three parts feature solder cup termination, enabling direct wire attachment through soldering. This termination method is suitable for applications requiring permanent connections without additional crimping or assembly steps.

Q: What is the voltage rating for these D-Sub connectors?

A: FCC17B25PM290 is rated for 200V. Voltage ratings are not specified for FCE17B25PM290 and M24308/3-3F in the provided data. All parts are rated for 5A current capacity.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in high-temperature applications?

A: FCC17B25PM290 and FCE17B25PM290 operate within -40°C to 85°C range. M24308/3-3F extends to -65°C to 125°C, providing broader temperature capability. Selection depends on specific application temperature requirements.

Q: What is the shell size designation for these D-Sub connectors?

A: All three parts use Shell Size 3 (DB, B) designation, indicating standard D-Sub form factor with 25-position configuration in two rows. This ensures mechanical compatibility with standard D-Sub receptacles and backshells.
