Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FCC17B25PM400 is determined by strict alignment of 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, connector layout: 3 (DB, B)
• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Termination: Solder Cup
• Current rating: 5A
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze or equivalent
• Contact finish: Gold

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Operating temperature range
• Shell material and finish
• Contact finish thickness
• Flange feature configuration
• Dielectric material properties

The FCE17B25PM400 from Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) maintains identical primary substitution criteria and represents a direct equivalent with active product status. The M24308/3-3F from Cinch Connectivity Solutions meets all primary criteria but operates across an extended temperature range and incorporates military-specification materials and finishes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FCE17B25PM400 (Amphenol ICC): This connector is the primary equivalent for FCC17B25PM400 replacement. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and mounting configurations. The FCE17B25PM400 holds active product status and is RoHS compliant, providing advantages for new designs and long-term supply chain continuity. The dielectric material incorporates glass filling, enhancing mechanical stability. Identical flange configuration (Cable Side 4-40) and filter/grounding indent features ensure direct compatibility in existing applications.

M24308/3-3F (Cinch Connectivity Solutions): This military-specification connector meets all primary substitution criteria and provides extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C) compared to the FCC17B25PM400 (-40°C ~ 85°C). The M24308/3-3F incorporates thicker gold plating (50.0µin versus 15.0µin) and military-grade materials (Diallyl Phthalate dielectric, yellow chromate cadmium-plated steel shell). The flange feature differs (Housing/Shell unthreaded versus Cable Side 4-40), requiring mechanical design verification. This option is suitable for applications requiring extended temperature performance or military-grade specifications.

Selection between FCE17B25PM400 and M24308/3-3F depends on application temperature requirements, compliance mandates, and mechanical mounting constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17B25PM400 directly replace FCC17B25PM400 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25PM400 maintains identical connector style, pin count, shell size, mounting type, termination method, and electrical ratings. Both parts feature the same flange configuration (Cable Side 4-40) and identical filter/grounding indent features. No design modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the primary difference between FCC17B25PM400 and FCE17B25PM400?

A: The FCE17B25PM400 is the active production equivalent. Key differences include: FCE17B25PM400 holds active product status (FCC17B25PM400 is obsolete), FCE17B25PM400 is RoHS compliant (FCC17B25PM400 is non-compliant), and FCE17B25PM400 incorporates glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric (FCC17B25PM400 uses standard thermoplastic). Electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: When should M24308/3-3F be selected over FCE17B25PM400?

A: The M24308/3-3F is selected when applications require extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C), military-specification materials and finishes, or thicker gold plating (50.0µin versus 15.0µin). The M24308/3-3F flange feature (Housing/Shell unthreaded) differs from the cable-side 4-40 configuration, requiring mechanical mounting verification.

Q: Are all three connectors mechanically interchangeable?

A: FCC17B25PM400 and FCE17B25PM400 are fully mechanically interchangeable due to identical shell size (3/DB/B), mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line), and flange configuration (Cable Side 4-40). The M24308/3-3F shares identical shell size and mounting type but features a different flange configuration (Housing/Shell unthreaded), requiring mechanical design review before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness differences?

A: FCC17B25PM400 and FCE17B25PM400 both specify 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold plating thickness. The M24308/3-3F specifies 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold plating, providing enhanced wear resistance and corrosion protection. Thicker plating is beneficial for high-cycle mating applications or harsh environmental conditions.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect substitution decisions?

A: RoHS compliance status is a regulatory consideration. FCE17B25PM400 is RoHS compliant, while FCC17B25PM400 and M24308/3-3F are non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, FCE17B25PM400 is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems or military applications, RoHS non-compliant options remain valid.

Q: What are the implications of different dielectric materials?

A: FCC17B25PM400 uses standard thermoplastic dielectric. FCE17B25PM400 uses glass-filled thermoplastic, providing improved mechanical strength and dimensional stability. M24308/3-3F uses Diallyl Phthalate (DAP) glass-filled dielectric, a military-specification material offering superior thermal and mechanical properties. Glass-filled and DAP materials are suitable for high-reliability applications.

Q: Are voltage ratings equivalent across all three connectors?

A: FCC17B25PM400 specifies 200V voltage rating. FCE17B25PM400 and M24308/3-3F do not specify voltage ratings in the provided data. For applications requiring explicit 200V rating verification, FCC17B25PM400 or FCE17B25PM400 documentation should be consulted. All three connectors are rated for 5A current.
