FCC17B25SC200 D-Sub Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCC17B25SC200 is a 25-position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This through-hole, right-angle solder-terminated connector features female sockets with gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts and a tin-plated steel shell. The connector is classified as obsolete product status, which necessitates identification of active equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing design and procurement requirements. Equivalent parts maintain full functional compatibility while substitute parts provide alternative solutions within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Equivalent Parts (Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series):

The FCE17B25SC200, FCE17B25SC210, FCE17B25SC240, FCE17B25SC250, FCE17B25SC280, FCE17B25SC290, FCE17B25SC2D0, and FCE17B25SC2E0 represent direct parametric equivalents to the obsolete FCC17B25SC200. These parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including connector geometry, contact configuration, current rating, and operating temperature range. The primary distinction is product status: all FCE17 variants are active, whereas the FCC17B25SC200 is obsolete.

The FCE17 series offers improved compliance status. All FCE17 variants are RoHS Compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the original FCC17B25SC200 does not meet. The dielectric material composition differs slightly (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled versus Thermoplastic), which is within allowable substitution parameters. Voltage rating specifications are not provided for FCE17 variants, whereas the FCC17B25SC200 specifies 200V; this represents an allowable variation in documentation rather than a functional limitation.

Secondary Substitute Parts (HARTING 09663126600 and 09663126601):

The HARTING parts 09663126600 and 09663126601 provide alternative solutions where mechanical compatibility is prioritized. These connectors maintain the same connector type, position count, row configuration, shell size, mounting type, and termination method. Both parts are active products with ROHS3 Compliant status.

Differences in the HARTING substitutes include:

Backset spacing: 0.409" (10.40mm) versus 0.590" (14.99mm) in the original part. This represents a significant geometric variation that affects PCB layout compatibility.
Contact material: Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze. Both materials are acceptable for D-Sub applications.
Contact finish: Not specified for HARTING parts versus gold-plated in the original.
Current rating: 6.5A versus 5A, providing increased capacity.
Operating temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C, offering extended thermal range.
Flange feature: 09663126601 includes M3 threaded mounting versus unthreaded in the original.
Features: Board Lock and Filter are not specified for HARTING parts.

HARTING substitutes are suitable only where PCB layout can accommodate the different backset spacing and where the absence of board lock and filter features is acceptable.

Compliance Considerations:

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the FCE17 series (all variants) is mandatory. The original FCC17B25SC200 is RoHS non-compliant and cannot be used in regulated applications. HARTING parts provide ROHS3 Compliant status as an alternative.

For applications with strict thermal requirements below -40°C or above 85°C, HARTING parts offer extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17B25SC200 directly replace FCC17B25SC200 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25SC200 maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters. The connector will function identically in the same PCB footprint and application. The primary advantage is active product status and RoHS Compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17 part numbers (SC200, SC210, SC240, SC250, SC280, SC290, SC2D0, SC2E0)?

A: All FCE17 variants listed maintain identical specifications for connector type, position count, mounting configuration, current rating, backset spacing, operating temperature, and flammability rating. The suffix variations (SC200, SC210, etc.) represent internal manufacturing or configuration codes that do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. All are functionally equivalent substitutes.

Q: Why do HARTING parts show different backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590")?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting surface to the contact plane. The HARTING parts (09663126600 and 09663126601) have a different backset spacing of 0.409" (10.40mm) compared to the original 0.590" (14.99mm). This is a significant geometric difference that affects PCB layout and connector mating depth. HARTING parts are suitable only where PCB design can accommodate this variation.

Q: Are HARTING parts suitable for all applications using FCC17B25SC200?

A: HARTING parts are suitable only where the following conditions are met: (1) PCB layout can accommodate 0.409" backset spacing instead of 0.590", (2) absence of board lock and filter features is acceptable, (3) copper alloy contacts without specified gold plating are acceptable, and (4) M3 threaded mounting (09663126601) or unthreaded mounting (09663126600) matches application requirements. For direct drop-in replacement, FCE17 series parts are recommended.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS Compliance status?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Compliance is a regulatory requirement in many jurisdictions, particularly for products sold in the European Union. The original FCC17B25SC200 is RoHS non-compliant and cannot be used in regulated applications. All FCE17 variants are RoHS Compliant, and HARTING parts are ROHS3 Compliant. For new designs or applications subject to RoHS regulations, FCE17 or HARTING parts are mandatory.

Q: Can I use a part with higher current rating (6.5A HARTING) in place of the 5A original?

A: Yes. A higher current rating indicates the connector can safely handle greater current without exceeding temperature limits. Using a 6.5A-rated connector in a 5A application provides additional safety margin. This is an allowable substitution where other parameters match.

Q: What does "Product Status: Obsolete" mean for the FCC17B25SC200?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production and support for this part. While existing inventory may be available, long-term supply cannot be guaranteed. For new designs or ongoing production, active equivalent parts (FCE17 series) should be specified to ensure supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there any compatibility issues between the original FCC17B25SC200 and FCE17 equivalents?

A: No compatibility issues exist. The FCE17 series maintains identical connector geometry, contact configuration, and electrical specifications. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. The only differences are product status (active versus obsolete) and compliance certifications (RoHS Compliant versus non-compliant).

Q: What is the difference between "Thermoplastic" and "Thermoplastic, Glass Filled" dielectric material?

A: Both materials are acceptable for D-Sub connector applications. Glass-filled thermoplastic provides enhanced mechanical strength and dimensional stability compared to unfilled thermoplastic. This is an allowable material variation that does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in standard applications.

Q: Should I specify FCE17B25SC200 or another FCE17 variant for new designs?

A: All FCE17 variants (SC200, SC210, SC240, SC250, SC280, SC290, SC2D0, SC2E0) are functionally equivalent. Specification of any single variant is acceptable. Consult with your supplier regarding availability and lead times, as inventory levels vary by part number.
