Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series Parts: The FCE17B25SC210, FCE17B25SC200, FCE17B25SC240, FCE17B25SC250, FCE17B25SC280, FCE17B25SC290, FCE17B25SC2D0, and FCE17B25SC2E0 are parametric equivalents that satisfy all primary equivalence criteria. These parts differ only in voltage rating specification (not provided for FCE17 variants) and dielectric material composition (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled versus Thermoplastic for the main part). All FCE17 variants maintain active product status and RoHS compliance.

HARTING Parts: The 09663126600 and 09663126601 are similar D-Sub receptacle connectors that share the core connector style, type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, and termination method. However, these parts exhibit differences in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), current rating (6.5A versus 5A), contact form (Stamped versus Machined), contact material (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C), and flange feature (09663126601 includes M3 threading). These differences restrict their use to applications where the specific parameter variations are acceptable.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17B25SC210, FCE17B25SC200, FCE17B25SC240, FCE17B25SC250, FCE17B25SC280, FCE17B25SC290, FCE17B25SC2D0, and FCE17B25SC2E0 connectors are the preferred substitutes for the obsolete FCC17B25SC210. All FCE17 variants maintain active product status and satisfy the complete set of electrical, mechanical, and dimensional parameters required for direct replacement. These parts are RoHS compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the original FCC17B25SC210 does not meet. The FCE17 series shares identical connector architecture, contact specifications, mounting configuration, and thermal operating range with the main part.

Secondary Consideration: HARTING 09663126600 and 09663126601

The HARTING 09663126600 and 09663126601 connectors are active D-Sub receptacle alternatives that maintain core connector functionality and mechanical compatibility. However, these parts exhibit parameter variations that restrict their application scope. The backset spacing difference (0.409" versus 0.590") affects PCB layout compatibility. The higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C) provide enhanced performance margins for applications requiring these specifications. The stamped contact form and copper alloy material differ from the machined phosphor bronze contacts of the main part. The 09663126601 includes M3 threaded flange mounting, which is not present in the FCC17B25SC210. These parts are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications where parameter variations are acceptable.

Compliance Considerations

The FCC17B25SC210 is RoHS non-compliant. All FCE17 variants and HARTING alternatives are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement in regulated markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17B25SC210 directly replace the FCC17B25SC210 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25SC210 maintains full parametric equivalence with the FCC17B25SC210 across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, including connector style, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, current rating, operating temperature range, and backset spacing. The FCE17B25SC210 is active and RoHS compliant, making it the direct replacement for the obsolete FCC17B25SC210.

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

A: All FCE17 variants share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The alphanumeric suffix in the part number indicates internal configuration or manufacturing variations that do not affect functional compatibility. All variants are parametrically equivalent and interchangeable for the purposes of replacing the FCC17B25SC210.

Q: Are the HARTING 09663126600 and 09663126601 suitable replacements?

A: The HARTING parts are functionally similar D-Sub receptacle connectors but exhibit parameter differences that restrict their use to applications where these variations are acceptable. The backset spacing is 0.409" instead of 0.590", which affects PCB layout. The current rating is 6.5A instead of 5A. The contact material is copper alloy instead of phosphor bronze. The operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 125°C instead of -40°C ~ 85°C. The 09663126601 includes M3 threaded flange mounting. These parts are suitable only when the application requirements accommodate these parameter variations.

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

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the solder contact points on the PCB. The FCC17B25SC210 and all FCE17 variants have 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing, while the HARTING parts have 0.409" (10.40mm). This dimension is critical for PCB layout design. Connectors with different backset spacing cannot be used interchangeably without PCB redesign.

Q: Why is the voltage rating not specified for the FCE17 variants?

A: The voltage rating specification is not provided in the technical data for the FCE17 variants. The FCC17B25SC210 specifies 200V. When voltage rating is not specified by the manufacturer, the connector is suitable for applications within the electrical performance envelope defined by other parameters such as current rating, contact material, and dielectric material specifications.

Q: Are all these connectors RoHS compliant?

A: The FCC17B25SC210 is RoHS non-compliant. All FCE17 variants (FCE17B25SC210, FCE17B25SC200, FCE17B25SC240, FCE17B25SC250, FCE17B25SC280, FCE17B25SC290, FCE17B25SC2D0, FCE17B25SC2E0) are RoHS compliant. The HARTING parts (09663126600 and 09663126601) are ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the FCE17 or HARTING alternatives must be used.

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

A: The FCC17B25SC210 uses machined contacts, which are individually formed from solid material. The HARTING parts use stamped contacts, which are formed from sheet material. Machined contacts typically provide higher contact pressure and reliability in high-cycle applications. Stamped contacts are cost-effective and suitable for standard applications. This difference may affect contact reliability in demanding environments.

Q: Can I use a connector with higher current rating as a substitute?

A: The HARTING parts have a 6.5A current rating compared to the 5A rating of the FCC17B25SC210. A higher current rating indicates the connector can safely handle greater current without exceeding temperature limits. Using a connector with a higher current rating is acceptable from an electrical safety perspective, provided all other parameters match the application requirements.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited) indicates the connector has no moisture sensitivity restrictions. The component can be stored and handled without special moisture control measures and does not require baking before soldering. This is the least restrictive moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: Are there any inventory considerations for these substitutes?

A: All listed parts are in active stock. The FCC17B25SC210 has 752 units available. The FCE17 variants range from 668 to 1086 units in inventory. The HARTING parts have 734 and 1073 units available. Inventory levels should be confirmed with the supplier for specific procurement timelines.
