FCC17B25SC280 D-Sub Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCC17B25SC280 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, necessitating identification of active equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing applications and new designs. Alternative parts maintain functional compatibility while offering improved product status and compliance certifications.

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category 1: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Active Status, RoHS Compliant) The FCE17B25 series represents direct functional equivalents with improved product status. These parts maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering RoHS compliance and active manufacturing status. Variations within this series (SC200, SC210, SC240, SC250, SC290, SC2D0, SC2E0) differ only in connector coding designations that do not affect core functionality.

Category 2: HARTING D-Sub Receptacles (Active Status, ROHS3 Compliant) The HARTING 09663126600 and 09663126601 connectors provide functional substitution with different backset spacing and contact form specifications. These parts maintain the 25-position, 2-row, right-angle through-hole configuration with equivalent current and temperature ratings.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17B25 Series

The FCE17B25SC280, FCE17B25SC200, FCE17B25SC210, FCE17B25SC240, FCE17B25SC250, FCE17B25SC290, FCE17B25SC2D0, and FCE17B25SC2E0 connectors are the preferred substitutes for the obsolete FCC17B25SC280. These parts maintain complete functional equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The FCE17 series represents a direct evolution of the FCC17 series with improved regulatory compliance. All variants within the FCE17B25 family are electrically and mechanically interchangeable, with differences limited to connector coding designations that do not affect performance or compatibility.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING D-Sub Receptacles

The HARTING 09663126600 and 09663126601 connectors provide functional substitution for applications where extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and higher current rating (6.5A) are beneficial. These parts maintain the 25-position, 2-row, right-angle through-hole configuration. The 09663126600 features an unthreaded housing/shell flange, while the 09663126601 includes an M3 threaded flange. The reduced backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590") requires board layout verification prior to implementation.

Compliance Considerations

The FCC17B25SC280 is RoHS non-compliant. All recommended substitutes are RoHS compliant (FCE17 series) or ROHS3 compliant (HARTING series), meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and applications subject to RoHS directives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17B25 series parts be used interchangeably with the FCC17B25SC280?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25 series maintains complete functional equivalence across all critical parameters including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and flammability rating. The parts are mechanically and electrically compatible.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17B25 part numbers (SC200, SC210, SC240, SC250, SC290, SC2D0, SC2E0)?

A: These designations represent connector coding variations that do not affect electrical or mechanical performance. All variants are functionally equivalent and interchangeable.

Q: Are the HARTING 09663126600 and 09663126601 direct replacements?

A: These HARTING connectors provide functional substitution with the following differences: reduced backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A), extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C), and different flange configurations. The 09663126601 includes an M3 threaded flange. Board layout verification is required due to the reduced backset spacing.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the solder contact points on the printed circuit board. The FCC17B25SC280 and FCE17B25 series use 0.590" (14.99mm) spacing, while HARTING parts use 0.409" (10.40mm) spacing. This difference affects board layout and hole positioning. Existing board designs must be verified for compatibility with HARTING substitutes.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25 series is RoHS compliant, and the HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant. The original FCC17B25SC280 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: What is the difference between the HARTING 09663126600 and 09663126601?

A: The primary difference is the flange feature. The 09663126600 has an unthreaded housing/shell flange, while the 09663126601 includes an M3 threaded flange for screw-mount applications. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a higher current rating in my application?

A: Yes. The HARTING parts with 6.5A current rating can be used in applications designed for 5A operation. The higher rating provides additional margin. However, all other parameters must remain compatible with your application requirements.

Q: What inventory levels are available for these substitute parts?

A: Inventory availability varies by part number. The FCE17B25SC280 has 931 units in stock, with other FCE17 variants ranging from 668 to 1086 units. HARTING 09663126600 has 734 units, and 09663126601 has 1073 units in stock.
