FCC17B25SC490 D-Sub Receptacle 25-Position Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCC17B25SC490 is a 25-position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This through-hole, right-angle solder connector features female sockets with gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts, tin-plated steel shell, and board lock functionality. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility within the D-Sub connector category while meeting current RoHS compliance standards where applicable.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17B25SC490, FCE17B25SC400, FCE17B25SC410, FCE17B25SC440, FCE17B25SC450, FCE17B25SC480, FCE17B25SC4D0, and FCE17B25SC4E0 represent the direct active equivalents to the obsolete FCC17B25SC490. These parts maintain 100% mechanical and electrical compatibility with identical specifications across all critical parameters: 25-position receptacle configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, 5A current rating, -40°C to 85°C operating range, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and 0.590" backset spacing. The FCE17 series offers the additional advantage of RoHS compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new production and design implementations. All FCE17 variants are currently in active production status with substantial inventory availability (ranging from 668 to 1089 pieces).

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING 09663126600 and 09663126601

The HARTING alternatives (09663126600 and 09663126601) provide compatible D-Sub 25-position receptacle functionality with enhanced current rating (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). However, these parts exhibit critical parameter deviations: reduced backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), different contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), and unspecified contact finish. These deviations necessitate mechanical and electrical validation before implementation in existing designs. HARTING parts are suitable only for new designs where mechanical layout can accommodate the reduced backset spacing and where contact material substitution is acceptable.

Compliance Considerations

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series is mandatory. The original FCC17B25SC490 is RoHS non-compliant and unsuitable for new designs subject to RoHS regulations. HARTING parts offer ROHS3 compliance as an alternative compliance pathway.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can FCE17B25SC490 directly replace FCC17B25SC490 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25SC490 maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications to the FCC17B25SC490 across all critical parameters. Direct substitution is supported without design modification. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status and active product availability.

Q2: What distinguishes the different FCE17B25SC4XX variants?

A: The FCE17B25SC490, FCE17B25SC400, FCE17B25SC410, FCE17B25SC440, FCE17B25SC450, FCE17B25SC480, FCE17B25SC4D0, and FCE17B25SC4E0 variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Differences are encoded in the part number suffix and relate to internal configuration or manufacturing process variations not specified in the provided parameters. All variants are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for the specified application requirements.

Q3: Are HARTING parts compatible with FCC17B25SC490 designs?

A: HARTING parts 09663126600 and 09663126601 are not direct replacements. While both are D-Sub 25-position receptacles with through-hole right-angle mounting, the backset spacing differs (0.409" versus 0.590"), requiring PCB layout modification. Contact material differs (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), requiring electrical validation. These parts are suitable only for new designs where mechanical and electrical compatibility can be confirmed.

Q4: 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. The FCC17B25SC490 specifies 0.590" (14.99mm). This dimension is critical for PCB layout and component placement. HARTING alternatives with 0.409" spacing cannot be substituted without PCB redesign.

Q5: Does the FCE17 series maintain the board lock and filter features?

A: Yes. All FCE17 variants retain the board lock and filter features specified for the FCC17B25SC490, ensuring mechanical retention and signal integrity equivalent to the original part.

Q6: What is the inventory status for substitute parts?

A: Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts are in active production with substantial inventory: FCE17B25SC490 (668 pcs), FCE17B25SC400 (987 pcs), FCE17B25SC410 (726 pcs), FCE17B25SC440 (960 pcs), FCE17B25SC450 (1049 pcs), FCE17B25SC480 (865 pcs), FCE17B25SC4D0 (1089 pcs), FCE17B25SC4E0 (1083 pcs). HARTING alternatives: 09663126600 (734 pcs), 09663126601 (1073 pcs).

Q7: Are there voltage rating differences between substitute options?

A: The FCC17B25SC490 specifies 200V. Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants do not specify voltage rating in the provided parameters. HARTING parts do not specify voltage rating. For applications requiring 200V rating confirmation, contact the manufacturer for FCE17 and HARTING voltage specifications.

Q8: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance restricts specific hazardous materials. ROHS3 represents a more recent compliance iteration with updated substance restrictions. Both indicate compliance with hazardous substance regulations, though ROHS3 reflects current regulatory standards. For new designs, ROHS3 compliance (HARTING parts) or RoHS compliance (Amphenol FCE17 series) is required.
