Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17B25SC60B, FCE17B25SC61B, FCE17B25SC64B, FCE17B25SC65B, FCE17B25SC68B, FCE17B25SC69B, FCE17B25SC6DB, and FCE17B25SC6EB represent the direct active equivalents to the obsolete FCC17B25SC60B. All FCE17 series parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications, including 25 position configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, and board-side M3 flange. These parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and carry active product status with RoHS compliance certification. The FCE17 series provides full functional interchangeability with the original FCC17B25SC60B design.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING 09663126600 and 09663126601

The HARTING 09663126600 and 09663126601 connectors provide compatible alternatives with the same 25 position D-Sub receptacle configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, and solder termination. These parts meet the UL94 V-0 flammability requirement and maintain the same shell size and layout (3 / DB, B). HARTING parts feature higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). The 09663126601 includes board-side M3 flange matching the original specification, while 09663126600 features housing/shell unthreaded flange. Both HARTING parts carry ROHS3 compliance and active product status. Backset spacing differs at 0.409" (10.40mm) compared to the 0.590" (14.99mm) of the original part, requiring PCB layout verification.

Compliance Considerations

The FCC17B25SC60B is RoHS non-compliant. All recommended Amphenol ICC FCE17 series substitutes are RoHS compliant, supporting regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement. HARTING alternatives carry ROHS3 compliance certification. Selection should account for system-level RoHS compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17B25SC60B directly replace the FCC17B25SC60B?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25SC60B is a direct equivalent with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. Both feature 25 position D-Sub receptacle configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, board-side M3 flange, 5A current rating, and -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance (compliant versus non-compliant).

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17B25SC models?

A: All FCE17B25SC models (SC60B, SC61B, SC64B, SC65B, SC68B, SC69B, SC6DB, SC6EB) share identical mechanical and electrical specifications. Differences are designated by the suffix characters, which typically indicate internal contact configuration or plating variations not specified in the provided parameters. All maintain the same 25 position, through-hole right-angle, solder termination, and board-side M3 flange configuration.

Q: Are HARTING 09663126600 and 09663126601 fully compatible with the FCC17B25SC60B?

A: Both HARTING parts provide mechanical and electrical compatibility for the 25 position D-Sub receptacle function. Key differences include backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), flange feature (09663126600 has unthreaded housing flange; 09663126601 has M3 flange), contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), and contact finish specification. The 09663126601 with M3 flange is the closer match. PCB layout verification is required due to backset spacing difference.

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

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the mounting flange. The FCC17B25SC60B specifies 0.590" (14.99mm), while HARTING alternatives specify 0.409" (10.40mm). This dimension affects PCB layout and mounting depth. Connectors with different backset spacing require PCB redesign to accommodate the physical mounting position.

Q: Why is RoHS compliance important for this connector?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance restricts the use of lead, cadmium, mercury, and other hazardous materials. The original FCC17B25SC60B is RoHS non-compliant. All recommended Amphenol ICC FCE17 series substitutes are RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for products sold in the European Union and other regions with similar restrictions. New designs should specify RoHS compliant alternatives.

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

A: Yes, within the context of connector substitution. The HARTING alternatives provide 6.5A current rating compared to the 5A rating of the original part. A higher current rating indicates the connector can safely handle greater current without exceeding temperature limits. This represents a capability upgrade and does not create compatibility issues for applications requiring 5A or less.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range difference?

A: The FCC17B25SC60B operates from -40°C to 85°C. HARTING alternatives operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing extended temperature capability. For applications within the original -40°C to 85°C range, both are suitable. For applications requiring extended temperature operation, HARTING alternatives provide additional margin. The Amphenol ICC FCE17 series maintains the original -40°C to 85°C specification.

Q: What is contact form and why does it differ between substitutes?

A: Contact form describes the manufacturing method of the connector contacts. The FCC17B25SC60B uses machined contacts, while HARTING alternatives use stamped contacts. Machined contacts are individually formed for precision, while stamped contacts are mass-produced from sheet metal. Both methods produce functional contacts meeting electrical specifications. Stamped contacts typically offer cost advantages while maintaining performance requirements.

Q: Is the dielectric material difference between parts significant?

A: The FCC17B25SC60B uses thermoplastic dielectric material. Amphenol ICC FCE17 series uses thermoplastic with glass filling, and HARTING uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyester, and glass filling. Glass-filled and PBT materials provide improved mechanical strength and thermal stability compared to unfilled thermoplastic. These material upgrades do not create compatibility issues and represent material improvements in the substitute parts.

Q: How do I determine which substitute is best for my application?

A: Selection depends on specific requirements. For direct replacement with active product status and RoHS compliance, specify any Amphenol ICC FCE17B25SC model. For applications requiring extended temperature range or higher current capacity, specify HARTING 09663126601 (with M3 flange for board-side mounting). Verify PCB layout compatibility with backset spacing before finalizing HARTING selection. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements for your application and regulatory region.
