Engineering Selection Recommendations
Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series
The FCE17B25SC68B, FCE17B25SC60B, FCE17B25SC61B, FCE17B25SC64B, FCE17B25SC65B, FCE17B25SC69B, FCE17B25SC6DB, and FCE17B25SC6EB are direct functional equivalents to the obsolete FCC17B25SC68B. All FCE17 variants maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary advantage of FCE17 series selection is active product status with established supply chains and RoHS compliance certification, addressing regulatory requirements that the original FCC17B25SC68B does not meet.
Secondary Recommendation: HARTING 09663126600 and 09663126601
HARTING alternatives provide compatible D-Sub 25 position receptacle solutions with the following distinctions:
- Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 classification
- Current rating of 6.5A exceeds the 5A requirement
- Operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C extends beyond the -40°C ~ 85°C specification
- Backset spacing of 0.409" (10.40mm) differs from the 0.590" (14.99mm) standard, requiring PCB layout verification
- Contact form is stamped rather than machined
- ROHS3 compliance is confirmed
The HARTING 09663126601 with Housing/Shell (M3) flange feature provides closer mechanical alignment to the original part specification than 09663126600 with unthreaded flange.
Compliance Considerations
Selection of FCE17 series parts is recommended for new designs and production requiring RoHS compliance. The original FCC17B25SC68B is RoHS non-compliant and should be replaced in active production schedules. All substitute options carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, eliminating special handling requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can FCE17B25SC68B directly replace FCC17B25SC68B without PCB modification?
A: Yes. FCE17B25SC68B maintains identical mechanical dimensions, mounting type, flange configuration, and electrical specifications. No PCB layout changes are required for direct substitution.
Q: What is the difference between the multiple FCE17B25SC variants?
A: All FCE17B25SC variants (SC60B, SC61B, SC64B, SC65B, SC69B, SC6DB, SC6EB) share identical mechanical and electrical parameters. Differences exist in internal contact configuration or shielding specifications not detailed in the provided parameters. Selection among these variants depends on application-specific requirements not covered in this reference.
Q: Are HARTING parts pin-compatible with Amphenol ICC parts?
A: HARTING 09663126600 and 09663126601 are functionally equivalent 25 position D-Sub receptacles. However, the backset spacing difference (0.409" versus 0.590") requires PCB layout verification. Pin-to-pin contact spacing within the connector remains standard for D-Sub 25 position connectors, but board-level mounting hole spacing differs.
Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference?
A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting flange to the rear of the connector body. The HARTING parts with 0.409" backset require less PCB depth than the Amphenol ICC parts with 0.590" backset. This affects available space behind the connector for component placement and cable routing.
Q: Is RoHS compliance mandatory for my application?
A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement for products sold in the European Union and many other markets. The original FCC17B25SC68B is RoHS non-compliant. Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts are RoHS compliant, and HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant. Compliance requirements depend on your product's target markets and customer specifications.
Q: Can I use HARTING 09663126600 instead of 09663126601?
A: Both HARTING parts are functionally equivalent. The primary difference is flange configuration: 09663126600 has an unthreaded housing/shell flange, while 09663126601 has an M3 threaded flange matching the original FCC17B25SC68B specification. Selection depends on your PCB mounting requirements and fastening method.
Q: What is the contact finish difference between parts?
A: The original FCC17B25SC68B and all Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants specify gold contact finish at 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness. HARTING parts do not specify contact finish in the provided parameters. Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance and contact reliability compared to unplated or alternative finishes.
Q: Are there inventory considerations for part selection?
A: Current inventory levels are: FCC17B25SC68B (628 pcs), FCE17B25SC68B (835 pcs), FCE17B25SC65B (1150 pcs), FCE17B25SC61B (1004 pcs), FCE17B25SC6EB (1069 pcs), FCE17B25SC6DB (1102 pcs), FCE17B25SC69B (1141 pcs), FCE17B25SC64B (719 pcs), FCE17B25SC60B (870 pcs), HARTING 09663126601 (1073 pcs), and HARTING 09663126600 (734 pcs). Inventory levels support procurement for both immediate and planned production requirements.
Q: What operating temperature range should I specify?
A: The original FCC17B25SC68B operates from -40°C to 85°C. All Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants maintain this range. HARTING parts extend the range to -55°C to 125°C, providing additional thermal margin for demanding applications. Selection depends on your application's actual operating environment.
