Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FCC17B25SM650 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector style (D-Sub)
• Connector type (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
• Number of positions (25)
• Number of rows (2)
• Shell size and layout (Size 3, DB/B)
• Mounting type (Free Hanging, In-Line)
• Flange feature (Cable Side, M3)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Termination method (Solder Cup)
• Shell material and finish (Steel, Tin Plated)
• Contact finish (Gold, 15.0µin thickness)
• Current rating (5A)
• Voltage rating (200V)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)

Regulatory & Environmental:

• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
• Dielectric material composition

The FCE17B25SM650 meets all mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements. The primary distinction is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FCE17B25SM650 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the FCC17B25SM650 across all mechanical and electrical parameters. Selection between these parts is determined by application requirements and regulatory constraints:

For applications requiring RoHS compliance: The FCE17B25SM650 is the appropriate selection, as it maintains full RoHS compliance while preserving all electrical and mechanical specifications of the original FCC17B25SM650.

For applications with legacy RoHS exemptions: Either part may be selected based on availability and procurement timelines. The FCC17B25SM650 remains available in inventory (1189 pieces) despite obsolete status.

For new designs: The FCE17B25SM650 is the preferred selection due to active product status, ensuring long-term availability and manufacturer support. The enhanced dielectric material specification (glass-filled thermoplastic) provides improved mechanical and thermal properties compared to the standard thermoplastic formulation.

Voltage rating consideration: The FCE17B25SM650 does not specify a voltage rating in available documentation. Applications requiring explicit 200V voltage rating confirmation should reference the FCE17B25SM650 datasheet or contact the manufacturer directly for voltage specification validation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17B25SM650 be used as a direct replacement for the FCC17B25SM650 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25SM650 maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including connector style, position count, shell size, termination method, current rating, operating temperature range, and contact materials. Pin-to-pin compatibility is preserved.

Q: What is the significance of the dielectric material difference (Thermoplastic versus Thermoplastic, Glass Filled)?

A: The glass-filled thermoplastic formulation in the FCE17B25SM650 provides enhanced mechanical strength and improved thermal stability compared to standard thermoplastic. This represents an improved material specification that does not compromise compatibility with the original design.

Q: Why is the voltage rating not specified for the FCE17B25SM650?

A: The voltage rating specification is not included in the available technical parameters for the FCE17B25SM650. For applications where 200V voltage rating is a critical requirement, the manufacturer datasheet should be consulted to confirm voltage specifications.

Q: What is the impact of RoHS compliance differences between these parts?

A: The FCC17B25SM650 is RoHS non-compliant, while the FCE17B25SM650 is RoHS compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations (EU Directive 2011/65/EU and amendments), the FCE17B25SM650 is the required selection. For applications with RoHS exemptions or legacy systems, either part may be used based on availability.

Q: Are there any differences in solder cup termination between these connectors?

A: Both connectors utilize identical solder cup termination methods. No modifications to PCB layout, solder process parameters, or assembly procedures are required when substituting between these parts.

Q: What is the current inventory status for each part?

A: The FCC17B25SM650 has 1189 pieces in stock (obsolete status). The FCE17B25SM650 has 947 pieces in stock (active status). For long-term procurement planning, the active status of the FCE17B25SM650 ensures continued availability.

Q: Are the M3 cable-side flange specifications identical between both connectors?

A: Yes. Both connectors feature identical cable-side flange specifications with M3 mounting holes, ensuring mechanical interchangeability in cable assemblies and mounting applications.
