Engineering Selection Recommendations
Primary Substitute: FCE17B25SN210
The FCE17B25SN210 is the recommended primary substitute for the obsolete FCC17B25SN210. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The FCE17B25SN210 is active in production status with 962 units in stock. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance: FCE17B25SN210 is RoHS Compliant, whereas the original FCC17B25SN210 is RoHS non-compliant. This substitution is direct and requires no design modification.
Secondary Substitutes: TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HDP-20 Series (5205738-1, 5205738-3)
The 5205738-1 and 5205738-3 connectors from TE Connectivity are functionally compatible alternatives. Both are active products with higher current ratings (6A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). The 5205738-3 is RoHS Compliant; 5205738-1 is ROHS3 Compliant. These parts maintain through-hole solder termination and 25-position DB/B configuration. Voltage rating specification differs (125V versus 200V for the original), requiring verification for applications exceeding 125V.
Alternative Substitutes: NorComp 172 Series (172-025-283L001, 172-025-283L031)
The NorComp 172 series connectors (172-025-283L001, 172-025-283L031, 172-025-283L011, 172-025-283L021) are ROHS3 Compliant active products with extended operating temperature ranges (-50°C ~ 125°C). These connectors feature panel mount, through-hole configurations with alternative flange designs. Contact material is brass rather than phosphor bronze. These parts are suitable for applications where panel mounting is required or where extended temperature operation is necessary.
Legacy Alternative: TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HDP-20 Series (205738-3, 205738-7)
The 205738-3 and 205738-7 connectors are active TE Connectivity products with specifications similar to the primary substitute group. Both are RoHS non-compliant, matching the compliance status of the original FCC17B25SN210. These parts are suitable for legacy system replacements where RoHS compliance is not required.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can FCE17B25SN210 be used as a direct replacement for FCC17B25SN210?
A: Yes. The FCE17B25SN210 is a direct substitute. Both connectors share identical electrical ratings (5A, 200V), mechanical configuration (25-position DB/B, through-hole solder), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), and contact specifications (phosphor bronze with gold plating). The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. No design modification is required.
Q: What is the difference between the Amphenol ICC and TE Connectivity substitutes?
A: Amphenol ICC FCE17B25SN210 is the closest equivalent, differing only in RoHS compliance. TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series (5205738-1, 5205738-3, 205738-3, 205738-7) offer higher current ratings (6A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). Voltage ratings for TE Connectivity parts are specified at 125V, lower than the original 200V specification.
Q: Are NorComp 172 series connectors compatible with the FCC17B25SN210?
A: NorComp 172 series connectors (172-025-283L001, 172-025-283L031, 172-025-283L011, 172-025-283L021) are functionally compatible for 25-position DB/B solder-terminated applications. These parts feature panel mount, through-hole configurations with alternative flange designs. Contact material is brass rather than phosphor bronze. Extended operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 125°C) and ROHS3 compliance are provided. Flange configuration differences require verification for specific mounting requirements.
Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference between FCC17B25SN210 (200V) and substitute parts?
A: The original FCC17B25SN210 is rated for 200V operation. TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series substitutes are rated for 125V. For applications operating at voltages between 125V and 200V, the original specification or Amphenol ICC FCE17B25SN210 (which maintains 200V rating) must be used. For applications operating at 125V or below, TE Connectivity substitutes are acceptable.
Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?
A: Packaging varies by part number. FCE17B25SN210 is supplied in standard packaging. NorComp 172 series parts are supplied in trays. TE Connectivity 205738-3 and 205738-7 are supplied in bulk. TE Connectivity 5205738-1 is supplied in bulk; 5205738-3 is supplied in tubes. Packaging selection should be coordinated with procurement and assembly requirements.
Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?
A: No. RoHS compliance varies: FCE17B25SN210 is RoHS Compliant; 5205738-1 is ROHS3 Compliant; 5205738-3 is RoHS Compliant; 172-025-283L001, 172-025-283L031, 172-025-283L011, 172-025-283L021 are ROHS3 Compliant; 205738-3 and 205738-7 are RoHS non-compliant. Design requirements and regulatory obligations must determine compliance selection.
Q: What is the inventory status for substitute parts?
A: FCE17B25SN210 has 962 units in stock. NorComp 172-025-283L001 has 1307 units; 172-025-283L031 has 1043 units; 172-025-283L011 has 740 units; 172-025-283L021 has 884 units. TE Connectivity 205738-3 has 1048 units; 205738-7 has 917 units; 5205738-1 has 815 units; 5205738-3 has 934 units. Inventory levels support procurement planning for both immediate and long-term requirements.
Q: Can substitute parts with higher current ratings (6A) be used in applications rated for 5A?
A: Yes. Parts with higher current ratings (6A) are suitable for applications rated at 5A or lower. The higher rating provides additional margin and does not create compatibility issues. Connector selection should be based on application requirements, not on exceeding those requirements.
Q: What mounting configuration differences exist among substitute parts?
A: FCC17B25SN210, FCE17B25SN210, and TE Connectivity parts feature through-hole mounting with unthreaded housing/shell flanges. NorComp 172 series parts feature panel mount, through-hole configurations with alternative flange designs: 172-025-283L001 has unthreaded housing/shell; 172-025-283L011 and 172-025-283L021 have board-side 4-40 flanges; 172-025-283L031 has mating-side 4-40 flange. Flange configuration selection depends on specific mounting requirements.
