FCC17C37AD400 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCC17C37AD400 is a D-Sub adapter connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This connector functions as a gender changer, converting D-Sub 37 Pin Male connections to D-Sub 37 Pin Female connections in a free-hanging (in-line) configuration. The adapter incorporates integrated filtering and is designed for applications requiring connector preservation in signal routing and equipment interconnection.

The FCC17C37AD400 carries an obsolete product status. Locating equivalent or substitute components is necessary to ensure continued availability for maintenance, repair, and new system integration where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FCC17C37AD400 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Functional Equivalence Parameters:

• Connector configuration: D-Sub 37 Pin Female to D-Sub 37 Pin Male adapter
• Mounting style: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Number of rows: 2
• Integrated filter feature

Electrical & Environmental Equivalence Parameters:

• Current rating: 5 A minimum
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C minimum
• Contact finish: Gold plating
• Shell material: Steel with tin plating

Mechanical & Material Equivalence Parameters:

• Housing color: Black
• Connector style: Connector Saver
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Parts meeting all these parameters are classified as direct substitutes. Variations in product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance do not affect functional substitution but influence procurement strategy and regulatory compliance requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FCE17C37AD400 as Primary Substitute:

The FCE17C37AD400 is a direct functional equivalent to the FCC17C37AD400. All electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are identical. The FCE17C37AD400 differs only in product status and regulatory compliance:

• Product Status: The FCE17C37AD400 carries active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing and availability, whereas the FCC17C37AD400 is obsolete.
• RoHS Compliance: The FCE17C37AD400 is RoHS Compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in many jurisdictions. The FCC17C37AD400 is RoHS non-compliant.
• Series Designation: The FCE17C37AD400 belongs to the FCE17 series, while the FCC17C37AD400 belongs to the FCC17 series. Both series are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and share identical connector specifications.

For new designs, maintenance applications, and systems requiring regulatory compliance, the FCE17C37AD400 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system repairs where the original FCC17C37AD400 specification must be maintained, the FCE17C37AD400 provides functional compatibility with improved compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37AD400 be used as a direct replacement for the FCC17C37AD400?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37AD400 is functionally equivalent across all electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters. Both connectors provide identical D-Sub 37 Pin Female to D-Sub 37 Pin Male adapter functionality with the same current rating, operating temperature range, contact finish, and filtering features.

Q: What is the difference between the FCC17 and FCE17 series?

A: The FCC17 and FCE17 series are both manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and share identical connector specifications for this adapter model. The primary difference is product status: FCC17 is obsolete, while FCE17 is active. Additionally, FCE17 is RoHS Compliant, whereas FCC17 is RoHS non-compliant.
