FCC17C37AD4D0 D-Sub 37 Pin Adapter Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCC17C37AD4D0 is a D-Sub adapter connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This connector converts D-Sub 37 Pin Male connections to D-Sub 37 Pin Female connections in a free-hanging (in-line) configuration. The part functions as a connector saver device with integrated filtering capability.

The FCC17C37AD4D0 is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent or substitute parts is necessary for applications requiring continued supply, maintenance, or system upgrades where this specific model is no longer available through standard distribution channels.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCC17C37AD4D0 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Pin count: 37 Pin
• Connector gender configuration: Female to Male conversion
• Current rating: 5 A minimum
• Operating temperature range: -40°C to 85°C minimum
• Contact finish: Gold plating

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Number of rows: 2
• Shell material: Steel with tin plating
• Housing color: Black
• Connector style: Connector Saver with filter

Regulatory & Environmental Parameters:

• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts must match all electrical and mechanical parameters listed above. Variations in series designation, product status, or RoHS compliance do not affect functional substitution capability when all core parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FCE17C37AD4D0 as Primary Substitute:

The FCE17C37AD4D0 is functionally equivalent to the FCC17C37AD4D0 across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. All 37-pin D-Sub adapter specifications, current ratings, temperature ranges, contact finishes, and physical configurations are identical.

Advantages of FCE17C37AD4D0:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• RoHS Compliant designation meets current environmental and regulatory requirements
• Identical electrical performance and mechanical compatibility
• Same manufacturer (Amphenol ICC) ensures consistent quality standards
• Inventory availability (993 Pcs) supports immediate procurement

Considerations:

• The FCC17C37AD4D0 is classified as obsolete; the FCE17C37AD4D0 represents the active equivalent
• RoHS compliance status differs between the two parts; applications with RoHS requirements must use FCE17C37AD4D0
• Series designation changes from FCC17 to FCE17; this reflects product line evolution, not functional change

For new designs, maintenance applications, or system upgrades, FCE17C37AD4D0 is the recommended selection based on product status and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37AD4D0 directly replace FCC17C37AD4D0 in existing installations?

A: Yes. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. The adapter converts D-Sub 37 Pin Male to D-Sub 37 Pin Female in both cases, with matching current ratings (5 A), operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 85°C), and physical configurations (free-hanging, in-line mounting).

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

A: Series designation reflects product line classification within Amphenol ICC's connector portfolio. Both series share identical specifications for this 37-pin adapter model. The FCE17 series represents the current active product line.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect functional compatibility?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and environmental designation, not a functional parameter. Both parts perform identically. However, applications subject to RoHS requirements must use FCE17C37AD4D0 (RoHS Compliant) rather than FCC17C37AD4D0 (RoHS non-compliant).

Q: Are the contact finishes identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature gold-plated contacts with 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and signal integrity.

Q: What is the connector saver feature?

A: The connector saver design protects the mated connector pair by absorbing mechanical stress and wear. This adapter configuration allows connection and disconnection cycles to occur at the adapter interface rather than at the primary connector, extending the service life of the main connectors.

Q: Does the integrated filter affect signal characteristics?

A: The filter is a standard feature in both parts. It provides EMI/RFI suppression for D-Sub 37 pin applications. Both FCC17C37AD4D0 and FCE17C37AD4D0 include this filtering capability.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life with no moisture sensitivity precautions required. Both parts can be stored and handled under standard conditions without special moisture control measures.
