Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: FCE17C37PA2DB

The FCE17C37PA2DB is the direct active equivalent to the obsolete FCC17C37PA2DB. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering RoHS compliance. The FCE17 series represents the current production line for this connector family. Selection of this part eliminates obsolescence risk and aligns with modern regulatory requirements.

Secondary Recommendations: FCE17C37PA20B, FCE17C37PA21B, FCE17C37PA24B, FCE17C37PA25B, FCE17C37PA28B, FCE17C37PA29B, FCE17C37PA2EB

All FCE17 series variants maintain identical core electrical and mechanical parameters as the FCC17C37PA2DB. These parts are active production items with RoHS compliance. Selection among these variants depends on specific application requirements not detailed in the provided parameters. All are suitable substitutes where the FCC17C37PA2DB is specified.

Alternative Recommendation: HARTING 09654226800 or 09654227800

The HARTING D-Sub 37 position right angle solder plugs provide functional equivalence with the following considerations:

Backset spacing differs (0.409" vs. 0.318"), requiring mechanical envelope verification
Current rating is higher (6.5A vs. 5A), providing additional capacity margin
Operating temperature range is extended (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -40°C ~ 85°C)
Contact material is copper alloy rather than phosphor bronze
RoHS3 compliance is confirmed

These parts are suitable where the mechanical and thermal envelope accommodates the increased backset spacing and where the extended operating temperature range provides system benefit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PA2DB directly replace the FCC17C37PA2DB?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PA2DB is the active production equivalent. It maintains identical connector type, position count, row configuration, shell size, mounting type, termination method, current rating, operating temperature range, and flammability rating. The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance (compliant vs. non-compliant).

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17 variants (PA20B, PA21B, PA24B, PA25B, PA28B, PA29B, PA2EB)?

A: The provided parameters do not specify the functional differences between these FCE17 variants. All maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for connector type, position count, shell size, mounting, termination, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature, and flammability rating. Selection among these variants requires application-specific criteria not included in the provided data.

Q: Can HARTING 09654226800 or 09654227800 be used as a direct replacement?

A: These HARTING connectors provide functional equivalence with design considerations. The backset spacing is 0.409" compared to 0.318" for the FCC17C37PA2DB, requiring verification that the printed circuit board layout and mechanical envelope accommodate this difference. The higher current rating (6.5A vs. 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -40°C ~ 85°C) are compatible with the original specification. Contact material differs (copper alloy vs. phosphor bronze), which may affect contact resistance characteristics in specific applications.

Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for this connector?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance indicates that the connector meets regulatory requirements restricting the use of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, and certain flame retardants. The FCC17C37PA2DB is RoHS non-compliant, while the FCE17 series variants and HARTING parts are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, selection of a compliant part is required.

Q: Are all substitute parts rated for the same current and voltage?

A: The FCC17C37PA2DB is rated for 5A at 200V. All FCE17 series variants maintain the 5A current rating. The HARTING parts are rated for 6.5A with voltage rating not specified in the provided parameters. For applications requiring the 200V voltage rating, the FCE17 series variants are recommended. The HARTING parts are suitable where the higher current capacity provides system benefit.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference?

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the solder pins. The FCC17C37PA2DB has 0.318" (8.08mm) backset spacing, while the HARTING alternatives have 0.409" (10.40mm). This difference affects the physical mounting envelope on the printed circuit board. If the original design accommodates only 0.318" spacing, the HARTING parts cannot be used without circuit board redesign. The FCE17 series maintains the original 0.318" spacing and requires no mechanical modification.

Q: Is the contact finish difference between gold and unspecified important?

A: The FCC17C37PA2DB and all FCE17 variants specify gold contact finish at 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness. The HARTING parts do not specify contact finish in the provided parameters. Gold plating provides corrosion resistance and reliable contact performance. For applications requiring specified contact finish characteristics, the FCE17 series variants are recommended.

Q: What is the operating temperature range significance?

A: The FCC17C37PA2DB operates from -40°C to 85°C. The FCE17 series maintains this range. The HARTING parts operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing extended low and high temperature capability. For applications operating within the -40°C to 85°C range, all parts are suitable. For applications requiring extended temperature operation, the HARTING parts provide additional margin.
