Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series Selection (FCE17C37PA2EB, FCE17C37PA20B, FCE17C37PA21B, FCE17C37PA24B, FCE17C37PA25B, FCE17C37PA28B, FCE17C37PA29B, FCE17C37PA2DB):

The FCE17 series represents the primary substitution path for the obsolete FCC17C37PA2EB. All eight variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the original part, including 37-position configuration, 5A current rating, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range. The critical advantage of the FCE17 series is active product status combined with RoHS Compliance certification, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and production environments subject to RoHS directives. These parts are manufactured by the same supplier (Amphenol ICC Commercial Products) and provide direct form-fit-function replacement capability.

HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 Selection:

The HARTING alternatives (09654226800 and 09654227800) provide functional equivalence for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance or higher current capacity. These connectors maintain the 37-position, 2-row D-Sub configuration with identical shell size and right-angle through-hole solder termination. The HARTING parts deliver 6.5A current rating (versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C), making them suitable for industrial environments with elevated thermal requirements. The increased backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.318") requires PCB layout verification to confirm mechanical compatibility. HARTING parts carry ROHS3 Compliance and REACH Unaffected status.

Compliance Considerations:

Applications subject to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU or equivalent regional regulations require selection from the FCE17 series or HARTING alternatives, as the original FCC17C37PA2EB is RoHS non-compliant. The FCE17 series provides the most direct compliance path with identical specifications. HARTING parts satisfy ROHS3 Compliance requirements for applications in regions enforcing the updated directive.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PA2EB directly replace the FCC17C37PA2EB without PCB modification?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PA2EB maintains identical connector geometry, pin configuration, backset spacing (0.318"), and solder termination footprint. No PCB layout changes are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the multiple FCE17 variants (PA2EB, PA20B, PA21B, PA24B, PA25B, PA28B, PA29B, PA2DB)?

A: All FCE17 variants share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The suffix designations (PA2EB, PA20B, PA21B, etc.) represent internal Amphenol ICC product line variations. Selection among these variants should be based on supplier availability and lead time requirements, as they are functionally equivalent for the FCC17C37PA2EB application.

Q: Are the HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors pin-compatible with the original FCC17C37PA2EB?

A: Both HARTING parts maintain the 37-position, 2-row D-Sub configuration with identical pin assignments. However, the increased backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.318") requires verification of PCB mounting hole alignment. Mechanical compatibility must be confirmed before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference between Amphenol ICC and HARTING parts?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting flange to the first row of pins. The Amphenol ICC parts (0.318") and HARTING parts (0.409") have different spacing values. This affects PCB layout and mounting hole positioning. Verify that the selected connector's backset spacing accommodates the existing PCB design before substitution.

Q: Does the FCC17C37PA2EB meet current RoHS compliance requirements?

A: No. The FCC17C37PA2EB is classified as RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, select from the FCE17 series (RoHS Compliant) or HARTING alternatives (ROHS3 Compliant).

Q: What is the current rating difference between the original part and HARTING alternatives?

A: The FCC17C37PA2EB and all FCE17 variants are rated for 5A continuous current. The HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 are rated for 6.5A. Selection should be based on actual circuit current requirements. The higher HARTING rating provides additional margin for applications approaching the 5A limit.

Q: Can the HARTING connectors operate at the same temperature range as the original FCC17C37PA2EB?

A: The FCC17C37PA2EB operates from -40°C to 85°C. The HARTING parts operate from -55°C to 125°C, which encompasses the original temperature range. HARTING parts are suitable for applications requiring extended thermal performance beyond the original specification.

Q: What contact material differences exist between the substitute options?

A: The FCC17C37PA2EB and all FCE17 variants use phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating (15.0µin thickness). The HARTING parts use copper alloy contacts with unspecified finish. For applications requiring specific contact material properties or corrosion resistance, the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series maintains material consistency with the original part.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: The Amphenol ICC FCE17 series and original FCC17C37PA2EB do not specify packaging details in the provided data. The HARTING parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with the supplier before procurement.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new product designs?

A: For new designs, select from the FCE17 series (FCE17C37PA2EB, FCE17C37PA20B, FCE17C37PA21B, FCE17C37PA24B, FCE17C37PA25B, FCE17C37PA28B, FCE17C37PA29B, or FCE17C37PA2DB) based on supplier availability and lead time. These parts provide active product status, RoHS compliance, and identical specifications to the original part. HARTING alternatives are suitable when enhanced thermal performance or higher current capacity is required.
