FCC17C37PA41B D-Sub 37-Position Right Angle Solder Plug Connector

Part Overview

The FCC17C37PA41B is a 37-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) with right-angle through-hole solder termination. This connector is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of equivalent and substitute parts for ongoing design support and procurement requirements. The connector features a 2-row configuration with shell size 4 (DC, C) layout, suitable for signal applications requiring 5A current capacity at 200V operating voltage.

Primary Matching Criteria:

Connector type: D-Sub plug with male pins
Position count: 37 positions
Row configuration: 2 rows
Shell size and layout: 4 (DC, C)
Mounting style: Through hole, right angle
Termination method: Solder

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

Current rating: Minimum 5A
Voltage rating: Minimum 200V (where specified)
Operating temperature range: Must encompass -40°C to 85°C
Material flammability: UL94 V-0
Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on design compatibility:

Category 1 - Direct Amphenol ICC Equivalent: FCE17C37PA41B represents an active-status successor within the same manufacturer family, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications with improved RoHS compliance.

Category 2 - HARTING Cross-Functional Substitutes: Nine HARTING models (09654226800, 09654227800, 09654236800, 09654236801, 09654236802, 09654626810, 09654626815, 09654626816, 09654627810) provide functional equivalence with variations in flange features and contact form. These parts accommodate the same 37-position, 2-row D-Sub configuration with right-angle solder mounting, though with differing backset spacing and contact material specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: FCE17C37PA41B

The FCE17C37PA41B from Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) is the preferred substitute for the obsolete FCC17C37PA41B. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 37-position configuration, 2-row layout, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right-angle solder termination, 5A current rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The FCE17C37PA41B holds active product status and is RoHS Compliant, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs while preserving full compatibility with existing PCB layouts and connector mating interfaces.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING 09654236802

For applications where regulatory compliance and extended operating temperature range are required, the HARTING 09654236802 provides functional equivalence with the following considerations:

Maintains 37-position, 2-row D-Sub configuration with shell size 4 (DC, C)
Supports through-hole right-angle solder termination
Provides 6.5A current rating, exceeding the original 5A specification
Extends operating temperature range to -55°C to 125°C
Achieves ROHS3 Compliant status
Features housing/shell flange with 4-40 mounting holes, matching the original board-side flange configuration
Backset spacing differs at 0.409" (10.40mm) versus original 0.318" (8.08mm), requiring PCB layout verification

Alternative HARTING Options:

Additional HARTING models (09654226800, 09654227800, 09654236800, 09654236801, 09654626810, 09654626815, 09654626816, 09654627810) provide equivalent 37-position D-Sub functionality with variations in flange features (unthreaded, M3, or 4-40 configurations) and board lock capabilities. Selection among these variants depends on specific PCB mounting requirements and mechanical interface specifications.

Compliance Considerations:

The FCC17C37PA41B is RoHS non-compliant. Designs requiring RoHS compliance must transition to FCE17C37PA41B (RoHS Compliant) or HARTING alternatives (ROHS3 Compliant). All substitute options maintain UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37PA41B be used as a direct replacement for FCC17C37PA41B?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PA41B is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the FCC17C37PA41B. Both connectors feature 37 positions, 2-row configuration, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right-angle solder termination, 5A current rating, and identical operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance. No PCB layout modifications are required.

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

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting surface to the rear of the connector body. The FCC17C37PA41B and FCE17C37PA41B specify 0.318" (8.08mm) backset spacing, while HARTING alternatives specify 0.409" (10.40mm). This difference affects PCB layout clearances and component placement behind the connector. If PCB layout accommodates the larger backset spacing, HARTING parts are compatible. If space is constrained, Amphenol parts are required.

Q: Are HARTING parts suitable for applications requiring 200V operation?

A: HARTING substitute parts do not specify voltage rating in the provided data. The FCC17C37PA41B and FCE17C37PA41B both specify 200V voltage rating. For applications requiring confirmed 200V operation, FCE17C37PA41B is the recommended choice. HARTING parts should be evaluated against specific application voltage requirements through manufacturer documentation.

Q: What is the difference between contact materials in Amphenol and HARTING connectors?

A: The FCC17C37PA41B and FCE17C37PA41B use phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating (15.0µin / 0.38µm thickness). HARTING alternatives use copper alloy contacts without specified plating. Phosphor bronze provides superior corrosion resistance and contact reliability. For applications requiring maximum contact durability and signal integrity, Amphenol parts are preferred. HARTING parts are suitable for general-purpose signal applications.

Q: Do HARTING parts with board lock features provide additional mechanical security?

A: HARTING models 09654626810, 09654626815, and 09654626816 include board lock features in addition to grounding indents. Board lock provides mechanical retention on the PCB, preventing accidental connector displacement. This feature is beneficial for applications subject to vibration or mechanical stress. Parts without board lock (09654226800, 09654227800, 09654236800, 09654236801, 09654236802, 09654627810) rely on flange mounting alone.

Q: What flange mounting options are available among HARTING substitutes?

A: HARTING 37-position D-Sub plugs are available with three flange configurations: unthreaded housing/shell (09654226800, 09654227800, 09654627810), M3 threaded holes (09654236801, 09654626815), and 4-40 threaded holes (09654236802, 09654626816). The original FCC17C37PA41B features board-side 4-40 flange. HARTING 09654236802 and 09654626816 match this configuration. Selection depends on PCB mounting hole specifications.

Q: Is RoHS compliance mandatory for substitute part selection?

A: RoHS compliance is mandatory for products sold in regions with RoHS regulations. The FCC17C37PA41B is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or products requiring regulatory compliance, FCE17C37PA41B (RoHS Compliant) or HARTING alternatives (ROHS3 Compliant) must be selected. For legacy systems or applications without regulatory requirements, the original part remains functional.

Q: Can HARTING parts operate at the original -40°C to 85°C temperature range?

A: Yes. HARTING alternatives specify -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range, which encompasses the original -40°C to 85°C specification. HARTING parts are suitable for applications within the original temperature range and provide extended capability for wider temperature environments.

Q: What inventory availability should be considered for part selection?

A: Current inventory levels are: FCC17C37PA41B (812 pcs), FCE17C37PA41B (839 pcs), HARTING 09654236802 (909 pcs), HARTING 09654626816 (975 pcs), and HARTING 09654627810 (739 pcs). Inventory levels support immediate procurement for all recommended substitutes. For long-term supply chain planning, active-status parts (FCE17C37PA41B and HARTING alternatives) provide greater availability assurance than the obsolete FCC17C37PA41B.
