FCC17C37PA44B D-Sub 37-Position Right Angle Solder Plug Connector

Part Overview

The FCC17C37PA44B is a 37-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) in the FCC17 series. This connector features a right-angle through-hole solder termination with a male pin configuration and board-side 4-40 flange mounting. The part is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinuation from the manufacturer. Due to its obsolete status and limited availability for future procurement, identifying equivalent and substitute D-Sub 37-position plug connectors with compatible electrical and mechanical parameters is necessary for design continuity and system maintenance.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: FCE17C37PA44B (Amphenol ICC)

The FCE17C37PA44B is the direct functional equivalent of the FCC17C37PA44B. Both connectors share identical backset spacing (0.318" / 8.08mm), board-side flange configuration, and electrical ratings. The FCE17C37PA44B is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability. This part is RoHS Compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the original obsolete part does not meet. Current inventory of 832 units is available. Selection of this part requires no design modifications and maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Secondary Substitutes: HARTING 09654226800, 09654227800, 09654236800, 09654236801, 09654236802, 09654626810, 09654626815, 09654626816, 09654627810

HARTING D-Sub 37-position plug connectors provide functional substitution with the following considerations:

All HARTING parts feature increased backset spacing (0.409" / 10.40mm) compared to the original part (0.318" / 8.08mm). This spacing difference requires PCB layout verification to confirm mechanical clearance and mounting hole compatibility.
All HARTING parts provide enhanced current rating (6.5A) compared to the original specification (5A), offering improved electrical capacity.
All HARTING parts support extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) compared to the original (-40°C ~ 85°C).
All HARTING parts are ROHS3 Compliant and currently in active production.
HARTING parts 09654226800, 09654227800, 09654236800, 09654626810, and 09654627810 feature housing/shell flange configurations (unthreaded or threaded variants).
HARTING parts 09654236801 and 09654626815 feature M3 threaded flange mounting.
HARTING parts 09654236802 and 09654626816 feature 4-40 threaded flange mounting, matching the original part's flange specification.
HARTING parts 09654626810, 09654626815, and 09654626816 include board lock features in addition to grounding indents.

Selection of HARTING substitutes requires PCB layout modification to accommodate the increased backset spacing and flange configuration differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PA44B directly replace the FCC17C37PA44B without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PA44B maintains identical backset spacing (0.318" / 8.08mm) and board-side 4-40 flange configuration as the FCC17C37PA44B. No PCB layout modifications are required for mechanical compatibility. Both parts are D-Sub 37-position plugs with through-hole right-angle solder termination and identical shell size (4 DC, C).

Q: What is the primary difference between the Amphenol ICC FCE17C37PA44B and HARTING substitutes?

A: The FCE17C37PA44B maintains the original backset spacing of 0.318" (8.08mm), while all HARTING substitutes feature increased backset spacing of 0.409" (10.40mm). This spacing difference affects PCB mounting hole positioning and requires layout verification. HARTING parts also feature different flange mounting configurations (housing/shell-based rather than board-side).

Q: Are HARTING D-Sub connectors electrically compatible with the original FCC17C37PA44B?

A: Yes, HARTING D-Sub 37-position plug connectors are electrically compatible. All substitute parts maintain the same connector style (D-Sub), connector type (Plug, Male Pins), number of positions (37), shell size (4 DC, C), and termination method (Solder). HARTING parts provide equal or superior electrical performance with higher current ratings (6.5A vs. 5A) and extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -40°C ~ 85°C).

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference between the original part and HARTING substitutes?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector's mounting flange to the rear of the connector body. The original FCC17C37PA44B specifies 0.318" (8.08mm), while HARTING substitutes specify 0.409" (10.40mm). This 0.091" (2.32mm) difference affects the positioning of PCB mounting holes and connector clearance from the board surface. PCB layout verification is required before selecting HARTING substitutes to confirm adequate clearance and proper mounting hole alignment.

Q: Which HARTING part should be selected if the original 4-40 flange mounting must be preserved?

A: HARTING parts 09654236802 and 09654626816 feature 4-40 threaded flange mounting, matching the original FCC17C37PA44B specification. Part 09654236802 provides standard grounding indents, while part 09654626816 includes both board lock and grounding indents features. Both parts maintain the same shell size (4 DC, C) and termination method (Solder).

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The FCE17C37PA44B is RoHS Compliant. All HARTING substitute parts (09654226800, 09654227800, 09654236800, 09654236801, 09654236802, 09654626810, 09654626815, 09654626816, 09654627810) are ROHS3 Compliant. The original FCC17C37PA44B is RoHS non-compliant. Selection of any substitute part addresses RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: What is the difference between HARTING parts with unthreaded, M3, and 4-40 flange configurations?

A: Flange configuration determines the mounting method to the PCB or housing. Unthreaded flanges (09654226800, 09654227800, 09654236800, 09654627810) provide basic mounting without threaded fasteners. M3 flanges (09654236801, 09654626815) accommodate M3 metric threaded fasteners. 4-40 flanges (09654236802, 09654626816) accommodate 4-40 UNC threaded fasteners, matching the original part's specification. Selection depends on the target application's mounting requirements and available fastener specifications.

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

A: Yes. HARTING parts 09654626810, 09654626815, and 09654626816 include board lock features in addition to grounding indents. Board lock features provide mechanical retention to the PCB, preventing accidental connector displacement. Parts without board lock (09654226800, 09654227800, 09654236800, 09654236801, 09654236802, 09654627810) rely on flange mounting and grounding indents alone. Selection of board lock variants is recommended for applications requiring enhanced mechanical security.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute part?

A: FCE17C37PA44B: 832 units. HARTING 09654226800: 1047 units. HARTING 09654227800: 822 units. HARTING 09654236800: 1021 units. HARTING 09654236801: 640 units. HARTING 09654236802: 909 units. HARTING 09654626810: 631 units. HARTING 09654626815: 694 units. HARTING 09654626816: 975 units. HARTING 09654627810: 739 units. All substitute parts are currently in stock.
