Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCC17C37PB240 are grouped into two categories based on electrical and mechanical compatibility:

Category 1: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Active, RoHS Compliant)

The FCE17C37PB240, FCE17C37PB200, FCE17C37PB210, FCE17C37PB250, FCE17C37PB280, FCE17C37PB290, FCE17C37PB2D0, and FCE17C37PB2E0 are direct functional equivalents from Amphenol ICC's active product line. These parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, current rating, operating temperature range, and termination method. The primary differences are product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance status. The dielectric material in FCE17 series includes glass-filled thermoplastic formulation.

Category 2: HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 (Active, ROHS3 Compliant)

The HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors are functionally compatible alternatives from a different manufacturer. These parts share the same connector style, position count, shell size, mounting type, and termination method. Key differences include higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A), extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C), different contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), stamped contact form versus machined, and different dielectric material composition (PBT/polyester glass-filled versus thermoplastic).

Substitution Criteria:

The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

Connector style: D-Sub
Connector type: Plug, Male Pins
Number of positions: 37
Number of rows: 2
Shell size, connector layout: 4 (DC, C)
Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS Compliance Requirements:

When RoHS compliance is mandated, the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series (FCE17C37PB240, FCE17C37PB200, FCE17C37PB210, FCE17C37PB250, FCE17C37PB280, FCE17C37PB290, FCE17C37PB2D0, FCE17C37PB2E0) are direct replacements for the obsolete FCC17C37PB240. These parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The FCE17C37PB240 provides the closest specification match with identical voltage rating specification.

For Extended Operating Temperature Range:

The HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors extend the operating temperature range to -55°C to 125°C, compared to the -40°C to 85°C range of the FCC17C37PB240. These parts also provide higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A) and ROHS3 compliance. Selection of HARTING alternatives is appropriate when extended thermal performance is required within the same connector form factor and pin configuration.

For Immediate Availability:

All substitute parts listed are in active production with confirmed inventory. The FCE17C37PB2D0 offers the highest inventory level (1133 pieces) among Amphenol ICC alternatives, while the HARTING 09654226800 provides 1047 pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PB240 directly replace the FCC17C37PB240 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PB240 maintains identical connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and termination method. The primary differences are product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance. The dielectric material formulation differs slightly (glass-filled thermoplastic in FCE17 versus standard thermoplastic in FCC17), but this does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants?

A: The FCE17C37PB240, FCE17C37PB200, FCE17C37PB210, FCE17C37PB250, FCE17C37PB280, FCE17C37PB290, FCE17C37PB2D0, and FCE17C37PB2E0 are electrically and mechanically identical. The part number suffix indicates internal design variations that do not affect external compatibility or performance specifications. All variants are RoHS compliant and suitable for direct substitution.

Q: When should HARTING 09654226800 or 09654227800 be selected instead of Amphenol ICC alternatives?

A: HARTING connectors are appropriate when extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) or higher current capacity (6.5A) is required. Both HARTING parts maintain the same connector form factor, pin configuration, and mounting style. ROHS3 compliance is provided. Contact material differs (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), and contact form is stamped rather than machined.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility concerns when substituting between manufacturers?

A: All substitute parts maintain identical shell size (4, DC, C), mounting type (through hole, right angle), backset spacing (0.405" to 0.409"), and flange configuration (unthreaded housing/shell). Mechanical compatibility is confirmed across all listed alternatives. Pin-to-pin spacing and connector envelope dimensions are preserved.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The FCC17C37PB240 is RoHS non-compliant, while all FCE17 series variants are RoHS compliant. HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant. RoHS compliance is required for products sold into European markets and for many industrial applications. Selection of RoHS-compliant alternatives is necessary for new designs and for compliance with customer specifications.

Q: Can the FCC17C37PB240 be used interchangeably with HARTING 09654226800 in all applications?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed. However, the HARTING connector provides higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C). These enhanced specifications do not create incompatibility but represent performance improvements. Contact material and contact form differ, which may affect specific application requirements related to contact resistance or durability in high-cycle applications.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitute parts?

A: The FCC17C37PB240 has 840 pieces in stock. Amphenol ICC FCE17 alternatives range from 751 to 1133 pieces in inventory. HARTING alternatives provide 822 to 1047 pieces. All parts are available in new original condition. Selection based on immediate availability is possible across all alternatives.
