Engineering Selection Recommendations
Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (FCE17C37PB250, FCE17C37PB200, FCE17C37PB210, FCE17C37PB240, FCE17C37PB280, FCE17C37PB290, FCE17C37PB2D0, FCE17C37PB2E0):
These connectors are direct parametric equivalents to the FCC17C37PB250 with active product status. All FCE17 variants maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications including 37-position configuration, right-angle solder termination, 5A current rating, and UL94 V-0 flammability compliance. The primary advantage is RoHS compliance across all FCE17 variants, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs. The glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material provides enhanced mechanical and thermal stability compared to the base thermoplastic composition of the original part. Selection among FCE17 variants depends on specific application requirements related to the suffix designation (PB250, PB200, PB210, PB240, PB280, PB290, PB2D0, PB2E0), which denote configuration or feature variations not detailed in the provided parameters.
HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800:
These connectors provide functional substitution for applications where the FCC17C37PB250 is no longer available. Both HARTING parts maintain the critical D-Sub 37-position plug configuration with right-angle solder termination and equivalent mechanical form factor. The HARTING connectors feature higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C), providing enhanced performance margins for demanding applications. Both parts carry ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The backset spacing differential (0.409" versus 0.405") represents a 0.01" tolerance variation within standard connector manufacturing specifications. Contact construction differs (stamped versus machined), which may affect contact resistance characteristics in high-reliability applications.
Compliance Considerations:
For new designs or procurement requiring regulatory compliance, the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series is the preferred selection due to direct parametric equivalence and active product status. For legacy system maintenance or applications with extended temperature requirements, HARTING 09654226800 or 09654227800 provide functional alternatives with enhanced performance specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the FCE17C37PB250 directly replace the FCC17C37PB250 in existing designs?
A: Yes. The FCE17C37PB250 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, position count, mounting style, current rating, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status and enhanced dielectric material composition. No design modifications are required for direct substitution.
Q: What is the significance of the different FCE17 part number suffixes (PB250, PB200, PB210, PB240, PB280, PB290, PB2D0, PB2E0)?
A: The suffix designations indicate configuration or feature variations specific to each variant. All variants maintain identical core electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection should be based on application-specific requirements corresponding to each suffix designation.
Q: Are the HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors fully compatible with the FCC17C37PB250?
A: Both HARTING connectors provide functional compatibility for D-Sub 37-position plug applications with right-angle solder termination. The backset spacing differential (0.409" versus 0.405") falls within standard connector manufacturing tolerances. The higher current rating (6.5A) and extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) represent performance enhancements. Contact construction differs (stamped versus machined), which may affect contact resistance in high-reliability applications. Mechanical fit and electrical performance are compatible for standard applications.
Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?
A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance restricts specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. ROHS3 represents the third iteration of RoHS regulations with updated substance restrictions and compliance requirements. Both designations indicate compliance with hazardous substance restrictions; ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard.
Q: Does the glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material in FCE17 variants affect electrical performance?
A: Glass-filled thermoplastic provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability compared to base thermoplastic. Electrical performance characteristics (dielectric strength, insulation resistance) remain within equivalent specifications for standard signal applications. The material enhancement does not degrade electrical performance.
Q: What is the significance of the 0.01" backset spacing difference between Amphenol and HARTING connectors?
A: The backset spacing differential (0.405" versus 0.409") represents a minor tolerance variation within standard D-Sub connector manufacturing specifications. This difference does not affect mechanical fit or electrical performance in standard applications. Both spacing values are within acceptable connector design tolerances.
Q: Can the FCC17C37PB250 be used in new designs, or must substitutes be selected?
A: The FCC17C37PB250 is classified as obsolete. For new designs, the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series is the recommended selection due to active product status and RoHS compliance. Existing inventory of FCC17C37PB250 may be used for legacy system maintenance or repair applications.
Q: What is the contact material difference between Phosphor Bronze and Copper Alloy?
A: Phosphor Bronze (used in Amphenol connectors) and Copper Alloy (used in HARTING connectors) are both suitable contact materials for D-Sub connectors. Phosphor Bronze provides specific spring characteristics and corrosion resistance. Copper Alloy offers alternative material properties. Both materials are acceptable for signal-level applications with 5A to 6.5A current ratings.
Q: Are all substitute parts available in equivalent inventory quantities?
A: Inventory availability varies by part number and supplier. The FCE17 series variants and HARTING connectors are all listed as active products with current inventory. Specific availability should be confirmed with component suppliers for procurement planning.
