Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17C37PB28B

The FCE17C37PB28B is the direct active production equivalent from Amphenol ICC. This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete FCC17C37PB28B while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. This connector is the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing procurement where direct compatibility with existing tooling and assembly processes is required.

Alternative Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series Options

Parts FCE17C37PB20B, FCE17C37PB21B, FCE17C37PB24B, FCE17C37PB25B, FCE17C37PB29B, FCE17C37PB2DB, and FCE17C37PB2EB are functionally equivalent alternatives within the active FCE17 series. These parts share identical core specifications and RoHS compliance status. Selection among these variants depends on specific connector configuration requirements indicated by the suffix designation.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING 09654226800 or 09654227800

The HARTING connectors 09654226800 and 09654227800 provide alternative manufacturer options with enhanced performance characteristics. These parts maintain the same connector type, position count, shell size, and mounting configuration. The higher current rating (6.5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) provide additional performance margin for demanding applications. ROHS3 compliance status indicates full regulatory alignment with current environmental standards. These connectors are suitable for applications where the enhanced thermal and current capabilities provide system-level benefits.

Compliance Considerations

The obsolete FCC17C37PB28B carries RoHS non-compliant status. All recommended substitute parts offer RoHS compliance (FCE17 series) or ROHS3 compliance (HARTING series), ensuring alignment with current regulatory requirements for new product designs and procurement in regulated markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PB28B directly replace the obsolete FCC17C37PB28B?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PB28B is the direct active production equivalent with identical connector specifications, electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and mounting configuration. No design modifications are required for this substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17 series variants (PB28B, PB20B, PB21B, etc.)?

A: All FCE17 series variants maintain the same core electrical and mechanical specifications for 37 position D-Sub plug connectors with right angle solder termination. The suffix designations indicate different connector configurations or internal specifications. Selection should be based on specific application requirements and existing design documentation.

Q: Are the HARTING connectors (09654226800, 09654227800) fully compatible with the FCC17C37PB28B?

A: The HARTING connectors maintain the same connector type, position count, row configuration, shell size, mounting type, and termination method. The backset spacing differs slightly (0.409" versus 0.405"), which is within acceptable tolerance variation for D-Sub connectors. The higher current rating (6.5A) and extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) provide enhanced performance. These parts are mechanically and electrically compatible for applications within their specified operating parameters.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance in selecting a substitute?

A: RoHS compliance indicates that the connector meets environmental and regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions. The obsolete FCC17C37PB28B is RoHS non-compliant, while all recommended substitutes offer RoHS or ROHS3 compliance. For new designs and procurement in regulated markets, RoHS-compliant alternatives are required.

Q: Can I use the HARTING connectors in existing designs without modification?

A: The HARTING connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible with the FCC17C37PB28B for applications operating within the specified current (5A minimum) and temperature (-40°C ~ 85°C) ranges. The slight backset spacing variation (0.409" versus 0.405") is within standard D-Sub connector tolerances. However, verification of mechanical fit in existing PCB layouts and connector housings is recommended before production implementation.

Q: What inventory status should I consider when selecting a substitute?

A: All recommended substitute parts are available in active inventory. The FCE17C37PB28B offers 1,039 units in stock, providing immediate availability for production requirements. Alternative FCE17 variants and HARTING options maintain inventory levels ranging from 692 to 1,152 units, ensuring supply continuity for ongoing procurement.

Q: Are there any performance differences between the Amphenol ICC and HARTING options?

A: Both manufacturers provide connectors meeting the same core specifications for 37 position D-Sub plug connectors. The HARTING connectors offer higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). Contact material differs (Phosphor Bronze for Amphenol ICC versus Copper Alloy for HARTING), which may influence performance in specific corrosive environments. Selection should be based on application requirements and existing supplier relationships.
