Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (FCE17C37PB290, FCE17C37PB200, FCE17C37PB210, FCE17C37PB240, FCE17C37PB250, FCE17C37PB280, FCE17C37PB2D0, FCE17C37PB2E0)

These parts are the primary recommended substitutes for the obsolete FCC17C37PB290. All FCE17 variants are active products with RoHS compliance, meeting modern regulatory requirements. They maintain identical dimensional specifications, mounting configuration, and electrical ratings. The transition from the FCC17 series to the FCE17 series represents a direct product line evolution with enhanced compliance status. All parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and MSL 1 rating.

HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800

These connectors provide functional equivalence with extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and higher current rating (6.5A). They are suitable for applications requiring broader thermal performance. Backset spacing differs by 0.004" (0.11mm), which may require mechanical validation in space-constrained designs. Contact material is copper alloy with stamped form rather than machined phosphor bronze. ROHS3 compliance and active product status support long-term availability. These parts are appropriate for new designs where extended temperature performance is specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37PB290 directly replace FCC17C37PB290 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PB290 maintains identical dimensional specifications, electrical ratings, mounting type, and connector layout. It is a direct functional replacement with improved RoHS compliance status. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17 part numbers (PB200, PB210, PB240, PB250, PB280, PB2D0, PB2E0)?

A: All FCE17 variants share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The suffix designations (PB200, PB210, etc.) represent internal Amphenol ICC coding that does not affect functional performance or compatibility. Selection among these variants is based on inventory availability and lead time.

Q: Are HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 suitable for direct replacement?

A: These HARTING connectors are functionally equivalent but with noted differences: backset spacing is 0.409" versus 0.405", current rating is 6.5A versus 5A, and operating temperature extends to -55°C to 125°C. They are suitable for replacement in applications where these extended specifications do not conflict with existing design constraints. Mechanical validation is recommended due to backset spacing variance.

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

A: The original FCC17C37PB290 is RoHS non-compliant. All recommended Amphenol ICC FCE17 substitutes and HARTING alternatives are RoHS or ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and manufacturing processes. This compliance status is mandatory for many OEM applications and export markets.

Q: Does contact finish affect interchangeability?

A: The FCC17C37PB290 features gold-plated contacts (15.0µin thickness). All Amphenol ICC FCE17 substitutes maintain identical gold plating specifications. HARTING parts do not specify contact finish in the provided data. Contact finish affects signal integrity and corrosion resistance; matching specifications is recommended for signal-critical applications.

Q: What is the impact of dielectric material differences?

A: The original part uses thermoplastic dielectric material. FCE17 substitutes use thermoplastic glass-filled material, which provides improved mechanical strength and thermal stability. HARTING parts use polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) with glass fill. These material upgrades are compatible with the original application requirements and do not introduce incompatibility.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for substitute selection?

A: Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants show varying inventory levels (751 to 1,133 pieces). HARTING parts show 822 to 1,047 pieces in stock. For time-sensitive applications, FCE17C37PB250 (1,077 pieces) and FCE17C37PB2D0 (1,133 pieces) offer highest availability among Amphenol options.
