Engineering Selection Recommendations
Primary Substitutes (Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series):
The FCE17C37PB2DB, FCE17C37PB20B, FCE17C37PB21B, FCE17C37PB24B, FCE17C37PB25B, FCE17C37PB28B, FCE17C37PB29B, and FCE17C37PB2EB are direct functional equivalents from Amphenol ICC's active FCE17 series. These parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the obsolete FCC17C37PB2DB while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The FCE17 variants differ only in internal connector pin configurations (indicated by the suffix codes PB20B through PB2EB), which do not affect the external mechanical or electrical interface. Selection among FCE17 variants depends on specific pin assignment requirements for the application.
Secondary Substitutes (HARTING):
The HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 provide alternative sourcing from a different manufacturer while maintaining all critical electrical and mechanical compatibility parameters. These connectors feature higher current ratings (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C), offering enhanced performance margins for demanding applications. Both HARTING parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification and are actively manufactured.
Compliance Considerations:
The original FCC17C37PB2DB is RoHS non-compliant. All Amphenol ICC FCE17 series substitutes are RoHS compliant, and HARTING alternatives are ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, selection of any active substitute part is mandatory.
Product Status Impact:
The obsolete status of FCC17C37PB2DB indicates discontinued manufacturing and limited long-term availability. Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts are recommended for new designs and ongoing production to ensure supply chain continuity and manufacturer support.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can FCE17C37PB2DB be used as a direct replacement for FCC17C37PB2DB?
A: Yes. The FCE17C37PB2DB is a direct functional equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary differences are active product status and RoHS compliance. The external connector interface, pin count, shell size, mounting configuration, and electrical ratings are identical.
Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17 variants (PB20B, PB21B, PB24B, PB25B, PB28B, PB29B, PB2EB)?
A: The suffix codes indicate different internal pin configurations and contact arrangements. All variants maintain the same external mechanical interface (37 positions, 2 rows, shell size 4, right angle solder termination). Selection depends on the specific pin assignment and contact type requirements of your application. Consult the detailed pin configuration documentation for each variant to determine compatibility with your circuit design.
Q: Are HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 mechanically compatible with the FCC17C37PB2DB?
A: Yes, with minor dimensional tolerance differences. Both HARTING parts maintain the same connector type, position count, row configuration, shell size, and mounting orientation. The backset spacing differs slightly (0.409" versus 0.405"), which is within standard connector tolerance ranges and does not affect mechanical fit or electrical performance. HARTING parts offer higher current ratings (6.5A) and extended temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C).
Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?
A: The original FCC17C37PB2DB is RoHS non-compliant, meaning it may contain restricted substances such as lead. All substitute parts listed are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant, indicating compliance with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, EU market requirements, or customer specifications, RoHS-compliant substitutes are required.
Q: Can I use a HARTING connector in place of an Amphenol ICC connector in the same assembly?
A: Yes. HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 are mechanically and electrically compatible with the FCC17C37PB2DB. Both maintain the same connector type, pin count, shell size, and solder termination. The primary considerations are the slightly different backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.405") and the extended operating temperature range of HARTING parts. Verify that your PCB layout and mechanical mounting accommodate the minor dimensional differences.
Q: What is the current rating difference between the original part and HARTING substitutes?
A: The FCC17C37PB2DB has a 5A current rating, while HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 are rated for 6.5A. This means HARTING connectors can safely carry higher current loads. If your application requires currents above 5A, HARTING parts provide additional capacity. If your application operates at or below 5A, both options are suitable.
Q: Are there any temperature range limitations I should consider?
A: The FCC17C37PB2DB and all Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants operate from -40°C to 85°C. HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing extended low-temperature and high-temperature performance. For applications operating outside the -40°C to 85°C range, HARTING parts are required.
Q: What does "Backset Spacing" mean, and why is the 0.004" difference between FCC17C37PB2DB and HARTING parts significant?
A: Backset spacing is the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the contact termination points. The FCC17C37PB2DB specifies 0.405" (10.29mm), while HARTING parts specify 0.409" (10.40mm). This 0.004" difference is within standard connector manufacturing tolerances and does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit in standard applications. However, in space-constrained designs with tight mechanical tolerances, this difference should be verified against your PCB layout and enclosure design.
Q: Is the contact material difference (Phosphor Bronze versus Copper Alloy) significant?
A: Both Phosphor Bronze (FCC17C37PB2DB and FCE17 variants) and Copper Alloy (HARTING parts) are suitable contact materials for D-Sub connectors. Phosphor Bronze offers excellent spring properties and corrosion resistance. Copper Alloy also provides reliable electrical contact and mechanical performance. The difference does not affect electrical compatibility or performance in standard applications.
Q: What is the significance of the dielectric material difference?
A: The FCC17C37PB2DB uses Thermoplastic, Glass Filled dielectric material. HARTING parts use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Polyester, Glass Filled material. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and provide adequate electrical insulation. PBT offers slightly different mechanical and thermal properties but does not affect electrical compatibility or performance in standard applications.
Q: Can I mix and match connectors from different manufacturers in the same system?
A: Yes, provided all connectors meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications. You can use Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants and HARTING parts interchangeably in different assemblies within the same system, as they all maintain compatible pin counts, shell sizes, and electrical ratings. However, within a single mated pair, use matching connector types (plug to socket) from the same manufacturer series for optimal performance.
Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute part?
A: Current inventory levels are: FCC17C37PB2DB (732 pcs), FCE17C37PB2DB (973 pcs), FCE17C37PB20B (742 pcs), FCE17C37PB21B (781 pcs), FCE17C37PB24B (969 pcs), FCE17C37PB25B (692 pcs), FCE17C37PB28B (1039 pcs), FCE17C37PB29B (792 pcs), FCE17C37PB2EB (1152 pcs), 09654226800 (1047 pcs), and 09654227800 (822 pcs).
