Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (FCE17C37PB40B, FCE17C37PB41B, FCE17C37PB44B, FCE17C37PB45B, FCE17C37PB48B, FCE17C37PB49B, FCE17C37PB4DB, FCE17C37PB4EB)

The FCE17 series represents the direct active-production equivalent to the obsolete FCC17C37PB40B. All FCE17 variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 37-position configuration, 5A current rating, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right-angle solder termination, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. All FCE17 variants are RoHS Compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the original FCC17C37PB40B does not meet. The FCE17 series is currently in active production with substantial inventory availability across all variants.

HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800

The HARTING D-Sub 37-position right-angle solder plug connectors (09654226800 and 09654227800) provide parametric equivalence with the following considerations:

Both maintain the critical 37-position, 2-row, shell size 4 (DC, C) configuration
Current rating of 6.5A exceeds the 5A requirement of the original part
Backset spacing of 0.409" (10.40mm) is within acceptable tolerance of the original 0.405" (10.29mm)
Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C encompasses the original -40°C to 85°C specification
Both are ROHS3 Compliant and currently in active production
Contact material is Copper Alloy rather than Phosphor Bronze; dielectric material is PBT/Polyester Glass Filled rather than Thermoplastic Glass Filled

The HARTING parts are suitable for applications where the enhanced current rating and extended temperature range provide operational margin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37PB40B directly replace FCC17C37PB40B in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PB40B maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the FCC17C37PB40B, including 37-position configuration, 5A current rating, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right-angle solder termination, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The primary difference is that FCE17C37PB40B is RoHS Compliant, whereas the original is not.

Q: What is the difference between the multiple FCE17 variants (PB40B, PB41B, PB44B, PB45B, PB48B, PB49B, PB4DB, PB4EB)?

A: All FCE17 variants listed share identical electrical and mechanical parameters. The suffix designations (40B, 41B, 44B, 45B, 48B, 49B, 4DB, 4EB) represent internal manufacturing or configuration variations that do not affect connector performance or compatibility. Selection among these variants can be based on inventory availability.

Q: Are HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 fully compatible with FCC17C37PB40B?

A: The HARTING connectors are parametrically equivalent with the following differences: current rating is 6.5A (versus 5A), backset spacing is 0.409" (versus 0.405"), operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C (versus -40°C to 85°C), contact material is Copper Alloy (versus Phosphor Bronze), and dielectric material is PBT/Polyester Glass Filled (versus Thermoplastic Glass Filled). These differences do not prevent functional substitution in applications where the original specifications are met or exceeded.

Q: What does RoHS Compliance mean for connector selection?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Compliance indicates that the component meets regulatory requirements restricting the use of specific hazardous materials including lead, cadmium, mercury, and certain flame retardants. The original FCC17C37PB40B is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts listed are RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant, making them suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a higher current rating than the original specification?

A: Yes. A substitute part with a current rating of 6.5A (such as the HARTING variants) can be used in applications designed for 5A operation. The higher rating provides operational margin and does not create compatibility issues. The circuit design and wire gauge remain unchanged.

Q: What is the significance of backset spacing tolerance (0.405" versus 0.409")?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting face to the contact plane. The 0.004" (0.11mm) difference between 0.405" and 0.409" is within standard manufacturing tolerances for D-Sub connectors and does not affect mating or functional performance. Both measurements are acceptable for through-hole solder applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The original FCC17C37PB40B packaging is not specified in the provided data. HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 are supplied in Bulk packaging. Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants packaging is not specified. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement department before finalizing part selection.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) and why is it important?

A: MSL indicates the component's sensitivity to moisture absorption during storage and handling. All parts listed have MSL 1 (Unlimited), meaning they have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture-controlled storage conditions. This simplifies inventory management and reduces handling complexity.
