Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (FCE17C37PB480, FCE17C37PB400, FCE17C37PB410, FCE17C37PB440, FCE17C37PB450, FCE17C37PB490, FCE17C37PB4D0, FCE17C37PB4E0)

These parts are the primary recommended substitutes for the obsolete FCC17C37PB480. All FCE17 variants maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The upgraded dielectric material composition (Thermoplastic with Glass Filled) provides enhanced mechanical properties. Selection among the eight FCE17 variants is determined by specific application requirements not differentiated in the provided parameters. All FCE17 parts are available in quantities exceeding 700 units.

HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800

These cross-manufacturer alternatives provide functional equivalence with the following distinctions: enhanced operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C), increased current rating (6.5A versus 5A), and unthreaded flange design. Contact material is Copper Alloy rather than Phosphor Bronze. Backset spacing is 0.409" (10.40mm), representing a 0.004" (0.11mm) dimensional increase. These parts carry ROHS3 compliance and active product status. Selection of HARTING alternatives is appropriate when extended temperature performance or higher current capacity is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PB480 directly replace the obsolete FCC17C37PB480 without design modification?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PB480 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and flange design. The primary differences are RoHS compliance status and dielectric material composition upgrade to glass-filled thermoplastic.

Q: What is the significance of the different FCE17 part number suffixes (PB400, PB410, PB440, PB450, PB490, PB4D0, PB4E0)?

A: The provided parameters do not differentiate the functional or electrical characteristics among these eight FCE17 variants. All maintain identical specifications for connector configuration, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature, and material properties. Part number suffix variations reflect manufacturing or configuration options not specified in the available data.

Q: Are the HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 suitable for all applications using the FCC17C37PB480?

A: HARTING parts are functionally equivalent for applications within the specified operating parameters. However, the unthreaded flange design differs from the 4-40 threaded flange of the original part. Backset spacing is 0.409" (10.40mm) compared to 0.405" (10.29mm). These dimensional differences require mechanical design verification. HARTING parts are appropriate for applications requiring extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) or higher current capacity (6.5A).

Q: What is the impact of the dielectric material change from Thermoplastic to Thermoplastic with Glass Filled in the FCE17 series?

A: Glass-filled thermoplastic provides enhanced mechanical strength and dimensional stability compared to unfilled thermoplastic. This upgrade improves connector robustness without affecting electrical performance or compatibility with mating components.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in equivalent quantities?

A: Inventory levels vary. The FCE17C37PB4E0 has the lowest inventory at 719 units, while FCE17C37PB400 has the highest at 1123 units. HARTING 09654226800 has 1047 units available. All parts are available in quantities suitable for production requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each substitute option?

A: All FCE17 series parts are RoHS Compliant. HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 are ROHS3 Compliant. All parts carry UL94 V-0 material flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification. The original FCC17C37PB480 is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Can the FCE17 series parts be used in new designs requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. All FCE17 variants are RoHS Compliant and carry active product status, making them suitable for new designs and ongoing production. The obsolete FCC17C37PB480 is not suitable for RoHS-regulated applications.

Q: What is the contact finish difference between Amphenol ICC and HARTING alternatives?

A: Amphenol ICC parts (FCC17 and FCE17 series) specify gold contact finish with 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness. HARTING parts do not specify contact finish in the provided parameters. Contact material differs: Amphenol uses Phosphor Bronze while HARTING uses Copper Alloy.
