Engineering Selection Recommendations

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

The FCE17 series represents the active product line replacement for the obsolete FCC17C37PB490. All FCE17 variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the following advantages:

Active product status ensures ongoing manufacturing support and availability
RoHS Compliant certification meets current regulatory requirements
Enhanced dielectric material composition (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled) provides improved mechanical and thermal stability
Identical current rating (5A), voltage rating, operating temperature range, and connector geometry
Identical contact material (Phosphor Bronze) and finish specifications (Gold, 15.0µin)
All feature sets preserved: Board Lock, Filter, Grounding Indents

Selection among FCE17 variants (PB490, PB400, PB410, PB440, PB450, PB480, PB4D0, PB4E0) is determined by specific application requirements not detailed in the provided parameters. These part numbers represent different configuration options within the same series.

HARTING 37-Position D-Sub Plugs (09654226800, 09654227800)

HARTING connectors provide functional D-Sub 37-position plug alternatives with the following characteristics:

Active product status with ROHS3 compliance
Identical connector geometry, pin count, and mounting configuration
Higher current rating (6.5A vs. 5A) provides additional capacity margin
Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. -40°C to 85°C) supports broader environmental applications
Copper Alloy contact material (vs. Phosphor Bronze) with unspecified finish
Unthreaded flange feature (vs. 4-40 threaded) requires mechanical design review
Reduced feature set (Grounding Indents only; no Board Lock or Filter)
Backset spacing tolerance (0.409" vs. 0.405") requires PCB layout verification

HARTING substitutes are suitable for applications where the extended temperature range and higher current capacity offset the mechanical and feature differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can FCE17C37PB490 directly replace FCC17C37PB490 without PCB modification?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PB490 maintains identical electrical and mechanical parameters with the FCC17C37PB490, including connector geometry, pin count, mounting type, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, backset spacing, flange feature (4-40 threaded), and all feature sets (Board Lock, Filter, Grounding Indents). No PCB layout changes are required.

Q2: What is the difference between the multiple FCE17 part numbers (PB490, PB400, PB410, PB440, PB450, PB480, PB4D0, PB4E0)?

A: All FCE17 variants share identical electrical and mechanical specifications as documented in the parameter comparison table. The suffix variations (PB490, PB400, etc.) represent different configuration options within the FCE17 series. Specific application requirements determine which variant is appropriate. Consult Amphenol ICC technical documentation for configuration details.

Q3: Are HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 direct replacements for FCC17C37PB490?

A: HARTING connectors satisfy core D-Sub 37-position plug requirements but include design trade-offs. The unthreaded flange feature (vs. 4-40 threaded) requires mechanical design review. The backset spacing tolerance (0.409" vs. 0.405") may require PCB layout verification. The reduced feature set (Grounding Indents only) eliminates Board Lock and Filter functionality. The higher current rating (6.5A) and extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) provide additional performance margins. These connectors are suitable for applications where mechanical differences are acceptable.

Q4: What is the impact of RoHS compliance on connector selection?

A: The FCC17C37PB490 is RoHS non-compliant. All FCE17 variants and HARTING connectors are RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant. For new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations, FCE17 or HARTING alternatives are required. Existing legacy systems using FCC17C37PB490 may continue operation without regulatory impact.

Q5: How do dielectric material differences affect connector performance?

A: The FCC17C37PB490 uses Thermoplastic dielectric material. FCE17 variants use Thermoplastic, Glass Filled composition, which provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability. HARTING connectors use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), Polyester, Glass Filled material. All materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Glass-filled variants offer improved dimensional stability and creep resistance under sustained load and elevated temperature conditions.

Q6: What is the significance of contact material differences (Phosphor Bronze vs. Copper Alloy)?

A: FCC17C37PB490 and all FCE17 variants use Phosphor Bronze contacts with Gold finish (15.0µin). HARTING connectors use Copper Alloy contacts with unspecified finish. Phosphor Bronze provides superior spring characteristics and contact reliability. Contact finish specifications ensure consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance. HARTING contact material and finish specifications require verification against application requirements.

Q7: Can HARTING connectors be used in applications requiring Board Lock and Filter features?

A: No. HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 include only Grounding Indents. Board Lock and Filter features are not present. Applications requiring these specific features must use FCC17C37PB490 or FCE17 series connectors. Verify application requirements before selecting HARTING alternatives.

Q8: What inventory considerations apply to connector selection?

A: FCC17C37PB490 has 1149 pieces in stock but is obsolete. FCE17 variants have active status with varying inventory levels: FCE17C37PB490 (915 pcs), FCE17C37PB400 (1123 pcs), FCE17C37PB410 (909 pcs), FCE17C37PB440 (966 pcs), FCE17C37PB450 (822 pcs), FCE17C37PB480 (886 pcs), FCE17C37PB4D0 (943 pcs), FCE17C37PB4E0 (719 pcs). HARTING alternatives: 09654226800 (1047 pcs), 09654227800 (822 pcs). For long-term supply assurance, active FCE17 or HARTING parts are recommended over obsolete FCC17C37PB490.
