Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series)

The FCE17C37PB65B, FCE17C37PB60B, FCE17C37PB61B, FCE17C37PB64B, FCE17C37PB68B, FCE17C37PB69B, FCE17C37PB6DB, and FCE17C37PB6EB are direct functional equivalents manufactured by Amphenol ICC. All eight parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications to the FCC17C37PB65B, including 37 positions, 2 rows, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right angle mounting, 5A current rating, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The primary distinction is product status: all FCE17 variants are active products, whereas the FCC17C37PB65B is obsolete. Additionally, all FCE17 variants are RoHS Compliant, providing regulatory advantage over the RoHS non-compliant FCC17C37PB65B. These parts are recommended as the first choice for replacement applications.

Secondary Substitutes (HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800)

The HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 provide mechanical and electrical compatibility with the FCC17C37PB65B. Both maintain the 37 position, 2 row, shell size 4 (DC, C) configuration with through-hole right angle solder termination. The HARTING connectors feature a higher current rating of 6.5A compared to the 5A rating of the original part, providing additional electrical capacity. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C to 125°C, exceeding the original specification. Both HARTING parts are ROHS3 Compliant and active products. Minor differences include unthreaded housing/shell flange features (versus board side M3 on the original), stamped contact form (versus machined), and copper alloy contact material (versus phosphor bronze). These parts are suitable for applications where the extended temperature range and higher current capacity are beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PB65B directly replace the FCC17C37PB65B?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PB65B is a direct functional equivalent with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. Both connectors feature 37 positions, 2 rows, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right angle solder termination, 5A current rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The primary advantage of the FCE17C37PB65B is active product status and RoHS Compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the multiple FCE17 variants?

A: The FCE17C37PB60B, FCE17C37PB61B, FCE17C37PB64B, FCE17C37PB68B, FCE17C37PB69B, FCE17C37PB6DB, and FCE17C37PB6EB are all functionally equivalent to the FCE17C37PB65B and the original FCC17C37PB65B. All eight parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The alphanumeric suffix variations (60B, 61B, 64B, 68B, 69B, 6DB, 6EB) represent internal manufacturing or configuration codes that do not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Are the HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 compatible with the FCC17C37PB65B?

A: Yes, with minor considerations. Both HARTING connectors maintain mechanical and electrical compatibility through identical 37 position, 2 row, shell size 4 (DC, C) configuration and solder termination. The HARTING parts feature higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C). Flange design differs (unthreaded housing/shell versus board side M3), which may affect mounting considerations. Contact form is stamped rather than machined, and contact material is copper alloy rather than phosphor bronze. These differences do not prevent functional substitution in standard applications.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference between Amphenol and HARTING parts?

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the connector mounting face to the contact plane. The Amphenol parts specify 0.405" (10.29mm), while HARTING parts specify 0.409" (10.40mm). This 0.004" (0.11mm) difference is minimal and does not affect standard PCB mounting or mating connector alignment in typical applications. Both measurements fall within acceptable tolerance ranges for D-Sub connector standards.

Q: Why is RoHS Compliance important for this connector?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) Compliance indicates that the connector meets regulatory requirements restricting lead, cadmium, mercury, and other hazardous materials. The original FCC17C37PB65B is RoHS non-compliant, while all substitute parts (FCE17 series and HARTING parts) are RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant. For new designs and applications subject to environmental regulations, RoHS Compliant parts are required. For legacy system maintenance, non-compliant parts may be acceptable depending on application jurisdiction and customer requirements.

Q: Can I use these connectors in high-temperature applications?

A: The original FCC17C37PB65B and all Amphenol FCE17 variants are rated for -40°C to 85°C operating temperature. The HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 extend this range to -55°C to 125°C. For applications requiring operation above 85°C, the HARTING connectors are the appropriate choice. For applications below -40°C, the HARTING parts provide additional margin.

Q: What is the difference between machined and stamped contact forms?

A: Contact form refers to the manufacturing method for connector contacts. Machined contacts (used in Amphenol parts) are individually formed through precision machining, providing consistent geometry and tight tolerances. Stamped contacts (used in HARTING parts) are formed through stamping processes, offering cost efficiency while maintaining functional performance. Both forms meet electrical and mechanical requirements for D-Sub connectors. Selection depends on application requirements and cost considerations.

Q: Are all these connectors suitable for solder termination on PCBs?

A: Yes. All listed parts feature solder termination, suitable for through-hole PCB mounting. The right angle configuration positions the connector body parallel to the PCB surface, allowing horizontal cable connection. Solder termination provides permanent mechanical and electrical connection to PCB traces.
