Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (FCE17C37PB680, FCE17C37PB600, FCE17C37PB610, FCE17C37PB640, FCE17C37PB650, FCE17C37PB690, FCE17C37PB6D0, FCE17C37PB6E0)

These parts are recommended as primary substitutes for the obsolete FCC17C37PB680. All FCE17 series connectors are active products with RoHS compliance, providing regulatory alignment for new designs and procurement. The FCE17 series maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications to the original part, including 37 position configuration, right angle through-hole mounting, 5A current rating, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The dielectric material composition differs (thermoplastic with glass fill versus standard thermoplastic), but this change does not affect functional equivalence. All FCE17 variants are in active production with substantial inventory availability.

HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800

These parts serve as alternative cross-manufacturer substitutes. Both HARTING connectors meet all primary equivalence criteria and carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The HARTING parts feature an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) compared to the original specification (-40°C ~ 85°C), providing enhanced thermal performance for demanding applications. Current rating is specified at 6.5A, exceeding the 5A requirement. Backset spacing is 0.409" (10.40mm), representing a 0.01" (0.11mm) variation from the original 0.405" (10.29mm) specification. Contact material is copper alloy rather than phosphor bronze. These parts are suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable and extended temperature performance is beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37PB680 directly replace FCC17C37PB680 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PB680 is mechanically and electrically equivalent to the FCC17C37PB680. Both connectors share identical 37 position configuration, right angle through-hole mounting, 5A current rating, 200V voltage capability, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance (compliant versus non-compliant). No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17C37PB6XX variants?

A: The FCE17C37PB680, FCE17C37PB600, FCE17C37PB610, FCE17C37PB640, FCE17C37PB650, FCE17C37PB690, FCE17C37PB6D0, and FCE17C37PB6E0 are all mechanically and electrically equivalent. The suffix variations (680, 600, 610, 640, 650, 690, 6D0, 6E0) represent internal Amphenol ICC coding for different manufacturing configurations or options. All variants meet the same functional specifications and are interchangeable for the FCC17C37PB680 application.

Q: Are HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 fully compatible with FCC17C37PB680?

A: These HARTING connectors are functionally equivalent with minor parameter variations. Mechanical compatibility is confirmed across all critical dimensions including shell size, position count, and mounting type. The 0.01" (0.11mm) backset spacing variation is within typical manufacturing tolerances for D-Sub connectors. The higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C) represent performance enhancements. Contact material differs (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), but both materials meet signal application requirements. These parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable.

Q: Why does the original FCC17C37PB680 show RoHS non-compliance?

A: The FCC17C37PB680 is classified as obsolete and predates current RoHS compliance requirements. The part was manufactured under earlier regulatory standards. All recommended substitute parts (FCE17 series and HARTING variants) carry current RoHS or ROHS3 compliance certifications, ensuring alignment with modern procurement and environmental regulations.

Q: What is the significance of the dielectric material change in FCE17 series parts?

A: The FCE17 series uses thermoplastic with glass fill, compared to standard thermoplastic in the original FCC17C37PB680. This material enhancement improves mechanical strength and thermal stability without affecting electrical performance or functional compatibility. The change represents a manufacturing improvement in the active product line.

Q: Can I use HARTING parts if I need extended temperature operation?

A: Yes. HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 are rated for -55°C ~ 125°C operation, compared to -40°C ~ 85°C for the original FCC17C37PB680 and FCE17 series. If your application requires operation beyond the original temperature specification, HARTING variants provide this capability while maintaining all other functional equivalence criteria.

Q: Are there any inventory considerations for selecting a substitute?

A: Current inventory levels are available for all recommended substitutes. FCE17C37PB650 and FCE17C37PB690 show the highest inventory (1114 and 1120 units respectively), while HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 also maintain substantial stock (1047 and 822 units respectively). Procurement decisions can be based on design requirements and compliance needs rather than availability constraints.
