FCC17C37PB6DB D-Sub 37-Position Right Angle Solder Plug Connector

Part Overview

The FCC17C37PB6DB is a 37-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) with right-angle through-hole solder termination. This connector features a male pin configuration with a 2-row layout in shell size 4 (DC, C) and is designed for signal applications in industrial and commercial equipment.

The FCC17C37PB6DB is classified as obsolete. Identification of equivalent and substitute D-Sub 37-position plug connectors is necessary to support ongoing maintenance, repair, and production requirements for legacy systems utilizing this connector type. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original design specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (FCE17C37PB6DB, FCE17C37PB60B, FCE17C37PB61B, FCE17C37PB64B, FCE17C37PB65B, FCE17C37PB68B, FCE17C37PB69B, FCE17C37PB6EB)

The Amphenol ICC FCE17 series represents the primary substitute option for the obsolete FCC17C37PB6DB. All eight variants maintain complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part, including identical current rating (5A), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C), shell material finish (steel, tin plated), contact finish (gold), and contact material (phosphor bronze). The FCE17 series is classified as active product status with RoHS Compliant certification, providing long-term availability and regulatory compliance for new designs and legacy system support. The FCE17C37PB6EB variant offers the highest inventory availability at 1085 pieces.

HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800

The HARTING alternatives provide functional equivalence with the following considerations: both parts maintain the 37-position D-Sub plug configuration with right-angle solder termination and identical shell size (4, DC, C). The HARTING parts feature a higher current rating (6.5A) compared to the original 5A specification, providing additional current capacity. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C ~ 125°C, exceeding the original -40°C ~ 85°C specification. Contact finish is not specified for HARTING parts, and contact material is listed as copper alloy rather than phosphor bronze. Backset spacing is 0.409" (10.40mm) compared to 0.405" (10.29mm) for the original part, representing a 0.004" (0.11mm) variation. Flange feature differs, with HARTING providing housing/shell (unthreaded) configuration versus the board side (M3) mounting of the original. Both HARTING parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

For applications requiring strict dimensional and material equivalence, the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series is the recommended substitution path. For applications where extended temperature range and higher current capacity are beneficial, HARTING alternatives provide functional compatibility with noted dimensional and material variations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PB6DB directly replace the obsolete FCC17C37PB6DB?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PB6DB maintains complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the FCC17C37PB6DB. All critical parameters including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, current rating, operating temperature range, shell material finish, contact finish, and contact material are identical. The FCE17C37PB6DB is active product status with RoHS Compliant certification.

Q: What is the difference between the multiple FCE17 variants (FCE17C37PB60B, FCE17C37PB61B, FCE17C37PB64B, FCE17C37PB65B, FCE17C37PB68B, FCE17C37PB69B, FCE17C37PB6EB)?

A: All FCE17 variants listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 37-position D-Sub plug connector. The part number suffix variations (60B, 61B, 64B, 65B, 68B, 69B, 6EB) indicate internal configuration or manufacturing differences not detailed in the provided specifications. All variants are functionally equivalent for the core connector application.

Q: Can HARTING parts 09654226800 or 09654227800 be used as direct replacements?

A: HARTING parts provide functional equivalence with noted variations. Backset spacing differs by 0.004" (0.11mm), flange mounting configuration differs (housing/shell unthreaded versus board side M3), and contact material is copper alloy rather than phosphor bronze. Contact finish is not specified for HARTING parts. These differences may affect mechanical fit and electrical performance in applications with tight tolerance requirements. HARTING parts offer higher current rating (6.5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C).

Q: What is the significance of RoHS Compliance status?

A: The original FCC17C37PB6DB is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts from Amphenol ICC FCE17 series are RoHS Compliant, and HARTING parts are ROHS3 Compliant. RoHS compliance indicates the connector meets restrictions on hazardous substances (lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers). For new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations, compliant substitutes are required.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: Yes. Inventory availability varies across substitute options. The FCE17C37PB6EB variant offers the highest inventory at 1085 pieces. Other FCE17 variants range from 725 to 906 pieces. HARTING 09654226800 provides 1047 pieces, and 09654227800 provides 822 pieces. For applications requiring immediate availability, FCE17C37PB6EB or HARTING 09654226800 are preferred options.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by the following parameters: connector type (plug, male pins), position count (37), row configuration (2), shell size and layout (4, DC, C), mounting type (through hole, right angle), termination method (solder), current rating (5A for Amphenol, 6.5A for HARTING), operating temperature range, shell material and finish, contact finish, contact material, backset spacing, flange feature, material flammability rating, dielectric material, and moisture sensitivity level. Variations in any of these parameters may affect mechanical fit, electrical performance, or regulatory compliance.

Q: Is the 0.004" (0.11mm) backset spacing difference between Amphenol and HARTING parts significant?

A: The backset spacing difference (0.405" for Amphenol versus 0.409" for HARTING) represents a 0.004" (0.11mm) variation. This difference may affect mechanical fit in applications with tight tolerance requirements or specific PCB layout constraints. Applications with standard tolerance specifications typically accommodate this variation. Verification of mechanical fit is recommended for applications with critical spacing requirements.

Q: What is the difference between board side (M3) and housing/shell (unthreaded) flange features?

A: Board side (M3) flange features on Amphenol parts provide M3 threaded mounting holes for mechanical attachment to the PCB or housing. Housing/shell (unthreaded) flange features on HARTING parts provide unthreaded mounting surfaces. This difference affects mechanical mounting configuration and may require different fastening methods or bracket designs. Applications designed for M3 threaded mounting require verification of compatibility with unthreaded housing configurations.

Q: Are phosphor bronze and copper alloy contact materials functionally equivalent?

A: Phosphor bronze and copper alloy are both conductive materials suitable for connector contacts. Phosphor bronze provides specific mechanical and electrical properties specified in the original FCC17C37PB6DB design. Copper alloy used in HARTING parts provides alternative material properties. For applications requiring exact material specification compliance, phosphor bronze contacts (Amphenol FCE17 series) are recommended. For general signal applications, copper alloy contacts (HARTING) provide functional equivalence.
