Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (FCE17C37PC210, FCE17C37PC200, FCE17C37PC240, FCE17C37PC250, FCE17C37PC280, FCE17C37PC290, FCE17C37PC2D0, FCE17C37PC2E0)

The FCE17 series represents the direct active equivalent to the obsolete FCC17C37PC210. All FCE17 variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 37-position configuration, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right-angle mounting, 5A current rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The primary distinction is product status: all FCE17 parts are active and RoHS compliant, whereas the FCC17C37PC210 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The FCE17 series incorporates glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material compared to the standard thermoplastic in the original part. All FCE17 variants are suitable for direct substitution in new designs and legacy system replacements.

HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800

The HARTING alternatives (09654226800 and 09654227800) provide cross-manufacturer substitution with the following considerations: both maintain 37-position D-Sub plug configuration with right-angle solder termination and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Current rating is increased to 6.5A, providing enhanced capacity. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C to 125°C, exceeding the original specification. Backset spacing differs at 0.409" (10.40mm) compared to 0.590" (14.99mm) in the FCC17C37PC210, requiring mechanical verification for board layout compatibility. Contact material is copper alloy rather than phosphor bronze. Both HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant and active. These alternatives are suitable for applications where the extended temperature range and increased current capacity are beneficial and board layout accommodates the different backset spacing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37PC210 directly replace FCC17C37PC210 without design modification?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC210 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the FCC17C37PC210, including 37-position configuration, shell size 4 (DC, C), 5A current rating, -40°C to 85°C operating temperature, 0.590" backset spacing, and through-hole right-angle mounting. Direct substitution is supported without design changes.

Q: What is the difference between the multiple FCE17C37 variants (PC200, PC240, PC250, PC280, PC290, PC2D0, PC2E0)?

A: All FCE17C37 variants share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The alphanumeric suffix (PC200, PC240, etc.) indicates internal configuration or contact arrangement variations not detailed in the provided parameters. Selection among these variants depends on specific application requirements and internal pin configuration compatibility with the original design.

Q: Are the HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 direct replacements?

A: These HARTING connectors are functionally equivalent for 37-position D-Sub plug applications but require verification of two parameters: backset spacing differs at 0.409" (10.40mm) versus 0.590" (14.99mm) in the original part, necessitating board layout confirmation; contact material is copper alloy rather than phosphor bronze. Both parts are suitable for applications where these differences are acceptable and provide enhanced current capacity (6.5A) and extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance in selecting a substitute?

A: The FCC17C37PC210 is RoHS non-compliant, while all listed FCE17 variants and HARTING alternatives are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the compliant alternatives (FCE17 series or HARTING parts) are mandatory. For legacy systems without RoHS requirements, non-compliance is not a technical barrier.

Q: Can I use FCE17C37PC290 or FCE17C37PC2E0 in place of FCE17C37PC210?

A: Yes. All FCE17C37 variants maintain identical core electrical and mechanical parameters. The suffix designation indicates internal configuration differences. Substitution is supported provided the internal pin configuration of the selected variant matches the application requirements.

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

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: 37-position configuration with 2-row layout; shell size 4 (DC, C) D-Sub format; male pin connector type; solder termination; through-hole right-angle mounting; 0.590" backset spacing (for Amphenol ICC parts); 5A minimum current rating; -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range; steel shell with tin plating; gold contact finish; phosphor bronze contact material; and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Deviations from these parameters require application-specific engineering evaluation.

Q: Is the extended temperature range of HARTING connectors (-55°C to 125°C) a benefit or concern?

A: Extended temperature range is a technical enhancement that provides broader operational capability. For applications operating within the original specification range (-40°C to 85°C), the extended range presents no concern and offers additional design margin. For applications requiring operation outside the original range, HARTING alternatives provide expanded capability.

Q: What does "backset spacing" mean and why does it matter?

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the solder contact points on the printed circuit board. The FCC17C37PC210 specifies 0.590" (14.99mm), while HARTING alternatives specify 0.409" (10.40mm). This dimension is critical for board layout design. Substitution with different backset spacing requires verification that the printed circuit board layout accommodates the new spacing to ensure proper connector seating and solder joint formation.
