FCC17C37PC21B D-Sub 37-Position Right Angle Solder Plug Connector

Part Overview

The FCC17C37PC21B is a 37-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) with right-angle through-hole solder termination. This connector is classified as obsolete, indicating that direct replacements or parametric equivalents are necessary for new designs and ongoing production requirements. The FCC17 series connector features a male pin configuration with a 2-row layout in shell size 4 (DC, C) and is designed for signal applications with a 5A current rating and 200V voltage rating.

The obsolete status of the FCC17C37PC21B necessitates identification of active substitute parts that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility while meeting current manufacturing and compliance standards.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17C37PC21B, FCE17C37PC20B, FCE17C37PC24B, FCE17C37PC25B, FCE17C37PC28B, FCE17C37PC29B, FCE17C37PC2DB, and FCE17C37PC2EB represent the direct series upgrade from the obsolete FCC17C37PC21B. All FCE17 variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 37-position configuration, 5A current rating, -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. These parts are manufactured by the same supplier (Amphenol ICC) and feature active product status with RoHS compliance, making them suitable for new designs and production environments with RoHS requirements.

The FCE17 series variants differ in dielectric material composition and contact form specifications not provided in the main part parameters. Selection among FCE17 variants should be based on specific application requirements and design documentation.

Secondary Substitutes: HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800

The HARTING D-Sub 37-position plug connectors (09654226800 and 09654227800) provide functional equivalence with identical connector geometry and pin configuration. These parts offer enhanced electrical performance with 6.5A current rating and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). HARTING parts feature ROHS3 compliance and are suitable for applications requiring higher current capacity or broader temperature operation. However, these parts differ in backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590") and contact material (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze), requiring mechanical and electrical validation before substitution in existing designs.

Compliance Considerations

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the FCE17 series substitutes are recommended as they maintain Amphenol ICC manufacturing standards while meeting RoHS requirements. HARTING parts provide ROHS3 compliance for applications with enhanced environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PC21B directly replace the obsolete FCC17C37PC21B?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC21B maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters including 37-position configuration, 5A current rating, -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature, and identical shell size (4, DC, C). Both parts feature solder termination, right-angle mounting, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The primary difference is product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance (compliant vs. non-compliant).

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17 variants (PC20B, PC24B, PC25B, PC28B, PC29B, PC2DB, PC2EB)?

A: All FCE17 variants share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for connector type, position count, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature, and mounting configuration. Variants differ in dielectric material composition and contact form specifications. Selection among variants depends on specific application requirements and design documentation.

Q: Can HARTING 09654226800 or 09654227800 be used as substitutes?

A: HARTING parts provide functional equivalence with the same 37-position, 2-row D-Sub plug configuration and right-angle solder mounting. However, these parts differ in backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590") and contact material (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze). Mechanical and electrical validation is required before substitution in existing designs. HARTING parts offer higher current rating (6.5A) and extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), making them suitable for enhanced performance applications.

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

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by connector type (Plug, Male Pins), number of positions (37), number of rows (2), shell size (4, DC, C), mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle), termination method (Solder), current rating (5A or higher), and operating temperature range (must encompass -40°C ~ 85°C). Additional considerations include shell material finish, contact material, and flammability rating.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences between substitute options?

A: Yes. The FCC17C37PC21B is RoHS non-compliant. All FCE17 series substitutes are RoHS compliant. HARTING parts (09654226800, 09654227800) are ROHS3 compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, FCE17 or HARTING substitutes are appropriate selections.

Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?

A: FCE17C37PC21B: 794 pcs; FCE17C37PC20B: 877 pcs; FCE17C37PC24B: 1072 pcs; FCE17C37PC25B: 819 pcs; FCE17C37PC28B: 718 pcs; FCE17C37PC29B: 912 pcs; FCE17C37PC2DB: 1014 pcs; FCE17C37PC2EB: 627 pcs; HARTING 09654226800: 1047 pcs; HARTING 09654227800: 822 pcs. All substitute parts are available as new original stock.

Q: How do operating temperature ranges compare between substitutes?

A: The FCC17C37PC21B and all FCE17 variants operate within -40°C ~ 85°C. HARTING parts (09654226800, 09654227800) operate within an extended range of -55°C ~ 125°C. For applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 85°C, HARTING substitutes provide enhanced temperature capability.
