Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCC17C37PC250 are classified into two primary categories based on electrical and mechanical compatibility:

Category 1: Direct Series Equivalents (Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series)

The FCE17C37PC250, FCE17C37PC200, FCE17C37PC210, FCE17C37PC240, FCE17C37PC280, FCE17C37PC290, FCE17C37PC2D0, and FCE17C37PC2E0 are functionally equivalent to the FCC17C37PC250. These parts share identical core specifications:

37-position D-Sub plug configuration with male pins
Two-row connector layout, shell size 4 (DC, C)
Through-hole, right-angle solder termination
5A current rating
Steel, tin-plated shell with gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts
UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Board lock, filter, and grounding indent features
0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing
-40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range
MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity

The primary distinction is product status: FCE17 series parts are active, whereas FCC17C37PC250 is obsolete. Additionally, FCE17 series parts are RoHS compliant, whereas FCC17C37PC250 is RoHS non-compliant.

Category 2: Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives (HARTING)

The HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors provide functional substitution with the following compatibility parameters:

37-position D-Sub plug configuration with male pins
Two-row connector layout, shell size 4 (DC, C)
Through-hole, right-angle solder termination
Signal contact type
UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Grounding indent features
Unthreaded housing/shell flange

These HARTING alternatives differ in the following parameters: higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A), reduced backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), stamped contact form (versus machined), copper alloy contact material (versus phosphor bronze), extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C), and ROHS3 compliance status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

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

The FCE17 series represents the primary substitution path for the obsolete FCC17C37PC250. These parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The FCE17 series is recommended for new designs and ongoing production support where regulatory compliance is required. All FCE17 variants share core specifications with the original part, differing only in internal configuration parameters not affecting external form, fit, or function.

HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800

The HARTING alternatives provide functional D-Sub 37-position plug connectors with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. These parts are suitable for applications where the following parameter variations are acceptable: increased current rating (6.5A), reduced backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and copper alloy contact material. The HARTING connectors feature stamped contact construction and do not include board lock or filter features present in the Amphenol ICC designs.

Selection between Amphenol ICC FCE17 and HARTING alternatives depends on specific application requirements regarding backset spacing, operating temperature range, and feature set. For direct form-fit-function replacement with identical feature sets, Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts are the appropriate selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PC250 directly replace the obsolete FCC17C37PC250?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC250 is a direct equivalent with identical connector configuration, pin count, mounting type, current rating, operating temperature range, and feature set. The primary differences are active product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17C37PC2XX variants?

A: All FCE17C37PC2XX variants (PC200, PC210, PC240, PC280, PC290, PC2D0, PC2E0) share identical external specifications and are functionally equivalent. Differences exist in internal configuration parameters not affecting connector performance or compatibility.

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

A: HARTING connectors provide functional substitution with the following considerations: backset spacing is reduced from 0.590" to 0.409", which may affect PCB layout compatibility. Operating temperature range is extended to -55°C ~ 125°C. Current rating is increased to 6.5A. Board lock and filter features are not present. These differences require design review before implementation.

Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for connector selection?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the connector meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations, restricting lead and other hazardous materials. The original FCC17C37PC250 is RoHS non-compliant. FCE17 series parts are RoHS compliant, and HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, compliant alternatives must be selected.

Q: Are the Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants interchangeable?

A: Yes. All FCE17C37PC2XX variants are interchangeable from a form-fit-function perspective. Selection among variants depends on specific application requirements and internal configuration needs not affecting external connector performance.

Q: What is backset spacing and why does it matter?

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the connector mounting face to the rear of the connector body. The FCC17C37PC250 and FCE17 series have 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing, while HARTING alternatives have 0.409" (10.40mm). This parameter affects PCB layout and mounting clearance requirements. Reduced backset spacing may allow closer component placement but requires verification of mechanical compatibility with existing designs.

Q: Can I use HARTING connectors in applications originally designed for Amphenol ICC parts?

A: HARTING connectors require design review before substitution. While both provide 37-position D-Sub plug functionality, differences in backset spacing, operating temperature range, contact material, and feature set must be evaluated against specific application requirements. PCB layout compatibility must be confirmed due to reduced backset spacing.

Q: What is the significance of contact material differences?

A: The FCC17C37PC250 and FCE17 series use phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating. HARTING alternatives use copper alloy contacts. Contact material affects electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and long-term reliability. Phosphor bronze with gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance and is preferred for applications requiring high reliability and extended service life.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging?

A: Packaging information is not specified for Amphenol ICC parts. HARTING parts are supplied in bulk packaging. Specific packaging requirements should be confirmed with suppliers based on application needs.
