FCC17C37PC28B D-Sub 37-Position Right Angle Solder Plug Connector
Part Overview
The FCC17C37PC28B 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 discontinuation from the manufacturer. The 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.
Due to the obsolete product status, equivalent and substitute D-Sub 37-position connectors are necessary to maintain design compatibility and ensure continued component availability for production, repair, and field replacement applications. Substitute parts must maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original design specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitute D-Sub 37-position connectors are grouped based on strict adherence to the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:
Primary Compatibility Parameters:
- Connector Type: Plug, Male Pins
- Number of Positions: 37
- Number of Rows: 2
- Shell Size, Connector Layout: 4 (DC, C)
- Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
- Termination: Solder
- Current Rating: 5A minimum
- Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 85°C minimum
- Backset Spacing: 0.590" (14.99mm)
- Flange Feature: Housing/Shell (Unthreaded)
- Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
Substitutes are divided into two categories:
Category 1: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Active Status) These connectors maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications to the FCC17C37PC28B with the exception of RoHS compliance status. The FCE17 series represents the active production equivalent with RoHS Compliant certification, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs while maintaining full form, fit, and function compatibility.
Category 2: HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 (Active Status) These connectors provide D-Sub 37-position plug configurations with right-angle solder termination. While maintaining the core 37-position, 2-row, shell size 4 configuration, these parts exhibit variations in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), contact material composition, and operating temperature range, requiring engineering evaluation for specific application requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series
The FCE17C37PC28B, FCE17C37PC20B, FCE17C37PC21B, FCE17C37PC24B, FCE17C37PC25B, FCE17C37PC29B, FCE17C37PC2DB, and FCE17C37PC2EB connectors are direct functional equivalents to the obsolete FCC17C37PC28B. All FCE17 series parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications including 37-position configuration, 2-row layout, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right-angle solder termination, 5A current rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range.
The primary distinction is RoHS Compliance status. The FCE17 series is RoHS Compliant, addressing regulatory requirements for new product designs and manufacturing in regions with RoHS directives. For applications requiring RoHS non-compliant components, the FCC17C37PC28B remains available in existing inventory (719 pieces). For new designs and ongoing production requiring regulatory compliance, FCE17 series substitution is appropriate.
Secondary Recommendation: HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800
The HARTING connectors provide D-Sub 37-position plug configurations with active product status and ROHS3 Compliance. These connectors maintain the core 37-position, 2-row, shell size 4 configuration with through-hole right-angle solder termination. However, the following parameter differences require engineering evaluation:
- Backset Spacing: 0.409" (10.40mm) versus 0.590" (14.99mm) on the original part
- Contact Material: Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze
- Operating Temperature Range: -55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C
- Current Rating: 6.5A versus 5A
These differences indicate the HARTING connectors are suitable for applications with different mechanical mounting requirements and extended temperature operating ranges. Backset spacing variation requires PCB layout verification before substitution.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can FCE17C37PC28B be used as a direct replacement for FCC17C37PC28B?
A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC28B maintains identical form, fit, and function to the FCC17C37PC28B. Both connectors feature 37-position male pin plugs with 2-row configuration, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right-angle solder termination, 5A current rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The primary difference is RoHS Compliance status, with FCE17C37PC28B being RoHS Compliant.
Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17 part numbers (PC20B, PC21B, PC24B, PC25B, PC29B, PC2DB, PC2EB)?
A: All FCE17 variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The alphanumeric suffix designates internal manufacturing or configuration variations not reflected in the provided technical parameters. All variants are functionally equivalent for D-Sub 37-position plug applications with the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics.
Q: Can HARTING 09654226800 or 09654227800 be used instead of FCC17C37PC28B?
A: HARTING connectors provide 37-position D-Sub plug functionality with active product status. However, backset spacing differs (0.409" versus 0.590"), requiring PCB layout verification. Contact material composition and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) differ from the original specification. These connectors are suitable for applications with different mechanical mounting requirements and extended temperature environments.
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 pin termination points. The FCC17C37PC28B specifies 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing. HARTING connectors specify 0.409" (10.40mm). This dimension directly affects PCB layout and mounting hole positioning. Substitution with different backset spacing requires PCB design modification.
Q: Are all substitute connectors RoHS Compliant?
A: The Amphenol ICC FCE17 series (FCE17C37PC28B, PC20B, PC21B, PC24B, PC25B, PC29B, PC2DB, PC2EB) are RoHS Compliant. The HARTING connectors (09654226800, 09654227800) are ROHS3 Compliant. The original FCC17C37PC28B is RoHS non-compliant. RoHS compliance status affects suitability for new product designs and manufacturing in regulated markets.
Q: What is the current rating difference between FCC17C37PC28B and HARTING connectors?
A: The FCC17C37PC28B and all Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants are rated for 5A continuous current. HARTING connectors (09654226800, 09654227800) are rated for 6.5A. The higher HARTING rating provides additional current capacity for applications requiring increased power delivery through the connector.
Q: Can I use a substitute connector with a different operating temperature range?
A: The FCC17C37PC28B and Amphenol ICC FCE17 series operate from -40°C to 85°C. HARTING connectors operate from -55°C to 125°C. Substitution with extended temperature range connectors is suitable for applications operating within the original -40°C to 85°C specification. Applications requiring extended temperature operation beyond the original specification require design validation.
Q: What is the inventory status of substitute parts?
A: Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts are in active production with inventory ranging from 627 to 1,072 pieces across variants. HARTING connectors are in active production with inventory of 1,047 pieces (09654226800) and 822 pieces (09654227800). The original FCC17C37PC28B has 719 pieces in stock but is classified as obsolete.
