FCC17C37PC2D0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCC17C37PC2D0 is a 37-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) with right-angle solder termination and through-hole mounting. This connector features a male pin configuration, signal contact type, and board lock functionality with integrated filter and grounding indents. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts maintain functional compatibility while offering improved product status and compliance certifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are classified into two categories based on substitution criteria:

Category 1: Direct Amphenol ICC Equivalents (Preferred) Parts FCE17C37PC2D0, FCE17C37PC200, FCE17C37PC210, FCE17C37PC240, FCE17C37PC250, FCE17C37PC280, FCE17C37PC290, and FCE17C37PC2E0 are functionally equivalent to the FCC17C37PC2D0. These parts share identical specifications across all critical parameters: 37-position configuration, 2-row layout, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right-angle solder termination, 5A current rating, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The primary distinction is product status: all Category 1 substitutes are active products with RoHS compliance, whereas the original part is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Category 2: Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives (HARTING) Parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 from HARTING provide functional substitution with notable parameter variations. These parts maintain the same connector style, type, position count, row configuration, shell size, mounting type, and termination method. However, they differ in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), current rating (6.5A versus 5A), contact form (stamped versus machined), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C). These differences require mechanical and thermal compatibility verification during design integration.

Key Parameters Determining Substitution:

Connector style, type, and position count (37-position D-Sub plug)
Shell size and layout (Size 4, DC, C configuration)
Mounting orientation (through-hole, right-angle)
Termination method (solder)
Flange feature (unthreaded housing/shell)
Contact type (signal)
Minimum current rating requirement (5A)
Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE Series (FCE17C37PC2D0 and variants)

The FCE17C37 series represents the direct active equivalent to the obsolete FCC17C37PC2D0. All eight variants within this series (FCE17C37PC2D0, FCE17C37PC200, FCE17C37PC210, FCE17C37PC240, FCE17C37PC250, FCE17C37PC280, FCE17C37PC290, FCE17C37PC2E0) maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. Selection among these variants should be based on specific application requirements and internal design documentation. These parts are manufactured by the same supplier as the original component, ensuring manufacturing consistency and supply chain continuity.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800

The HARTING alternatives provide functional D-Sub 37-position plug connectors with enhanced current rating (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C). These parts are suitable for applications requiring higher thermal or current performance margins. However, the reduced backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590") necessitates mechanical compatibility verification with existing PCB layouts and mating receptacles. HARTING parts carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting stringent environmental requirements.

Compliance Considerations

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification, ensuring compliance with fire safety standards. The transition from RoHS non-compliant to RoHS compliant alternatives aligns with regulatory requirements for new product designs and manufacturing in restricted substance directive jurisdictions. ROHS3 compliance of HARTING alternatives provides enhanced regulatory coverage for extended product lifecycles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37PC2D0 directly replace FCC17C37PC2D0 without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC2D0 maintains identical mechanical dimensions, mounting configuration, and electrical specifications. The backset spacing of 0.590" (14.99mm) and through-hole right-angle mounting are preserved. No PCB layout modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the eight FCE17C37 variants?

A: The eight variants (PC2D0, PC200, PC210, PC240, PC250, PC280, PC290, PC2E0) share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Differences exist in internal design parameters not specified in the provided data. Selection should reference application-specific requirements and design documentation.

Q: Are HARTING parts mechanically compatible with existing FCC17C37PC2D0 installations?

A: HARTING parts maintain the same connector style, position count, shell size, and mounting type. However, the backset spacing differs (0.409" for HARTING versus 0.590" for Amphenol). This dimensional difference requires verification against PCB hole patterns and mating receptacle specifications before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference between Amphenol (5A) and HARTING (6.5A) parts?

A: The higher HARTING current rating provides additional design margin for applications approaching the 5A limit. If the application requires only 5A or less, both options are functionally equivalent. The higher rating does not introduce incompatibility; it represents enhanced performance capability.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: All Amphenol FCE17C37 variants are RoHS compliant. HARTING parts carry ROHS3 compliance. The original FCC17C37PC2D0 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives, Amphenol or HARTING substitutes are required.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference, and does it affect substitution?

A: The original part operates from -40°C to 85°C. HARTING alternatives extend this to -55°C to 125°C. For applications within the -40°C to 85°C range, both options function identically. HARTING parts provide extended capability for extreme temperature environments.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for part selection?

A: Inventory levels vary across substitute options. FCE17C37PC240 has the highest inventory (1075 units), while FCE17C37PC280 has 716 units. HARTING 09654226800 has 1047 units. Inventory status should be confirmed at time of procurement for production planning.

Q: Can the machined contact form of Amphenol parts be substituted with the stamped contact form of HARTING parts?

A: Both contact forms are functionally equivalent for signal transmission in D-Sub applications. The machined form (Amphenol) and stamped form (HARTING) differ in manufacturing process but deliver equivalent electrical performance. Selection depends on application requirements and supplier preference.

Q: What certifications apply to all substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and EAR99 ECCN classification. HARTING parts additionally carry REACH unaffected status. Amphenol parts carry standard RoHS compliance; HARTING parts carry ROHS3 compliance.
