Substitute Part Grouping Explanation
Substitution of the FCC17C37PC2EB is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (D-Sub plug with male pins), number of positions (37), number of rows (2), shell size and layout (4, DC, C), mounting type (through hole right angle), termination method (solder), current rating (5A), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C), shell material finish (steel tin plated), contact finish (gold), contact material (phosphor bronze), backset spacing (0.590" / 14.99mm), flange feature (unthreaded housing/shell), and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0).
Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:
Category 1: Amphenol ICC Active Series Equivalents (FCE17 Series) These parts maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the original FCC17C37PC2EB while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The FCE17C37PC2EB, FCE17C37PC20B, FCE17C37PC21B, FCE17C37PC24B, FCE17C37PC25B, FCE17C37PC28B, FCE17C37PC29B, and FCE17C37PC2DB represent direct parametric equivalents with identical connector specifications. These parts differ only in dielectric material composition (thermoplastic with glass fill versus standard thermoplastic) and regulatory compliance status.
Category 2: HARTING Cross-Manufacturer Equivalents The HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 provide functional equivalence with variations in backset spacing (0.409" / 10.40mm versus 0.590" / 14.99mm), current rating (6.5A versus 5A), contact form (stamped versus machined), dielectric material composition, contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C). These parts maintain the core D-Sub 37 position plug configuration with right angle solder termination.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series
For applications requiring direct parametric equivalence with the obsolete FCC17C37PC2EB, the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series connectors (FCE17C37PC2EB, FCE17C37PC20B, FCE17C37PC21B, FCE17C37PC24B, FCE17C37PC25B, FCE17C37PC28B, FCE17C37PC29B, and FCE17C37PC2DB) are the preferred substitutes. These parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 37 positions, 2-row configuration, shell size 4 (DC, C), 5A current rating, -40°C to 85°C operating temperature, and 0.590" backset spacing. All FCE17 variants are active products with RoHS compliance, addressing the regulatory limitations of the obsolete FCC17C37PC2EB. The FCE17 series offers superior product lifecycle support and availability compared to the discontinued FCC17 series.
Secondary Recommendation: HARTING Cross-Manufacturer Equivalents
The HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 provide functional D-Sub 37 position plug connectors with right angle solder termination and active product status. These connectors are suitable for applications where the specified parameter variations are acceptable. The HARTING parts offer extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), higher current rating (6.5A), and ROHS3 compliance. However, these parts differ in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), and contact finish specifications. Selection of HARTING equivalents requires confirmation that the mechanical and electrical parameter differences do not conflict with application requirements.
Regulatory Compliance Consideration
The original FCC17C37PC2EB is RoHS non-compliant. All recommended substitutes from the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series and HARTING are RoHS or ROHS3 compliant, supporting compliance with current regulatory requirements for new designs and production.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the FCE17C37PC2EB directly replace the FCC17C37PC2EB in existing designs?
A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC2EB maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the FCC17C37PC2EB, including 37 positions, 2-row configuration, shell size 4 (DC, C), 5A current rating, -40°C to 85°C operating temperature, 0.590" backset spacing, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The primary differences are product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance (compliant versus non-compliant). Physical and electrical compatibility is maintained.
Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17C37 part numbers (PC2EB, PC20B, PC21B, PC24B, PC25B, PC28B, PC29B, PC2DB)?
A: All FCE17C37 variants maintain identical connector specifications and electrical ratings. The suffix designations (PC2EB, PC20B, PC21B, etc.) indicate variations in dielectric material composition and internal construction details. All variants are functionally equivalent for the specified 37 position D-Sub plug connector application with right angle solder termination. Selection among these variants depends on specific application requirements and internal design specifications not detailed in the provided parameters.
Q: Are the HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 fully compatible with the FCC17C37PC2EB?
A: The HARTING parts provide functional equivalence as 37 position D-Sub plug connectors with right angle solder termination. However, these parts differ in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), current rating (6.5A versus 5A), contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C). These differences may affect mechanical fit and electrical performance in specific applications. Confirmation of compatibility with application requirements is necessary before substitution.
Q: What is backset spacing and why does it matter for D-Sub connector substitution?
A: Backset spacing is the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the solder contact points. The FCC17C37PC2EB specifies 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing, while the HARTING equivalents specify 0.409" (10.40mm). This parameter directly affects the physical fit of the connector on printed circuit boards and in connector receptacles. Mismatched backset spacing can result in improper seating, mechanical stress, or electrical discontinuity. Backset spacing must match the application design requirements.
Q: Why is the FCC17C37PC2EB classified as obsolete?
A: The FCC17C37PC2EB is classified as obsolete, indicating that the manufacturer has discontinued production and support for this part number. The Amphenol ICC FCE17 series represents the active product line replacement. Obsolete status affects long-term availability, technical support, and regulatory compliance. Transition to active product equivalents is recommended for new designs and ongoing production to ensure supply chain continuity and compliance with current standards.
Q: Does RoHS compliance affect the electrical performance of the connector?
A: RoHS compliance addresses the material composition of the connector, specifically the elimination of hazardous substances such as lead, cadmium, and mercury. The electrical performance characteristics (current rating, voltage rating, contact resistance) remain equivalent between RoHS-compliant and non-compliant versions. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and environmental requirement rather than a functional performance specification. All recommended substitutes maintain the electrical specifications of the original FCC17C37PC2EB.
Q: Can I use an FCE17C37 connector in place of the FCC17C37PC2EB if my application operates at temperatures below -40°C or above 85°C?
A: No. The FCE17C37 series maintains the same operating temperature range as the FCC17C37PC2EB (-40°C to 85°C). If your application requires operation outside this range, the HARTING parts 09654226800 or 09654227800 offer extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). However, this substitution introduces other parameter variations (backset spacing, current rating, contact material) that must be evaluated for application compatibility.
Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness specification (15.0µin / 0.38µm)?
A: Contact finish thickness specifies the gold plating depth on the connector contacts. The 15.0µin (0.38µm) specification on the FCC17C37PC2EB and all Amphenol ICC FCE17 equivalents ensures consistent electrical contact resistance and corrosion resistance. This specification is maintained across all recommended Amphenol ICC substitutes. The HARTING parts do not specify contact finish thickness, indicating a potential difference in contact durability and electrical performance characteristics.
Q: Are there any inventory considerations when selecting between substitute parts?
A: Yes. Inventory levels vary among substitute options. The FCE17C37PC24B offers the highest inventory (1,072 pcs), while the FCE17C37PC2EB offers 627 pcs. The HARTING 09654226800 offers 1,047 pcs. Inventory availability may influence selection timing and supply chain planning, particularly for high-volume production requirements. Current inventory levels should be confirmed with the component supplier for accurate lead time and availability assessment.
