Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17C37PC400, FCE17C37PC410, FCE17C37PC440, FCE17C37PC450, FCE17C37PC480, FCE17C37PC490, FCE17C37PC4D0, and FCE17C37PC4E0 are the preferred substitutes for the obsolete FCC17C37PC400. These parts are manufactured by the same supplier and maintain complete electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering the following advantages:

Active product status with ongoing manufacturing support
RoHS compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements
Identical electrical specifications (5A current rating, 200V voltage rating)
Identical mechanical configuration (37-position, 2-row, shell size 4, right-angle solder termination)
Identical operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
Identical contact material (Phosphor Bronze) and finish specifications
Identical backset spacing (0.590" / 14.99mm)
Identical feature set (Board Lock, Filter, Grounding Indents)

The FCE17 series variants differ only in contact form and dielectric material specifications not provided in the original FCC17C37PC400 documentation. All FCE17 variants are electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the original part.

Alternative Recommendation: HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800

The HARTING connectors provide functional equivalence for applications requiring extended environmental performance. These parts are suitable when:

Operating temperature range must extend to -55°C or above 85°C
Higher current capacity (6.5A) is required
Alternative manufacturer sourcing is preferred

The HARTING parts differ in backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590"), which may require PCB layout verification. These connectors are ROHS3 compliant and active products.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PC400 directly replace the FCC17C37PC400 without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC400 maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications, including backset spacing (0.590" / 14.99mm), shell size (4 / DC, C), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and termination method (solder). No PCB layout changes are required.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17C37PC4XX variants?

A: All FCE17C37PC4XX variants (PC400, PC410, PC440, PC450, PC480, PC490, PC4D0, PC4E0) share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The suffix designations reflect internal contact form and dielectric material variations not specified in the original FCC17C37PC400 documentation. All variants are electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: Are the HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors pin-compatible with the FCC17C37PC400?

A: The HARTING connectors are functionally equivalent for 37-position D-Sub plug applications with identical pin count and layout. However, the backset spacing differs (0.409" vs. 0.590"), which affects PCB hole positioning. PCB layout verification is required before substitution.

Q: Why is the FCC17C37PC400 listed as obsolete?

A: The FCC17C37PC400 is superseded by the active FCE17 series from Amphenol ICC. The FCE17 series offers improved RoHS compliance and material specifications while maintaining full compatibility with the original design.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance for this connector?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the connector meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations, restricting lead, cadmium, mercury, and other hazardous materials. The FCE17 series RoHS compliance ensures compatibility with modern manufacturing and environmental standards, while the original FCC17C37PC400 is non-compliant.

Q: Can I use the HARTING connectors in applications originally designed for the FCC17C37PC400?

A: The HARTING connectors provide functional equivalence for 37-position D-Sub plug applications. However, the different backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590") requires PCB layout verification. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and higher current rating (6.5A) make HARTING connectors suitable for more demanding environments.

Q: What is backset spacing 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 FCC17C37PC400 and all FCE17 variants use 0.590" (14.99mm) spacing, while HARTING parts use 0.409" (10.40mm). This dimension determines PCB hole positioning and must match the original design for direct substitution.

Q: Are all FCE17C37PC4XX parts available in the same quantities?

A: Inventory levels vary by part number. FCE17C37PC4D0 has the highest inventory (1111 pcs), while FCE17C37PC410 has the lowest (858 pcs). All variants are active products with ongoing availability.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness specification and why is it important?

A: Contact finish thickness of 15.0µin (0.38µm) specifies the gold plating depth on the connector contacts. This thickness ensures reliable electrical contact and corrosion resistance. The FCC17C37PC400 and all FCE17 variants maintain identical contact finish specifications.
