FCC17C37PC40B D-Sub 37-Position Right Angle Solder Plug Connector

Part Overview

The FCC17C37PC40B 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 active production. The FCC17 series connector features a male pin configuration with a 2-row layout in shell size 4 (DC, C) and is designed for signal applications requiring 5A current capacity at 200V operating voltage.

Due to the obsolete product status of the FCC17C37PC40B, identification of equivalent and substitute parts from active production lines is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new builds, repairs, and field replacements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17C37PC40B, FCE17C37PC41B, FCE17C37PC44B, FCE17C37PC45B, FCE17C37PC48B, FCE17C37PC49B, FCE17C37PC4DB, and FCE17C37PC4EB connectors are the preferred substitutes for the obsolete FCC17C37PC40B. These parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering the following advantages:

Active production status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity
RoHS compliance satisfies current regulatory requirements
Identical connector geometry, pin configuration, and mounting interface
Equivalent current rating (5A) and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
UL94 V-0 flammability rating maintained
Glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material provides enhanced mechanical properties compared to standard thermoplastic

The FCE17 series represents the direct successor platform to the FCC17 series and is the recommended path for new designs and component replacement programs.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800

The HARTING alternatives (09654226800 and 09654227800) provide functional equivalence for applications where the following parameter variations are acceptable:

Backset spacing difference (0.409" vs. 0.590") requires PCB layout verification
Stamped contact form versus machined contacts may affect contact resistance characteristics
Higher current rating (6.5A vs. 5A) provides additional margin for current-carrying capacity
Extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) supports broader environmental applications
ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status

These parts are suitable for applications where PCB mounting geometry can accommodate the reduced backset spacing and where the alternative contact form is compatible with mating connector specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can the FCE17C37PC40B directly replace the FCC17C37PC40B without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC40B maintains identical mechanical specifications including backset spacing (0.590"), flange feature (Board Side 4-40), shell size (4 DC, C), and mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle). No PCB layout modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q2: What is the primary difference between the FCC17 and FCE17 series?

A: The FCE17 series is the active production successor to the obsolete FCC17 series. The FCE17 offers RoHS compliance, glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material, and active manufacturing status. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain equivalent.

Q3: Are all FCE17C37PC variants (PC40B, PC41B, PC44B, PC45B, PC48B, PC49B, PC4DB, PC4EB) electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All FCE17C37PC variants maintain identical electrical specifications including 37-position configuration, 5A current rating, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range. Variants differ in packaging and internal design features not affecting electrical performance.

Q4: Can HARTING 09654226800 or 09654227800 be used as direct replacements?

A: Functional substitution is possible with design verification. The HARTING parts differ in backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590"), requiring PCB layout confirmation. Contact form differences (stamped vs. machined) and flange feature differences (Housing/Shell Unthreaded vs. Board Side 4-40) must be evaluated against mating connector specifications and mounting requirements.

Q5: What compliance certifications apply to each substitute option?

A: Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts are RoHS Compliant. HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. The original FCC17C37PC40B is RoHS non-compliant. Selection should align with applicable regulatory requirements for the target application.

Q6: How does the glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric in FCE17 series compare to standard thermoplastic in FCC17?

A: Glass-filled thermoplastic provides enhanced mechanical strength, improved dimensional stability, and better thermal performance compared to standard thermoplastic. This material upgrade in the FCE17 series supports improved reliability and consistency in manufacturing.

Q7: What is the significance of the different packaging options (Box vs. Bulk)?

A: Packaging designation indicates the form in which components are supplied. FCE17C37PC44B is supplied in Box packaging, while other FCE17 variants and HARTING parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection affects inventory management and handling procedures but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q8: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between substitute parts?

A: Current inventory levels are: FCC17C37PC40B (1172 pcs), FCE17C37PC40B (864 pcs), FCE17C37PC41B (823 pcs), FCE17C37PC44B (971 pcs), FCE17C37PC45B (1027 pcs), FCE17C37PC48B (753 pcs), FCE17C37PC49B (718 pcs), FCE17C37PC4DB (980 pcs), FCE17C37PC4EB (730 pcs), 09654226800 (1047 pcs), and 09654227800 (822 pcs). Inventory levels should be confirmed at time of procurement.

Q9: What is the contact finish thickness specification and its importance?

A: The FCC17C37PC40B and all FCE17 variants specify 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold contact finish thickness. This specification ensures adequate contact resistance characteristics and corrosion protection. HARTING parts do not specify contact finish thickness, requiring verification against application requirements.

Q10: How do the voltage ratings compare across substitute options?

A: The FCC17C37PC40B specifies 200V voltage rating. FCE17 series parts and HARTING alternatives do not specify voltage rating in the provided data. For applications requiring explicit voltage rating specification, the FCC17C37PC40B or FCE17C37PC40B should be selected based on the 200V specification.
