FCC17C37PC41B D-Sub 37-Position Right Angle Solder Plug Connector

Part Overview

The FCC17C37PC41B 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 part features a male pin configuration with a 2-row layout in shell size 4 (DC, C) and is designed for signal applications with board-side flange mounting.

Due to the obsolete status of the FCC17C37PC41B, equivalent and substitute parts from active product lines are necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure long-term component availability for new production runs and field replacements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17C37PC41B, FCE17C37PC40B, FCE17C37PC44B, FCE17C37PC45B, FCE17C37PC48B, FCE17C37PC49B, FCE17C37PC4DB, and FCE17C37PC4EB connectors are direct functional equivalents to the FCC17C37PC41B. All parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across the critical substitution parameters. The primary advantages of these parts are:

Active Product Status: All FCE17 series parts are in active production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
RoHS Compliance: These parts are RoHS Compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for new product designs and manufacturing in regions with RoHS mandates.
Identical Mechanical Interface: Backset spacing, flange configuration, and mounting type are identical, enabling direct board-level substitution without PCB redesign.
Equivalent Electrical Performance: Current rating, operating temperature range, and contact materials ensure equivalent electrical performance in circuit applications.

Among the FCE17 series options, FCE17C37PC44B offers the highest inventory availability (971 pieces) and is packaged in Box format, which may provide advantages for production logistics.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING D-Sub 37-Position Plugs

The HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 are functionally similar D-Sub 37-position plug connectors with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. These parts are suitable for applications where the following parameter differences are acceptable:

Reduced Backset Spacing: 0.409" (10.40mm) versus 0.590" (14.99mm) requires PCB layout modification and may affect connector clearance.
Enhanced Current Rating: 6.5A versus 5A provides additional current capacity for higher-power applications.
Extended Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C supports wider environmental operating conditions.
Stamped Contact Form: Stamped contacts versus machined contacts may affect contact resistance and durability characteristics.
Flange Configuration: Housing/Shell (Unthreaded) versus Board Side (4-40) requires different mounting hardware and PCB hole patterns.

HARTING parts are appropriate for new designs where the mechanical and electrical parameter differences align with application requirements, but are not recommended as direct drop-in replacements for existing FCC17C37PC41B installations due to backset spacing and flange feature incompatibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can the FCE17C37PC41B be used as a direct replacement for the FCC17C37PC41B in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC41B is a direct functional equivalent with identical backset spacing (0.590"), flange configuration (Board Side 4-40), current rating (5A), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). No PCB modifications are required. The primary differences are product status (Active vs. Obsolete) and RoHS compliance status (RoHS Compliant vs. RoHS non-compliant).

Q2: What is the difference between the various FCE17C37 part numbers (PC40B, PC41B, PC44B, PC45B, PC48B, PC49B, PC4DB, PC4EB)?

A: All FCE17C37 variants share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the core connector function. The suffix designations (PC40B through PC4EB) represent different packaging or configuration options within the same product family. All variants maintain the same 37-position, 2-row D-Sub plug configuration with right-angle solder termination and board-side flange mounting.

Q3: Are the HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 compatible with the FCC17C37PC41B?

A: The HARTING parts are functionally similar D-Sub 37-position plug connectors but are not direct drop-in replacements. Critical differences include backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590"), flange feature (Housing/Shell Unthreaded vs. Board Side 4-40), and contact form (Stamped vs. Machined). These differences require PCB redesign and are not suitable for existing FCC17C37PC41B installations. HARTING parts are appropriate for new designs where these parameter differences are acceptable.

Q4: What does RoHS Compliant status mean for the FCE17 series?

A: RoHS Compliant status indicates that the FCE17 series parts meet the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, which limits the use of specific hazardous materials including lead, cadmium, mercury, and certain brominated flame retardants. This compliance is required for products sold in the European Union and is increasingly required by manufacturers in other regions. The original FCC17C37PC41B is RoHS non-compliant, making the FCE17 series the appropriate choice for new designs subject to RoHS requirements.

Q5: What is the significance of the dielectric material difference between FCC17C37PC41B (Thermoplastic) and FCE17 series (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled)?

A: The glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material in the FCE17 series provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability compared to unfilled thermoplastic. This material enhancement does not affect electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. The glass-filled formulation is a material improvement that maintains all functional equivalence while providing superior durability.

Q6: Can I mix FCC17C37PC41B and FCE17C37PC41B connectors in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Both connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible and can be used interchangeably in the same assembly. However, for new production runs, standardizing on the FCE17 series is recommended to ensure consistent RoHS compliance and active product status across all units.

Q7: What inventory considerations should I account for when transitioning from FCC17C37PC41B to FCE17 series?

A: The FCC17C37PC41B has 882 pieces in stock (obsolete status). The FCE17 series variants have varying inventory levels: FCE17C37PC41B (823 pieces), FCE17C37PC40B (864 pieces), FCE17C37PC44B (971 pieces), FCE17C37PC45B (1027 pieces), FCE17C37PC48B (753 pieces), FCE17C37PC49B (718 pieces), FCE17C37PC4DB (980 pieces), and FCE17C37PC4EB (730 pieces). FCE17C37PC45B offers the highest inventory availability. For long-term supply security, the active status of all FCE17 variants ensures continued availability beyond current stock levels.

Q8: Are there voltage rating differences between the FCC17C37PC41B and FCE17 series?

A: The FCC17C37PC41B specifies a 200V voltage rating. The FCE17 series variants do not specify a voltage rating in the provided data. For applications requiring explicit voltage rating confirmation, contact the manufacturer to obtain voltage specifications for the FCE17 series. In typical D-Sub connector applications, voltage ratings are determined by contact spacing and dielectric material properties, which are equivalent between the two series.

Q9: What is the difference between Box and Bulk packaging for the FCE17 series?

A: FCE17C37PC44B is packaged in Box format, while other FCE17 variants are not specified with packaging type. Box packaging typically provides individual unit protection and is suitable for controlled production environments. Bulk packaging is suitable for high-volume manufacturing operations. Packaging selection should align with production workflow and inventory management requirements.

Q10: If I need extended operating temperature range, should I use the HARTING parts instead of the FCE17 series?

A: The HARTING parts (09654226800 and 09654227800) offer an extended operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C compared to the FCE17 series range of -40°C ~ 85°C. However, HARTING parts require PCB redesign due to different backset spacing and flange configuration. If extended temperature range is required, evaluate whether the FCC17C37PC41B or FCE17 series temperature range is sufficient for your application before considering HARTING alternatives. If extended temperature is necessary, HARTING parts are appropriate for new designs where mechanical parameter differences can be accommodated.
