Substitute Categories:

Category 1: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Active, RoHS Compliant) The FCE17C37PC440, FCE17C37PC400, FCE17C37PC410, FCE17C37PC450, FCE17C37PC480, FCE17C37PC490, FCE17C37PC4D0, and FCE17C37PC4E0 are direct parametric equivalents from Amphenol ICC's active product line. These parts maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering RoHS compliance and active product status. The primary difference is the dielectric material composition (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled versus Thermoplastic), which does not affect functional compatibility.

Category 2: HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 (Active, ROHS3 Compliant) The HARTING connectors are functionally similar D-Sub 37-position plugs with right-angle solder termination. These parts differ in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), flange feature design (Unthreaded versus 4-40 threaded), contact form (Stamped versus Machined), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). These differences indicate application-specific variations and require design verification before substitution.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17C37PC440, FCE17C37PC400, FCE17C37PC410, FCE17C37PC450, FCE17C37PC480, FCE17C37PC490, FCE17C37PC4D0, and FCE17C37PC4E0 are the preferred substitutes for the obsolete FCC17C37PC440. These parts are manufactured by the same supplier (Amphenol ICC), maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, and are classified as active products with RoHS compliance. The transition from the FCC17 series to the FCE17 series represents a product line evolution with enhanced environmental compliance. All FCE17 variants meet the mandatory parameters for direct substitution and are suitable for new designs and production continuity.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800

The HARTING connectors (09654226800 and 09654227800) are functionally similar D-Sub 37-position plugs with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. However, these parts exhibit design variations that require engineering evaluation:

Backset spacing differs (0.409" versus 0.590"), affecting PCB layout compatibility
Flange design is unthreaded versus 4-40 threaded, impacting mechanical mounting
Contact form is stamped versus machined, affecting contact reliability characteristics
Operating temperature range is extended (-55°C ~ 125°C), providing broader environmental capability
Current rating is higher (6.5A versus 5A), offering increased capacity

These HARTING connectors are suitable for applications where the design variations are compatible with existing PCB layouts and mechanical assemblies. Electrical performance is maintained across all critical parameters.

Compliance Considerations

The FCC17C37PC440 is RoHS non-compliant. All recommended substitutes (FCE17 series and HARTING parts) are RoHS or ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for new product designs and manufacturing in regulated markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PC440 directly replace the FCC17C37PC440 without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC440 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including mounting type, pin configuration, current rating, voltage rating, and flange design (4-40 threaded). No PCB layout modifications are required for direct substitution.

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

A: The FCE17C37PC440, FCE17C37PC400, FCE17C37PC410, FCE17C37PC450, FCE17C37PC480, FCE17C37PC490, FCE17C37PC4D0, and FCE17C37PC4E0 are parametrically equivalent parts that differ in internal design specifications not detailed in the provided parameters. All variants meet the same electrical and mechanical requirements and are interchangeable for the FCC17C37PC440 application.

Q: Are the HARTING connectors (09654226800 and 09654227800) direct replacements?

A: The HARTING connectors are functionally similar but not direct replacements. Key differences include backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), flange design (unthreaded versus 4-40 threaded), and contact form (stamped versus machined). These differences may affect PCB layout compatibility and mechanical mounting. Design verification is required before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the dielectric material change from Thermoplastic to Thermoplastic, Glass Filled?

A: The dielectric material composition in the FCE17 series (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled) provides enhanced mechanical and thermal properties compared to the FCC17 series (Thermoplastic). This change does not affect electrical performance or functional compatibility and represents an improvement in material specification.

Q: Why is the FCC17C37PC440 classified as obsolete?

A: The FCC17C37PC440 is obsolete due to product line evolution and the introduction of the active FCE17 series. Amphenol ICC has transitioned to the FCE17 series, which offers improved compliance (RoHS compliant) and active product support. The obsolete status indicates that the FCC17 series is no longer manufactured or supported by the supplier.

Q: What is the RoHS compliance requirement, and why does it matter?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance restricts the use of specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. The FCC17C37PC440 is RoHS non-compliant, while all recommended substitutes are RoHS or ROHS3 compliant. For new designs and manufacturing in regulated markets (EU, China, and others), RoHS compliance is mandatory. Substitution to compliant parts ensures regulatory adherence.

Q: Can the HARTING connectors be used in applications requiring the 4-40 threaded flange?

A: No. The HARTING connectors feature an unthreaded flange design, which is incompatible with applications requiring 4-40 threaded mounting. The FCC17C37PC440 and all FCE17 variants feature 4-40 threaded flanges. If threaded flange mounting is required, only the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series is suitable.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range between the FCC17C37PC440 and HARTING connectors?

A: The FCC17C37PC440 operates from -40°C to 85°C, while the HARTING connectors (09654226800 and 09654227800) operate from -55°C to 125°C. The HARTING connectors provide an extended temperature range, making them suitable for applications requiring operation in extreme thermal environments. The FCE17 series maintains the same -40°C to 85°C range as the original FCC17C37PC440.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: Yes. Inventory levels vary across substitute parts. The FCE17C37PC490 and FCE17C37PC4D0 have the highest inventory (998 and 1111 units respectively), while the FCE17C37PC480 has lower inventory (691 units). HARTING parts also have substantial inventory (1047 and 822 units). Inventory availability should be considered for production planning and lead time management.
