Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series Substitutes: The FCE17C37PC44B, FCE17C37PC40B, FCE17C37PC41B, FCE17C37PC45B, FCE17C37PC48B, FCE17C37PC49B, FCE17C37PC4DB, and FCE17C37PC4EB represent parametric equivalents within the active FCE17 product line. These parts maintain all critical electrical and mechanical parameters of the FCC17C37PC44B while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The dielectric material differs (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled versus Thermoplastic), which does not affect functional compatibility for the specified application parameters.

HARTING Series Substitutes: The HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors provide functional equivalence with notable parameter variations. These parts maintain the 37-position D-Sub plug configuration with right-angle solder termination and board-side flange mounting. However, they differ in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), current rating (6.5A versus 5A), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C), contact form (Stamped versus Machined), and contact material (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze). These differences indicate application-specific suitability and require verification against circuit board layout and thermal requirements.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (FCE17C37PC44B, FCE17C37PC40B, FCE17C37PC41B, FCE17C37PC45B, FCE17C37PC48B, FCE17C37PC49B, FCE17C37PC4DB, FCE17C37PC4EB):

These connectors are the primary recommended substitutes for the obsolete FCC17C37PC44B. All FCE17 variants maintain complete electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original part, including identical connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, current rating, operating temperature range, flange mounting, and material flammability rating. The FCE17 series offers the critical advantage of active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. All FCE17 variants are RoHS compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for new equipment designs and manufacturing environments subject to RoHS directives. The glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material in the FCE17 series provides enhanced mechanical and thermal properties compared to the unfilled thermoplastic of the original part, resulting in improved reliability and durability in industrial applications.

HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800:

These connectors provide functional equivalence as 37-position D-Sub right-angle solder plugs with board-side flange mounting. However, critical parameter differences exist that require application-specific evaluation. The HARTING parts feature a reduced backset spacing of 0.409" compared to 0.590" in the FCC17C37PC44B, which directly affects circuit board layout compatibility and mounting hole positioning. The HARTING connectors support a higher current rating of 6.5A and an extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, providing enhanced performance margins for demanding thermal environments. Contact material differs (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze), and contact finish specifications are not provided. These parts are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications where the reduced backset spacing and extended temperature range provide functional advantages. Selection of HARTING substitutes requires verification that circuit board layouts accommodate the different backset spacing and that the copper alloy contact material meets application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PC44B directly replace the obsolete FCC17C37PC44B without circuit board modifications?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC44B maintains identical electrical and mechanical parameters with the FCC17C37PC44B, including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting type, current rating, operating temperature range, and flange mounting configuration. No circuit board layout modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17 part numbers (FCE17C37PC40B, FCE17C37PC41B, FCE17C37PC45B, FCE17C37PC48B, FCE17C37PC49B, FCE17C37PC4DB, FCE17C37PC4EB)?

A: All FCE17 variants listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 37-position D-Sub right-angle solder plug configuration. The differences in part numbers reflect variations in internal design or manufacturing specifications that do not affect functional compatibility. All variants are electrically and mechanically interchangeable for the specified application parameters.

Q: Are the HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors suitable replacements for the FCC17C37PC44B?

A: The HARTING connectors provide functional equivalence as 37-position D-Sub right-angle solder plugs. However, the reduced backset spacing of 0.409" versus 0.590" in the original part requires verification that existing circuit board layouts accommodate this dimensional difference. The HARTING parts offer higher current rating (6.5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), which may provide advantages in specific applications. Selection requires confirmation that the different backset spacing and contact material (Copper Alloy) meet application requirements.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance in selecting a substitute connector?

A: RoHS compliance indicates that the connector meets European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances directives, restricting the use of specific hazardous materials including lead, cadmium, and mercury. The original FCC17C37PC44B is RoHS non-compliant. All recommended Amphenol ICC FCE17 substitutes are RoHS compliant, and the HARTING alternatives are ROHS3 compliant. For new equipment designs or manufacturing in regulated environments, RoHS-compliant substitutes are required to meet regulatory and customer requirements.

Q: How does the dielectric material difference between the FCC17C37PC44B and FCE17 series affect connector performance?

A: The FCC17C37PC44B uses unfilled thermoplastic dielectric material, while the FCE17 series uses glass-filled thermoplastic. Glass-filled dielectric materials provide improved mechanical strength, enhanced thermal stability, and better dimensional stability under temperature cycling. These properties result in improved connector reliability and durability in industrial applications without affecting electrical performance for the specified voltage and current ratings.

Q: What is backset spacing and why does it matter for connector substitution?

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the rear face of the connector flange to the rear face of the connector body. The FCC17C37PC44B and all Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants specify 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing, while the HARTING connectors specify 0.409" (10.40mm). This dimension directly affects circuit board layout, mounting hole positioning, and connector seating depth. Substitution with connectors having different backset spacing requires verification that the circuit board design accommodates the dimensional change.

Q: Are all FCE17 variants available in the same packaging as the original FCC17C37PC44B?

A: The original FCC17C37PC44B packaging is not specified in the provided data. The FCE17C37PC44B is available in box packaging, while other FCE17 variants do not specify packaging information. The HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 are available in bulk packaging. Packaging specifications should be confirmed with the supplier based on specific procurement requirements.

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

A: Contact finish thickness is specified as 15.0µin (0.38µm) for both the FCC17C37PC44B and all Amphenol ICC FCE17 substitutes. This gold plating thickness ensures adequate contact durability, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity over the connector's operational life. The HARTING connectors do not specify contact finish thickness, which may indicate different contact finish specifications or materials.

Q: Can the FCC17C37PC44B be used in new equipment designs?

A: No. The FCC17C37PC44B is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinuation from active production. New equipment designs should specify active product alternatives such as the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series to ensure long-term availability, supply chain continuity, and compliance with current regulatory requirements including RoHS directives.
