Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS Compliance Requirements: The Amphenol ICC FCE17 series (FCE17C37PC45B, FCE17C37PC40B, FCE17C37PC41B, FCE17C37PC44B, FCE17C37PC48B, FCE17C37PC49B, FCE17C37PC4DB, FCE17C37PC4EB) provides direct substitution with RoHS compliance certification. These parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications to the FCC17C37PC45B while offering active product status and full RoHS compliance. Selection among FCE17 variants is determined by specific packaging and dielectric material requirements.

For Extended Temperature Range Applications: The HARTING parts 09654226800 and 09654227800 extend the operating temperature range to -55°C to 125°C, compared to the -40°C to 85°C range of the FCC17C37PC45B. These parts are suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance. However, these alternatives differ in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), contact material composition, and current rating (6.5A versus 5A).

For Direct Mechanical and Electrical Equivalence: FCE17C37PC45B provides the closest direct equivalent to FCC17C37PC45B, maintaining identical specifications while offering RoHS compliance and active production status.

For Legacy System Maintenance: The FCC17C37PC45B remains available in inventory (1107 pieces). Continued use of the original part number is appropriate for maintenance applications where component replacement in-kind is required and RoHS compliance is not mandated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37PC45B be used as a direct replacement for FCC17C37PC45B?

A: Yes. FCE17C37PC45B is a direct functional equivalent. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, shell material finish, contact finish, contact material, flange feature, and material flammability rating. The primary difference is that FCE17C37PC45B is RoHS compliant and maintains active product status, while FCC17C37PC45B is classified as obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

Q: What are the differences between the various FCE17C37 variants?

A: All FCE17C37 variants (PC40B, PC41B, PC44B, PC48B, PC49B, PC4DB, PC4EB) maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Differences are limited to packaging configuration and dielectric material composition. FCE17C37PC44B is packaged in a box, while others are unspecified. Dielectric materials vary between thermoplastic and thermoplastic with glass filling. Selection should be based on specific packaging and dielectric requirements for the application.

Q: Can HARTING parts 09654226800 or 09654227800 replace the FCC17C37PC45B?

A: HARTING parts provide functional equivalence as 37-position D-Sub right-angle solder plugs with identical connector style, type, position count, row configuration, shell size, mounting type, and termination. However, these parts differ in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), contact form (stamped versus machined), contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), and current rating (6.5A versus 5A). Physical board layout compatibility must be verified before substitution, particularly regarding backset spacing and mounting hole alignment.

Q: What is the significance of backset spacing differences?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting face to the rear of the connector body. The FCC17C37PC45B and all Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants specify 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing. HARTING parts specify 0.409" (10.40mm). This difference affects physical board layout and mounting hole positioning. Connectors with different backset spacing are not interchangeable on the same printed circuit board without design modification.

Q: Are all substitute parts UL94 V-0 rated?

A: Yes. The FCC17C37PC45B and all listed substitute parts (Amphenol ICC FCE17 series and HARTING parts) carry UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: RoHS compliance indicates conformance to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. ROHS3 represents the third iteration of this directive with updated substance restrictions. Both certifications indicate compliance with hazardous substance limitations. Amphenol ICC FCE17 parts carry RoHS compliance certification. HARTING parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification. Both are acceptable for applications requiring hazardous substance restriction compliance.

Q: Can the FCC17C37PC45B be used in new designs?

A: The FCC17C37PC45B is classified as obsolete. For new designs, Amphenol ICC FCE17 series equivalents are recommended to ensure long-term component availability and compliance with current regulatory standards including RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) significance?

A: All listed parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors do not require special moisture control during storage, handling, or assembly.
