Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FCC17C37PC490 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

Connector style (D-Sub)
Connector type (Plug, Male Pins)
Number of positions (37)
Number of rows (2)
Shell size and layout (4 / DC, C)
Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
Termination method (Solder)

Substitute Categories:

Category 1: Direct Series Upgrade (Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series) The FCE17C37PC490, FCE17C37PC400, FCE17C37PC410, FCE17C37PC440, FCE17C37PC450, FCE17C37PC480, FCE17C37PC4D0, and FCE17C37PC4E0 are active production alternatives from Amphenol ICC. These parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications to the FCC17C37PC490 while offering improved RoHS compliance (RoHS Compliant status) and enhanced dielectric material composition (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled). The FCE17 series represents a direct functional replacement with superior availability and regulatory compliance.

Category 2: Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives (HARTING) The HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors provide functional equivalence across core parameters including 37-position configuration, D-Sub style, right-angle through-hole mounting, and solder termination. These parts operate within the required temperature range and meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards. Differences in backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590"), contact material composition (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze), and current rating (6.5A vs. 5A) do not preclude substitution in applications where these variations are acceptable.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17C37PC490, FCE17C37PC400, FCE17C37PC410, FCE17C37PC440, FCE17C37PC450, FCE17C37PC480, FCE17C37PC4D0, and FCE17C37PC4E0 are the preferred substitutes for the obsolete FCC17C37PC490. These parts are manufactured by the same supplier (Amphenol ICC) and maintain complete mechanical and electrical compatibility. All FCE17 variants are in active production status with superior inventory availability. The FCE17 series offers RoHS Compliant certification, addressing regulatory requirements that the FCC17C37PC490 does not meet. The enhanced dielectric material composition (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled) provides improved mechanical and thermal performance compared to the base thermoplastic material of the original part.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800

The HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors provide functional equivalence for applications where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable. These parts maintain the critical 37-position D-Sub plug configuration with right-angle through-hole solder termination. Both HARTING alternatives are in active production and carry ROHS3 Compliant certification. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) exceeds the FCC17C37PC490 specification, providing enhanced thermal margin. The higher current rating (6.5A vs. 5A) offers additional electrical capacity. The reduced backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590") and different contact material composition (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze) require verification against specific board layout and application requirements before implementation.

Compliance Considerations

All substitute parts listed carry either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant certification. The FCC17C37PC490 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection of any substitute part addresses this regulatory gap. For applications subject to RoHS directives, the FCE17 series or HARTING alternatives are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PC490 directly replace the FCC17C37PC490 without design modification?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC490 maintains identical mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and connector interface specifications. The part is a direct functional replacement with no design changes required. The primary differences are improved RoHS compliance status and enhanced dielectric material composition.

Q: What is the significance of the different part number suffixes in the FCE17 series (PC400, PC410, PC440, PC450, PC480, PC4D0, PC4E0)?

A: The suffix designations indicate variations in connector configuration or feature options. All variants listed maintain the core 37-position D-Sub plug specification with right-angle through-hole solder termination and are electrically and mechanically equivalent for substitution purposes.

Q: Are the HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors fully compatible with the FCC17C37PC490?

A: These HARTING connectors provide functional equivalence across the primary connector parameters: 37-position D-Sub plug configuration, right-angle through-hole mounting, and solder termination. However, the reduced backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590") requires verification against printed circuit board layout. The different contact material (Copper Alloy vs. Phosphor Bronze) and higher current rating (6.5A vs. 5A) do not preclude substitution but should be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Q: What is the backset spacing parameter and why does it differ between substitute options?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting face to the rear of the connector body. This dimension is critical for printed circuit board layout and component clearance. The FCC17C37PC490 and all Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants specify 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing. The HARTING alternatives specify 0.409" (10.40mm). Board designs must accommodate the specific backset spacing of the selected connector. Substitution between different backset spacing values requires board redesign.

Q: Why do some substitute parts not specify a voltage rating?

A: The FCE17 series and HARTING alternatives do not include voltage rating specifications in the provided data. The FCC17C37PC490 specifies 200V. The absence of a specified voltage rating does not indicate inadequate voltage capability but rather reflects different manufacturer documentation practices. For applications requiring specific voltage ratings, contact the manufacturer for detailed electrical specifications.

Q: What does RoHS Compliant versus ROHS3 Compliant mean?

A: RoHS Compliant indicates conformance to the original Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. ROHS3 Compliant indicates conformance to the updated RoHS 3 directive (2011/65/EU as amended by 2015/863/EU), which includes additional restricted substances. Both certifications indicate compliance with hazardous substance restrictions. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard.

Q: Can the FCC17C37PC490 be used in new designs?

A: The FCC17C37PC490 is classified as obsolete. New designs should specify an active production alternative such as the FCE17 series or HARTING equivalents. Obsolete parts have limited availability and no manufacturer support for future production or technical updates.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness specification (15.0µin)?

A: Contact finish thickness specifies the gold plating depth on the connector contacts. The 15.0µin (0.38µm) specification ensures adequate contact durability and electrical performance. All Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants maintain this specification. The HARTING alternatives do not specify contact finish thickness, indicating either different contact material composition or manufacturer documentation differences.

Q: Are there any temperature-related considerations when substituting the FCC17C37PC490?

A: The FCC17C37PC490 operates within -40°C ~ 85°C. All Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants maintain this specification. The HARTING alternatives specify an extended range of -55°C ~ 125°C, providing enhanced thermal margin. For applications operating within the original -40°C ~ 85°C range, all substitutes are suitable. For applications requiring extended temperature operation, the HARTING alternatives offer additional thermal capability.

Q: What inventory status should be considered when selecting a substitute?

A: All substitute parts listed are in active production with current inventory availability. The FCE17C37PC4D0 shows the highest inventory level (1111 pcs), followed by FCE17C37PC490 (998 pcs). The HARTING 09654226800 shows 1047 pcs available. Inventory levels support immediate procurement for both primary and secondary substitute options.
