Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (FCE17C37PC60B, FCE17C37PC61B, FCE17C37PC64B, FCE17C37PC65B, FCE17C37PC68B, FCE17C37PC69B, FCE17C37PC6DB, FCE17C37PC6EB)

The FCE17 series represents the active production equivalent to the obsolete FCC17C37PC60B. All FCE17 variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the following distinctions:

Advantages:

Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity
RoHS Compliant certification meets current environmental regulations
Dielectric material upgraded to Thermoplastic Glass Filled for enhanced mechanical properties
Identical current rating (5A), voltage rating, operating temperature range, and connector geometry
Board-side M3 flange feature maintains mechanical compatibility with existing PCB designs

Compatibility: All FCE17C37PC6xB variants are direct functional equivalents. The suffix designation (60B, 61B, 64B, 65B, 68B, 69B, 6DB, 6EB) indicates internal contact configuration or plating variations that do not affect external mechanical or electrical performance for standard applications.

HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800

These HARTING D-Sub 37-position right-angle solder plugs provide functional equivalence with the following considerations:

Differences from FCC17C37PC60B:

Backset spacing: 0.409" (10.40mm) versus 0.590" (14.99mm) on the original part
Flange feature: Housing/Shell (Unthreaded) versus Board Side (M3)
Contact material: Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze
Contact form: Stamped versus Machined
Operating temperature range: -55°C to 125°C (extended lower and upper limits)
Current rating: 6.5A (higher than 5A specification)

Application Suitability: The HARTING connectors are suitable for applications where the different backset spacing and flange configuration are compatible with existing PCB layouts. The extended operating temperature range and higher current rating provide additional performance margin. ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status confirm regulatory alignment with current standards.

Mechanical Fit Verification: PCB mounting hole patterns and connector cavity dimensions must be verified before substitution, as the backset spacing and flange geometry differ from the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PC60B directly replace the FCC17C37PC60B without PCB modification?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC60B maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications including backset spacing (0.590"), flange feature (Board Side M3), connector geometry, and electrical ratings. No PCB redesign is required for this substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17C37PC6xB part numbers?

A: The suffix designation (60B, 61B, 64B, 65B, 68B, 69B, 6DB, 6EB) identifies internal contact configuration or plating specifications. All variants share identical external dimensions, electrical ratings, and mechanical interfaces. Selection among these variants depends on specific internal contact requirements for your application.

Q: Is the FCC17C37PC60B RoHS compliant?

A: No. The FCC17C37PC60B is RoHS non-compliant. All FCE17 series equivalents are RoHS Compliant, and HARTING alternatives are ROHS3 Compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the FCE17 series is the appropriate selection.

Q: Can HARTING 09654226800 or 09654227800 be used as direct replacements?

A: These HARTING connectors are functionally equivalent but have different mechanical specifications. The backset spacing is 0.409" (10.40mm) compared to 0.590" (14.99mm) on the original part, and the flange feature is Housing/Shell (Unthreaded) rather than Board Side (M3). PCB mounting hole patterns and connector cavity dimensions must be verified for compatibility before substitution.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for substitute parts?

A: Amphenol ICC FCE17 series maintains the original -40°C to 85°C range. HARTING alternatives extend this to -55°C to 125°C, providing a wider operating envelope suitable for more demanding thermal environments.

Q: Are all substitute parts rated for 5A current?

A: Amphenol ICC FCE17 series maintains the 5A rating. HARTING alternatives are rated for 6.5A, providing higher current capacity. For applications requiring exactly 5A operation, either rating is acceptable as the higher rating provides additional margin.

Q: What is the difference between machined and stamped contact forms?

A: The FCC17C37PC60B uses machined contacts (Phosphor Bronze), while some substitutes use stamped contacts (Copper Alloy). Both contact forms meet the electrical and mechanical requirements for this connector category. Machined contacts typically offer slightly higher reliability in high-cycle mating applications, while stamped contacts provide cost efficiency. For standard applications, both are functionally equivalent.

Q: Can I mix and match different FCE17C37PC6xB variants in the same assembly?

A: Yes. All FCE17C37PC6xB variants are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. The suffix designation indicates internal contact configuration only. Mixed usage within the same assembly does not create compatibility issues.

Q: What certifications should I verify for my specific application?

A: Verify RoHS compliance status (RoHS Compliant for FCE17 series, ROHS3 Compliant for HARTING), UL94 V-0 flammability rating, operating temperature range, and current rating against your application requirements. All listed substitutes meet UL94 V-0 and MSL 1 specifications.
