Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series substitutes (FCE17C37PC640, FCE17C37PC600, FCE17C37PC610, FCE17C37PC650, FCE17C37PC680, FCE17C37PC690, FCE17C37PC6D0, FCE17C37PC6E0) maintain full parametric equivalence with the main part across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. These parts are active products with RoHS compliance, offering improved regulatory status compared to the obsolete FCC17C37PC640.

HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 provide functional D-Sub 37-position right-angle solder plug alternatives. These parts differ in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), contact material composition (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), and flange configuration (unthreaded versus M3 threaded). These differences require mechanical design verification for board layout compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (FCE17C37PC640, FCE17C37PC600, FCE17C37PC610, FCE17C37PC650, FCE17C37PC680, FCE17C37PC690, FCE17C37PC6D0, FCE17C37PC6E0):

These connectors are the primary substitutes for the obsolete FCC17C37PC640. All FCE17 variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 37-position configuration, 5A current rating, -40°C to 85°C operating range, and M3 threaded flange mounting. The FCE17 series offers active product status and RoHS compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the obsolete FCC17 series does not meet. The FCE17C37PC640 variant provides direct part-number correspondence. Alternative FCE17 part numbers (PC600, PC610, PC650, PC680, PC690, PC6D0, PC6E0) differ in contact finish specifications or dielectric material composition but maintain full parametric compatibility for standard applications.

HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800:

These connectors provide functional D-Sub 37-position right-angle solder alternatives with active product status and ROHS3 compliance. However, critical mechanical differences exist: backset spacing is 0.409" (10.40mm) compared to 0.590" (14.99mm) for the main part, and the flange feature is unthreaded rather than M3 threaded. These differences require verification of printed circuit board layout compatibility and mechanical mounting requirements. Contact material is copper alloy rather than phosphor bronze. Current rating is 6.5A, exceeding the 5A specification of the main part. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C to 125°C, providing broader environmental capability. Selection of HARTING alternatives is appropriate only when board layout accommodates the reduced backset spacing and unthreaded flange configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37PC640 directly replace FCC17C37PC640 without design changes?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC640 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 37-position configuration, 5A current rating, -40°C to 85°C operating temperature, 0.590" backset spacing, M3 threaded flange, and solder termination. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance (compliant versus non-compliant). No design modifications are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17C37PC6XX part numbers?

A: All FCE17C37PC6XX variants (PC600, PC610, PC650, PC680, PC690, PC6D0, PC6E0) maintain identical core electrical and mechanical specifications. Differences exist in contact finish specifications or dielectric material composition, which are not specified in the provided parameters. These variants are parametrically equivalent for standard signal applications and can be selected based on availability or specific application requirements.

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

A: HARTING connectors provide functional D-Sub 37-position alternatives but require design verification due to mechanical differences. Backset spacing differs (0.409" versus 0.590"), requiring confirmation that printed circuit board layout accommodates the reduced spacing. The flange feature is unthreaded rather than M3 threaded, affecting mechanical mounting. Contact material is copper alloy rather than phosphor bronze. These differences necessitate board layout and mechanical design review before implementation.

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

A: The FCC17C37PC640 is RoHS non-compliant, while all FCE17 variants and HARTING alternatives are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant. RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement in many markets and is often mandated in procurement specifications. Selection of RoHS-compliant alternatives (FCE17 series) addresses current regulatory requirements and reduces risk of supply chain restrictions.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Electrical performance is equivalent across all listed substitutes for the specified parameters: 5A current rating (HARTING provides 6.5A, exceeding requirements), 200V voltage rating (FCE17 variants do not specify voltage rating but maintain equivalent electrical characteristics), and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature (HARTING extends to -55°C to 125°C). Contact finish (gold, 15.0µin) and contact material (phosphor bronze for Amphenol, copper alloy for HARTING) are equivalent for signal applications.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to these substitutes?

A: Current inventory levels are: FCC17C37PC640 (1048 pcs), FCE17C37PC640 (740 pcs), FCE17C37PC600 (831 pcs), FCE17C37PC610 (960 pcs), FCE17C37PC650 (708 pcs), FCE17C37PC680 (1145 pcs), FCE17C37PC690 (887 pcs), FCE17C37PC6D0 (1001 pcs), FCE17C37PC6E0 (972 pcs), 09654226800 (1047 pcs), and 09654227800 (822 pcs). Adequate inventory exists across all alternatives. Selection based on availability and delivery requirements is appropriate.

Q: Is the M3 threaded flange feature critical for mechanical compatibility?

A: The M3 threaded flange is specified for the main part and all FCE17 variants. HARTING alternatives feature unthreaded flanges. If the design incorporates M3 threaded fastening for mechanical retention, HARTING alternatives require alternative mounting methods. Verification of mechanical mounting requirements is necessary before selecting HARTING substitutes.
