Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series: The FCE17C37PC680, FCE17C37PC600, FCE17C37PC610, FCE17C37PC640, FCE17C37PC650, FCE17C37PC690, FCE17C37PC6D0, and FCE17C37PC6E0 are direct parametric equivalents from the same manufacturer. These parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The dielectric material differs (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled versus Thermoplastic), representing an enhanced formulation within the same functional category.

HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800: These connectors share the core D-Sub 37-position plug configuration with right-angle solder termination. However, they exhibit differences in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), contact form (Stamped versus Machined), contact material (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze), current rating (6.5A versus 5A), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C), and flange feature (Unthreaded versus M3). These differences indicate functional compatibility for applications requiring higher current capacity and extended temperature range, but physical layout differences necessitate board-level design verification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17C37PC680, FCE17C37PC600, FCE17C37PC610, FCE17C37PC640, FCE17C37PC650, FCE17C37PC690, FCE17C37PC6D0, and FCE17C37PC6E0 connectors are the preferred substitutes for the obsolete FCC17C37PC680. These parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 37-position configuration, 5A current rating, -40°C to 85°C operating temperature, M3 threaded flange, and all functional features (Board Lock, Filter, Grounding Indents). The primary advantage is active product status with RoHS compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs. The dielectric material enhancement (glass-filled thermoplastic) provides improved mechanical and thermal properties while maintaining functional equivalence. All FCE17 variants are manufactured by the same supplier, ensuring consistent quality and supply chain reliability.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800

The HARTING connectors (09654226800 and 09654227800) are functionally compatible alternatives for applications requiring extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and higher current capacity (6.5A). These parts maintain the core D-Sub 37-position plug configuration with right-angle solder termination and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. However, physical differences exist: backset spacing is 0.409" (10.40mm) versus 0.590" (14.99mm), flange feature is unthreaded versus M3 threaded, and contact material is copper alloy versus phosphor bronze. These differences require board-level design verification to confirm mechanical fit and electrical performance compatibility. HARTING parts offer ROHS3 compliance and active product status.

Compliance Considerations

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series and HARTING connectors are suitable replacements for the non-compliant FCC17C37PC680. The FCE17 series maintains the closest electrical and mechanical alignment with the original part, minimizing design modification requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PC680 directly replace the FCC17C37PC680 without board modifications?

A: The FCE17C37PC680 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, current rating, operating temperature range, backset spacing, and flange feature (M3 threaded). Direct substitution is supported without board-level modifications.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17 part numbers (PC600, PC610, PC640, PC650, PC690, PC6D0, PC6E0)?

A: The FCE17 variants differ in the final suffix characters of the part number, which typically indicate internal contact or shell configuration variations not specified in the provided parameters. All variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications for the 37-position D-Sub plug configuration. Consult detailed datasheets or contact the manufacturer for specific internal configuration differences.

Q: Are the HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors pin-compatible with the FCC17C37PC680?

A: Both HARTING connectors maintain the 37-position D-Sub plug configuration with male pins. However, the backset spacing differs (0.409" versus 0.590"), which affects the physical distance from the connector mounting surface to the contact plane. This difference requires board-level design verification to confirm mechanical fit and proper mating with corresponding receptacle connectors.

Q: What does backset spacing mean, and why is it important for substitution?

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the connector's mounting flange to the rear of the contact pins. The FCC17C37PC680 has 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing, while HARTING alternatives have 0.409" (10.40mm). This dimension affects the physical clearance available behind the connector on the printed circuit board and must align with the corresponding receptacle connector's front-to-contact distance for proper mating. Mismatched backset spacing can result in incomplete mating or contact misalignment.

Q: Why is the FCC17C37PC680 classified as obsolete?

A: The FCC17C37PC680 is classified as obsolete, indicating that Amphenol ICC has discontinued active production and support for this part. The FCE17 series represents the current active product line offering equivalent functionality with enhanced materials and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there any RoHS compliance differences between the substitute options?

A: The FCC17C37PC680 is RoHS non-compliant. The Amphenol ICC FCE17 series is RoHS compliant, and the HARTING connectors are ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the FCE17 or HARTING alternatives are required.

Q: Can the HARTING connectors handle higher current than the original part?

A: Yes, the HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors have a 6.5A current rating compared to the 5A rating of the FCC17C37PC680. This higher current capacity makes them suitable for applications requiring increased power delivery. However, the backset spacing and flange feature differences require board-level design verification.

Q: What is the significance of the M3 threaded flange feature?

A: The M3 threaded flange feature on the FCC17C37PC680 and FCE17 series allows the connector to be secured to the printed circuit board using M3 screws or fasteners. The HARTING connectors feature an unthreaded flange, which may use alternative mounting methods. This difference affects mechanical assembly procedures and must be considered during design transition.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: The Amphenol ICC FCE17 series and FCC17C37PC680 do not specify packaging details in the provided parameters. The HARTING connectors are available in bulk packaging. Contact the respective manufacturers for specific packaging options and quantities.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness specification, and why does it matter?

A: Contact finish thickness of 15.0µin (0.38µm) specifies the gold plating depth on the connector contacts. This thickness ensures adequate corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity over the connector's operational life. The FCC17C37PC680 and all FCE17 variants maintain this specification. HARTING contact finish specifications are not provided in the available data.
