Engineering Selection Recommendations
Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series
The FCE17C37PC68B, FCE17C37PC60B, FCE17C37PC61B, FCE17C37PC64B, FCE17C37PC65B, FCE17C37PC69B, FCE17C37PC6DB, and FCE17C37PC6EB connectors are direct functional equivalents to the obsolete FCC17C37PC68B. All FCE17 series variants maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications including 37-position configuration, 2-row layout, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right-angle solder termination, 5A current rating, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range.
The primary distinction between the FCC17 and FCE17 series is product status and regulatory compliance. The FCE17 series is active and RoHS compliant, addressing the obsolescence of the FCC17C37PC68B and meeting modern regulatory requirements. The FCE17 variants differ only in dielectric material composition (glass-filled thermoplastic vs. standard thermoplastic) and contact form specifications, which do not affect functional compatibility in applications designed for the original FCC17C37PC68B.
Secondary Recommendation: HARTING D-Sub Connectors
The HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors provide functional substitution with extended operating temperature capability (-55°C to 125°C) and higher current rating (6.5A). These connectors maintain the same 37-position, 2-row, shell size 4 (DC, C) configuration with through-hole right-angle solder termination and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The HARTING variants are ROHS3 compliant and feature copper alloy contacts with stamped contact form.
The HARTING connectors differ in backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590"), flange feature type (Housing/Shell Unthreaded vs. Board Side M3), and contact material composition. These differences may require PCB layout verification before implementation. The extended operating temperature range and higher current rating provide enhanced performance margins for demanding applications.
Compliance Considerations
For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the FCE17 series and HARTING connectors are suitable replacements. The original FCC17C37PC68B is RoHS non-compliant and should be replaced in new designs subject to RoHS regulations. The FCE17 series provides direct form-fit-function replacement with RoHS compliance, while HARTING variants offer ROHS3 compliance with additional performance specifications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the FCE17C37PC68B directly replace the FCC17C37PC68B without PCB modifications?
A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC68B maintains identical mechanical dimensions, pin configuration, mounting type (through-hole right angle), and electrical specifications (5A current rating, UL94 V-0 flammability). The connector footprint and solder pad layout are compatible with the original FCC17C37PC68B design.
Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17 part numbers (PC60B, PC61B, PC64B, PC65B, PC69B, PC6DB, PC6EB)?
A: The FCE17 variants differ in dielectric material composition and contact form specifications. All variants maintain identical mechanical and electrical performance for the 37-position, 2-row, shell size 4 (DC, C) configuration. The suffix designations (60B through 6EB) indicate internal material and contact specifications that do not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.
Q: Are the HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors pin-compatible with the FCC17C37PC68B?
A: The HARTING connectors maintain the same 37-position, 2-row, shell size 4 (DC, C) pin configuration and are functionally compatible. However, the backset spacing differs (0.409" vs. 0.590"), and the flange feature type is different (Housing/Shell Unthreaded vs. Board Side M3). PCB layout verification is required before implementation to confirm mounting hole compatibility.
Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference between FCC17C37PC68B and FCE17 series?
A: The FCC17C37PC68B is RoHS non-compliant, while the FCE17 series is RoHS compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations (EU Directive 2011/65/EU and amendments), the FCE17 series must be used. The FCE17 series achieves compliance through material composition changes while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance.
Q: Can I use HARTING connectors in applications originally designed for the FCC17C37PC68B?
A: HARTING connectors provide functional substitution with enhanced specifications (6.5A current rating, -55°C to 125°C operating temperature). However, the different backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590") and flange feature type require PCB layout verification. If the PCB mounting holes and flange mounting points are compatible, the HARTING connectors are suitable. The higher current rating and extended temperature range provide additional performance margin.
Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these connectors?
A: All listed connectors, including the FCC17C37PC68B and all substitute parts, have an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited). This indicates unlimited shelf life without special moisture control measures and no baking requirement before soldering.
Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between substitute parts?
A: Current inventory levels vary among substitute parts. The FCE17C37PC6EB has the highest inventory (1120 pcs), followed by FCE17C37PC68B (1084 pcs). HARTING 09654226800 has 1047 pcs in stock. Inventory availability should be considered for production planning, but all listed parts are available in quantities suitable for standard manufacturing requirements.
Q: What is the difference in contact material between Amphenol and HARTING connectors?
A: Amphenol FCC17 and FCE17 series use phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish (15.0µin thickness). HARTING connectors use copper alloy contacts with unspecified finish. Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and contact reliability for signal-level applications at 5A to 6.5A current ratings.
