FCC17C37PC69B D-Sub 37-Position Right Angle Solder Plug Connector

Part Overview

The FCC17C37PC69B is a 37-position D-Sub plug connector with right-angle through-hole solder termination, manufactured by Amphenol ICC. This connector is classified as obsolete, indicating that direct replacements from the same series may no longer be in active production. The FCC17 series has been superseded by the FCE17 series, which maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Direct Electrical and Mechanical Equivalents): The FCE17C37PC69B and related FCE17 variants (FCE17C37PC60B, FCE17C37PC61B, FCE17C37PC64B, FCE17C37PC65B, FCE17C37PC68B, FCE17C37PC6DB, FCE17C37PC6EB) maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the FCC17C37PC69B. These parts differ only in dielectric material composition (glass-filled thermoplastic variants) and product status (active vs. obsolete). All FCE17 variants are RoHS compliant, whereas the original FCC17C37PC69B is not.

HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 (Parametric Equivalents): These connectors share the same 37-position D-Sub configuration, right-angle solder termination, and shell size. However, they differ in backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590"), contact form (stamped vs. machined), current rating (6.5A vs. 5A), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. -40°C to 85°C). These parts are suitable only when the application permits the specified parameter variations.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series): The FCE17C37PC69B and related FCE17 variants are the recommended direct replacements for the obsolete FCC17C37PC69B. These parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. Selection among FCE17 variants should be based on dielectric material requirements and inventory availability. All FCE17 parts are functionally interchangeable with the original FCC17C37PC69B in applications where RoHS compliance is required or preferred.

Secondary Substitutes (HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800): These HARTING connectors are suitable only when the application permits deviations in backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590"), contact form (stamped vs. machined), current rating (6.5A vs. 5A), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. -40°C to 85°C). The wider operating temperature range and higher current rating of HARTING parts may be advantageous in demanding thermal or high-current applications. However, the reduced backset spacing requires PCB layout verification to ensure mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37PC69B be used as a direct replacement for FCC17C37PC69B?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC69B is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the FCC17C37PC69B. Both connectors have identical 37-position D-Sub configuration, shell size 4, right-angle solder termination, 5A current rating, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The primary difference is that FCE17C37PC69B is RoHS compliant and has active product status, whereas FCC17C37PC69B is obsolete and non-compliant.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17 part numbers (PC60B, PC61B, PC64B, PC65B, PC68B, PC6DB, PC6EB)?

A: All FCE17 variants listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The differences are in dielectric material composition (glass-filled thermoplastic variants) and internal design features. Selection should be based on specific application requirements and inventory availability. All variants are functionally interchangeable for the same 37-position D-Sub solder plug application.

Q: Can HARTING 09654226800 or 09654227800 be used instead of FCC17C37PC69B?

A: These HARTING connectors share the same 37-position D-Sub configuration and right-angle solder termination. However, they differ in backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590"), contact form (stamped vs. machined), current rating (6.5A vs. 5A), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C vs. -40°C to 85°C). Use HARTING parts only if your application permits these parameter variations and requires the extended temperature range or higher current capacity.

Q: What does backset spacing mean, and why does it matter?

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the solder cup contact points. The FCC17C37PC69B has 0.590" backset spacing, while HARTING parts have 0.409" spacing. This dimension affects PCB layout and mounting depth. Connectors with different backset spacing are not interchangeable without PCB redesign.

Q: Is RoHS compliance important for my application?

A: RoHS compliance is mandatory for products sold in the European Union and many other markets. The FCC17C37PC69B is RoHS non-compliant, while all FCE17 variants and HARTING parts are RoHS compliant. If your application or end market requires RoHS compliance, use FCE17 or HARTING alternatives.

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

A: Machined contacts (FCC17C37PC69B) are individually formed from solid material, providing consistent contact geometry and typically lower contact resistance. Stamped contacts (HARTING parts) are formed from sheet material, offering cost advantages but potentially different contact characteristics. For signal-level applications, both forms are acceptable; selection depends on application requirements and cost considerations.

Q: Can I use a connector with a higher current rating than required?

A: Yes. Using a connector with a higher current rating (such as HARTING 6.5A parts instead of 5A) provides additional safety margin and is acceptable. However, the connector must still meet all other electrical and mechanical requirements of your application.
