FCC17C37PC6EB D-Sub 37-Position Right Angle Solder Plug Connector

Part Overview

The FCC17C37PC6EB is a 37-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) with right-angle through-hole solder termination. This connector is classified as obsolete, indicating that direct replacements from the same manufacturer series are no longer 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 The FCC17 series has been superseded by the FCE17 series, which maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability for new designs, repairs, and legacy system support.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCC17C37PC6EB are grouped into two categories based on parametric equivalence and manufacturer compatibility:

Category 1: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Direct Electrical and Mechanical Equivalents)

The FCE17C37PC6EB, FCE17C37PC60B, FCE17C37PC61B, FCE17C37PC64B, FCE17C37PC65B, FCE17C37PC68B, FCE17C37PC69B, and FCE17C37PC6DB are all Amphenol ICC products that maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

37-position D-Sub plug configuration with male pins
2-row connector layout, shell size 4 (DC, C)
Through-hole, right-angle solder termination
5A current rating
Steel, tin-plated shell with gold-plated contacts (15.0µin thickness)
0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing
Board-side M3 flange feature
UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Phosphor bronze contact material
-40°C to 85°C operating temperature range
MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity

The primary distinction within this category is product status: FCE17 series parts are active products, whereas FCC17C37PC6EB is obsolete. Additionally, FCE17 series parts are RoHS compliant, while the FCC17C37PC6EB is RoHS non-compliant. The dielectric material in FCE17 variants includes glass-filled thermoplastic formulations.

Category 2: HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 (Parametric Equivalents with Design Variations)

The HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors provide functional equivalence as 37-position D-Sub plugs with male pins, right-angle through-hole solder termination, and 2-row configuration in shell size 4 (DC, C). These parts share the following parameters with the FCC17C37PC6EB:

37-position D-Sub plug, male pins
2-row connector layout, shell size 4 (DC, C)
Through-hole, right-angle solder termination
Steel shell material
UL94 V-0 flammability rating
Grounding indents feature
MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity

Notable differences in the HARTING variants include:

Higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A)
Reduced backset spacing (0.409" / 10.40mm versus 0.590" / 14.99mm)
Housing/shell flange feature (unthreaded) versus board-side M3 flange
Stamped contact form versus machined contact form
Copper alloy contact material versus phosphor bronze
Extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C)
ROHS3 compliant status
Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyester glass-filled dielectric material

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For New Designs and RoHS-Compliant Applications:

The Amphenol ICC FCE17 series connectors (FCE17C37PC6EB, FCE17C37PC60B, FCE17C37PC61B, FCE17C37PC64B, FCE17C37PC65B, FCE17C37PC68B, FCE17C37PC69B, FCE17C37PC6DB) are the primary recommended substitutes for the obsolete FCC17C37PC6EB. These parts maintain complete electrical and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The FCE17 series is suitable for applications requiring modern regulatory compliance and long-term component availability.

For Applications with Extended Temperature or Higher Current Requirements:

The HARTING 09654226800 and 09654227800 connectors provide functional equivalence with enhanced specifications. These parts support higher current ratings (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C). However, these HARTING variants feature reduced backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590"), which may require PCB layout modifications. The HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications demanding broader environmental performance.

For Legacy System Repairs and Maintenance:

When direct replacement of the FCC17C37PC6EB is required for existing equipment, the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series provides the most direct substitution path. The identical backset spacing, flange configuration, and contact specifications ensure mechanical and electrical interchangeability without PCB redesign.

Compliance Considerations:

Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use FCE17 series (RoHS Compliant) or HARTING (ROHS3 Compliant) alternatives. The original FCC17C37PC6EB is RoHS non-compliant and unsuitable for new designs in regulated markets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PC6EB directly replace the FCC17C37PC6EB without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PC6EB maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications, including backset spacing (0.590"), flange configuration (board-side M3), and solder termination footprint. No PCB layout changes are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between the FCC17 and FCE17 series?

A: The FCC17 series is obsolete, while the FCE17 series is active. The FCE17 series is RoHS compliant, whereas the FCC17 is RoHS non-compliant. Electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent.

Q: Are all FCE17C37 variants (PC60B, PC61B, PC64B, PC65B, PC68B, PC69B, PC6DB) interchangeable with the FCC17C37PC6EB?

A: Yes. All FCE17C37 variants listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications relative to the FCC17C37PC6EB. The suffix variations (PC60B, PC61B, etc.) represent internal design or material revisions that do not affect connector performance or compatibility.

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

A: These HARTING connectors provide functional equivalence but with design variations. The reduced backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.590") requires PCB layout verification. The higher current rating (6.5A) and extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) make these suitable for demanding applications, but mechanical compatibility must be confirmed before implementation.

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

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the solder contact points. The FCC17C37PC6EB and all FCE17 variants use 0.590" (14.99mm) spacing, which determines the PCB footprint. HARTING parts use 0.409" (10.40mm) spacing, requiring different PCB hole patterns. Mismatched backset spacing prevents proper connector seating.

Q: Are the FCE17 series connectors suitable for applications requiring 200V operation?

A: The FCE17 series specifications do not explicitly state a voltage rating. Applications requiring 200V operation should verify voltage ratings with the manufacturer or use the original FCC17C37PC6EB specification as a reference. The HARTING variants also do not specify voltage ratings.

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

A: The FCC17C37PC6EB uses machined contacts (precision-formed from solid material), while HARTING variants use stamped contacts (formed from sheet material). Machined contacts typically provide superior contact reliability and durability. This difference may affect connector performance in high-cycle mating applications.

Q: Are the FCE17 series connectors available in the same packaging as the FCC17C37PC6EB?

A: Packaging information is not specified in the provided data for either the FCC17C37PC6EB or FCE17 series. Contact the manufacturer or distributor for specific packaging configurations (tape and reel, bulk, etc.).

Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for connector selection?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance restricts the use of lead, cadmium, mercury, and other hazardous materials. The FCC17C37PC6EB is RoHS non-compliant, while FCE17 series parts are RoHS compliant. New designs and products sold in regulated markets (EU, California, etc.) must use RoHS-compliant components.

Q: Can the FCC17C37PC6EB be used in new product designs?

A: The FCC17C37PC6EB is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. New product designs should use the FCE17 series (RoHS compliant, active status) or HARTING alternatives. Using obsolete components in new designs creates long-term supply chain and regulatory compliance risks.
