Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: FCE17C37PE280

The FCE17C37PE280 from Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) is the direct active equivalent to the obsolete FCC17C37PE280. This substitute maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The FCE17 series represents the current production line replacement for the FCC17 series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37PE280 be used as a direct replacement for FCC17C37PE280?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PE280 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 37 positions, 2 rows, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole solder termination, 5A current rating, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The primary difference is active product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference between FCC17C37PE280 (200V) and some substitutes (125V)?

A: Voltage rating indicates the maximum voltage the connector can safely withstand. Substitutes with 125V rating are suitable only for applications operating at or below 125V. For applications requiring 200V operation, select substitutes with equal or higher voltage ratings: FCE17C37PE280, D37P24A4PL00LF, D37P24A6GV00, or A-DS 37 PP/Z.

Q: Why does A-DS 37 PP/Z have a lower current rating (3A) than the original part (5A)?

A: Current rating is determined by contact design and material composition. The A-DS 37 PP/Z is suitable only for applications with current requirements not exceeding 3A. For applications requiring 5A or higher, select substitutes with equal or higher current ratings.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS compliant and ROHS3 compliant?

A: RoHS compliance indicates conformance to the original Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. ROHS3 compliance indicates conformance to the updated directive (EU 2015/863). Both represent compliance with hazardous substance restrictions. ROHS3 is the current standard for new designs.

Q: Are there differences in flange features between the original part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The FCC17C37PE280 features an unthreaded housing/shell flange. Substitutes include variations: unthreaded housing/shell (FCE17C37PE280, A-DS 37 PP/Z), female screwlock 4-40 (HARTING parts, 5745074-2, 5787686-1, 787686-1), housing/shell 4-40 (5745054-4), and M3 flange (D37P24A4PL00LF). Flange feature selection depends on mechanical mounting requirements.

Q: What is the difference between contact finish specifications "Gold" and "Gold, GXT™"?

A: Both indicate gold plating on contacts. GXT™ represents a specific gold plating technology. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical performance for signal applications.

Q: Can substitutes with extended operating temperature ranges be used in applications with the original temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)?

A: Yes. Substitutes with extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 105°C or -55°C ~ 125°C) are fully compatible with applications operating within the original -40°C ~ 85°C range. Extended temperature capability provides additional design flexibility without compromising performance.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: Packaging varies by part number. FCE17C37PE280 is available in standard packaging. HARTING parts (09654617713, 09654696713) are supplied in bulk packaging. TE Connectivity parts (5745054-4, 5745074-2, 5787686-1, 787686-1) are supplied in tube packaging. Amphenol ICC Delta D parts (D37P24A4PL00LF, D37P24A6GV00) are supplied in tray packaging. Assmann WSW A-DS 37 PP/Z is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are all substitutes suitable for solder termination?

A: Yes. All listed substitutes feature solder termination, matching the original FCC17C37PE280 specification.

Q: Which substitute offers the best overall compliance for new designs?

A: FCE17C37PE280 provides the most direct replacement with active product status and RoHS compliance. For applications requiring ROHS3 compliance specifically, 5787686-1, 09654617713, 09654696713, and A-DS 37 PP/Z are suitable options.
