Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCC17C37PE490 is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

Connector Type: Must be D-Sub plug with male pins
Position Count: Must be 37 positions
Row Configuration: Must be 2 rows
Shell Size Layout: Must be 4 (DC, C)
Mounting Type: Must be through hole
Termination Method: Must be solder
Flange Feature Compatibility: Board side or mating side configurations are acceptable
Material Flammability: Must meet UL94 V-0 minimum

Current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and contact finish specifications may vary within acceptable engineering tolerances for signal-level applications. Shell material finish (tin or tin-nickel plating) and dielectric material composition are secondary considerations when primary parameters align.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation for RoHS Compliance Requirements:

FCE17C37PE490 (Amphenol ICC) is the direct active equivalent. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the FCC17C37PE490 while achieving RoHS compliance and active product status. This part is the preferred choice for new designs and obsolescence replacement where regulatory compliance is mandatory.

Secondary Recommendations for Extended Operating Range:

D37P24A4PL00LF (Amphenol ICC FCI, Delta D series) provides RoHS compliance with extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and higher voltage rating (300V). This part is suitable for applications requiring broader environmental specifications.

5787686-1 (TE Connectivity AMP, AMPLIMITE HD-20 series) offers RoHS3 compliance, extended temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), and higher current capacity (6A). This part is appropriate for signal-level applications with enhanced thermal requirements.

Alternative for Non-Compliance Environments:

787686-1 (TE Connectivity AMP) maintains active status with equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters but does not achieve RoHS compliance. This part is suitable only for legacy systems or applications where RoHS compliance is not required.

Current-Limited Applications:

A-DS 37 PP/Z (Assmann WSW) is rated for 3A maximum current. This part is suitable only for low-current signal applications and is not recommended as a general substitute for the FCC17C37PE490 in standard 5A applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37PE490 be used as a direct replacement for FCC17C37PE490?

A: Yes. FCE17C37PE490 is functionally equivalent with identical connector type, position count, row configuration, shell size, mounting method, and termination. The primary difference is active product status and RoHS compliance. Both parts maintain 37 positions, 2-row layout, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole mounting, and solder termination.

Q: What is the significance of the shell size 4 (DC, C) specification?

A: Shell size 4 (DC, C) defines the physical dimensions and pin layout of the D-Sub connector. All listed substitute parts maintain this specification, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing mating connectors and PCB footprints.

Q: Are there current rating differences between substitute parts?

A: Yes. The FCC17C37PE490 is rated for 5A. Substitute parts range from 3A (A-DS 37 PP/Z) to 6.5A (HARTING 09654617713 and 09654696713). For applications requiring the full 5A rating, select parts rated at 5A or higher. The A-DS 37 PP/Z is suitable only for lower-current signal applications.

Q: What is the difference between board-side and mating-side flange features?

A: Flange feature refers to the mounting configuration. Board-side flanges mount directly to the PCB. Mating-side flanges with female screwlock provide mechanical locking to the mating connector. Both configurations are mechanically compatible with the FCC17C37PE490 footprint, but installation method differs.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance relates to material composition (lead-free solder, restricted substances) and does not alter electrical specifications. RoHS-compliant parts maintain equivalent voltage, current, and temperature ratings.

Q: Can D37P24A6GV00 be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: No. D37P24A6GV00 is marked as RoHS non-compliant. For RoHS-compliant applications, select FCE17C37PE490, D37P24A4PL00LF, or other parts explicitly marked as RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference between substitute parts?

A: The FCC17C37PE490 operates from -40°C to 85°C. Substitute parts offer extended ranges: HARTING parts operate to -55°C to 125°C, TE Connectivity parts to -55°C to 105°C, and Amphenol FCI Delta D series to -55°C to 125°C. Select parts based on application thermal requirements.

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

A: No. Packaging varies: FCC17C37PE490 and FCE17C37PE490 use standard packaging, HARTING parts are bulk-packaged, TE Connectivity parts are tube-packaged, Assmann WSW uses tray packaging, and Amphenol FCI Delta D series uses tray packaging. Verify packaging compatibility with procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What contact material differences exist among substitute parts?

A: Contact materials vary: FCC17C37PE490 uses phosphor bronze, HARTING parts use copper alloy, TE Connectivity parts use brass or phosphor bronze, Assmann WSW uses brass, and Amphenol FCI uses phosphor bronze. All materials are suitable for signal-level applications with gold plating.
