Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: FCE17C37PE4D0

The FCE17C37PE4D0 (Amphenol ICC, FCE17 series) is the direct active equivalent to the FCC17C37PE4D0. This part 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 obsolete FCC17 series. Inventory availability is 1050 units.

Secondary Recommendations for Regulatory Compliance:

For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, the following parts are suitable:

09654696713 (HARTING): Offers extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and higher current rating (6.5A). ROHS3 compliant with 906 units in stock.
5787686-1 (TE Connectivity AMP, AMPLIMITE HD-20 series): Provides ROHS3 compliance with extended temperature range and board lock features. 9394 units in stock, representing highest availability.
D37P24A4PL00LF (Amphenol ICC FCI, Delta D series): RoHS compliant with enhanced voltage rating (300V) and extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). 807 units in stock.

Considerations for Non-Compliant Applications:

If RoHS compliance is not required and the original FCC17C37PE4D0 specification must be maintained exactly, the 787686-1 (TE Connectivity AMP) offers identical electrical parameters with RoHS non-compliant status. However, this part is not recommended for new designs.

Current Rating Limitation:

The A-DS 37 PP/Z (Assmann WSW Components) has a reduced current rating of 3A compared to the original 5A specification. This part is suitable only for applications with lower current requirements and is not recommended as a direct substitute for the FCC17C37PE4D0.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use FCE17C37PE4D0 as a direct replacement for FCC17C37PE4D0?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PE4D0 is the active equivalent with identical connector type, position count, shell size, mounting method, and termination. Both parts are 37-position D-Sub plugs with male pins, through-hole solder termination, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The FCE17 series is the current production replacement for the obsolete FCC17 series.

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

A: Board-side flange (FCC17C37PE4D0, FCE17C37PE4D0, A-DS 37 PP/Z) mounts on the printed circuit board with fastening holes on the connector shell. Mating-side female screwlock flange (09654696713, 5787686-1, D37P24A6GV00) provides locking engagement with the mating connector. Both configurations are mechanically and electrically compatible with standard D-Sub receptacles.

Q: Are all substitute parts rated for 5A current?

A: No. Current ratings vary: FCC17C37PE4D0 and FCE17C37PE4D0 are rated 5A; HARTING parts (09654617713, 09654696713) are rated 6.5A; TE Connectivity parts (5745054-4, 5745074-2, 5787686-1, 787686-1) are rated 6A; A-DS 37 PP/Z is rated 3A; Amphenol FCI parts (D37P24A4PL00LF, D37P24A6GV00) are rated 5A. For applications requiring exactly 5A, select parts with 5A or higher ratings.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance status?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the connector meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations, restricting lead, cadmium, mercury, and other hazardous materials. FCC17C37PE4D0 is RoHS non-compliant. Active substitutes with ROHS3 compliance (FCE17C37PE4D0, 09654696713, 5787686-1, A-DS 37 PP/Z, D37P24A4PL00LF) are required for applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer specifications.

Q: Can I substitute a part with a lower voltage rating?

A: No. The FCC17C37PE4D0 is rated 200V. Substitute parts must have equal or higher voltage ratings. Parts rated 125V (5745054-4, 5745074-2, 5787686-1, 787686-1) are not suitable. Parts rated 250V or 300V (A-DS 37 PP/Z, D37P24A4PL00LF, D37P24A6GV00) are acceptable.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: Substitute parts are supplied in different packaging: Tube (TE Connectivity parts), Tray (Amphenol FCI parts, A-DS 37 PP/Z), and Bulk (HARTING parts). Packaging does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may impact handling, storage, and ordering quantities.

Q: Are there temperature range limitations for substitution?

A: The FCC17C37PE4D0 operates -40°C ~ 85°C. Substitute parts with equal or wider temperature ranges are acceptable. Parts with narrower ranges (A-DS 37 PP/Z: -20°C ~ 105°C) are not suitable for applications requiring the full -40°C lower limit. Parts with extended ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C or -55°C ~ 105°C) are fully compatible.

Q: What is the difference between contact materials (Phosphor Bronze vs. Brass vs. Copper Alloy)?

A: All three materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and mechanical durability for signal applications. Phosphor Bronze (FCC17C37PE4D0, FCE17C37PE4D0, 5787686-1, 787686-1, D37P24A4PL00LF) offers superior spring characteristics. Brass (5745054-4, 5745074-2, A-DS 37 PP/Z) and Copper Alloy (09654617713, 09654696713) are functionally equivalent for this connector class. Material selection does not affect substitution eligibility.

Q: Is the A-DS 37 PP/Z suitable for my application?

A: The A-DS 37 PP/Z is suitable only if your application current requirement is 3A or less. The original FCC17C37PE4D0 is rated 5A, and the A-DS 37 PP/Z's 3A rating is insufficient for equivalent performance. Additionally, the operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 105°C) does not support the original -40°C lower limit.
