All four HARTING variants are in active production and achieve ROHS3 compliance. These connectors exceed the current rating of the FCC17C37PM290, with 09670375604 and 09670375615 rated at 7.5A, and 09672375604 and 09672375615 rated at 6.5A. The HARTING variants also provide extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C for 09670375604 and 09670375615; -40°C ~ 85°C for 09672375604 and 09672375615). Selection among HARTING variants depends on packaging requirements: 09672375604 is supplied in Tray packaging, while 09670375604, 09670375615, and 09672375615 are supplied in Bulk packaging.

M24308/3-4F (Cinch Connectivity Solutions)

The M24308/3-4F is a military-grade D-Sub 37-position plug connector manufactured by Cinch Connectivity Solutions, conforming to MIL-C-24308 specifications. This connector is in active production status and meets all primary substitution criteria. The M24308/3-4F provides an extended operating temperature range of -65°C ~ 125°C and maintains a 5A current rating matching the FCC17C37PM290. This part is RoHS non-compliant, consistent with the original FCC17C37PM290. The M24308/3-4F is suitable for applications requiring military-specification connectors or systems where legacy military-grade components are specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PM290 be used as a direct replacement for the FCC17C37PM290?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PM290 is mechanically and electrically interchangeable with the FCC17C37PM290. Both connectors share identical pin configurations, shell sizes, termination methods, and electrical ratings. The primary difference is product status: FCE17C37PM290 is in active production, while FCC17C37PM290 is obsolete. The FCE17C37PM290 also achieves RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the HARTING variants (09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375604, 09672375615)?

A: All four HARTING variants are mechanically and electrically interchangeable with the FCC17C37PM290. The primary differences are: (1) Current rating: 09670375604 and 09670375615 are rated at 7.5A; 09672375604 and 09672375615 are rated at 6.5A. (2) Contact form: 09670375604 and 09670375615 feature machined contacts; 09672375604 and 09672375615 feature stamped contacts. (3) Packaging: 09672375604 is supplied in Tray packaging; the others are supplied in Bulk packaging. (4) Operating temperature: 09670375604 and 09670375615 operate from -55°C ~ 125°C; 09672375604 and 09672375615 operate from -40°C ~ 85°C.

Q: Is the M24308/3-4F compatible with the FCC17C37PM290?

A: Yes. The M24308/3-4F is mechanically and electrically compatible with the FCC17C37PM290. Both connectors feature 37 positions, 2 rows, shell size 4 (DC, C), solder cup termination, and 5A current rating. The M24308/3-4F is a military-specification alternative suitable for applications requiring MIL-C-24308 compliance or legacy military-grade components.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect interchangeability?

A: No. RoHS compliance status does not affect mechanical or electrical interchangeability. The FCC17C37PM290 is RoHS non-compliant, while FCE17C37PM290 and the HARTING variants are RoHS compliant. Selection based on RoHS status depends on system regulatory requirements, not connector functionality.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a higher current rating than the FCC17C37PM290?

A: Yes. The HARTING variants 09670375604 and 09670375615 (7.5A) and 09672375604 and 09672375615 (6.5A) all exceed the 5A rating of the FCC17C37PM290. A higher current rating indicates the substitute part can safely handle equal or greater current loads, making it suitable for applications where the original part was specified.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: Packaging varies by manufacturer and part number. The FCE17C37PM290 is available in standard packaging. HARTING 09672375604 is supplied in Tray packaging; HARTING 09670375604, 09670375615, and 09672375615 are supplied in Bulk packaging. The M24308/3-4F is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on inventory management and assembly process requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts in active production?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts (FCE17C37PM290, 09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375604, 09672375615, and M24308/3-4F) are in active production status. The original FCC17C37PM290 is obsolete, making these active alternatives essential for ongoing system support.
