• Number of Positions: 37 (mandatory)
• Number of Rows: 2 (mandatory)
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 4 (DC, C) (mandatory)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (mandatory)
• Termination: Solder Cup (mandatory)
• Flange Feature: Housing/Shell (Unthreaded) (mandatory)
• Contact Type: Signal (mandatory)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (required)
• Current Rating (Amps): 5A minimum

• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on product status and compliance:

Category 1: Active Amphenol ICC Series (FCE17C37PM2D0) Direct series equivalent with identical core specifications and active product status.

Category 2: Active HARTING Alternatives (09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375604, 09672375615) Alternative manufacturer parts meeting all primary compatibility criteria with enhanced current ratings and extended operating temperature ranges.

Category 3: Military-Grade Alternative (M24308/3-4F) Cinch Connectivity Solutions military-specification connector meeting core compatibility requirements with enhanced contact finish thickness and operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: FCE17C37PM2D0

The FCE17C37PM2D0 from Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) is the direct active equivalent to the obsolete FCC17C37PM2D0. This part maintains identical core specifications across all primary compatibility parameters and is classified as active product status. The FCE17C37PM2D0 achieves RoHS compliance, providing regulatory advantage for new designs while maintaining the same electrical and mechanical interface characteristics. Current inventory of 858 units supports immediate procurement requirements.

Secondary Recommendations: HARTING 09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375604, 09672375615

The HARTING alternatives meet all primary compatibility criteria and offer enhanced electrical performance with current ratings of 6.5A to 7.5A, exceeding the 5A specification of the original part. These parts are ROHS3 compliant and feature extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C for 09670375604 and 09670375615). Selection between these variants depends on packaging requirements (Bulk or Tray) and contact form specifications (Machined or Stamped). Inventory availability ranges from 758 to 1156 units.

Tertiary Recommendation: M24308/3-4F

The M24308/3-4F from Cinch Connectivity Solutions is a military-specification D-Sub connector meeting all primary compatibility criteria. This part features enhanced contact finish thickness (50.0µin versus 15.0µin) and extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C). The M24308/3-4F is suitable for applications requiring military-grade specifications. Current inventory of 1207 units is available. Note that this part is RoHS non-compliant.

Compliance Considerations:

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, FCE17C37PM2D0 or HARTING alternatives (09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375604, 09672375615) are appropriate selections. For applications with no RoHS requirement or military specifications, M24308/3-4F provides an alternative with enhanced performance characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can the FCE17C37PM2D0 be used as a direct replacement for the FCC17C37PM2D0?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PM2D0 maintains identical specifications across all primary compatibility parameters: 37-position D-Sub plug, male pins, solder cup termination, shell size 4 (DC, C), free-hanging in-line mounting, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The FCE17C37PM2D0 is active product status and RoHS compliant, making it the recommended direct equivalent.

Q2: What are the key differences between HARTING alternatives and the original FCC17C37PM2D0?

A: HARTING alternatives (09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375604, 09672375615) maintain identical connector geometry and pin configuration but offer enhanced current ratings (6.5A to 7.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). Contact form varies between machined and stamped configurations. All HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant.

Q3: Are packaging differences between HARTING parts significant for substitution?

A: Packaging differences (Bulk versus Tray) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on procurement and assembly process requirements. Part numbers 09670375604 and 09670375615 are supplied in Bulk packaging, while 09672375604 and 09672375615 are supplied in Tray packaging.

Q4: What is the significance of contact form differences (Machined versus Stamped)?

A: Contact form differences (machined versus stamped) are provided in the specification data but do not affect primary compatibility criteria for substitution purposes. Both contact forms maintain the same electrical performance and mechanical interface characteristics required for D-Sub 37-position plug connectors.

Q5: When should the M24308/3-4F military-specification connector be selected?

A: The M24308/3-4F should be selected for applications requiring military-specification components, extended operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C), or enhanced contact finish thickness (50.0µin). This part is suitable for defense, aerospace, and industrial applications with military-grade requirements. Note that M24308/3-4F is RoHS non-compliant.

Q6: Are all substitute parts compatible with the same mating connectors as the FCC17C37PM2D0?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical shell size (4, DC, C) and connector layout specifications, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating D-Sub 37-position receptacle connectors designed for the original FCC17C37PM2D0.

Q7: What is the impact of RoHS compliance on part selection?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement for many applications, particularly in consumer electronics and European markets. FCE17C37PM2D0 and HARTING alternatives are RoHS compliant, while FCC17C37PM2D0 and M24308/3-4F are non-compliant. Selection should align with applicable regulatory requirements for the target application.

Q8: Can HARTING parts with 7.5A current rating be used in applications designed for 5A?

A: Yes. HARTING parts with 7.5A current rating (09670375604, 09670375615) exceed the 5A specification of the original part and are fully compatible with applications designed for 5A operation. The higher current rating provides additional design margin without affecting mechanical or electrical interface compatibility.
