Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17C37PM490

The FCE17C37PM490 represents the direct active equivalent from the original manufacturer. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications to the FCC17C37PM490 while offering active product status. The FCE17C37PM490 is RoHS compliant, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs. This part is the preferred selection for direct replacement in applications where manufacturer continuity and compliance certification are required.

HARTING 09670375604 and 09670375615

These HARTING parts provide functional equivalence with enhanced current rating (7.5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The 09670375604 is supplied in bulk packaging, while 09670375615 is also bulk packaged. These parts are suitable for applications requiring higher thermal performance or extended environmental operating conditions.

HARTING 09672375604 and 09672375615

These HARTING alternatives offer current ratings of 6.5A with operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, matching the original part's thermal envelope. The 09672375604 is supplied in tray packaging, while 09672375615 is bulk packaged. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. These parts provide intermediate current capability between the original specification and the higher-rated 09670 series.

The M24308/3-4F is a military-grade equivalent conforming to MIL-C-24308 specification. This part maintains the 5A current rating and provides extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C). The M24308/3-4F is RoHS non-compliant, making it suitable for legacy systems and military applications where compliance exemptions apply. This part features gold-plated contacts with higher finish thickness (50.0µin) compared to the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PM490 be used as a direct replacement for the FCC17C37PM490?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PM490 is mechanically and electrically equivalent to the FCC17C37PM490. Both parts share identical connector geometry, pin configuration, position count, shell size, and solder cup termination. The FCE17C37PM490 offers the additional advantage of active product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What is the difference between the HARTING 09670 and 09672 series substitutes?

A: The primary differences are current rating and contact form. The 09670 series (09670375604 and 09670375615) provides 7.5A current rating with machined contacts and extended operating temperature (-55°C to 125°C). The 09672 series (09672375604 and 09672375615) provides 6.5A current rating with stamped contacts and standard operating temperature (-40°C to 85°C). Both series are mechanically interchangeable with the original part.

Q: Are there packaging differences among the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The HARTING 09672375604 is supplied in tray packaging, while all other HARTING parts (09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375615) are supplied in bulk packaging. Amphenol ICC FCE17C37PM490 packaging is not specified. Packaging selection should be based on procurement and assembly requirements.

Q: Is the M24308/3-4F suitable for new commercial designs?

A: The M24308/3-4F is RoHS non-compliant and is designed for military and legacy applications. For new commercial designs subject to RoHS requirements, the FCE17C37PM490 or HARTING ROHS3-compliant alternatives (09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375604, 09672375615) are appropriate selections.

Q: What are the compliance certifications for each substitute part?

A: FCE17C37PM490 is RoHS compliant. HARTING parts (09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375604, 09672375615) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. M24308/3-4F is RoHS non-compliant. All parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification.

Q: Can substitutes with higher current ratings be used in applications rated for 5A?

A: Yes. Parts with higher current ratings (HARTING 09670 series at 7.5A and 09672 series at 6.5A) are suitable for applications specified at 5A. Higher current rating indicates greater current-carrying capacity and does not create incompatibility in lower-current applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for the same operating temperature range as the original?

A: The FCC17C37PM490 operates from -40°C to 85°C. The FCE17C37PM490 and HARTING 09672 series match this range. HARTING 09670 series and M24308/3-4F provide extended temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C and -65°C to 125°C respectively), making them suitable for applications requiring broader thermal performance.
