Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCC17C37PM4D0 is determined by strict equivalence in the following core parameters: connector style (D-Sub), connector type (plug with male pins), number of positions (37), number of rows (2), shell size and layout (4/DC/C), termination method (solder cup), and mounting type (free hanging in-line). All identified substitute parts maintain these critical mechanical and electrical characteristics.

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

Category 1: Active Amphenol ICC Alternative – The FCE17C37PM4D0 represents the direct active successor from the original manufacturer, maintaining identical mechanical specifications while offering RoHS compliance and active product status.

Category 2: Active Third-Party Alternatives – HARTING and Cinch Connectivity Solutions provide functionally equivalent 37-position D-Sub plug connectors with solder cup termination. These parts maintain core mechanical compatibility while offering variations in current rating, contact material, and compliance certifications.

Substitution logic is based strictly on matching: connector style, connector type, position count, row configuration, shell size/layout, termination type, and mounting method. Variations in current rating, contact material, shell finish, and compliance status are documented but do not preclude functional substitution within specified electrical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: FCE17C37PM4D0

The FCE17C37PM4D0 from Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) is the recommended substitute for the obsolete FCC17C37PM4D0. This part maintains identical mechanical specifications, electrical ratings, and operating temperature range while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. Selection of the FCE17C37PM4D0 ensures continuity with the original manufacturer's product line and eliminates supply chain risk associated with obsolete components.

Secondary Recommendations: HARTING 09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375604, 09672375615

HARTING-manufactured alternatives provide functional equivalence with enhanced current ratings (6.5A to 7.5A) and extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C). These parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Selection of HARTING alternatives is appropriate for applications requiring higher current capacity or extended temperature performance. The 09670375604 and 09670375615 variants offer 7.5A current rating with -55°C to 125°C operating range. The 09672375604 and 09672375615 variants provide 6.5A current rating with -40°C to 85°C operating range, matching the original part's temperature specification.

Tertiary Recommendation: M24308/3-4F

The M24308/3-4F from Cinch Connectivity Solutions is a military-grade alternative conforming to MIL-C-24308 specifications. This part maintains 5A current rating and offers extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C). The M24308/3-4F is RoHS non-compliant and is appropriate for military and aerospace applications where MIL-C-24308 compliance is required. This part is not recommended for new commercial designs requiring RoHS compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PM4D0 directly replace the FCC17C37PM4D0 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PM4D0 maintains identical mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and operating temperature specifications. The part is mechanically and electrically interchangeable. The primary difference is active product status and RoHS compliance, which represent improvements over the obsolete FCC17C37PM4D0.

Q: What are the key differences between HARTING alternatives and the original Amphenol ICC part?

A: HARTING alternatives (09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375604, 09672375615) maintain identical mechanical specifications and solder cup termination. Differences include: current rating (6.5A to 7.5A versus 5A), operating temperature range (extended to -55°C or -65°C), contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), and compliance certifications (ROHS3 compliant). These differences do not preclude substitution within applications operating within the original 5A current specification and -40°C to 85°C temperature range.

Q: Are HARTING parts suitable for applications originally designed for the FCC17C37PM4D0?

A: Yes, within the original electrical and thermal specifications. HARTING alternatives provide equal or superior performance in current rating and temperature range. Applications operating at or below 5A and within -40°C to 85°C are fully compatible. Applications requiring the extended temperature or current capabilities of HARTING parts benefit from enhanced performance margins.

Q: What is the difference between 09670375604 and 09672375604?

A: Both are HARTING 37-position D-Sub plug connectors with solder cup termination. The 09670375604 is packaged in bulk and rated for 7.5A with -55°C to 125°C operating range. The 09672375604 is packaged in trays and rated for 6.5A with -40°C to 85°C operating range. Selection depends on packaging requirements and performance specifications for the application.

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

A: The M24308/3-4F is a military-grade connector conforming to MIL-C-24308 specifications. While mechanically and electrically compatible, this part is RoHS non-compliant and is not recommended for new commercial designs subject to RoHS requirements. This part is appropriate for military, aerospace, and defense applications where MIL-C-24308 compliance is specified.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance in substitute selection?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the part does not contain restricted substances (lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate). The FCE17C37PM4D0 and HARTING alternatives are RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for commercial and consumer applications in the European Union and other jurisdictions. The FCC17C37PM4D0 and M24308/3-4F are RoHS non-compliant and are restricted in new designs subject to RoHS directives.

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

A: Yes. A connector rated for 6.5A or 7.5A can be used in applications specified for 5A operation. The higher current rating provides additional performance margin and does not create compatibility issues. The connector will operate safely within the lower current specification.

Q: What packaging options are available for HARTING alternatives?

A: HARTING alternatives are available in bulk and tray packaging. The 09670375604 and 09670375615 are supplied in bulk packaging. The 09672375604 and 09672375615 are supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection depends on inventory management and assembly process requirements.
