Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCC17C37PM600 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. All substitute candidates maintain the following core specifications: 37-position D-Sub plug configuration with male pins, 2-row layout, shell size 4 (DC, C), free-hanging in-line mounting, and solder cup termination. Substitution compatibility is determined by equivalence in connector style, position count, row configuration, shell size, mounting type, and termination method.

The following parameters establish substitution boundaries:

• Connector Style: D-Sub (required match)
• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pins (required match)
• Number of Positions: 37 (required match)
• Number of Rows: 2 (required match)
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 4 (DC, C) (required match)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (required match)
• Termination: Solder Cup (required match)

Substitute parts may vary in current rating, contact material, shell finish, dielectric material composition, and compliance certifications while maintaining functional equivalence for the specified connector interface.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FCE17C37PM600 (Amphenol ICC): This substitute maintains identical electrical specifications (5A, -40°C ~ 85°C) and mechanical configuration to the FCC17C37PM600. The FCE17C37PM600 is active product status with RoHS compliance certification, providing a direct replacement for applications requiring modern regulatory compliance. Dielectric material includes glass-filled thermoplastic composition.

09670375604 and 09670375615 (HARTING): These HARTING connectors provide enhanced current rating (7.5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) compared to the original part. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The 09670375604 is packaged in bulk, while 09670375615 is also bulk packaged. These parts are suitable for applications requiring higher thermal and electrical performance margins.

09672375604 and 09672375615 (HARTING): These HARTING variants offer 6.5A current rating and maintain the -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature range of the original part. The 09672375604 is supplied in tray packaging, while 09672375615 is bulk packaged. Both are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Contact form differs (stamped versus machined), affecting mechanical characteristics.

M24308/3-4F (Cinch Connectivity Solutions): This military-grade connector (MIL-C-24308 series) maintains 5A current rating and matches the original part's electrical specifications. Operating temperature extends to -65°C ~ 125°C. The part is RoHS non-compliant and features higher contact finish thickness (50.0µin versus 15.0µin). This option is suitable for legacy military or aerospace applications requiring MIL-spec compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PM600 directly replace the FCC17C37PM600?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PM600 maintains identical connector configuration (37-position D-Sub plug, male pins, solder cup termination), current rating (5A), voltage rating (200V), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance certification. Both parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What are the differences between HARTING part numbers 09670375604 and 09672375604?

A: Both are 37-position D-Sub plug connectors with solder cup termination. The 09670375604 provides 7.5A current rating and -55°C ~ 125°C operating temperature. The 09672375604 provides 6.5A current rating and -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature. Contact form differs: 09670375604 uses machined contacts, while 09672375604 uses stamped contacts. Selection depends on thermal and electrical performance requirements.

Q: Are HARTING parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All HARTING substitute parts (09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375604, 09672375615) are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current European regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the difference between bulk and tray packaging for HARTING connectors?

A: Packaging format affects handling and storage. Bulk packaging (09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375615) is suitable for high-volume assembly operations. Tray packaging (09672375604) provides organized component presentation for automated pick-and-place equipment. Electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical regardless of packaging format.

Q: When should the M24308/3-4F military-grade connector be selected?

A: The M24308/3-4F is appropriate for applications requiring MIL-C-24308 military specification compliance, extended temperature operation (-65°C ~ 125°C), or legacy system compatibility. This part is RoHS non-compliant and features thicker gold plating (50.0µin), making it suitable for harsh environments and long-term reliability requirements in military or aerospace applications.

Q: Can I use a substitute with higher current rating than the original FCC17C37PM600?

A: Yes. Substitutes with higher current ratings (HARTING 09670375604 at 7.5A or 09672375604 at 6.5A) are electrically compatible and provide additional performance margin. The higher current rating does not affect compatibility with circuits designed for 5A operation. Selection of higher-rated parts is appropriate for applications with potential current growth or thermal margin requirements.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness differences?

A: The FCC17C37PM600 features 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold plating, while the M24308/3-4F features 50.0µin (1.27µm) gold plating. Thicker plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact durability in harsh environments. Standard thickness (15.0µin) is suitable for controlled industrial environments, while thicker plating (50.0µin) is specified for military, aerospace, and high-reliability applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in equivalent quantities?

A: Inventory levels vary by part number and supplier. Current availability: FCC17C37PM600 (1012 pcs), FCE17C37PM600 (801 pcs), 09670375604 (1109 pcs), 09670375615 (885 pcs), 09672375604 (1156 pcs), 09672375615 (758 pcs), M24308/3-4F (1207 pcs).
