Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCC17C37PM640 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• 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)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (required match)

Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across all these parameters. Variations in current rating, contact material, shell finish, dielectric material composition, and RoHS compliance are permissible when the core electrical and mechanical specifications align. The following parts meet these substitution criteria:

• FCE17C37PM640 (Amphenol ICC)
• 09670375604 (HARTING)
• 09670375615 (HARTING)
• 09672375604 (HARTING)
• 09672375615 (HARTING)
• M24308/3-4F (Cinch Connectivity Solutions)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For applications requiring direct replacement of the obsolete FCC17C37PM640:

FCE17C37PM640 provides the closest functional equivalence from Amphenol ICC. This part maintains identical electrical specifications (5A, 200V) and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The transition from the FCC17 series to the FCE17 series represents the manufacturer's current offering for this connector class.

HARTING 09672375604 and 09672375615 are suitable alternatives for applications operating within the -40°C ~ 85°C temperature range. These parts offer higher current ratings (6.5A) and RoHS3 compliance. The primary distinction between these two variants is packaging (Tray vs. Bulk).

HARTING 09670375604 and 09670375615 extend the operating temperature range to -55°C ~ 125°C with increased current capacity (7.5A), suitable for demanding thermal environments. These parts are available in Bulk packaging.

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 the widest operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 125°C). RoHS non-compliance and cadmium plating indicate this part is intended for legacy military and aerospace applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37PM640 directly replace FCC17C37PM640?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector geometry (37 positions, 2 rows, Shell Size 4), termination method (solder cup), and electrical ratings (5A, 200V). The primary difference is product status and RoHS compliance. FCE17C37PM640 is the active equivalent from Amphenol ICC.

Q: What is the difference between HARTING 09670375604 and 09672375604?

A: Both are 37-position D-Sub solder cup plugs with identical shell size and geometry. The 09670375604 variant supports higher current (7.5A) and extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The 09672375604 variant is rated for 6.5A with standard temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C). Packaging differs: 09670375604 is supplied in Bulk; 09672375604 is supplied in Tray.

Q: Are HARTING parts compatible with the original FCC17C37PM640 footprint?

A: Yes. HARTING 09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375604, and 09672375615 maintain the same D-Sub Shell Size 4 (DC, C) geometry and solder cup termination. All are mechanically and electrically compatible with applications designed for the FCC17C37PM640.

Q: What is the significance of the M24308/3-4F military specification?

A: M24308/3-4F conforms to MIL-C-24308, a military connector standard. This part is suitable for legacy military and aerospace systems. The cadmium plating and RoHS non-compliance indicate this part is intended for established military applications rather than new commercial designs.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best RoHS compliance?

A: FCE17C37PM640, 09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375604, and 09672375615 are all RoHS compliant. FCE17C37PM640 and the HARTING variants (09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375604, 09672375615) meet current RoHS requirements. M24308/3-4F is RoHS non-compliant.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with higher current rating in place of the FCC17C37PM640?

A: Yes. Substitute parts with equal or higher current ratings are electrically compatible. HARTING variants rated for 6.5A or 7.5A can replace the 5A-rated FCC17C37PM640 without electrical degradation. The application circuit determines whether the higher rating is necessary or beneficial.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: FCE17C37PM640 packaging is not specified in the provided data. HARTING 09670375604 and 09670375615 are supplied in Bulk packaging. HARTING 09672375604 is supplied in Tray packaging. HARTING 09672375615 is supplied in Bulk packaging. M24308/3-4F is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on procurement and assembly requirements.
