This part features gold-plated brass contacts with higher contact finish thickness (50.0µin) compared to the original part. The M24308/3-4F is RoHS non-compliant and is suitable for military and aerospace applications requiring MIL-spec compliance. 1207 units are in stock.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37PM680 be used as a direct replacement for the FCC17C37PM680?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PM680 is manufactured by the same company (Amphenol ICC) and shares identical electrical and mechanical specifications with the FCC17C37PM680. The primary difference is that the FCE17C37PM680 is in active production status and is RoHS compliant, whereas the FCC17C37PM680 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

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

A: Both are 37-position D-Sub plug connectors with solder cup termination. The 09670375604 has a 7.5A current rating and operates from -55°C to 125°C, while the 09672375604 has a 6.5A current rating and operates from -40°C to 85°C. The 09670375604 uses machined contacts, while the 09672375604 uses stamped contacts. The 09672375604 is tray packaged, while the 09670375604 is bulk packaged.

Q: Are the HARTING connectors compatible with the original FCC17C37PM680 in terms of mechanical fit?

A: Yes. All substitute parts listed maintain the 37-position D-Sub shell size 4 (DC, C) configuration with free-hanging in-line mounting and solder cup termination. Mechanical compatibility is ensured across all listed substitutes.

Q: Can I use the M24308/3-4F in applications where RoHS compliance is required?

A: No. The M24308/3-4F is RoHS non-compliant. For RoHS-compliant applications, use the FCE17C37PM680, 09670375604, 09670375615, 09672375604, or 09672375615.

Q: What is the advantage of using a connector with a higher current rating than the original 5A specification?

A: Connectors with higher current ratings (such as the HARTING 09670375604 and 09670375615 at 7.5A) provide additional design margin and can accommodate future system upgrades without requiring connector replacement. However, the actual current capacity of the system is limited by the lowest-rated component in the circuit.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original FCC17C37PM680?

A: No. The original part packaging is not specified in the provided data. The HARTING 09670375604 is bulk packaged, 09670375615 is bulk packaged, 09672375604 is tray packaged, and 09672375615 is bulk packaged. Packaging selection should be based on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Which substitute part has the widest operating temperature range?

A: The M24308/3-4F has the widest operating temperature range at -65°C to 125°C. The HARTING 09670375604 and 09670375615 also provide an extended range of -55°C to 125°C. The FCE17C37PM680, 09672375604, and 09672375615 operate within the same range as the original part (-40°C to 85°C).

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

A: The M24308/3-4F is designed to military specifications (MIL-C-24308) and is suitable for military and aerospace applications. While it can be used in commercial applications, it is typically specified for applications requiring military-grade reliability and environmental performance. For standard commercial applications, the FCE17C37PM680 or HARTING alternatives are more cost-effective choices.
