Number of rows (2)
Shell size and layout (4 / DC, C)
Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
Termination method (Solder)
Flange feature (Housing/Shell with 4-40 threading)
Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
Dielectric material composition (Thermoplastic-based)
Moisture sensitivity level (1 / Unlimited)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

Current rating (5A minimum)
Voltage rating (200V minimum)
Operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C minimum)
Contact finish (Gold plating)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Recommended Primary Substitutes)

The FCE17C37SA490, FCE17C37SA400, FCE17C37SA450, FCE17C37SA480, FCE17C37SA4D0, and FCE17C37SA4E0 are direct functional equivalents of the obsolete FCC17C37SA490. All FCE17 variants maintain identical mechanical dimensions, electrical ratings, and connector specifications. The primary advantage of FCE17 series parts is active product status and RoHS compliance, making them suitable for new designs and applications subject to environmental regulations. These parts are manufactured by the same supplier (Amphenol ICC) and are pin-compatible with the original FCC17C37SA490. The FCE17 series offers superior long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete FCC17 series.

HARTING Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives

HARTING part numbers 09664127600, 09664127601, 09664136602, and 09664526611 provide functional equivalence with design variations. These alternatives feature identical connector style, position count, and mounting configuration but differ in backset spacing (0.409" versus 0.318"), contact material (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze), and flange options. HARTING parts offer extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A), providing enhanced performance margins in demanding applications. HARTING alternatives are suitable for applications where backset spacing differences are accommodated by PCB layout modifications and where contact material substitution is acceptable. All HARTING alternatives carry ROHS3 compliance and active product status.

Compliance Considerations

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, FCE17 series or HARTING alternatives must be selected, as the original FCC17C37SA490 is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute options maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing and storage practices.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37SA490 directly replace FCC17C37SA490 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37SA490 is a direct functional equivalent with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. Pin configuration, mounting footprint, and electrical performance are equivalent. The primary difference is active product status and RoHS compliance of the FCE17 series.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17C37SA4XX variants?

A: All FCE17C37SA4XX variants (SA490, SA400, SA450, SA480, SA4D0, SA4E0) share identical mechanical and electrical specifications. Differences exist only in internal design or manufacturing process codes represented by the final characters. From an engineering substitution perspective, all variants are functionally equivalent and interchangeable.

Q: Are HARTING parts (09664127600, 09664127601, 09664136602, 09664526611) compatible with FCC17C37SA490?

A: HARTING parts provide functional equivalence with design variations. Backset spacing differs (0.409" versus 0.318"), requiring PCB layout verification. Contact material differs (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze), which may affect contact resistance and wear characteristics. Flange options vary by part number. HARTING alternatives are suitable for applications where these differences are acceptable and PCB modifications are feasible.

Q: What is backset spacing and why does it matter?

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the connector mounting face to the rear of the connector body. FCC17C37SA490 and FCE17 series have 0.318" (8.08mm) backset spacing, while HARTING alternatives have 0.409" (10.40mm). This difference affects PCB layout and component clearance. Substitution with different backset spacing requires PCB design review to ensure adequate clearance and proper connector seating.

Q: Can I use HARTING 09664127600 (unthreaded flange) instead of FCC17C37SA490 (4-40 threaded flange)?

A: No. The FCC17C37SA490 features a 4-40 threaded flange for mechanical fastening. HARTING 09664127600 has an unthreaded flange, which provides different mounting characteristics. If threaded flange mounting is required, use HARTING 09664136602 (4-40 threaded) or 09664127601 (M3 threaded) instead.

Q: What is the difference between HARTING 09664127601 (M3 flange) and 09664136602 (4-40 flange)?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent except for flange threading. HARTING 09664127601 features M3 metric threading, while 09664136602 features 4-40 UNC threading. Selection depends on the fastening standard used in the application. For direct replacement of FCC17C37SA490 (4-40 threaded), use 09664136602.

Q: Does HARTING 09664526611 include board lock feature?

A: Yes. HARTING 09664526611 includes board lock feature, matching the FCC17C37SA490 specification. Other HARTING alternatives (09664127600, 09664127601, 09664136602) do not specify board lock feature.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: FCE17 series parts are RoHS Compliant. HARTING alternatives (09664127600, 09664127601, 09664136602, 09664526611) are ROHS3 Compliant. The original FCC17C37SA490 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, select FCE17 or HARTING alternatives.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between FCC17C37SA490 and HARTING alternatives?

A: FCC17C37SA490 and FCE17 series operate from -40°C to 85°C. HARTING alternatives operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing extended temperature range. For applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 85°C, HARTING alternatives provide enhanced capability.

Q: Can I substitute based on current rating alone?

A: No. While HARTING alternatives offer higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A), substitution requires equivalence across all critical parameters including connector style, position count, shell size, mounting type, termination method, flange feature, and dielectric material. Current rating is a secondary consideration after mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute?

A: FCE17C37SA490 has 1042 pieces in stock. Other FCE17 variants range from 663 to 935 pieces. HARTING alternatives range from 718 to 1093 pieces. Inventory levels support immediate availability for production requirements.
