FCC17C37SA4DB D-Sub 37 Position Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCC17C37SA4DB is a 37 position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This through-hole, right-angle solder termination connector features female sockets with a 4 (DC, C) shell size layout and board-side flange mounting. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent and substitute components for ongoing design and procurement requirements. Equivalent parts maintain functional compatibility while substitute parts offer alternative configurations within the same connector category.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Equivalent: FCE17C37SA4DB (Amphenol ICC) is the direct active equivalent to the obsolete FCC17C37SA4DB. Both parts share identical connector specifications, mounting configuration, and electrical ratings. The FCE17C37SA4DB differs only in flange feature location (Housing/Shell versus Board Side) and RoHS compliance status (RoHS Compliant versus RoHS non-compliant). This part is recommended for direct replacement in new designs and legacy system updates.

Secondary Equivalents: HARTING D-Sub 37 position receptacle connectors (09644147232, 09664127600, 09664127601, 09664136602, 09664526611, 09664527610, 09664527611, 09664536611, 09664536612) provide functional substitution with enhanced electrical performance and extended operating temperature ranges. All HARTING substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and rated for -55°C ~ 125°C operation, compared to the original part's -40°C ~ 85°C range. Current ratings range from 6.5A to 7.5A, exceeding the original 5A specification.

Compliance Considerations: The original FCC17C37SA4DB is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, FCE17C37SA4DB (RoHS Compliant) or any HARTING substitute (ROHS3 Compliant) must be selected. HARTING substitutes additionally carry REACH Unaffected status.

Flange Configuration Selection: Flange feature variations exist across substitute options. Board-side flange (4-40) is available in FCE17C37SA4DB and 09664136602. Housing/Shell flange options include 4-40 (09644147232, 09664536612), M3 (09664127601, 09664527611, 09664536611), and Unthreaded (09664127600, 09664527610). Selection depends on PCB mounting hole specifications and mechanical assembly requirements.

Feature Considerations: Filter and mounting bracket features are standard across all parts. Board lock features are available in HARTING parts 09664526611, 09664527610, 09664527611, 09664536611, and 09664536612, providing enhanced mechanical retention where required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37SA4DB directly replace FCC17C37SA4DB in existing assemblies? A: FCE17C37SA4DB maintains full functional compatibility with FCC17C37SA4DB. Both are 37-position D-Sub receptacles with identical connector type, shell size, mounting configuration, and solder termination. The primary difference is flange location and RoHS compliance status. Physical board mounting hole patterns must be verified to confirm compatibility with the specific flange configuration.

Q: What is the difference between board-side and housing/shell flange mounting? A: Board-side flange (FCC17C37SA4DB, FCE17C37SA4DB) positions the mounting holes on the connector body adjacent to the PCB surface. Housing/shell flange (HARTING parts) positions mounting holes on the connector shell itself. Selection depends on PCB layout and mechanical assembly design. Mounting hole thread specifications (4-40, M3, or Unthreaded) must match PCB hole patterns.

Q: Are HARTING substitutes electrically compatible with the original Amphenol part? A: HARTING D-Sub 37 position receptacles are electrically compatible. All maintain the same connector style, position count, shell size, and solder termination. HARTING parts provide equal or superior electrical performance with higher current ratings (6.5A to 7.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C).

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance for this connector? A: RoHS compliance restricts hazardous substances in electrical equipment. The original FCC17C37SA4DB is RoHS non-compliant. FCE17C37SA4DB is RoHS Compliant, and all HARTING substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, compliant alternatives must be selected.

Q: How do contact material differences affect performance? A: The original part uses Phosphor Bronze contacts with gold finish (15.0µin thickness). HARTING substitutes use Copper Alloy contacts with unspecified finish. Both materials are suitable for signal-level applications. Contact finish thickness is not specified for HARTING parts. For applications requiring specific contact resistance or corrosion resistance characteristics, contact material and finish specifications should be confirmed with the manufacturer.

Q: What is the difference between machined and stamped contact forms? A: Contact form refers to manufacturing method. Machined contacts (FCC17C37SA4DB, 09644147232) are individually formed, typically providing tighter tolerances and consistent performance. Stamped contacts (HARTING parts 09664127600 and later) are mass-produced from sheet material, offering cost efficiency while maintaining functional specifications. Both forms are suitable for signal applications within the specified electrical ratings.

Q: Can I use a HARTING part with board lock feature in place of the original part? A: Board lock features (09664526611, 09664527610, 09664527611, 09664536611, 09664536612) provide enhanced mechanical retention through locking mechanisms. These parts are functionally compatible with the original FCC17C37SA4DB. Board lock features do not affect electrical performance and can be used as direct substitutes. However, mating connector compatibility should be verified to ensure proper engagement with the locking mechanism.

Q: What are the backset spacing differences, and do they affect compatibility? A: Backset spacing is the distance from the connector mounting surface to the rear of the connector body. The original part specifies 0.318" (8.08mm). HARTING substitutes specify 0.401" to 0.409" (10.20mm to 10.40mm). These differences affect PCB layout and enclosure clearance requirements. Backset spacing must be verified against mechanical design constraints before part selection.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging as the original? A: The original FCC17C37SA4DB packaging is not specified. FCE17C37SA4DB packaging is also not specified. HARTING substitutes are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging requirements for production quantities should be confirmed with the supplier.
