Engineering Selection Recommendations
Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series
The FCE17C37SA690, FCE17C37SA600, FCE17C37SA610, FCE17C37SA640, FCE17C37SA650, FCE17C37SA680, FCE17C37SA6D0, and FCE17C37SA6E0 represent the direct active production equivalents to the obsolete FCC17C37SA690. These parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications with the original part. All FCE17 variants are RoHS compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the original part does not meet. These parts are recommended as the primary substitution path for new designs and field replacements where RoHS compliance is required.
Secondary Recommendation: HARTING 09664127600 and 09664127601
The HARTING alternatives (09664127600 and 09664127601) provide functional equivalence with the following considerations:
- Both parts feature higher current ratings (6.5A versus 5A), providing additional margin for applications with variable load conditions.
- Both parts support an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C), suitable for applications requiring broader thermal performance.
- The 09664127601 includes M3 threaded flange mounting, matching the original part specification.
- The 09664127600 features unthreaded flange mounting, requiring alternative mounting methods.
- Both parts feature stamped contact form versus machined contacts in the original part, with copper alloy material versus phosphor bronze.
- Backset spacing differs (0.409" versus 0.318"), requiring PCB layout verification before substitution.
The HARTING alternatives are suitable for applications where design flexibility permits accommodation of these parameter variations and where extended thermal or current performance is beneficial.
Compliance Considerations
All substitute parts listed are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant, addressing environmental and regulatory requirements. The original FCC17C37SA690 is RoHS non-compliant. Selection of substitute parts should account for system-level compliance requirements and regulatory jurisdiction.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the FCE17C37SA690 be used as a direct replacement for the FCC17C37SA690?
A: Yes. The FCE17C37SA690 is the direct active production equivalent manufactured by Amphenol ICC. It maintains identical specifications for connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, contact material, and electrical ratings. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status and glass-filled dielectric material composition. No design modifications are required for substitution.
Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17C37SA variants (SA690, SA600, SA610, SA640, SA650, SA680, SA6D0, SA6E0)?
A: All FCE17C37SA variants share identical mechanical and electrical specifications. The alphanumeric suffix designates internal configuration or packaging variations not specified in the provided parameters. All variants are functionally equivalent for connector interface purposes and are interchangeable from a mechanical and electrical standpoint.
Q: Can HARTING parts 09664127600 or 09664127601 be used as direct replacements?
A: These HARTING parts provide functional equivalence with parameter variations that require engineering evaluation. The backset spacing differs (0.409" versus 0.318"), necessitating PCB layout verification. The 09664127600 features unthreaded flange mounting versus M3 threaded mounting in the original part. Contact form differs (stamped versus machined). These parts are suitable for applications where design flexibility permits accommodation of these variations.
Q: What is backset spacing and why does it matter?
A: Backset spacing is the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the solder contact termination points. The original FCC17C37SA690 specifies 0.318" (8.08mm), while HARTING alternatives specify 0.409" (10.40mm). This dimension is critical for PCB layout design. Substitution with different backset spacing requires verification that the connector will properly seat on the PCB and that solder contact points align with PCB pads.
Q: Are the FCE17 series parts pin-compatible with the FCC17C37SA690?
A: Yes. The FCE17 series maintains identical pin configuration, position count (37), row arrangement (2 rows), and shell size (4 DC, C). Pin-to-pin compatibility is assured for all FCE17 variants.
Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for connector selection?
A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance indicates that the part does not contain restricted materials including lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, or polybrominated diphenyl ethers above specified thresholds. The original FCC17C37SA690 is RoHS non-compliant. All FCE17 variants and HARTING alternatives are RoHS or ROHS3 compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for products sold in jurisdictions with RoHS mandates.
Q: Can the FCC17C37SA690 be used in new product designs?
A: The FCC17C37SA690 is classified as obsolete. While existing inventory may be available, new product designs should specify active production equivalents such as the FCE17C37SA690 or other active alternatives to ensure long-term component availability and supply chain continuity.
Q: What is the difference between machined and stamped contact forms?
A: Machined contacts (original part) are individually formed from solid material, providing precise geometry and consistent contact pressure characteristics. Stamped contacts (HARTING alternatives) are formed from sheet material through stamping processes, offering cost efficiency with acceptable performance for many applications. Both contact forms meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and support the specified current ratings.
Q: Are there inventory considerations for substitute part selection?
A: Yes. Current inventory levels vary across substitute parts. FCE17C37SA690 has 999 units in stock. Other FCE17 variants range from 747 to 988 units. HARTING 09664127600 has 930 units and 09664127601 has 1093 units. Inventory availability should be considered in procurement planning, particularly for high-volume applications.
Q: What operating temperature range should be specified for connector selection?
A: The original FCC17C37SA690 operates from -40°C to 85°C. All FCE17 variants maintain this temperature range. HARTING alternatives support -55°C to 125°C, providing extended thermal performance. Application requirements should determine whether the standard -40°C to 85°C range is sufficient or whether extended thermal performance is necessary.
Q: Can the connector be used in applications requiring 200V operation?
A: The original FCC17C37SA690 is rated for 200V. The FCE17 variants do not specify voltage rating in the provided parameters. HARTING alternatives do not specify voltage rating. For applications requiring 200V operation, the original part specification should be verified with the connector manufacturer or engineering documentation before substitution.
