Engineering Selection Recommendations
Primary Substitutes (Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series)
The FCE17C37SB68B, FCE17C37SB60B, FCE17C37SB61B, FCE17C37SB64B, FCE17C37SB65B, FCE17C37SB69B, FCE17C37SB6DB, and FCE17C37SB6EB represent the direct series evolution from the obsolete FCC17C37SB68B. All FCE17 variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across the critical parameters: 37 positions, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right-angle solder termination, 5A current rating, gold contact finish at 15.0µin thickness, steel tin-plated shell, board-side M3 flange, and 0.405" backset spacing. All FCE17 variants are active products with RoHS compliance, addressing the obsolescence and regulatory status of the original part.
Secondary Substitutes (HARTING Components)
The HARTING part numbers 09644147232 and 09664127600 provide functional alternatives with the following considerations:
09644147232 maintains the 37-position D-Sub receptacle configuration with through-hole right-angle solder termination and board-side flange. This part features a higher current rating (7.5A versus 5A), extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C), and ROHS3 compliance. The backset spacing is 0.401" (10.20mm), which differs marginally from the 0.405" specification of the main part.
09664127600 similarly provides 37-position D-Sub receptacle functionality with through-hole right-angle solder termination. This part features a 6.5A current rating and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The backset spacing is 0.409" (10.40mm), representing a tolerance variation from the main part specification. The flange feature is housing/shell unthreaded, differing from the board-side M3 configuration.
Selection Guidance
For direct replacement in existing designs without modification, the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series substitutes are preferred due to identical mechanical and electrical specifications. Selection among FCE17 variants should be based on inventory availability and specific application requirements.
HARTING alternatives are suitable for new designs or applications where the extended operating temperature range and higher current ratings provide system benefits. Mechanical integration differences, particularly in flange configuration and backset spacing, require design review prior to implementation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can the FCE17C37SB68B directly replace the obsolete FCC17C37SB68B without PCB modification?
A: Yes. The FCE17C37SB68B maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications, including mounting type, flange configuration, backset spacing, and all electrical parameters. Direct substitution on existing PCBs is supported.
Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17C37 part numbers (SB60B, SB61B, SB64B, SB65B, SB69B, SB6DB, SB6EB)?
A: All FCE17C37 variants share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across the parameters provided. The suffix designations reflect internal manufacturing or configuration variations not detailed in the provided specifications. Selection can be based on inventory availability and lead time.
Q: Are the HARTING parts (09644147232 and 09664127600) direct replacements?
A: The HARTING parts provide functional equivalence for 37-position D-Sub receptacle applications with through-hole right-angle solder termination. However, they differ in backset spacing (0.401" and 0.409" respectively versus 0.405" for the main part) and flange configuration. These differences may require PCB layout verification. The HARTING parts offer extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C) and higher current ratings (7.5A and 6.5A respectively), which may benefit certain applications.
Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?
A: The original FCC17C37SB68B is RoHS non-compliant, while all FCE17 variants and HARTING alternatives are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the compliant alternatives are mandatory. For legacy systems without regulatory constraints, either compliant or non-compliant parts may be acceptable depending on organizational policy.
Q: How do the current ratings of HARTING parts (7.5A and 6.5A) compare to the main part (5A)?
A: The HARTING parts have higher current ratings, indicating greater current-carrying capacity. In applications where the original 5A rating is sufficient, the higher-rated HARTING parts provide additional margin. However, the higher ratings do not indicate superior performance in 5A applications; they simply reflect different design specifications. Selection should be based on actual application current requirements.
Q: What is the impact of the extended operating temperature range in HARTING parts (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C)?
A: The HARTING parts support operation across a wider temperature range. For applications operating within the original -40°C to 85°C range, both the original and HARTING specifications are adequate. For applications requiring extended temperature operation, the HARTING parts provide necessary capability.
Q: Are there any compliance certifications that differ between substitutes?
A: All parts listed carry UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings and are classified under HTSUS 8536.69.4040. RoHS and REACH compliance status varies: the original part is RoHS non-compliant; FCE17 variants are RoHS compliant; HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1, unlimited) is consistent across all parts.
Q: Can I use multiple substitute parts interchangeably within the same assembly?
A: Yes, within the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series, all variants are interchangeable due to identical specifications. Mixing HARTING parts with Amphenol ICC parts in the same assembly requires design verification due to backset spacing and flange configuration differences. Consistent part selection within an assembly is recommended to avoid integration issues.
