Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17C37SB6DB, FCE17C37SB60B, FCE17C37SB61B, FCE17C37SB64B, FCE17C37SB65B, FCE17C37SB68B, FCE17C37SB69B, and FCE17C37SB6EB represent the direct active equivalents from Amphenol ICC. All eight parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications to the obsolete FCC17C37SB6DB across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: all FCE17 variants are active, whereas the FCC17C37SB6DB is obsolete. Additionally, all FCE17 series parts are RoHS Compliant, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. These parts are recommended for new designs and ongoing production requiring compliance with current environmental regulations.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING Alternatives

The HARTING parts 09644147232 and 09664127600 provide functional alternatives with the following considerations:

The 09644147232 offers a higher current rating (7.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). However, it features a different flange configuration (Housing/Shell 4-40 versus Board Side M3), different contact material (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze), and different dielectric material (PCT versus Thermoplastic, Glass Filled). The voltage rating is 100V, lower than the original 200V specification.

The 09664127600 provides a current rating of 6.5A and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). It features an unthreaded housing/shell flange, stamped contact form, and different dielectric material (PBT, Polyester, Glass Filled). Voltage rating is not specified.

Both HARTING options are ROHS3 Compliant and active products. Selection of HARTING alternatives requires design validation due to parameter differences in flange configuration, contact material, and dielectric composition.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why is the FCC17C37SB6DB classified as obsolete?

A: The FCC17C37SB6DB is an older product line from Amphenol ICC. The manufacturer has transitioned to the active FCE17 series, which maintains functional equivalence while offering improved compliance status (RoHS Compliant) and continued production support.

Q: Can I directly substitute an FCE17 series part for the FCC17C37SB6DB?

A: Yes. All FCE17 series parts listed (FCE17C37SB6DB, FCE17C37SB60B, FCE17C37SB61B, FCE17C37SB64B, FCE17C37SB65B, FCE17C37SB68B, FCE17C37SB69B, FCE17C37SB6EB) are direct functional equivalents. They maintain identical specifications for connector style, position count, shell size, mounting type, termination method, current rating, operating temperature, and flammability rating. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17C37SB variants?

A: The FCE17C37SB variants differ in their suffix designations (6DB, 60B, 61B, 64B, 65B, 68B, 69B, 6EB), which typically indicate internal configuration or manufacturing process variations. All variants maintain identical external specifications and are functionally interchangeable for the parameters specified in this reference.

Q: Can I use a HARTING part as a substitute?

A: HARTING parts 09644147232 and 09664127600 are mechanically and functionally similar but differ in several parameters. The 09644147232 has a different flange type (Housing/Shell 4-40 versus Board Side M3), different contact material (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze), and lower voltage rating (100V versus 200V). The 09664127600 has an unthreaded housing/shell flange and stamped contacts. These differences require design validation before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference in HARTING parts?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting surface to the rear of the connector body. The FCC17C37SB6DB specifies 0.405" (10.29mm). The HARTING 09644147232 specifies 0.401" (10.20mm), and the 09664127600 specifies 0.409" (10.40mm). These minor variations may affect PCB layout and mechanical clearance. Verification against specific board design requirements is necessary.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The FCE17 series parts are RoHS Compliant. The HARTING parts are ROHS3 Compliant. The original FCC17C37SB6DB is RoHS non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is a design requirement, FCE17 or HARTING alternatives must be selected.

Q: What is the difference between machined and stamped contact forms?

A: Contact form refers to the manufacturing method of the connector contacts. Machined contacts (used in FCC17C37SB6DB, FCE17 variants, and HARTING 09644147232) are individually cut from solid material, typically offering higher precision and durability. Stamped contacts (used in HARTING 09664127600) are formed from sheet material, generally offering cost advantages but potentially different electrical and mechanical characteristics. The original part uses machined contacts.

Q: Can I mix FCC17 and FCE17 series parts in the same assembly?

A: Yes. FCC17C37SB6DB and FCE17 series parts are mechanically and electrically compatible and can be used interchangeably in the same assembly. However, mixing RoHS non-compliant (FCC17) and RoHS compliant (FCE17) parts may create compliance documentation complexity. Standardization on a single series is recommended for production consistency.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute?

A: Inventory levels vary by part number. FCE17C37SB6EB has the highest inventory at 1103 pieces. FCE17C37SB6DB has 1018 pieces. Other FCE17 variants range from 698 to 973 pieces. HARTING 09644147232 has 715 pieces, and 09664127600 has 930 pieces. Inventory levels are subject to change and should be verified at time of procurement.
