Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Direct Equivalents)

The FCE17C37SC210, FCE17C37SC200, FCE17C37SC240, FCE17C37SC250, FCE17C37SC280, FCE17C37SC290, FCE17C37SC2D0, and FCE17C37SC2E0 represent the primary substitution path for the obsolete FCC17C37SC210. All eight variants are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) and maintain active product status. These parts share identical core specifications: 37-position receptacle configuration, 2-row layout, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, steel tin-plated shell, gold-plated contacts, 5A current rating, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range.

The critical distinction between the FCC17 series (obsolete) and FCE17 series (active) is RoHS compliance status. All FCE17 variants are RoHS compliant, whereas the original FCC17C37SC210 is RoHS non-compliant. The FCE17 series incorporates glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material, enhancing mechanical and thermal properties compared to the unfilled thermoplastic of the original part. Voltage rating information is not specified for FCE17 variants in available documentation.

HARTING Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives

The HARTING 09644147232 and 09664127600 connectors provide cross-manufacturer substitution options. Both maintain the 37-position, 2-row D-Sub receptacle configuration with through-hole right-angle solder termination and shell size 4 (DC, C) layout. Both are ROHS3 compliant and UL94 V-0 rated.

The HARTING 09644147232 features a 4-40 threaded flange (versus unthreaded housing), 7.5A current rating, 100V voltage rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. The HARTING 09664127600 maintains an unthreaded housing flange, 6.5A current rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Both HARTING parts employ stamped or machined contact forms and copper alloy contact material, differing from the phosphor bronze contacts of the Amphenol parts. Backset spacing differs: HARTING parts specify 0.401" (10.20mm) or 0.409" (10.40mm) versus the 0.590" (14.99mm) of the FCC17C37SC210.

Selection Basis

For applications requiring direct form-fit-function replacement with identical backset spacing and contact material, the Amphenol FCE17 series is the appropriate selection. For applications where extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and higher current capacity are beneficial, HARTING alternatives provide viable substitution, subject to mechanical compatibility verification of backset spacing and flange configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37SC210 directly replace the FCC17C37SC210 in existing designs?

A: The FCE17C37SC210 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications for connector style, position count, shell size, mounting type, termination method, current rating, and operating temperature range. The primary differences are RoHS compliance status (FCE17 is compliant; FCC17 is non-compliant) and dielectric material composition (FCE17 uses glass-filled thermoplastic; FCC17 uses unfilled thermoplastic). Direct substitution is supported for applications where RoHS compliance is required or beneficial.

Q: What is the difference between the multiple FCE17C37SC2XX variants?

A: The FCE17C37SC210, FCE17C37SC200, FCE17C37SC240, FCE17C37SC250, FCE17C37SC280, FCE17C37SC290, FCE17C37SC2D0, and FCE17C37SC2E0 are all Amphenol ICC FCE17 series 37-position D-Sub receptacles with identical core specifications. The alphanumeric suffix variations (210, 200, 240, 250, 280, 290, 2D0, 2E0) indicate internal configuration or feature differences not detailed in the provided specifications. All eight variants are electrically and mechanically equivalent for the parameters specified.

Q: Why do HARTING parts have different backset spacing than the Amphenol parts?

A: Backset spacing (the distance from the rear of the connector shell to the solder contact plane) is a design parameter that varies by manufacturer. The FCC17C37SC210 and FCE17 series specify 0.590" (14.99mm), while HARTING 09644147232 specifies 0.401" (10.20mm) and HARTING 09664127600 specifies 0.409" (10.40mm). This difference affects PCB layout and mechanical fit. HARTING parts are suitable for substitution only when backset spacing compatibility is confirmed for the target application.

Q: Are the HARTING connectors compatible with the same mating plugs as the Amphenol parts?

A: Both Amphenol and HARTING parts conform to the D-Sub 37-position, 2-row, shell size 4 (DC, C) standard. Mating compatibility depends on adherence to standard pin spacing and shell geometry. However, differences in backset spacing, flange configuration (threaded versus unthreaded), and contact material may affect mechanical fit and electrical performance in specific applications. Mechanical compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the gold contact finish thickness specification?

A: The contact finish thickness of 15.0µin (0.38µm) specified for the FCC17C37SC210 and FCE17 series defines the plating layer depth over the base contact material (phosphor bronze). This thickness ensures adequate corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity over the connector's operational life. HARTING parts do not specify contact finish thickness in the provided data, indicating either different plating specifications or unstated values. Contact finish thickness should be confirmed for HARTING alternatives if corrosion resistance is a critical design requirement.

Q: Can the FCC17C37SC210 be used in new designs, or must substitution occur?

A: The FCC17C37SC210 is classified as obsolete. While 1039 pieces are currently in stock, procurement for new production quantities may be limited or unavailable. New designs should incorporate active product alternatives from the FCE17 series to ensure long-term supply chain continuity and compliance with current regulatory standards (RoHS).

Q: What is the difference between RoHS non-compliant and RoHS compliant status?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance indicates that the component does not contain lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, or bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate above specified thresholds. The FCC17C37SC210 is RoHS non-compliant, while all FCE17 variants are RoHS compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, RoHS-compliant alternatives are mandatory.

Q: How do operating temperature ranges affect connector selection?

A: The FCC17C37SC210 and FCE17 series support -40°C to 85°C operation. HARTING alternatives support -55°C to 125°C. For applications operating outside the -40°C to 85°C range, HARTING connectors provide extended temperature capability. However, extended temperature range does not automatically indicate superior performance within the standard range; selection should be based on actual application requirements.

Q: What does "Board Lock" feature mean?

A: Board Lock is a mechanical feature that secures the connector to the PCB, preventing accidental disconnection or rotation during assembly, handling, or operation. Both the FCC17C37SC210 and all substitute parts specified include Board Lock functionality.

Q: What does "Filter" feature mean?

A: Filter refers to integrated electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI) filtering within the connector housing. This feature reduces conducted and radiated emissions. Both the FCC17C37SC210 and all Amphenol substitute parts include Filter functionality. HARTING 09644147232 also includes Filter; HARTING 09664127600 does not specify this feature.
