Number of positions (37)
Number of rows (2)
Shell size and layout (4 / DC, C)
Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
Termination method (Solder)
Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
Current rating (5A minimum)
Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C minimum)

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series substitutes maintain full parametric equivalence with the obsolete FCC17C37SC240 across all critical dimensions and electrical characteristics. These parts are active products with RoHS compliance, offering direct form-fit-function replacement. Variations in the part number suffix (SC200, SC210, SC250, SC280, SC290, SC2D0, SC2E0) represent different connector configurations within the same series and are interchangeable based on specific application requirements.

HARTING Series alternatives provide functional equivalence with notable parameter variations. These parts maintain the 37-position D-Sub receptacle configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, and solder termination. However, they differ in backset spacing, current rating, voltage rating, contact material composition, and dielectric material specifications. Selection of HARTING alternatives requires confirmation that application requirements accommodate these parameter differences.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Recommended Primary Substitutes)

The FCE17C37SC240, FCE17C37SC200, FCE17C37SC210, FCE17C37SC250, FCE17C37SC280, FCE17C37SC290, FCE17C37SC2D0, and FCE17C37SC2E0 represent the optimal substitution path for the obsolete FCC17C37SC240. These parts maintain complete parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications, including connector configuration, current rating, operating temperature range, contact material, and backset spacing. All FCE17 variants are active products with RoHS compliance, providing regulatory advantage over the non-compliant FCC17 series. The FCE17 series incorporates thermoplastic glass-filled dielectric materials, enhancing mechanical robustness compared to the standard thermoplastic dielectric of the FCC17 series.

HARTING Alternatives (Conditional Substitutes)

The HARTING 09644147232 and 09664127600 connectors provide functional equivalence for applications where parameter variations are acceptable. These parts maintain the 37-position D-Sub receptacle configuration, through-hole right-angle mounting, and solder termination. However, critical differences exist:

Backset Spacing: HARTING parts feature reduced backset spacing (0.401" to 0.409") compared to the FCC17C37SC240 (0.590"), requiring PCB layout verification.
Current Rating: HARTING parts exceed the 5A rating (6.5A to 7.5A), providing margin for higher-current applications.
Operating Temperature: HARTING parts support extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) compared to FCC17C37SC240 (-40°C ~ 85°C), suitable for extreme environment applications.
Voltage Rating: HARTING 09644147232 specifies 100V, lower than the FCC17C37SC240 (200V).
Contact Material: HARTING parts use copper alloy contacts instead of phosphor bronze, affecting contact resistance and wear characteristics.

HARTING alternatives are ROHS3 compliant and suitable for applications where the parameter variations do not conflict with design requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37SC240 directly replace FCC17C37SC240 without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37SC240 maintains identical backset spacing (0.590" / 14.99mm), mounting type (through-hole right angle), and shell size (4 / DC, C) as the FCC17C37SC240. No PCB layout changes are required for direct substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17 part number suffixes (SC200, SC210, SC250, SC280, SC290, SC2D0, SC2E0)?

A: The suffix designations represent different connector configurations within the FCE17 series. All variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters relevant to substitution compatibility. Selection among these variants depends on specific application requirements not detailed in the parametric data provided.

Q: Are HARTING connectors compatible with existing PCB designs for FCC17C37SC240?

A: HARTING connectors require PCB layout verification due to backset spacing differences. The HARTING 09644147232 features 0.401" backset spacing, and the 09664127600 features 0.409" backset spacing, compared to 0.590" for the FCC17C37SC240. PCB hole patterns and component placement must be confirmed before substitution.

Q: What is the regulatory advantage of FCE17 series over FCC17 series?

A: The FCE17 series is RoHS compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components in many jurisdictions. The FCC17 series is RoHS non-compliant, limiting its use in new designs subject to RoHS directives.

Q: Can HARTING 09644147232 be used in applications requiring 200V operation?

A: No. The HARTING 09644147232 is rated for 100V maximum, while the FCC17C37SC240 is rated for 200V. Applications requiring 200V operation must use the FCC17C37SC240 or equivalent parts with 200V or higher voltage ratings.

Q: Are all substitute parts rated for the same current (5A)?

A: No. The Amphenol ICC FCE17 series maintains the 5A rating of the FCC17C37SC240. HARTING 09644147232 is rated for 7.5A, and HARTING 09664127600 is rated for 6.5A. Applications with current requirements exceeding 5A may benefit from HARTING alternatives, while applications with strict 5A specifications should use Amphenol ICC parts.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference between FCC17C37SC240 and HARTING alternatives?

A: The FCC17C37SC240 operates from -40°C to 85°C. HARTING connectors (09644147232 and 09664127600) operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing extended temperature capability for extreme environment applications.

Q: Do all substitute parts include board lock and filter features?

A: All Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants include board lock and filter features, matching the FCC17C37SC240. HARTING 09644147232 includes board lock, filter, and mounting brackets. HARTING 09664127600 does not specify these features in the provided data.

Q: What is the contact material difference between FCC17C37SC240 and HARTING alternatives?

A: The FCC17C37SC240 uses phosphor bronze contacts with gold plating (15.0µin thickness). HARTING alternatives use copper alloy contacts without specified plating. Contact material selection affects electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and wear characteristics.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels identical across all substitute parts?

A: Yes. All parts listed, including FCC17C37SC240 and all substitute options, are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling.
