Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (FCE17C37SC250, FCE17C37SC200, FCE17C37SC210, FCE17C37SC240, FCE17C37SC280, FCE17C37SC290, FCE17C37SC2D0, FCE17C37SC2E0)

The FCE17 series represents the direct active equivalent family to the obsolete FCC17C37SC250. All FCE17 variants maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications with the exception of voltage rating designation. All FCE17 parts are RoHS Compliant, addressing regulatory requirements that the original FCC17 part does not satisfy. These parts are manufactured by the same supplier (Amphenol ICC) and are recommended as primary substitutes for new designs and legacy system updates.

HARTING 09644147232

This HARTING D-Sub receptacle provides mechanical and electrical compatibility with enhanced current rating (7.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). The part features a threaded flange (4-40) and includes mounting brackets. ROHS3 Compliant status is provided. Backset spacing differs at 0.401" (10.20mm) compared to 0.590" (14.99mm) on the main part. This part is suitable for applications requiring higher thermal performance and current capacity.

HARTING 09664127600

This HARTING alternative provides mechanical compatibility with enhanced current rating (6.5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The part features an unthreaded flange and stamped contact form. Backset spacing is 0.409" (10.40mm). ROHS3 Compliant status is provided. This part is suitable for applications requiring improved thermal performance within a similar form factor.

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the FCE17 series is the recommended substitution path. For applications requiring extended temperature performance or higher current capacity, HARTING alternatives provide additional operational margins.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37SC250 directly replace the FCC17C37SC250 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37SC250 maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters: 37-position configuration, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right-angle mounting, 5A current rating, and -40°C ~ 85°C operating temperature. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status, which is an advantage for regulatory adherence.

Q: What is the difference between the various FCE17C37SC2XX part numbers?

A: All FCE17C37SC2XX variants (SC200, SC210, SC240, SC280, SC290, SC2D0, SC2E0) are parametrically equivalent. The suffix designations reflect internal manufacturing or configuration codes that do not alter the electrical or mechanical specifications provided in this reference. All maintain identical performance characteristics for substitution purposes.

Q: Are the HARTING parts (09644147232 and 09664127600) fully compatible with the FCC17C37SC250?

A: HARTING parts maintain mechanical compatibility in connector type, position count, shell size, mounting method, and termination. However, backset spacing differs: HARTING parts measure 0.401" to 0.409" compared to 0.590" on the Amphenol part. This spacing difference may affect PCB layout compatibility. HARTING parts offer enhanced current ratings and extended temperature ranges, making them suitable for applications with more demanding thermal or electrical requirements.

Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for this connector?

A: RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance indicates the part does not contain lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, or other restricted substances above specified thresholds. The original FCC17C37SC250 is RoHS non-compliant. All FCE17 substitutes are RoHS Compliant, and HARTING alternatives are ROHS3 Compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, compliant parts must be selected.

Q: Can I use a higher current-rated substitute in place of the 5A-rated FCC17C37SC250?

A: Yes. The HARTING 09644147232 (7.5A) and 09664127600 (6.5A) provide higher current capacity than the original 5A specification. Higher current ratings do not create incompatibility; they provide additional operational margin. However, backset spacing differences on HARTING parts require PCB layout verification.

Q: What is the significance of operating temperature range differences?

A: The FCC17C37SC250 operates from -40°C to 85°C. HARTING alternatives extend this range to -55°C to 125°C, providing performance in more extreme thermal environments. For applications operating within the original -40°C to 85°C range, all listed substitutes are suitable. For applications requiring extended temperature performance, HARTING parts are required.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The FCC17C37SC250 packaging is not specified in the reference data. FCE17 series parts are supplied in unspecified packaging. HARTING parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging differences do not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: What is backset spacing and why does it matter?

A: Backset spacing is the distance from the connector mounting face to the rear of the connector body. The FCC17C37SC250 has 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing. HARTING 09644147232 has 0.401" (10.20mm), and 09664127600 has 0.409" (10.40mm). Differences in backset spacing affect PCB layout and clearance requirements. Verify PCB design compatibility before substituting parts with different backset spacing.

Q: Which substitute should I select for a new design?

A: For new designs requiring RoHS compliance and identical specifications to the original part, select any FCE17C37SC2XX variant from Amphenol ICC. For applications requiring extended temperature performance (-55°C to 125°C) or higher current capacity, select HARTING 09644147232 or 09664127600, with verification of backset spacing compatibility.
