Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (FCE17C37SC29B, FCE17C37SC20B, FCE17C37SC21B, FCE17C37SC24B, FCE17C37SC25B, FCE17C37SC28B, FCE17C37SC2DB, FCE17C37SC2EB)

The FCE17 series represents the direct active equivalent to the obsolete FCC17C37SC29B. All FCE17 variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 37 positions, 2-row configuration, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right-angle solder termination, 5A current rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status: all FCE17 parts are RoHS Compliant, whereas the FCC17C37SC29B is RoHS non-compliant. The FCE17 series incorporates glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material compared to the standard thermoplastic in the original part. All FCE17 variants are in active production with current inventory availability.

HARTING Alternatives (09644147232, 09664127600)

HARTING D-Sub 37 position receptacles provide functional equivalence with notable parameter variations. Both HARTING parts maintain the 37-position, 2-row, shell size 4 (DC, C) configuration with through-hole right-angle solder termination. HARTING parts exceed the original specifications in current rating (7.5A for 09644147232, 6.5A for 09664127600 versus 5A) and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C). Both HARTING alternatives are ROHS3 Compliant and in active production. Backset spacing differs: 09644147232 specifies 0.401" (10.20mm) and 09664127600 specifies 0.409" (10.40mm), compared to 0.590" (14.99mm) for the original part. Contact material differs (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze) and contact finish specifications are not provided for HARTING parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37SC29B directly replace FCC17C37SC29B in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37SC29B maintains identical connector geometry, pin configuration, electrical ratings, and mechanical mounting specifications. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status and dielectric material composition (glass-filled thermoplastic versus standard thermoplastic). Both parts are rated for 5A at 200V with -40°C to 85°C operating temperature and feature identical backset spacing of 0.590" (14.99mm).

Q: What distinguishes the multiple FCE17 variants (SC20B, SC21B, SC24B, SC25B, SC28B, SC2DB, SC2EB)?

A: All FCE17 variants share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The suffix designation (SC20B through SC2EB) indicates internal design variations not reflected in the provided parameter data. All variants are functionally equivalent for substitution purposes and maintain active production status with current inventory.

Q: Are HARTING parts suitable substitutes for the FCC17C37SC29B?

A: HARTING 09644147232 and 09664127600 provide functional equivalence with important parameter differences. Both maintain the 37-position, 2-row D-Sub configuration with through-hole right-angle solder termination. However, backset spacing differs significantly (0.401" or 0.409" versus 0.590"), which may affect PCB layout compatibility. HARTING parts offer higher current ratings (6.5A to 7.5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Contact material composition differs (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze). Mechanical compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance in selecting a substitute?

A: The FCC17C37SC29B is RoHS non-compliant, while all FCE17 variants and HARTING alternatives are RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant. RoHS compliance status determines regulatory acceptability in applications subject to Restriction of Hazardous Substances directives. For new designs or applications with RoHS requirements, FCE17 or HARTING alternatives are mandatory. For legacy systems without RoHS requirements, the original FCC17C37SC29B remains functionally valid if inventory is available.

Q: How does dielectric material affect connector performance?

A: The FCC17C37SC29B uses standard thermoplastic dielectric material, while FCE17 variants incorporate glass-filled thermoplastic. Glass-filled formulations provide enhanced mechanical strength, improved dimensional stability, and superior thermal performance. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain identical electrical properties for signal transmission. The dielectric material change does not affect electrical compatibility or pin configuration.

Q: What inventory considerations apply to substitute selection?

A: Current inventory levels vary across substitute options. FCE17C37SC29B has 850 pieces in stock. Other FCE17 variants range from 736 to 959 pieces. HARTING 09644147232 has 715 pieces and 09664127600 has 930 pieces. For immediate procurement requirements, FCE17C37SC24B (959 pieces) and 09664127600 (930 pieces) offer highest availability. The original FCC17C37SC29B has 1034 pieces available but is obsolete.

Q: Are there mechanical mounting differences between substitute options?

A: All Amphenol ICC parts (FCC17 and FCE17 series) maintain identical mounting specifications: through-hole right-angle configuration with 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing and unthreaded housing/shell flange. HARTING 09644147232 features a 4-40 threaded flange with 0.401" (10.20mm) backset spacing and includes board lock feature. HARTING 09664127600 has unthreaded housing with 0.409" (10.40mm) backset spacing. PCB layout modifications may be required when substituting with HARTING alternatives due to backset spacing differences.

Q: What certifications and compliance standards apply to these connectors?

A: All parts meet UL94 V-0 material flammability requirements. ECCN classification is EAR99 for all parts. HTSUS code is 8536.69.4040 for all parts. Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) is 1 (Unlimited) for all parts, indicating no moisture sensitivity precautions required. RoHS compliance status varies: FCC17C37SC29B is non-compliant; FCE17 variants are RoHS Compliant; HARTING parts are ROHS3 Compliant. HARTING parts include REACH Unaffected status.
