Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: FCE17C37SC41B

The FCE17C37SC41B is the direct active equivalent of the obsolete FCC17C37SC41B. This Amphenol ICC part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 37 position receptacle configuration, through-hole right-angle solder termination, 5A current rating, 200V voltage rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The FCE17C37SC41B achieves RoHS compliance, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement. This part is classified as active with 1046 units in stock, ensuring supply continuity.

Secondary Recommendations: FCE17 Series Alternatives (FCE17C37SC40B, FCE17C37SC44B, FCE17C37SC45B, FCE17C37SC48B, FCE17C37SC49B, FCE17C37SC4DB, FCE17C37SC4EB)

All FCE17 series parts maintain identical core specifications to the FCC17C37SC41B. Differences exist only in shell finish designations (represented by the final character code in the part number). These parts are active products with RoHS compliance and represent functionally equivalent alternatives. Selection among these variants depends on specific shell finish requirements for the application.

Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives: HARTING Parts (09644147232, 09664127600)

HARTING D-Sub 37 position receptacles provide functional compatibility as through-hole right-angle solder termination connectors. These parts accommodate the same connector interface and PCB footprint. However, the following parameter variations require evaluation:

Backset Spacing Variation: HARTING parts feature reduced backset spacing (0.401" to 0.409") compared to Amphenol ICC parts (0.590"), affecting PCB layout compatibility.
Current Rating: HARTING parts support higher current ratings (6.5A to 7.5A) than the 5A specification of the main part.
Voltage Rating: HARTING 09644147232 specifies 100V, lower than the 200V rating of the main part.
Operating Temperature Range: HARTING parts support extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) compared to the -40°C to 85°C range of the main part.
Contact Finish: HARTING parts do not specify gold contact finish or contact finish thickness.
Flange Feature: HARTING parts feature housing/shell flange configurations rather than board side flange.

HARTING parts are suitable only when PCB layout accommodates the reduced backset spacing and when the application does not require the specific contact finish specifications of the main part.

Compliance Considerations:

The FCC17C37SC41B is RoHS non-compliant. All Amphenol ICC FCE17 series equivalents achieve RoHS compliance, supporting regulatory requirements for new designs. HARTING parts achieve ROHS3 compliance. Selection of RoHS-compliant alternatives is required for applications subject to RoHS directives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can FCE17C37SC41B directly replace FCC17C37SC41B in existing designs?

Yes. The FCE17C37SC41B is the direct active equivalent of the obsolete FCC17C37SC41B. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, including connector type, position count, mounting configuration, termination method, current rating, voltage rating, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is RoHS compliance status and active product availability. No design modifications are required for this substitution.

Q2: What is the difference between the various FCE17 series part numbers (SC40B, SC41B, SC44B, SC45B, SC48B, SC49B, SC4DB, SC4EB)?

The FCE17 series parts differ only in shell finish designations, represented by the final character code in the part number. All variants maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including 37 position receptacle configuration, through-hole right-angle solder termination, 5A current rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. Selection among these variants depends on specific shell finish requirements for the application. All are active products with RoHS compliance.

Q3: Can HARTING parts 09644147232 or 09664127600 be used as substitutes?

HARTING parts provide functional compatibility as 37 position D-Sub receptacles with through-hole right-angle solder termination. However, critical parameter differences exist. HARTING parts feature reduced backset spacing (0.401" to 0.409" versus 0.590"), which may affect PCB layout compatibility. Additionally, HARTING parts do not specify gold contact finish or contact finish thickness, and feature housing/shell flange configurations rather than board side flange. These parts are suitable only when PCB layout accommodates the reduced backset spacing and when the application does not require the specific contact finish specifications of the main part.

Q4: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference between FCC17C37SC41B and FCE17C37SC41B?

The FCC17C37SC41B is RoHS non-compliant, while the FCE17C37SC41B achieves RoHS compliance. RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliance is required for products sold in the European Union and for many applications subject to regulatory requirements. For new designs and procurement, RoHS-compliant alternatives such as the FCE17 series are required. The FCC17C37SC41B may only be used in applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated or for legacy system maintenance.

Q5: Are there any PCB layout considerations when substituting the FCC17C37SC41B?

For substitution with Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts, no PCB layout modifications are required. All FCE17 variants maintain identical backset spacing (0.590") and flange feature (board side 4-40) as the main part. If considering HARTING alternatives, PCB layout evaluation is required due to reduced backset spacing (0.401" to 0.409"), which may necessitate design modifications to accommodate the different connector positioning.

Q6: What is the inventory status of equivalent parts?

The FCE17C37SC41B (direct equivalent) has 1046 units in stock. Alternative FCE17 series parts have inventory ranging from 727 to 1119 units. HARTING alternatives have 715 to 930 units in stock. All parts are classified as active products with available inventory for procurement.

Q7: Do all substitute parts maintain the same current and voltage ratings?

Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts maintain the 5A current rating of the main part. Voltage rating is not specified for FCE17 variants, though the main part specifies 200V. HARTING parts support higher current ratings (6.5A to 7.5A) and lower voltage ratings (100V for 09644147232). Application requirements for current and voltage handling must be evaluated when selecting among alternatives.

Q8: What is the operating temperature range for substitute parts?

Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts maintain the -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range of the main part. HARTING parts support an extended temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. Selection depends on application temperature requirements.

Q9: Are the contact materials equivalent across all substitute options?

Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts maintain phosphor bronze contact material identical to the main part. HARTING parts specify copper alloy contact material. Contact material differences may affect electrical performance and corrosion resistance in specific applications.

Q10: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts are available in standard packaging. HARTING parts are available in bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on procurement volume and handling requirements.
