Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalents (Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series):

The FCE17C37SC4EB, FCE17C37SC40B, FCE17C37SC41B, FCE17C37SC44B, FCE17C37SC45B, FCE17C37SC48B, FCE17C37SC49B, and FCE17C37SC4DB are functionally equivalent to the FCC17C37SC4EB across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. These parts are active products with RoHS compliance, addressing the regulatory and availability constraints of the obsolete FCC17C37SC4EB. The FCE17 series maintains identical connector geometry, contact specifications, and performance ratings. Selection among these equivalents should be based on specific application requirements and inventory availability.

Similar Alternatives (HARTING):

The HARTING 09644147232 and 09664127600 are similar D-Sub 37 position receptacles suitable for applications where the specific parameter variations are acceptable. These parts differ in backset spacing, contact material composition, dielectric material, and operating temperature range. The HARTING 09644147232 provides an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and higher current rating (7.5A) compared to the FCC17C37SC4EB. The HARTING 09664127600 offers a 6.5A current rating with extended temperature capability. Both HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. These alternatives are appropriate for new designs where the parameter differences align with application specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37SC4EB directly replace the FCC17C37SC4EB in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37SC4EB is a direct functional equivalent with identical connector geometry, electrical ratings, and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance. No design modifications are required for substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the multiple FCE17 variants (SC40B, SC41B, SC44B, SC45B, SC48B, SC49B, SC4DB)?

A: All FCE17 variants listed maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters as specified in the key parameters table. The alphanumeric suffix variations (40B, 41B, 44B, 45B, 48B, 49B, 4DB) represent internal manufacturing or configuration designations not reflected in the provided technical specifications. Selection among these variants should be based on inventory availability and supplier recommendations.

Q: Are the HARTING parts suitable replacements for the FCC17C37SC4EB?

A: The HARTING 09644147232 and 09664127600 are similar alternatives rather than direct equivalents. They share the same D-Sub 37 position receptacle configuration but differ in backset spacing (0.401" and 0.409" respectively versus 0.590"), contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C). These parts are suitable for new designs where the parameter differences are compatible with application requirements. Existing designs using the FCC17C37SC4EB may require PCB layout modifications to accommodate the different backset spacing.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting face to the contact insertion point. The FCC17C37SC4EB and all FCE17 variants use 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing. The HARTING alternatives use 0.401" (10.20mm) and 0.409" (10.40mm) respectively. This difference affects PCB layout and mating connector compatibility. Substitution with HARTING parts requires verification that mating connectors and PCB designs accommodate the different backset spacing.

Q: Why is the FCC17C37SC4EB classified as obsolete?

A: The FCC17C37SC4EB is an older product from the Amphenol ICC FCC17 series. The active FCE17 series represents the current product line offering equivalent functionality with modern compliance certifications including RoHS compliance. Amphenol ICC has transitioned manufacturing to the FCE17 series for ongoing support and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The Amphenol ICC FCE17 series parts are RoHS compliant. The HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant. The original FCC17C37SC4EB is RoHS non-compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the FCE17 or HARTING alternatives are appropriate selections.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: Both designations indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents the current iteration of the directive. Both compliance levels restrict the use of lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, and polybrominated diphenyl ethers. For practical purposes, both RoHS and ROHS3 compliant parts meet current regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Can the FCC17C37SC4EB be used in new designs?

A: The FCC17C37SC4EB is classified as obsolete. While 762 units are currently in stock, long-term availability is not assured. New designs should specify active products from the FCE17 series to ensure ongoing supply chain support and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Q: What is the contact finish thickness specification?

A: The contact finish thickness of 15.0µin (0.38µm) specifies the gold plating depth on the contact surfaces. This thickness ensures adequate electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for the 5A current rating and 200V voltage rating of the FCC17C37SC4EB and FCE17 equivalents. The HARTING alternatives do not specify contact finish thickness in the provided data.

Q: Are there any mechanical compatibility issues between the FCC17C37SC4EB and FCE17 equivalents?

A: No mechanical compatibility issues exist. Both series use identical shell size 4 (DC, C) configuration, 37 position layout, 2-row arrangement, through-hole right-angle mounting, board-side flange with 4-40 fasteners, and 0.590" backset spacing. PCB mounting holes and mating connector interfaces are fully compatible.
