Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Recommended Primary Substitutes)

The FCE17C37SC640, FCE17C37SC600, FCE17C37SC610, FCE17C37SC650, FCE17C37SC680, FCE17C37SC690, FCE17C37SC6D0, and FCE17C37SC6E0 connectors are active production equivalents from Amphenol ICC. These parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications to the FCC17C37SC640 with the following distinctions:

All FCE17 variants are RoHS Compliant, whereas the FCC17C37SC640 is RoHS non-compliant. The dielectric material in FCE17 series is Thermoplastic, Glass Filled, compared to the base Thermoplastic in the FCC17C37SC640. These FCE17 variants are suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance and modern manufacturing standards. The FCE17C37SC690 offers the highest inventory availability at 1072 pieces.

HARTING Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives

The HARTING 09644147232 and 09664127600 connectors provide functional D-Sub receptacle solutions with the following considerations:

Part 09644147232 features a higher current rating of 7.5A (versus 5A), an extended operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C (versus -40°C ~ 85°C), and includes mounting brackets. However, this part has a reduced backset spacing of 0.401" (10.20mm) compared to 0.590" (14.99mm), a lower voltage rating of 100V (versus 200V), and uses a different flange feature (4-40 versus M3).

Part 09664127600 features a current rating of 6.5A and an extended operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C. This part has a slightly reduced backset spacing of 0.409" (10.40mm) and uses an unthreaded flange feature. Contact finish specifications are not provided for HARTING parts.

Selection Criteria:

For direct replacement in existing designs, the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series provides the closest functional equivalence with identical mechanical interfaces and electrical ratings. Selection among FCE17 variants depends on specific application requirements regarding dielectric material composition and inventory availability.

HARTING alternatives are suitable only when the mechanical interface differences (backset spacing and flange feature) are compatible with the application and when the extended operating temperature range provides additional design margin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37SC640 directly replace the FCC17C37SC640 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37SC640 maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, current rating, operating temperature range, and backset spacing. The primary differences are RoHS compliance status and dielectric material composition (glass-filled thermoplastic versus standard thermoplastic). These differences do not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference between FCC17 and FCE17 series?

A: The FCC17C37SC640 is RoHS non-compliant, while all FCE17 variants are RoHS Compliant. RoHS compliance indicates the connector meets restrictions on hazardous substances as defined by EU Directive 2011/65/EU. For applications subject to RoHS requirements or for new designs, FCE17 series parts are the appropriate selection.

Q: Are all FCE17 variants electrically and mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. All FCE17 variants (FCE17C37SC640, FCE17C37SC600, FCE17C37SC610, FCE17C37SC650, FCE17C37SC680, FCE17C37SC690, FCE17C37SC6D0, and FCE17C37SC6E0) maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The part number suffix variations reflect internal design or manufacturing process differences that do not affect external form, fit, or function. Selection among these variants may be based on inventory availability.

Q: What are the key mechanical differences between Amphenol ICC and HARTING D-Sub receptacles?

A: The primary mechanical differences are backset spacing and flange feature design. Amphenol ICC parts maintain 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing with M3 threaded flanges, while HARTING 09644147232 uses 0.401" (10.20mm) spacing with 4-40 flanges, and HARTING 09664127600 uses 0.409" (10.40mm) spacing with unthreaded flanges. These differences affect PCB layout and mounting bracket compatibility. Direct substitution requires verification of mechanical interface compatibility.

Q: Can HARTING parts be used as substitutes for Amphenol ICC connectors?

A: HARTING parts provide functional D-Sub receptacle capability but require mechanical interface verification. The reduced backset spacing in HARTING parts (0.401" or 0.409" versus 0.590") may not be compatible with existing PCB layouts designed for Amphenol ICC connectors. Additionally, HARTING parts feature different flange designs (4-40 or unthreaded versus M3 threaded). Substitution is possible only when the mechanical interface differences are accommodated in the application design.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness specifications?

A: Contact finish thickness of 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold plating on Amphenol ICC parts ensures consistent electrical contact resistance and corrosion protection. HARTING parts do not specify contact finish thickness. For applications requiring defined contact resistance or corrosion protection specifications, Amphenol ICC parts with specified gold plating thickness are the appropriate selection.

Q: How do operating temperature ranges affect part selection?

A: The FCC17C37SC640 and all FCE17 variants operate from -40°C to 85°C. HARTING parts 09644147232 and 09664127600 operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing extended temperature capability. For applications requiring operation outside the -40°C to 85°C range, HARTING alternatives provide additional thermal margin. However, mechanical interface compatibility must be verified before substitution.

Q: What inventory considerations should guide part selection?

A: Current inventory levels are: FCC17C37SC640 (807 pcs), FCE17C37SC690 (1072 pcs), FCE17C37SC650 (933 pcs), 09664127600 (930 pcs), 09644147232 (715 pcs), FCE17C37SC640 (828 pcs), FCE17C37SC600 (825 pcs), FCE17C37SC610 (818 pcs), FCE17C37SC680 (740 pcs), FCE17C37SC6D0 (689 pcs), and FCE17C37SC6E0 (670 pcs). For applications requiring immediate availability, FCE17C37SC690 offers the highest inventory level among active Amphenol ICC equivalents.

Q: Are there any compliance certifications that differ between substitute parts?

A: All parts listed carry UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity levels. Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants are RoHS Compliant, while the FCC17C37SC640 is RoHS non-compliant. HARTING parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. For applications subject to specific regulatory requirements, compliance certifications should be verified against application specifications.
