Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17C37SC680, FCE17C37SC600, FCE17C37SC610, FCE17C37SC640, FCE17C37SC650, FCE17C37SC690, FCE17C37SC6D0, and FCE17C37SC6E0 represent the optimal substitutes for the obsolete FCC17C37SC680. All FCE17 variants maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters including connector geometry, position count, mounting configuration, current rating, operating temperature range, and flammability certification. These parts are manufactured by the same supplier (Amphenol ICC) and are classified as Active products.

The FCE17 series provides significant compliance advantages over the original part. All variants are RoHS Compliant, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and applications subject to RoHS directives. The dielectric material composition differs (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled vs. Thermoplastic), which does not affect functional compatibility for standard signal applications.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING Alternatives

The HARTING parts 09644147232 and 09664127600 provide functional substitution for applications where parameter variations are acceptable. These alternatives differ in backset spacing (0.401" and 0.409" respectively versus 0.590"), current rating (7.5A and 6.5A versus 5A), and contact material (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze). HARTING parts offer extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C) and ROHS3 compliance. Selection of HARTING alternatives requires confirmation that the specified parameter variations do not conflict with application requirements.

Compliance Considerations

For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the Amphenol ICC FCE17 series is mandatory. The original FCC17C37SC680 is RoHS non-compliant and unsuitable for new designs in regulated markets. HARTING alternatives provide ROHS3 compliance, which exceeds RoHS requirements.

Inventory Availability

Current stock levels for active substitutes are: FCE17C37SC680 (740 pcs), FCE17C37SC600 (825 pcs), FCE17C37SC610 (818 pcs), FCE17C37SC640 (828 pcs), FCE17C37SC650 (933 pcs), FCE17C37SC690 (1072 pcs), FCE17C37SC6D0 (689 pcs), FCE17C37SC6E0 (670 pcs), 09644147232 (715 pcs), and 09664127600 (930 pcs).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17 series parts directly replace the FCC17C37SC680 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The FCE17 series maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: 37-position configuration, 2-row layout, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, 5A current rating, -40°C to 85°C operating temperature, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and 0.590" backset spacing. Physical and electrical compatibility is complete.

Q: What is the primary difference between FCC17 and FCE17 series?

A: The FCC17C37SC680 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The FCE17 series is active and RoHS Compliant. The dielectric material differs (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled in FCE17 versus Thermoplastic in FCC17), but this does not affect signal connector functionality. Voltage rating specifications are not provided for FCE17 variants, whereas the FCC17C37SC680 specifies 200V.

Q: Are HARTING alternatives electrically compatible with the FCC17C37SC680?

A: HARTING parts provide functional substitution with parameter variations. The backset spacing differs (0.401" for 09644147232 and 0.409" for 09664127600 versus 0.590" for the original part), which affects PCB layout compatibility. Current ratings are higher (7.5A and 6.5A respectively), and contact material differs (Copper Alloy versus Phosphor Bronze). These variations require application-specific evaluation.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best compliance profile?

A: All Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants and HARTING parts are RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, any of these substitutes is acceptable. HARTING parts provide ROHS3 compliance, which exceeds standard RoHS requirements.

Q: Does backset spacing affect connector interchangeability?

A: Yes. Backset spacing determines the distance from the connector mounting surface to the contact plane. The FCC17C37SC680 and all Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants specify 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing, ensuring PCB layout compatibility. HARTING alternatives specify different backset spacing (0.401" and 0.409"), which requires PCB redesign for mechanical fit.

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

A: Contact finish thickness (15.0µin or 0.38µm gold plating) ensures reliable electrical contact and corrosion resistance. Amphenol ICC parts maintain this specification across all variants. HARTING parts do not specify contact finish thickness, which may indicate different contact plating processes.

Q: Can I use FCE17C37SC690 as a direct substitute for FCE17C37SC680?

A: Yes. Both parts are Amphenol ICC FCE17 series variants with identical specifications across all critical parameters. The part number suffix differs, but functional and mechanical compatibility is complete. Selection between FCE17 variants is based on inventory availability and application requirements.

Q: Are there any temperature rating limitations when substituting parts?

A: The FCC17C37SC680 and all Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants operate from -40°C to 85°C. HARTING alternatives operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing extended temperature capability. For applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 85°C, HARTING alternatives are required.

Q: What certifications apply to these D-Sub connectors?

A: All parts meet UL94 V-0 material flammability requirements. Amphenol ICC FCE17 variants are RoHS Compliant. HARTING parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected. All parts are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040.
