Connector type (Receptacle, Female Sockets)
Number of positions (37)
Number of rows (2)
Shell size and connector layout (4 / DC, C)
Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
Termination method (Solder)
Flange feature type and dimensions (Board Side M3)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

Shell material and finish (Steel, Tin Plated)
Contact finish (Gold)
Contact finish thickness (15.0µin / 0.38µm)
Current rating (5A minimum)
Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C minimum)
Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Amphenol ICC Equivalents (Recommended Primary Option)

The FCE17 series connectors (FCE17C37SC69B, FCE17C37SC60B, FCE17C37SC61B, FCE17C37SC64B, FCE17C37SC65B, FCE17C37SC68B, FCE17C37SC6DB, FCE17C37SC6EB) are direct functional equivalents to the obsolete FCC17C37SC69B. All FCE17 variants maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, flange type, current rating, operating temperature range, and material flammability rating.

The primary distinction between the FCC17 and FCE17 series is RoHS compliance status. The original FCC17C37SC69B is RoHS non-compliant, while all FCE17 variants are RoHS Compliant. Additionally, FCE17 series connectors feature a glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material compared to the standard thermoplastic dielectric in the FCC17 series. These changes enhance environmental compliance and material performance without affecting functional compatibility.

All FCE17 variants are currently in active production status with substantial inventory availability (666 to 924 pieces in stock), ensuring reliable supply for new designs and replacement applications.

Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives (Secondary Option)

HARTING part numbers 09644147232 and 09664127600 provide functional alternatives for applications where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable. Both HARTING connectors maintain the core D-Sub 37 position receptacle configuration with through-hole right-angle solder termination and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

HARTING alternatives differ from the FCC17C37SC69B in the following parameters:

Backset Spacing: HARTING parts feature reduced backset spacing (0.401" to 0.409") compared to the Amphenol specification (0.590"), requiring PCB layout verification before substitution.
Flange Feature: HARTING parts use housing/shell-mounted flanges (4-40 threaded or unthreaded) rather than board-side M3 flanges, affecting mechanical mounting configuration.
Current Rating: HARTING parts support higher current ratings (6.5A to 7.5A) than the original specification (5A).
Voltage Rating: HARTING 09644147232 specifies 100V maximum voltage, lower than the original 200V rating.
Operating Temperature: HARTING parts support extended temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) compared to the original (-40°C to 85°C).
Contact Material: HARTING uses copper alloy contacts versus phosphor bronze in the original design.
Dielectric Material: HARTING employs PCT or glass-filled PBT materials versus standard thermoplastic.

HARTING alternatives are suitable only for applications where mechanical mounting differences and parameter variations are accommodated by design modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17C37SC69B directly replace FCC17C37SC69B without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37SC69B maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications to the FCC17C37SC69B, including connector type, position count, shell size, mounting type, termination method, flange configuration, current rating, and operating temperature range. Direct substitution on existing PCBs is supported without design changes.

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

A: The FCE17 series represents the active production equivalent to the obsolete FCC17 series. Both series share identical functional specifications. The FCE17 series incorporates RoHS compliance and glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material, providing improved environmental compliance and material performance. No functional differences affect connector operation or compatibility.

Q: Are all FCE17C37SC6xB variants interchangeable?

A: Yes. All FCE17C37SC6xB variants (SC60B, SC61B, SC64B, SC65B, SC68B, SC6DB, SC6EB) maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications. Variations in the part number suffix reflect internal design or manufacturing process differences that do not affect external form, fit, or function. These variants are fully interchangeable for applications requiring the FCC17C37SC69B.

Q: Can HARTING 09644147232 or 09664127600 replace the FCC17C37SC69B?

A: HARTING connectors provide functional alternatives only when design modifications are acceptable. These parts differ in backset spacing (0.401" to 0.409" versus 0.590"), flange feature type (housing/shell versus board-side M3), and contact material (copper alloy versus phosphor bronze). PCB layout and mechanical mounting must be re-evaluated before substitution. HARTING alternatives are not recommended for direct replacement without engineering review.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance in the FCE17 series?

A: RoHS compliance in the FCE17 series indicates conformance to the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, eliminating lead and other restricted materials from the connector composition. This compliance is required for products destined for European markets and many regulated industries. The FCC17C37SC69B, being RoHS non-compliant, may not meet current procurement requirements for new designs or applications subject to environmental regulations.

Q: Does the glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric in FCE17 connectors affect electrical performance?

A: The glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric in FCE17 connectors maintains electrical performance equivalent to the standard thermoplastic dielectric in FCC17 connectors. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and support identical voltage and current ratings. The glass-filled composition provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability without altering electrical characteristics.

Q: What inventory status should be considered when selecting between FCE17 variants?

A: All FCE17C37SC6xB variants maintain active production status with substantial inventory availability (666 to 924 pieces in stock). Selection among variants should be based on internal design specifications or manufacturing process requirements rather than inventory considerations, as all variants are readily available. The FCE17C37SC6DB variant offers the highest inventory level (924 pieces).

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between FCC17C37SC69B and FCE17 equivalents?

A: Both FCC17 and FCE17 series connectors carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. The primary compliance difference is RoHS status: FCC17 is non-compliant while FCE17 is compliant. Both series maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. No functional certification differences affect connector operation.

Q: What is the backset spacing parameter and why does it matter for substitution?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting flange to the rear of the connector body. The FCC17C37SC69B specifies 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing. HARTING alternatives specify 0.401" to 0.409", representing a significant reduction. This parameter affects PCB layout, cable routing, and mechanical clearances. Substitution with different backset spacing requires PCB re-design and mechanical verification.

Q: Can the FCC17C37SC69B be used in new designs, or must FCE17 equivalents be specified?

A: The FCC17C37SC69B is classified as obsolete and should not be specified for new designs. The FCE17 series provides active production equivalents with improved RoHS compliance and material specifications. New designs should specify FCE17C37SC69B or other active FCE17 variants to ensure long-term supply availability and compliance with current environmental regulations.
