FCC17C37SE280 D-Sub 37-Position Receptacle Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCC17C37SE280 is a 37-position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This through-hole solder-terminated connector features female sockets in a 2-row configuration with shell size 4 (DC, C) layout. The connector is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of equivalent and substitute components for ongoing applications and new designs. Alternative parts must maintain functional compatibility across connector style, position count, mounting type, and electrical ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

FCE17C37SE280 (Amphenol ICC)

The FCE17C37SE280 is the primary recommended substitute. This part maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications to the FCC17C37SE280 across all critical parameters: 37-position D-Sub receptacle, 2-row configuration, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole solder termination, 5A current rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The FCE17C37SE280 is active in production status and RoHS Compliant, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs. Both parts share the same base product family (Amphenol ICC commercial D-Sub connectors) and are functionally interchangeable.

628-037-220-047 (Mercury United Electronics)

The 628-037-220-047 is a compatible substitute with extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 85°C). This part meets all primary compatibility criteria and is ROHS3 Compliant. The connector features board-side locking (4-40) and shielding, providing enhanced mechanical retention and EMI protection. Current rating is specified at 3A per contact, which is lower than the main part's 5A rating. This part is suitable for applications requiring lower current levels or enhanced environmental protection. Product status is active.

628-037-220-046 (Mercury United Electronics)

The 628-037-220-046 satisfies all primary compatibility criteria as a 37-position D-Sub receptacle with 2-row configuration, shell size 4 (DC, C), and through-hole solder termination. Limited technical specifications are provided for this part. Inventory availability is confirmed at 874 pieces. This part is suitable for direct mechanical and electrical substitution where detailed parameter specifications align with application requirements.

7-1393740-3 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors)

The 7-1393740-3 from the AMPLIMITE HD-20 series meets all primary compatibility criteria. This part is RoHS Compliant and active in production. Limited electrical and thermal specifications are provided in the available data. This part is suitable for applications where TE Connectivity connector ecosystem integration is preferred.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCC17C37SE280 be directly replaced with the FCE17C37SE280?

A: Yes. Both connectors are 37-position D-Sub receptacles with identical shell size 4 (DC, C) configuration, 2-row layout, through-hole solder termination, 5A current rating, and -40°C to 85°C operating temperature range. The FCE17C37SE280 is the active production equivalent and is functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the primary difference between the main part and substitute options?

A: The FCC17C37SE280 is obsolete. The FCE17C37SE280 is the direct active equivalent from the same manufacturer. Mercury United Electronics and TE Connectivity alternatives provide equivalent mechanical and electrical functionality with variations in mounting features, contact materials, and compliance certifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS Compliant?

A: The main part (FCC17C37SE280) is RoHS non-compliant. All substitute parts listed are RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement.

Q: What is the current rating difference between the main part and 628-037-220-047?

A: The FCC17C37SE280 is rated at 5A. The 628-037-220-047 is rated at 3A per contact. Applications requiring 5A current capacity should use the FCC17C37SE280, FCE17C37SE280, or other parts with equivalent 5A ratings.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: The FCC17C37SE280, FCE17C37SE280, and 628-037-220-046 operate from -40°C to 85°C. The 628-037-220-047 extends the lower temperature limit to -55°C. For applications exceeding 85°C, alternative connector families must be evaluated.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The FCC17C37SE280 and FCE17C37SE280 packaging is not specified. The 628-037-220-047 is supplied in Tray packaging. The 7-1393740-3 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for shielded applications?

A: The 628-037-220-047 includes shielding features. The FCC17C37SE280, FCE17C37SE280, 628-037-220-046, and 7-1393740-3 do not specify shielding. For EMI-sensitive applications, the 628-037-220-047 is recommended.

Q: What is the contact material composition?

A: The FCC17C37SE280 uses Phosphor Bronze contacts. The FCE17C37SE280 also uses Phosphor Bronze. The 628-037-220-047 uses Brass contacts. The 628-037-220-046 and 7-1393740-3 contact materials are not specified.

Q: Can the FCC17C37SE280 be used in new product designs?

A: No. The FCC17C37SE280 is obsolete. New designs should specify the FCE17C37SE280 (active equivalent) or other active substitute parts. All substitute options listed are active in production.
