Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FCE17C37SM2D0 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete FCC17C37SM2D0. Selection of this substitute is based on the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The FCC17C37SM2D0 is obsolete, making the active FCE17C37SM2D0 the appropriate replacement for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility: The FCE17C37SM2D0 maintains full equivalence across all critical electrical parameters (current rating, contact material, contact finish thickness) and mechanical parameters (connector layout, shell size, mounting type, termination method).

Compliance Considerations: The FCE17C37SM2D0 is RoHS compliant, whereas the FCC17C37SM2D0 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements, the FCE17C37SM2D0 provides regulatory compliance while maintaining functional equivalence.

Dielectric Material Enhancement: The FCE17C37SM2D0 features glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material compared to standard thermoplastic in the FCC17C37SM2D0. Both materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and support the same operating temperature range.

Inventory and Availability: The FCE17C37SM2D0 is currently in active production with 818 units in stock, ensuring reliable supply for new designs and replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37SM2D0 be used as a direct replacement for the FCC17C37SM2D0 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37SM2D0 meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters of the FCC17C37SM2D0, including connector type, position count, shell size, termination method, current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and contact specifications. Both connectors are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

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

A: The FCC17 series is obsolete, while the FCE17 series is active. The FCE17C37SM2D0 represents the current production equivalent of the FCC17C37SM2D0. Both series share identical mechanical and electrical specifications for this 37-position D-Sub receptacle connector.

Q: Does the glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric in the FCE17C37SM2D0 affect compatibility?

A: No. The glass-filled thermoplastic dielectric material in the FCE17C37SM2D0 maintains the same UL94 V-0 flammability rating and operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C) as the standard thermoplastic in the FCC17C37SM2D0. This enhancement does not impact electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Is the FCE17C37SM2D0 suitable for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37SM2D0 is RoHS compliant, making it suitable for applications subject to RoHS regulations. The FCC17C37SM2D0 is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or applications requiring RoHS compliance, the FCE17C37SM2D0 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there any differences in solder cup termination between these connectors?

A: No. Both the FCC17C37SM2D0 and FCE17C37SM2D0 feature identical solder cup termination specifications, including contact finish (gold), contact finish thickness (15.0µin / 0.38µm), and contact material (phosphor bronze).

Q: What is the voltage rating for the FCE17C37SM2D0?

A: The voltage rating for the FCE17C37SM2D0 is not specified in the available technical data. The FCC17C37SM2D0 has a voltage rating of 200V. For applications requiring confirmation of voltage specifications, consult the detailed product documentation or contact the manufacturer.

Q: Can these connectors be used in the same PCB layout and assembly process?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including shell size (4 / DC, C), mounting type (free hanging in-line), and solder cup termination. They are compatible with the same PCB footprints and assembly processes.
