Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The FCE17C37SM440 is a direct functional substitute for the FCC17C37SM440 based on the following engineering criteria:

Mechanical and Electrical Equivalence: All critical mechanical parameters are identical, including connector geometry, position count, mounting configuration, and termination method. Electrical specifications including current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and contact material are fully equivalent.

Material and Construction: Both connectors utilize identical shell material (steel with tin plating), contact finish (gold at 15.0µin), and contact material (phosphor bronze). The dielectric material in the FCE17C37SM440 is glass-filled thermoplastic, which provides enhanced mechanical and thermal properties compared to standard thermoplastic while maintaining full functional compatibility.

Compliance and Product Status: The FCC17C37SM440 is classified as obsolete. The FCE17C37SM440 is an active product with RoHS compliance certification. Selection of the FCE17C37SM440 provides access to current manufacturing, improved supply chain availability, and compliance with modern regulatory requirements.

Certification: Both connectors carry identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 / Unlimited), ensuring equivalent performance in environmental and safety-critical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37SM440 be used as a direct replacement for the FCC17C37SM440?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37SM440 meets all mechanical, electrical, and material specifications required for direct substitution. Both connectors are 37-position D-Sub receptacles with identical shell size, mounting type, termination method, and electrical ratings.

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

A: The FCC17 series is obsolete. The FCE17 series is the active equivalent product line from Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). The FCE17C37SM440 represents the current manufacturing standard for this connector type.

Q: Are there differences in the dielectric material?
