Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on parametric equivalence and manufacturer origin:

Category 1: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series (Active, RoHS Compliant)

The FCE17E09PC68B, FCE17E09PC60B, FCE17E09PC61B, FCE17E09PC64B, FCE17E09PC65B, FCE17E09PC69B, FCE17E09PC6DB, and FCE17E09PC6EB represent direct parametric equivalents from Amphenol ICC. These parts maintain identical specifications across the following critical parameters:

Connector style, type, and pin configuration (9-position D-Sub plug, male pins)
Shell size and layout (Size 1, DE/E)
Mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle)
Termination method (solder)
Current and voltage ratings (5A, 200V nominal)
Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
Shell material and finish (steel, tin plated)
Contact finish and thickness (gold, 15.0µin)
Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
Backset spacing (0.590")
Features (filter, grounding indents, mounting brackets)
Contact material (phosphor bronze)
Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The primary distinction is product status: all FCE17 variants are active products with RoHS compliance, whereas the FCC17E09PC68B is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The dielectric material in FCE17 variants is specified as thermoplastic with glass filling, compared to the base thermoplastic in the original part.

Category 2: HARTING 09651626815 and 09651626816 (Active, ROHS3 Compliant)

These HARTING D-Sub plugs provide functional compatibility with notable parameter variations. Substitution with these parts requires engineering evaluation due to differences in:

Backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590")
Current rating (6.5A vs. 5A)
Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -40°C ~ 85°C)
Contact form (stamped vs. machined)
Flange feature (housing/shell vs. board side)
Dielectric material composition (PBT/polyester vs. thermoplastic)
Contact material (copper alloy vs. phosphor bronze)

These parts maintain D-Sub 9-position plug configuration, male pins, through-hole right-angle mounting, solder termination, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Amphenol ICC FCE17 Series

The FCE17E09PC68B, FCE17E09PC60B, FCE17E09PC61B, FCE17E09PC64B, FCE17E09PC65B, FCE17E09PC69B, FCE17E09PC6DB, and FCE17E09PC6EB are the preferred substitutes for the obsolete FCC17E09PC68B. These parts provide direct parametric equivalence with the following advantages:

Active product status ensures long-term availability and manufacturing support
RoHS compliance meets current regulatory requirements for electronic components
Identical electrical and mechanical specifications maintain design compatibility
Consistent backset spacing (0.590") and current rating (5A) eliminate PCB redesign requirements
Equivalent operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C) supports existing thermal specifications
Maintained contact finish specifications (gold, 15.0µin) preserve signal integrity and reliability

Selection among the eight FCE17 variants depends on specific application requirements not differentiated in the provided parameters. All variants are functionally interchangeable for the FCC17E09PC68B application.

Secondary Recommendation: HARTING 09651626815 and 09651626816

The HARTING parts (09651626815 and 09651626816) are active, ROHS3-compliant alternatives suitable for applications where parameter variations are acceptable. These parts are appropriate when:

Extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) is required
Higher current capacity (6.5A) provides design margin
Backset spacing difference (0.409" vs. 0.590") is accommodated in PCB layout
Copper alloy contact material meets application requirements

These parts require design verification to confirm compatibility with existing PCB footprints and electrical specifications due to backset spacing variation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can FCE17E09PC68B directly replace FCC17E09PC68B without PCB modification?

A: Yes. The FCE17E09PC68B maintains identical backset spacing (0.590"), mounting configuration (through-hole, right-angle), and flange feature (board side M3). No PCB redesign is required for this substitution.

Q: What is the primary reason to substitute the FCC17E09PC68B?

A: The FCC17E09PC68B is classified as obsolete. The FCE17 series provides active, production-supported alternatives with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Additionally, FCE17 variants are RoHS compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: Are all eight FCE17 variants functionally equivalent?

A: Yes. FCE17E09PC68B, FCE17E09PC60B, FCE17E09PC61B, FCE17E09PC64B, FCE17E09PC65B, FCE17E09PC69B, FCE17E09PC6DB, and FCE17E09PC6EB share identical specifications across all provided parameters. Variant selection depends on application-specific requirements not differentiated in the technical data.

Q: Can HARTING 09651626815 or 09651626816 be used as direct replacements?

A: HARTING parts provide functional D-Sub 9-position plug connectivity but differ in backset spacing (0.409" vs. 0.590"), current rating (6.5A vs. 5A), and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -40°C ~ 85°C). These parts require PCB layout verification and design evaluation before implementation.

Q: What is the significance of backset spacing in D-Sub connector selection?

A: Backset spacing determines the distance from the connector mounting surface to the contact insertion point. The FCC17E09PC68B and all FCE17 variants specify 0.590" backset spacing, which is critical for PCB footprint compatibility. HARTING parts specify 0.409" backset spacing, requiring PCB redesign if substituted.

Q: Does the dielectric material difference between FCC17E09PC68B and FCE17 variants affect compatibility?

A: The FCC17E09PC68B specifies thermoplastic dielectric material, while FCE17 variants specify thermoplastic with glass filling. This material enhancement in FCE17 variants improves mechanical strength and thermal stability without affecting electrical performance or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there inventory considerations for substitute selection?

A: Inventory levels vary among substitute parts. FCE17E09PC69B (959 pcs), FCE17E09PC64B (877 pcs), and FCE17E09PC6DB (851 pcs) maintain higher stock levels. HARTING 09651626816 (911 pcs) and 09651626815 (829 pcs) also provide adequate availability. Specific procurement requirements should be confirmed with component suppliers.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to substitute parts?

A: All FCE17 variants are RoHS compliant. HARTING parts are ROHS3 compliant. Both certifications meet current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement. The original FCC17E09PC68B is RoHS non-compliant, making substitution necessary for RoHS-regulated applications.

Q: Is contact finish specification important for signal integrity?

A: Yes. The FCC17E09PC68B and all FCE17 variants specify gold contact finish at 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness, which provides corrosion resistance and maintains low contact resistance for signal applications. HARTING parts do not specify contact finish in the provided data, requiring verification before substitution in critical signal applications.
