Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and satisfy the core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct substitution with the FCE17A15PB4EB.

Amphenol ICC (FCI) Delta D Series Parts (D15P13 Base Number):

The D15P13A4GL00LF, D15P13A4GV00LF, D15P13A4GX00LF, D15P13A6GL00LF, D15P13A6GX00LF, D15P13B6UA00LF, and D15P13B6UX00LF connectors are functionally equivalent alternatives. These parts feature extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C) and higher voltage ratings (300V) compared to the FCE17A15PB4EB. Variations exist in flange configuration (Housing/Shell with M3 or 4-40 threading, Mating Side Female Screwlock, or Unthreaded), shell material finish (Tin-Nickel Plated or Tin Plated), and contact finish thickness (Flash or 30.0µin). Parts designated with "A4" feature flash gold plating, while "A6" and "B6" variants provide 30.0µin gold or Gold, GXT™ plating. The "B" series utilizes Thermoplastic dielectric material, whereas "A" series employ Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). RoHS compliance is available in both standard and ROHS3 versions.

HARTING Parts (09652626817 and 09662626817):

The HARTING 09652626817 and 09662626817 connectors provide alternative sourcing from a different manufacturer while maintaining all mandatory D-Sub specifications. The 09652626817 supports 6.5A current rating with Stamped contact form, while the 09662626817 supports 7.5A with Machined contact form. Both feature Mating Side Female Screwlock flange configuration and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). These parts are ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected.

Selection Criteria:

• For applications requiring higher current capacity, select 09662626817 (7.5A) or 09652626817 (6.5A)
• For extended temperature operation beyond -40°C to 85°C, select any Delta D series part (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• For higher voltage applications, select Delta D series parts (300V rating)
• For enhanced contact durability, select parts with 30.0µin gold plating (D15P13A6GL00LF, D15P13A6GX00LF, D15P13B6UA00LF, D15P13B6UX00LF)
• For specific flange mounting requirements, select appropriate Housing/Shell, Mating Side, or Board Side configuration

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D15P13A4GL00LF replace FCE17A15PB4EB in all applications?

A: Yes. The D15P13A4GL00LF satisfies all mandatory substitution parameters: 15-position D-Sub plug, male pins, 2-row configuration, shell size 2 (DA, A), through-hole right-angle solder termination, signal contact type, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The part features extended operating temperature (-55°C ~ 125°C) and voltage rating (300V), making it suitable for applications within the FCE17A15PB4EB operating envelope.

Q: What is the difference between D15P13A4GV00LF and D15P13A4GX00LF?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is flange configuration: D15P13A4GV00LF features Mating Side Female Screwlock (4-40), while D15P13A4GX00LF features Housing/Shell (4-40). Selection depends on the specific mounting interface requirements of the application.

Q: Are HARTING parts 09652626817 and 09662626817 interchangeable?

A: Both HARTING parts are functionally equivalent D-Sub 15-position plugs with identical core specifications. The 09662626817 provides higher current rating (7.5A versus 6.5A) and features Machined contact form compared to the Stamped contact form of 09652626817. Selection should be based on current requirements and contact durability specifications.

Q: What does "Flash" contact finish thickness mean compared to 30.0µin?

A: Flash plating indicates a minimal gold coating applied to the contact surface, typically less than 5µin thickness. The 30.0µin (0.76µm) specification provides substantially thicker gold plating, offering enhanced corrosion resistance and contact durability for applications requiring extended service life or harsh environmental exposure.

Q: Can I use D15P13B6UA00LF if my application requires board-side flange mounting?

A: No. The D15P13B6UA00LF features Housing/Shell (Unthreaded) flange configuration. For board-side mounting equivalent to the FCE17A15PB4EB, select parts with Board Side flange designation. However, the FCE17A15PB4EB Board Side (4-40) configuration is not replicated in the substitute list; alternative flange types (Housing/Shell or Mating Side) may require mechanical redesign.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 Compliant versus RoHS Compliant status?

A: Both designations indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard. Parts marked RoHS Compliant meet the original RoHS directive requirements. For new designs, ROHS3 Compliant parts are preferred; however, both are acceptable for substitution purposes.

Q: Does the 0.004" (0.11mm) difference in backset spacing between FCE17A15PB4EB and substitute parts affect compatibility?

A: The FCE17A15PB4EB specifies 0.405" (10.29mm) backset spacing, while most substitute parts specify 0.409" (10.40mm). This 0.004" difference is within standard manufacturing tolerances for D-Sub connectors and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. PCB layout and mating connector specifications should be verified to ensure accommodation of this minor dimensional variation.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best overall compatibility with FCE17A15PB4EB?

A: D15P13A4GL00LF provides the closest functional match, featuring identical 5A current rating, gold contact finish, and Housing/Shell (M3) flange configuration. The part maintains RoHS Compliant status and offers extended operating temperature and voltage specifications. Inventory availability (1687 units) supports immediate procurement.
