FCE17A15SB2DB D-Sub Receptacle Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCE17A15SB2DB is a 15-position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This through-hole, right-angle solder-terminated connector features female sockets with a 2-row configuration (Shell Size 2, DA/A layout) and is designed for signal applications. The connector is actively produced and RoHS compliant, with 781 units currently in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for component sourcing, inventory management, or design flexibility while maintaining functional compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCE17A15SB2DB are identified based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Style: D-Sub
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 15
• Number of Rows: 2
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 2 (DA, A)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Type: Signal
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Parameter Variations:

• Current Rating: Substitute parts rated at 6.5A exceed the 5A requirement and remain compatible
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute parts with extended ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C) provide broader operational capability
• Shell Material Finish: Both tin-plated and unfinished steel shells are functionally equivalent
• Contact Finish: Variations in contact finish specifications do not affect signal-level functionality
• Backset Spacing: Minor variations (0.405" vs. 0.409") remain within acceptable mechanical tolerances for D-Sub connectors
• Flange Feature: Different flange configurations (unthreaded housing vs. female screwlock) represent design variations that do not prevent substitution
• Dielectric Material: Both thermoplastic glass-filled and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) glass-filled materials meet UL94 V-0 requirements

The substitute parts 09662526617 and 09662527617 (both HARTING manufactured) satisfy all mandatory matching parameters and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the FCE17A15SB2DB.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: FCE17A15SB2DB

The FCE17A15SB2DB remains the preferred selection when Amphenol ICC sourcing is required or when the specific operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 85°C is the design constraint. This part is actively produced, RoHS compliant, and maintains full inventory availability (781 units in stock).

Substitute Parts: 09662526617 and 09662527617

Both HARTING-manufactured substitute parts (09662526617 and 09662527617) are functionally equivalent alternatives. These parts are actively produced and ROHS3 compliant. The substitutes provide the following advantages:

• Higher current rating (6.5A vs. 5A) accommodates higher-load applications
• Extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) supports broader environmental conditions
• Equivalent inventory availability (798 and 973 units respectively)

Selection between 09662526617 and 09662527617 is determined by specific application requirements, as both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The choice between the Amphenol ICC primary part and HARTING substitutes depends on supply chain strategy, cost considerations, and design temperature requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the HARTING parts 09662526617 and 09662527617 directly interchangeable with the FCE17A15SB2DB?

A: Yes. Both HARTING parts are electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the FCE17A15SB2DB. All three connectors share identical connector style, type, position count, row configuration, shell size, mounting type, termination method, and flammability rating. The HARTING substitutes exceed the current rating and operating temperature specifications of the primary part.

Q: What is the difference between the two HARTING substitute parts?

A: The parts 09662526617 and 09662527617 are functionally identical in all electrical and mechanical parameters. Both are manufactured by HARTING and share the same specifications. Selection between them is based on availability and supply chain considerations rather than technical differentiation.

Q: Can I use a substitute part if my application operates at -50°C?

A: The FCE17A15SB2DB is rated for -40°C ~ 85°C and is not suitable for -50°C operation. The HARTING substitutes (09662526617 and 09662527617) are rated for -55°C ~ 125°C and are appropriate for -50°C operation.

Q: Does the difference in backset spacing (0.405" vs. 0.409") affect compatibility?

A: The backset spacing variation of 0.004" (0.11mm) between the primary part and substitutes remains within acceptable mechanical tolerances for D-Sub connector applications and does not prevent substitution.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the primary part and substitutes?

A: The FCE17A15SB2DB is RoHS compliant. The HARTING substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, which represents a more recent compliance standard. Both meet the same environmental and regulatory requirements. All three parts are classified as EAR99 and share the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4040).

Q: What is the significance of the contact material difference (Phosphor Bronze vs. Copper Alloy)?

A: Both phosphor bronze and copper alloy contacts are suitable for signal-level D-Sub applications. The material difference does not affect electrical performance or interchangeability for this connector category.

Q: Can I substitute based on current rating alone?

A: No. While the HARTING substitutes have a higher current rating (6.5A vs. 5A), substitution is valid only when all mandatory parameters align. In this case, the alignment of connector style, type, position count, shell size, mounting type, termination, and flammability rating makes substitution appropriate. Current rating alone is not a sufficient basis for substitution decisions.

Q: What packaging format are the substitute parts available in?

A: The HARTING substitute parts (09662526617 and 09662527617) are available in bulk packaging, whereas the primary part FCE17A15SB2DB packaging format is not specified in the provided data.
