FCE17B25PB2EB Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCE17B25PB2EB is a 25-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This right-angle, through-hole solder connector features male pins and is designed for signal applications in industrial and commercial equipment. The connector is currently active in production with 987 units in stock.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent D-Sub connectors share the same core electrical and mechanical specifications: 25-position configuration, 2-row layout, shell size 3 (DB, B), right-angle through-hole mounting, solder termination, and signal contact type. Alternative models may be required due to specific flange feature requirements, shell material finish variations, contact material differences, or regional compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCE17B25PB2EB is determined by the following mandatory parameters:

Core Electrical & Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector style: D-Sub
• Connector type: Plug, Male Pins
• Number of positions: 25
• Number of rows: 2
• Shell size: 3 (DB, B)
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination method: Solder
• Contact type: Signal
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Variations:

• Flange feature (Housing/Shell unthreaded, Housing/Shell threaded, or Mating Side screwlock)
• Shell material finish (Steel Tin Plated, Steel Tin-Nickel Plated)
• Contact finish (Gold, Gold Flash)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze, Brass, Copper Alloy)
• Dielectric material (Thermoplastic Glass Filled, Polybutylene Terephthalate, Polyester)
• Current rating: 5A or higher per contact
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass or exceed -40°C ~ 85°C
• Packaging format (Bulk, Tray)

Non-Substitutable Parameters:

• Connector type must remain Plug, Male Pins (receptacles are not substitutes)
• Position count and row configuration must remain 25 positions, 2 rows
• Shell size must remain 3 (DB, B)

The substitute part 09663626817 (HARTING) is included despite a higher current rating (7.5A) and extended operating temperature (-55°C ~ 125°C) because these represent enhanced specifications that maintain backward compatibility. The part DLS3XS6AK44X is excluded from primary substitution consideration as it is a receptacle (female sockets) rather than a plug (male pins), representing a different connector gender.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Amphenol ICC FCI Delta D Series):

The D25P13A4GL00LF, D25P13A4GV00LF, D25P13A4GX00LF, D25P13A6GX00LF, and D25P13B4PA00LF are direct functional equivalents manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI division). All maintain the same 25-position, 2-row D-Sub plug configuration with through-hole right-angle solder termination. These parts are RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant and operate across an extended temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), which encompasses the FCE17B25PB2EB operating window. Current ratings of 5A per contact match or exceed the original specification.

Selection among these Delta D variants depends on flange feature requirements:

• D25P13A4GL00LF: Housing/Shell with M3 threads; 1239 units in stock
• D25P13A4GV00LF: Mating side female screwlock (4-40); 1932 units in stock; highest inventory
• D25P13A4GX00LF: Housing/Shell with 4-40 threads; 3167 units in stock; maximum availability
• D25P13A6GX00LF: Housing/Shell with 4-40 threads; enhanced contact finish thickness (30.0µin); 709 units in stock
• D25P13B4PA00LF: Housing/Shell unthreaded (matches FCE17B25PB2EB flange style); 962 units in stock

Secondary Substitute (HARTING 09663626817):

The HARTING 09663626817 provides an alternative from a different manufacturer while maintaining core D-Sub plug specifications. This connector features a higher current rating (7.5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). The mating side female screwlock (4-40) flange differs from the original unthreaded housing. ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status are documented. Inventory availability is 1014 units.

Compliance Considerations:

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level. RoHS and ROHS3 compliance certifications are present across all options. REACH status varies: most Delta D variants are REACH Unaffected, while D25P13A4GX00LF is REACH Affected. Selection should account for end-application regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D25P13A4GX00LF replace FCE17B25PB2EB in all applications?

A: Yes, from an electrical and mechanical standpoint. Both are 25-position D-Sub plugs with identical pin configuration, solder termination, and signal contact type. The D25P13A4GX00LF operates across a wider temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C) and carries the same 5A per contact current rating. The primary difference is the flange feature: D25P13A4GX00LF has a 4-40 threaded housing/shell, while FCE17B25PB2EB has an unthreaded housing/shell. If your application requires an unthreaded flange, use D25P13B4PA00LF instead.

Q: What is the difference between the Delta D variants (D25P13 series)?

A: All Delta D variants share identical electrical specifications and core mechanical dimensions. Differences are limited to flange features, shell material finish, and contact finish thickness. D25P13A4GL00LF uses M3 threads; D25P13A4GV00LF and D25P13A4GX00LF use 4-40 threads; D25P13B4PA00LF is unthreaded. D25P13A6GX00LF provides thicker gold plating (30.0µin versus flash). Selection depends on your PCB mounting hole specifications and contact durability requirements.

Q: Is the HARTING 09663626817 compatible with FCE17B25PB2EB?

A: The HARTING 09663626817 is electrically and mechanically compatible as a 25-position D-Sub plug with solder termination. However, it features a mating side female screwlock (4-40) flange, whereas FCE17B25PB2EB has an unthreaded housing/shell. If your application uses unthreaded mounting holes, the HARTING part will not fit. The HARTING connector also does not specify contact finish, which may be relevant for high-reliability applications. Verify flange compatibility before selection.

Q: Why is DLS3XS6AK44X listed in the substitute list but not recommended?

A: DLS3XS6AK44X is a 25-position D-Sub receptacle (female sockets), not a plug (male pins). It is the mating connector type, not a substitute for the FCE17B25PB2EB plug. Receptacles and plugs are complementary components, not interchangeable. DLS3XS6AK44X is included in the reference data only to clarify that it is not a valid substitute.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: Substitute parts are supplied in two packaging formats: Tray (D25P13 series variants) and Bulk (HARTING 09663626817). Tray packaging is standard for the Amphenol ICC FCI Delta D series. Bulk packaging is used for the HARTING connector. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement process before ordering.

Q: Do all substitutes meet RoHS compliance?

A: All substitute parts are either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant. RoHS Compliant parts meet the original Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. ROHS3 Compliant parts meet the updated ROHS3 standard. Both certifications are acceptable for most applications. If your application requires a specific RoHS version, verify the part number before procurement.

Q: What is the difference between contact finish specifications (Gold, Gold Flash, 30.0µin)?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and wear resistance. FCE17B25PB2EB specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold plating. Most Delta D variants use flash gold plating (thickness not specified, typically 0.1µm to 0.5µm). D25P13A6GX00LF provides 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating, offering enhanced durability for high-cycle mating applications. For standard applications, flash gold is sufficient. For high-reliability or high-cycle applications, specify D25P13A6GX00LF.

Q: Can I use a substitute with a higher current rating than the original?

A: Yes. The HARTING 09663626817 is rated for 7.5A, while FCE17B25PB2EB is rated for 5A. A higher current rating indicates the connector can safely handle greater current without exceeding temperature limits. This represents an enhanced specification that maintains backward compatibility. If your application requires only 5A, either the original or the higher-rated substitute is acceptable.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference, and does it matter?

A: FCE17B25PB2EB operates from -40°C to 85°C. All substitute parts operate from -55°C to 125°C. If your application operates within the original range (-40°C to 85°C), any substitute is acceptable. If your application requires operation below -40°C or above 85°C, the substitute parts provide extended capability. Verify your application's actual operating temperature before selection.
