Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCE17B25PB4DB are selected based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. All substitute parts must maintain the following core parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 25
• Number of Rows: 2
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 3 (DB, B)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Variations:

• Current Rating: Equal to or greater than 5A
• Operating Temperature: Equal to or greater than the -40°C to 85°C range
• Flange Feature: Different configurations (Board Side, Housing/Shell, Mating Side) based on application requirements
• Shell Material Finish: Steel with various plating options (Tin Plated, Tin-Nickel Plated)
• Contact Finish: Gold or equivalent noble metal plating
• Dielectric Material: Thermoplastic or PBT-based materials meeting UL94 V-0
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories: direct plug-to-plug substitutes (same connector type) and alternative configurations (different flange features for specific mounting scenarios).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: D25P13A4GX00LF

The D25P13A4GX00LF is the recommended primary substitute for the FCE17B25PB4DB. This part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while offering an extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The connector features a Housing/Shell flange with 4-40 mounting, gold contact finish, and is ROHS3 compliant. With 3,167 units in stock, this part provides superior availability and meets all functional requirements of the original specification.

Secondary Substitute: D25P13A4GV00LF

The D25P13A4GV00LF serves as an alternative when a Mating Side Female Screwlock flange configuration is required. This Delta D series connector maintains identical electrical specifications and operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) while providing board lock features. The part is RoHS compliant with 1,932 units available in inventory.

Alternative Substitute: 09663626817 (HARTING)

The HARTING 09663626817 provides cross-manufacturer compatibility with enhanced current rating of 7.5A and extended temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. This part features a Mating Side Female Screwlock flange and is ROHS3 compliant. Selection of this part is appropriate when manufacturer diversification is required or when higher current capacity is beneficial for system design margins.

Specialized Substitute: D25P13A6GX00LF

The D25P13A6GX00LF is selected when enhanced contact finish durability is required. This part features 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold or GXT™ contact finish thickness, compared to flash thickness on other alternatives. This specification is suitable for high-reliability applications or environments with demanding contact wear requirements.

Configuration Variant: D25P13B4PA00LF

The D25P13B4PA00LF offers an unthreaded Housing/Shell flange configuration with polyester dielectric material. This variant is selected when board-mounted applications require simplified installation without threaded fasteners. The part maintains all core electrical specifications and RoHS compliance.

All substitute parts listed maintain active product status and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Selection between alternatives depends on specific flange configuration requirements, contact finish durability needs, and manufacturer preference within the Amphenol ICC ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the D25P13A4GX00LF directly replace the FCE17B25PB4DB without PCB redesign?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical 25-position D-Sub plug configuration with right angle through-hole solder termination. The D25P13A4GX00LF features a Housing/Shell 4-40 flange compared to the Board Side 4-40 flange on the FCE17B25PB4DB. Flange configuration differences do not affect electrical compatibility but may require verification of mounting hole alignment on the specific PCB layout.

Q: What is the difference between the flange features listed for these connectors?

A: Flange features define the mechanical mounting interface. Board Side flanges mount on the component side of the PCB. Housing/Shell flanges provide threaded or unthreaded mounting on the connector shell itself. Mating Side Female Screwlock flanges include locking mechanisms on the mating interface. Selection depends on the specific PCB mounting requirements and available space.

Q: Is the HARTING 09663626817 electrically compatible with the FCE17B25PB4DB?

A: Yes. The HARTING part maintains the same 25-position D-Sub plug configuration, solder termination, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The HARTING connector provides higher current capacity (7.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -40°C to 85°C), making it a capable substitute. Contact finish specifications differ, with the HARTING part not specifying gold plating.

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

A: Flash thickness represents a minimal gold plating layer applied for corrosion protection and contact conductivity. The D25P13A6GX00LF specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, providing substantially thicker gold plating. Thicker plating extends contact life in high-cycle mating applications and provides enhanced durability in corrosive environments.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: All listed substitute parts are either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant. The original FCE17B25PB4DB is RoHS Compliant. ROHS3 represents an updated compliance designation. Both designations satisfy RoHS requirements for lead-free and restricted substance elimination.

Q: Can I use the DLS3XS6AK44X as a substitute?

A: No. The DLS3XS6AK44X is a 25-position D-Sub receptacle with female sockets, not a plug with male pins. This part represents the mating connector type and cannot substitute for the FCE17B25PB4DB plug connector. The DLS3XS6AK44X is included in the reference data for completeness in identifying compatible mating pairs.

Q: What inventory considerations should guide my selection?

A: The D25P13A4GX00LF offers the highest inventory availability with 3,167 units in stock. The D25P13A4GV00LF provides 1,932 units. The FCE17B25PB4DB maintains 977 units. The HARTING 09663626817 provides 1,014 units. For applications requiring immediate procurement, the D25P13A4GX00LF offers superior lead time assurance.

Q: What is the significance of the Delta D series designation?

A: Delta D is the product series designation for Amphenol ICC (FCI) D-Sub connectors. This series includes multiple variants with different flange configurations, contact finishes, and dielectric materials. All Delta D variants listed (D25P13A4GL00LF, D25P13A4GV00LF, D25P13A4GX00LF, D25P13A6GX00LF, D25P13B4PA00LF) maintain compatible electrical specifications and can substitute for one another based on specific flange and finish requirements.
