Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCE17B25PC200 are qualified based on the following matching parameters:

Core Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector style: D-Sub
• Connector type: Plug, Male Pins
• Number of positions: 25
• Number of rows: 2
• Shell size and layout: 3 (DB, B)
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination method: Solder
• Current rating: 5A
• Backset spacing: 0.590" (14.99mm)
• Contact type: Signal
• Flange feature: Housing/Shell (Unthreaded or 4-40)
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Color: Black

The three substitute parts (183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, 183-025-113R531) manufactured by NorComp Inc. meet all core compatibility parameters. Variations exist in shell finish (nickel plated versus tin plated), contact material (brass versus phosphor bronze), contact finish thickness (flash versus 15.0µin), dielectric material composition, and flange feature design. These variations do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified electrical and mechanical constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts (183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, 183-025-113R531) are actively produced and maintain full compliance with RoHS regulations. The FCE17B25PC200 carries RoHS Compliant status, while all NorComp substitutes carry ROHS3 Compliant status, indicating enhanced regulatory alignment.

Selection Considerations Based on Provided Specifications:

183-025-113R161: This part features an unthreaded housing/shell flange, matching the FCE17B25PC200 flange design. It is suitable for applications requiring panel mount capability in addition to through-hole mounting. Operating temperature range extends to -55°C ~ 105°C, providing broader environmental tolerance than the primary part.

183-025-113R171: This part includes a 4-40 threaded flange feature, enabling mechanical fastening options not present in the FCE17B25PC200. The 4-40 threaded design accommodates screw-lock assembly methods. Operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 105°C.

183-025-113R531: This part also features a 4-40 threaded flange and includes board lock functionality, matching the feature set of the FCE17B25PC200. Operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 105°C.

All substitute parts maintain 5A current rating, 25-position configuration, and solder termination compatibility. Inventory availability is confirmed for all options: 183-025-113R161 (1605 units), 183-025-113R171 (2139 units), and 183-025-113R531 (1392 units).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NorComp 183-025-113R series parts directly replace the Amphenol FCE17B25PC200?

A: Yes. All three NorComp parts (183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, 183-025-113R531) meet the core electrical and mechanical specifications of the FCE17B25PC200. They share identical connector style, pin count, shell size, mounting type, termination method, current rating, and backset spacing. Functional interchangeability is established within the D-Sub connector category.

Q: What are the differences between the three NorComp substitute options?

A: The primary differences are flange design and included features. The 183-025-113R161 has an unthreaded flange matching the FCE17B25PC200. The 183-025-113R171 and 183-025-113R531 both feature 4-40 threaded flanges. The 183-025-113R531 includes board lock functionality, while the 183-025-113R171 includes ground strap. All three include grounding indents.

Q: Does the difference in shell finish (tin plated versus nickel plated) affect compatibility?

A: No. The shell finish difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both tin-plated (FCE17B25PC200) and nickel-plated (NorComp parts) finishes provide corrosion protection and maintain the same connector interface specifications.

Q: Are there differences in contact material between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25PC200 uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the NorComp substitutes use brass contacts. Both materials are suitable for signal-level applications at 5A current rating. The contact finish (gold) is identical across all parts.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range difference?

A: The FCE17B25PC200 operates from -40°C to 85°C, while all NorComp substitutes operate from -55°C to 105°C. The NorComp parts provide extended temperature capability. Selection should be based on the specific application temperature requirements.

Q: Do the substitute parts have the same dielectric material?

A: No. The FCE17B25PC200 uses thermoplastic glass-filled dielectric material, while NorComp substitutes use polyamide (PA9T) nylon 9T. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for the specified electrical applications.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25PC200 is RoHS Compliant. All three NorComp substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant, which represents an updated compliance standard. Both compliance levels are acceptable for RoHS-regulated applications.

Q: Which substitute part should I select if I need threaded flange mounting?

A: Both 183-025-113R171 and 183-025-113R531 feature 4-40 threaded flanges. The 183-025-113R531 additionally includes board lock functionality. Selection between these two depends on whether board lock feature is required for your application.

Q: Is the contact finish thickness difference (15.0µin versus flash) significant?

A: The contact finish thickness difference does not affect functional compatibility for signal-level applications. Both specifications provide adequate gold plating for reliable electrical contact. The 15.0µin thickness on the FCE17B25PC200 provides a thicker gold layer, while the flash coating on NorComp parts provides minimal gold coverage.
