Engineering Selection Recommendations
NorComp 183 Series Substitutes (183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, 183-025-113R181, 183-025-113R531, 183-025-113R561)
The NorComp 183 series connectors provide direct functional equivalence to the FCE17B25PC210 with identical position count, row configuration, shell size, and backset spacing. All NorComp variants are ROHS3 compliant and rated for extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 105°C). These parts feature nickel-plated steel shells and brass contacts with flash gold finish.
Selection among NorComp variants depends on flange configuration requirements:
- 183-025-113R161: Unthreaded housing flange, equivalent to original part mounting
- 183-025-113R171: 4-40 threaded housing flange
- 183-025-113R181: Mating side female screwlock (4-40)
- 183-025-113R531: 4-40 threaded housing flange with board lock feature
- 183-025-113R561: Mating side female screwlock (4-40) with board lock feature

These parts feature 6A current rating and 125V voltage rating. The 205857-1 is RoHS non-compliant with yellow chromate plated zinc finish. The 5205857-1 is ROHS3 compliant with identical shell finish. Both feature mating side standard screws (4-40) flange configuration and mounting brackets.
Note: Backset spacing differs at 0.545" (13.84mm) compared to 0.590" (14.99mm) of the original part.
TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE HD-20 Series (5747022-2)
The 5747022-2 connector provides 25 position, 2-row, shell size 3 configuration with right angle solder termination, 6A current rating, and 125V voltage rating. This part features tin-plated steel shell matching the original part finish, ROHS3 compliance, and mating side female screwlock (4-40) flange configuration with mounting brackets and grounding indents.
Note: Backset spacing differs at 0.545" (13.84mm) compared to 0.590" (14.99mm) of the original part.
Compliance Considerations
For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the NorComp 183 series (all variants), TE Connectivity 5205857-1, and TE Connectivity 5747022-2 are suitable. The TE Connectivity 205857-1 is RoHS non-compliant and should not be selected for regulated applications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can NorComp 183 series connectors directly replace the FCE17B25PC210?
A: Yes. The NorComp 183 series maintains identical position count (25), row configuration (2), shell size (3/DB-B), mounting orientation (right angle), and termination method (solder). All variants are functionally equivalent for signal transmission. Selection among variants depends on specific flange configuration requirements for your application.
Q: What is the difference between the various NorComp 183 flange configurations?
A: The 183-025-113R161 features an unthreaded housing flange, providing the closest mechanical match to the original FCE17B25PC210. The 183-025-113R171 and 183-025-113R531 include 4-40 threaded holes in the housing shell. The 183-025-113R181 and 183-025-113R561 feature mating side female screwlock connectors with 4-40 threads. The 183-025-113R531 and 183-025-113R561 include board lock features.
Q: Why do TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE connectors have different backset spacing?
A: The TE Connectivity 205857-1, 5205857-1, and 5747022-2 connectors have backset spacing of 0.545" (13.84mm) compared to 0.590" (14.99mm) for the FCE17B25PC210 and NorComp 183 series. This difference reflects different connector series designs. Backset spacing affects the distance from the connector mounting surface to the contact plane. Verify your application's tolerance for this dimensional variation before substitution.
Q: Are there RoHS compliance differences among the substitute parts?
A: Yes. The NorComp 183 series (all variants), TE Connectivity 5205857-1, and TE Connectivity 5747022-2 are ROHS3 compliant. The TE Connectivity 205857-1 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, select only from the compliant variants.
Q: What is the current rating difference between the original part and substitutes?
A: The FCE17B25PC210 and all NorComp 183 series variants are rated for 5A continuous current. The TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE series (205857-1, 5205857-1, and 5747022-2) are rated for 6A continuous current. The higher rating of TE Connectivity parts provides additional current capacity margin.
Q: Do all substitute parts have gold-plated contacts?
A: Yes. All substitute parts feature gold-plated contacts. The FCE17B25PC210 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold plating thickness. The NorComp 183 series and TE Connectivity parts specify flash gold plating, which provides adequate contact protection for signal applications.
Q: What is the operating temperature range difference?
A: The FCE17B25PC210 operates from -40°C to 85°C. All substitute parts operate from -55°C to 105°C, providing wider temperature range capability. This extended range is suitable for applications requiring lower minimum or higher maximum operating temperatures.
Q: Can I use TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE connectors as direct mechanical replacements?
A: TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE connectors maintain identical position count, row configuration, shell size, and right angle orientation. However, the backset spacing difference (0.545" versus 0.590") requires verification of your PCB or mounting surface layout. Additionally, the AMPLIMITE series includes mounting brackets not present on the original part. Confirm mechanical fit before substitution.
Q: Which substitute part most closely matches the original FCE17B25PC210?
A: The NorComp 183-025-113R161 provides the closest match, maintaining identical backset spacing (0.590"), unthreaded housing flange configuration, and right angle through-hole mounting. This variant is recommended when direct mechanical and electrical equivalence is required.
