FCE17B25PC480 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCE17B25PC480 is a 25-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This male pins connector features right-angle solder termination and is designed for through-hole mounting applications. The connector is classified as active product status with 891 pieces currently in stock. D-Sub connectors of this configuration are widely used in industrial control systems, data acquisition equipment, and legacy computing interfaces where reliable signal transmission across multiple channels is required. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part becomes unavailable or when design requirements necessitate alternative specifications within compatible parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCE17B25PC480 are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility within the D-Sub connector category. The following parameters establish substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector style (D-Sub)
• Connector type (Plug, Male Pins)
• Number of positions (25)
• Number of rows (2)
• Shell size and layout (3 / DB, B)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Current rating (5A)
• Backset spacing (0.590" / 14.99mm)
• Contact type (Signal)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Color (Black)

Allowable Variations: Substitute parts may differ in shell material finish (tin plated versus nickel plated), contact material composition (phosphor bronze versus brass), flange feature design (4-40 threaded versus unthreaded), dielectric material formulation (thermoplastic glass-filled versus polyamide), and operating temperature range extensions. These variations do not compromise functional compatibility in standard applications.

The three NorComp Inc. parts (183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, 183-025-113R531) meet all critical matching parameters and are therefore qualified as direct substitutes for the Amphenol ICC FCE17B25PC480.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three NorComp substitute parts (183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, 183-025-113R531) are active products with confirmed RoHS3 compliance status, exceeding the RoHS compliance requirement of the primary FCE17B25PC480 part. The NorComp parts provide extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 105°C) compared to the Amphenol ICC part (-40°C to 85°C), offering enhanced thermal performance for applications requiring broader environmental tolerance.

183-025-113R161 Selection Criteria: This part features an unthreaded flange design, distinguishing it from the primary part and the other two substitutes. Selection of this variant is appropriate when panel mount applications do not require threaded fastening provisions. Current inventory of 1,605 pieces supports immediate availability.

183-025-113R171 Selection Criteria: This part maintains the 4-40 threaded flange feature matching the primary FCE17B25PC480 configuration, providing direct mechanical compatibility for applications utilizing threaded mounting. Current inventory of 2,139 pieces provides the highest stock availability among all substitute options.

183-025-113R531 Selection Criteria: This part combines the 4-40 threaded flange with board lock features, offering enhanced mechanical retention. Current inventory of 1,392 pieces supports standard lead-time requirements.

All substitute parts maintain signal contact type, 5A current rating, and gold contact finish specifications. Contact material composition differences (brass versus phosphor bronze) and dielectric material variations (polyamide versus thermoplastic glass-filled) do not affect functional compatibility in standard signal transmission applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NorComp 183-025-113R161 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC FCE17B25PC480?

A: The 183-025-113R161 is functionally compatible for signal transmission applications. The primary difference is the unthreaded flange design versus the 4-40 threaded flange on the FCE17B25PC480. If the application requires threaded fastening, the 183-025-113R171 or 183-025-113R531 are more appropriate selections.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish thickness difference (15.0µin versus Flash)?

A: Both specifications provide adequate gold plating for signal contact applications. The 15.0µin thickness on the FCE17B25PC480 provides a thicker gold layer, while the Flash specification on NorComp parts provides minimal gold coverage. Both meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and support 5A current ratings.

Q: Are the NorComp parts suitable for applications with extended temperature requirements?

A: Yes. The NorComp substitute parts operate across -55°C to 105°C, compared to the FCE17B25PC480 range of -40°C to 85°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 85°C benefit from NorComp part selection.

Q: What is the difference between the three NorComp substitute options?

A: The primary differences are flange design and retention features. The 183-025-113R161 has an unthreaded flange. The 183-025-113R171 has a 4-40 threaded flange. The 183-025-113R531 has a 4-40 threaded flange with board lock features. All three maintain identical electrical specifications and connector geometry.

Q: Do the substitute parts require any design modifications for implementation?

A: No design modifications are required. All substitute parts maintain identical connector geometry, pin configuration, backset spacing (0.590"), and solder termination specifications. Direct mechanical and electrical substitution is supported.

Q: What is the inventory status for each substitute part?

A: Current inventory levels are: 183-025-113R161 (1,605 pieces), 183-025-113R171 (2,139 pieces), and 183-025-113R531 (1,392 pieces). All parts are available as new original stock.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three NorComp substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification, which exceeds the RoHS compliance status of the primary FCE17B25PC480 part.
