FCE17B25PC4EB D-Sub 25 Position Plug Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCE17B25PC4EB is a 25 position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This D-shaped connector features male pins, right-angle through-hole mounting, and solder termination. The connector is actively produced and maintains an inventory of 914 pieces in new original condition. Substitute parts are identified when the primary part becomes unavailable, when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing, or when design flexibility permits equivalent connector configurations that meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCE17B25PC4EB are qualified based on the following criteria:

Core Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector style: D-Sub
• Connector type: Plug with male pins
• Position count: 25 positions in 2-row configuration
• Shell size: 3 (DB, B)
• Mounting: Through-hole, right-angle orientation
• Termination method: Solder
• Current rating: 5A minimum
• Backset spacing: 0.590" (14.99mm)
• Contact type: Signal
• Material flammability: UL94 V-0

Regulatory and Environmental Compliance:

• RoHS compliance (RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant)
• ECCN classification: EAR99
• HTSUS code: 8536.69.4040

The three substitute parts (183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, 183-025-113R531) manufactured by NorComp Inc. meet all core compatibility parameters. Variations in shell material finish, contact material composition, flange feature design, and operating temperature range do not prevent functional substitution when these parameters fall within acceptable engineering tolerances for the application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three NorComp substitute parts (183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, 183-025-113R531) are actively produced and maintain regulatory compliance. The following factors apply to part selection:

Regulatory Compliance: The FCE17B25PC4EB carries RoHS Compliant status, while all substitute parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status. Both certifications satisfy RoHS requirements and are functionally equivalent for regulatory purposes.

Product Status: All parts maintain active production status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability.

Operating Temperature Range: The FCE17B25PC4EB operates from -40°C to 85°C. The NorComp substitutes operate from -55°C to 105°C, providing an extended temperature envelope. Applications requiring operation within the FCE17B25PC4EB range are fully supported by all substitute parts.

Shell Material and Contact Composition: The FCE17B25PC4EB uses tin-plated steel shell with phosphor bronze contacts. NorComp substitutes use nickel-plated steel shell with brass contacts. Both material combinations support the 5A current rating and signal contact application.

Flange Feature Variations: The FCE17B25PC4EB features board-side 4-40 mounting. Substitute 183-025-113R161 features unthreaded housing/shell flange, while 183-025-113R171 and 183-025-113R531 feature 4-40 housing/shell flange. Flange feature selection depends on specific mounting requirements.

Additional Features: The FCE17B25PC4EB includes filter, grounding indents, and mounting brackets. Substitute 183-025-113R161 includes ground strap and grounding indents. Substitutes 183-025-113R171 and 183-025-113R531 include ground strap and grounding indents, with 183-025-113R531 adding board lock feature.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NorComp 183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, or 183-025-113R531 directly replace the Amphenol FCE17B25PC4EB in existing designs?

A: Yes. All substitute parts share identical connector style, position count, shell size, mounting type, termination method, current rating, and backset spacing. The connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible for D-Sub 25 position plug applications requiring solder termination and 5A current capacity.

Q: What are the differences in shell material finish between the main part and substitutes?

A: The FCE17B25PC4EB features tin-plated steel shell. The NorComp substitutes feature nickel-plated steel shell. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and are suitable for signal-level D-Sub connector applications. Material finish selection depends on specific environmental and application requirements.

Q: How do the contact materials differ?

A: The FCE17B25PC4EB uses phosphor bronze contacts. The NorComp substitutes use brass contacts. Both materials support the 5A current rating and signal contact application. Contact material selection depends on specific electrical performance and environmental requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the flange feature differences?

A: The FCE17B25PC4EB features board-side 4-40 mounting. Substitute 183-025-113R161 features unthreaded housing/shell flange, suitable for applications without threaded mounting requirements. Substitutes 183-025-113R171 and 183-025-113R531 feature 4-40 housing/shell flange, compatible with threaded mounting. Flange feature selection depends on PCB or panel mounting configuration.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25PC4EB carries RoHS Compliant certification. All three NorComp substitutes carry ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both certifications satisfy RoHS directive requirements and are functionally equivalent for regulatory compliance purposes.

Q: What is the difference between the 183-025-113R171 and 183-025-113R531?

A: Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is the additional board lock feature on the 183-025-113R531. This feature provides mechanical retention on the PCB. Selection depends on whether board lock functionality is required for the application.

Q: Do the substitute parts support the same operating temperature range as the FCE17B25PC4EB?

A: The FCE17B25PC4EB operates from -40°C to 85°C. The NorComp substitutes operate from -55°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation within the FCE17B25PC4EB temperature range are fully supported by all substitute parts. The extended range of the substitutes provides additional design flexibility for wider temperature applications.

Q: What packaging format are the substitute parts supplied in?

A: The FCE17B25PC4EB packaging format is not specified in the provided data. All three NorComp substitute parts are supplied in tray packaging.

Q: Are the substitute parts available in adequate inventory quantities?

A: Yes. The 183-025-113R161 maintains 1605 pieces in stock, the 183-025-113R171 maintains 2139 pieces in stock, and the 183-025-113R531 maintains 1392 pieces in stock. All substitute parts are available in new original condition with substantial inventory levels.
