Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts maintain active product status and comply with RoHS requirements, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory compliance. The FCE17B25PC600 and all NorComp alternatives (183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, 183-025-113R181, 183-025-113R531, 183-025-113R561) are functionally equivalent for applications requiring 25-position D-Sub plug connectors with solder termination and 5A current capacity.

Selection among substitute parts should be based on specific flange feature requirements and operating temperature constraints:

183-025-113R161: Unthreaded housing/shell flange, operating temperature -55°C to 105°C 183-025-113R171: 4-40 threaded housing/shell flange, operating temperature -55°C to 105°C 183-025-113R181: 4-40 mating side female screwlock, operating temperature -55°C to 105°C 183-025-113R531: 4-40 threaded housing/shell flange with board lock feature, operating temperature -55°C to 105°C 183-025-113R561: 4-40 mating side female screwlock with board lock feature, operating temperature -55°C to 105°C

The FCE17B25PC600 features an M3 housing/shell flange with board lock and filter features, operating temperature -40°C to 85°C. NorComp alternatives provide extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) and ROHS3 compliance status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can NorComp 183-025-113R series connectors directly replace the Amphenol FCE17B25PC600?

A: Yes. All listed NorComp parts maintain electrical and mechanical equivalence across the critical parameters: 25-position configuration, DB/B shell size, 5A current rating, solder termination, and 0.590" backset spacing. Functional substitution is supported.

Q: What are the differences in flange features among the NorComp substitute parts?

A: The NorComp 183-025 series offers three flange configurations: unthreaded housing/shell (183-025-113R161), 4-40 threaded housing/shell (183-025-113R171 and 183-025-113R531), and 4-40 mating side female screwlock (183-025-113R181 and 183-025-113R561). Selection depends on the mating interface requirements of the application.

Q: Does the extended operating temperature range of NorComp parts affect compatibility?

A: No. The NorComp alternatives operate from -55°C to 105°C, which encompasses the FCE17B25PC600 operating range of -40°C to 85°C. Extended temperature capability does not compromise compatibility in applications within the original temperature specification.

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

A: Yes. The FCE17B25PC600 uses phosphor bronze contacts, while NorComp substitutes use brass contacts. Both materials support the 5A current rating and gold finish specification. Contact material differences do not affect electrical performance within the specified current and voltage parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the board lock feature?

A: The FCE17B25PC600 and NorComp parts 183-025-113R531 and 183-025-113R561 include board lock features for mechanical retention during assembly. Parts without board lock (183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, 183-025-113R181) rely on flange features for positioning. Selection should match the assembly method requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts available in the same packaging format?

A: The FCE17B25PC600 packaging is not specified in the provided data. All NorComp substitute parts are supplied in tray packaging. Confirm packaging compatibility with procurement requirements before selection.

Q: Do the NorComp parts maintain the same backset spacing as the Amphenol connector?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing, ensuring dimensional compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mating connectors.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to all listed parts?

A: All parts are RoHS compliant (FCE17B25PC600: RoHS Compliant; NorComp parts: ROHS3 Compliant), classified as EAR99 for export control, and assigned HTSUS code 8536.69.4040. Compliance status supports use in regulated applications.
