Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All five substitute parts are qualified for use as electrical and mechanical equivalents to the FCE17B25PC650 based on compliance with mandatory parameters. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following criteria:

For applications requiring extended operating temperature range: All NorComp substitute parts (183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, 183-025-113R181, 183-025-113R531, 183-025-113R561) operate from -55°C to 105°C, compared to the FCE17B25PC650 range of -40°C to 85°C. These substitutes are suitable for applications requiring broader thermal performance.

For applications with specific flange requirements:

• 183-025-113R161: Unthreaded housing/shell flange
• 183-025-113R171: Housing/shell with 4-40 thread
• 183-025-113R181: Mating side female screwlock (4-40)
• 183-025-113R531: Housing/shell with 4-40 thread and board lock feature
• 183-025-113R561: Mating side female screwlock (4-40) with board lock feature

For applications requiring board lock feature: Parts 183-025-113R531 and 183-025-113R561 include board lock functionality, matching the FCE17B25PC650 feature set.

For RoHS compliance: All substitute parts meet ROHS3 Compliant status, which exceeds the RoHS Compliant status of the original part.

For inventory availability: NorComp parts show higher stock levels (1140 to 2139 units) compared to the FCE17B25PC650 (1015 units).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NorComp 183-025-113R series parts be used as direct replacements for the Amphenol FCE17B25PC650?

A: Yes, all five NorComp parts (183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, 183-025-113R181, 183-025-113R531, 183-025-113R561) meet the mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters for substitution. They maintain identical connector style, pin count, shell size, mounting type, termination method, current rating, and backset spacing. Differences in shell finish material, contact material, and flange configuration are allowable variations within the D-Sub 25-position plug connector category.

Q: What are the key differences between the substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are in flange feature design and board lock capability. The 183-025-113R161 features an unthreaded housing/shell flange. The 183-025-113R171 and 183-025-113R531 include 4-40 threaded housing/shell flanges, with 183-025-113R531 adding board lock functionality. The 183-025-113R181 and 183-025-113R561 feature mating side female screwlock (4-40) configurations, with 183-025-113R561 including board lock. All parts share identical electrical specifications and operating temperature ranges.

Q: Does the change from tin-plated to nickel-plated shell finish affect connector performance?

A: Both tin-plated and nickel-plated steel shell finishes are acceptable for D-Sub connectors in this category. The shell finish does not affect electrical performance or signal integrity. Selection between these finishes depends on application-specific corrosion resistance requirements and environmental exposure conditions.

Q: Are the contact material differences (Phosphor Bronze vs. Brass) significant?

A: Both phosphor bronze and brass are acceptable contact materials for D-Sub connectors with 5A current rating. Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and mechanical durability for solder termination applications. The choice between these materials does not impact electrical performance within the specified operating parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) in the NorComp substitutes?

A: The NorComp parts support a broader operating temperature range than the FCE17B25PC650 (-40°C to 85°C). This extended range makes the NorComp substitutes suitable for applications requiring operation at lower or higher temperatures. If your application operates within the FCE17B25PC650 temperature range, either the original part or any substitute is acceptable.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected if board lock feature is required?

A: Parts 183-025-113R531 and 183-025-113R561 include board lock functionality, matching the FCE17B25PC650 feature set. Choose 183-025-113R531 if a 4-40 threaded housing/shell flange is required, or 183-025-113R561 if a mating side female screwlock (4-40) configuration is needed.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, all five NorComp substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant, which meets or exceeds the RoHS Compliant status of the FCE17B25PC650.

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

A: All NorComp substitute parts are supplied in Tray packaging, compared to the FCE17B25PC650 which has unspecified packaging. Tray packaging is standard for D-Sub connectors and does not affect connector functionality or performance.
