Engineering Selection Recommendations
Primary Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):
The NorComp Inc. series 183 connectors (183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, 183-025-113R181, 183-025-113R531, 183-025-113R561) provide direct functional equivalence to the FCE17B25PC6DB. These parts maintain identical 25 position D-Sub configuration, solder termination, and gold contact finish. All NorComp substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant and support extended operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 105°C), exceeding the original part specification. Backset spacing remains constant at 0.590" (14.99mm). Selection among NorComp variants depends on flange feature requirements: Housing/Shell (Unthreaded) for 183-025-113R161, Housing/Shell (4-40) for 183-025-113R171 and 183-025-113R531, or Mating Side Female Screwlock (4-40) for 183-025-113R181 and 183-025-113R561.
Secondary Substitutes (TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE Series):
The TE Connectivity parts 205857-1, 5205857-1, and 5747022-2 maintain core D-Sub 25 position configuration with solder termination and gold contact finish. These connectors support higher current ratings (6A versus 5A) and include 125V voltage rating specification. The 5205857-1 and 5747022-2 are ROHS3 Compliant. Backset spacing differs at 0.545" (13.84mm), which may require PCB layout verification. The 205857-1 is RoHS non-compliant and should be selected only when legacy compliance status is acceptable. All TE Connectivity substitutes support -55°C ~ 105°C operating temperature range.
Compliance Considerations:
For applications requiring RoHS compliance, select from NorComp ROHS3 Compliant variants (183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, 183-025-113R181, 183-025-113R531, 183-025-113R561) or TE Connectivity ROHS3 Compliant variants (5205857-1, 5747022-2). The original FCE17B25PC6DB is RoHS Compliant. The TE Connectivity 205857-1 is RoHS non-compliant and not suitable for RoHS-restricted applications.
Inventory Availability:
NorComp 183-025-113R171 offers the highest inventory level (2139 units), followed by 183-025-113R531 (1392 units) and 183-025-113R161 (1605 units). TE Connectivity 5747022-2 provides 1645 units. The original FCE17B25PC6DB has 688 units available.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I substitute a NorComp 183-025-113R161 for the FCE17B25PC6DB in my design?
A: Yes. Both connectors share identical 25 position D-Sub configuration, male pins, right angle mounting, solder termination, and gold contact finish. The NorComp part supports extended operating temperature (-55°C ~ 105°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C) and is ROHS3 Compliant. Backset spacing is identical at 0.590" (14.99mm). Verify flange feature compatibility with your PCB layout, as the 183-025-113R161 features Housing/Shell (Unthreaded) configuration.
Q: What is the difference between the various NorComp 183 series substitutes?
A: All NorComp 183 series variants (183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, 183-025-113R181, 183-025-113R531, 183-025-113R561) maintain identical electrical specifications and 25 position D-Sub configuration. Differences exist only in flange feature design: 183-025-113R161 has Housing/Shell (Unthreaded), 183-025-113R171 and 183-025-113R531 have Housing/Shell (4-40), and 183-025-113R181 and 183-025-113R561 have Mating Side Female Screwlock (4-40). Additionally, 183-025-113R531 and 183-025-113R561 include Board Lock feature. Select based on your mechanical mounting requirements.
Q: Can I use TE Connectivity 205857-1 in a RoHS-compliant application?
A: No. The TE Connectivity 205857-1 is RoHS non-compliant. For RoHS-restricted applications, select the TE Connectivity 5205857-1 or 5747022-2, both of which are ROHS3 Compliant. Alternatively, use any NorComp 183 series variant, which are all ROHS3 Compliant.
Q: What is the impact of different backset spacing between substitutes?
A: The FCE17B25PC6DB and all NorComp 183 series substitutes maintain 0.590" (14.99mm) backset spacing. The TE Connectivity parts (205857-1, 5205857-1, 5747022-2) have 0.545" (13.84mm) backset spacing. This difference affects PCB hole positioning and connector seating depth. Verify PCB layout compatibility before selecting TE Connectivity substitutes.
Q: Are there any temperature rating differences I should consider?
A: The FCE17B25PC6DB operates from -40°C to 85°C. All substitute parts support extended temperature range of -55°C to 105°C. This means substitutes are suitable for applications requiring the original temperature range and also for applications requiring lower minimum temperatures or higher maximum temperatures.
Q: What is the current rating difference between the FCE17B25PC6DB and TE Connectivity substitutes?
A: The FCE17B25PC6DB and all NorComp 183 series substitutes are rated for 5A. The TE Connectivity parts (205857-1, 5205857-1, 5747022-2) are rated for 6A. The higher rating of TE Connectivity parts provides additional current capacity margin but does not prevent substitution in 5A applications.
Q: How do shell material finishes affect substitution?
A: The FCE17B25PC6DB has Steel, Tin Plated finish. NorComp 183 series substitutes have Steel, Nickel Plated finish. TE Connectivity 205857-1 and 5205857-1 have Steel, Yellow Chromate Plated Zinc finish. TE Connectivity 5747022-2 has Steel, Tin Plated finish. Different finishes provide varying corrosion resistance and environmental protection. Select based on your application's environmental exposure requirements.
Q: Can I mix and match different substitute parts in the same assembly?
A: Yes, provided all selected parts meet your application's electrical, mechanical, and compliance requirements. However, maintaining consistency within an assembly simplifies inventory management and documentation. If mixing parts, verify that backset spacing and flange features are compatible with your PCB layout.
