FCE17B25PC6EB D-Sub 25 Position Plug Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCE17B25PC6EB is a 25 position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This right-angle, through-hole solder termination connector features male pins in a 2-row configuration with shell size 3 (DB, B) layout. The connector is designed for signal applications with a 5A current rating and operates across the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The part maintains active product status and is RoHS compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, supply chain continuity, or specific application requirements where alternative mounting configurations or extended operating temperature ranges are beneficial.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCE17B25PC6EB are identified from the NorComp Inc. 183 series based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Core Matching Parameters:

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

Substitute Parts:

• 183-025-113R161 (NorComp Inc.)
• 183-025-113R171 (NorComp Inc.)
• 183-025-113R531 (NorComp Inc.)

All substitute parts maintain the same electrical and mechanical interface specifications as the FCE17B25PC6EB, ensuring direct functional compatibility in applications requiring 25 position D-Sub plug connectors with right-angle solder termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts (183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, 183-025-113R531) are active products with full regulatory compliance. Selection among these alternatives is based on flange feature requirements and specific mounting configuration needs:

183-025-113R161: Features unthreaded housing/shell flange. Suitable for applications requiring standard panel mount through-hole installation without threaded fastening points.

183-025-113R171: Features 4-40 threaded housing/shell flange with ground strap. Appropriate for applications requiring threaded fastening and enhanced grounding capability.

183-025-113R531: Features 4-40 threaded housing/shell flange with board lock mechanism. Designed for applications requiring threaded fastening and mechanical board-level retention.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C) compared to the FCE17B25PC6EB (-40°C to 85°C). The NorComp connectors utilize nickel-plated steel shells and brass contacts with flash gold finish, compared to the Amphenol ICC tin-plated steel shell and phosphor bronze contacts with 15.0µin gold plating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the NorComp 183 series connectors directly replace the Amphenol ICC FCE17B25PC6EB?

A: Yes. The NorComp 183-025-113R161, 183-025-113R171, and 183-025-113R531 connectors are functionally equivalent to the FCE17B25PC6EB. All maintain identical pin count (25 positions), shell size (3/DB-B), mounting configuration (through-hole right-angle), termination method (solder), and electrical ratings (5A current). The connectors are mechanically and electrically interchangeable at the interface level.

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

A: The three NorComp substitutes differ in flange configuration. The 183-025-113R161 features an unthreaded housing/shell flange for standard panel mounting. The 183-025-113R171 and 183-025-113R531 both feature 4-40 threaded flanges for secure fastening. The 183-025-113R531 additionally incorporates a board lock mechanism for enhanced mechanical retention.

Q: Are there temperature rating differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25PC6EB operates from -40°C to 85°C. All three NorComp substitute parts operate across an extended range of -55°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C or above 85°C benefit from the NorComp alternatives.

Q: What is the difference between tin plating and nickel plating on the shell?

A: The FCE17B25PC6EB features a tin-plated steel shell, while all NorComp substitutes feature nickel-plated steel shells. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance. Nickel plating offers enhanced durability in harsh environments and superior wear resistance. Tin plating provides excellent solderability and lower contact resistance.

Q: Do the contact finish specifications differ between parts?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25PC6EB specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold contact finish thickness. The NorComp substitutes specify flash gold finish, which is a thinner application. Both provide adequate contact performance for signal-level applications at 5A current rating.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: The FCE17B25PC6EB is RoHS compliant. All three NorComp substitutes are ROHS3 compliant, representing the current RoHS directive standard. Both compliance levels are acceptable for modern electronic applications.

Q: What packaging differences exist?

A: The FCE17B25PC6EB packaging specification is not provided. All three NorComp substitutes are supplied in tray packaging, which is standard for high-volume connector distribution.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for a new design?

A: Selection depends on mounting requirements. For standard panel mounting without threaded fasteners, use 183-025-113R161. For applications requiring threaded fastening, use 183-025-113R171. For applications requiring both threaded fastening and mechanical board-level retention, use 183-025-113R531.
