Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCE17B25SB2EB is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector style: D-Sub (mandatory)
• Connector type: Receptacle, Female Sockets (mandatory)
• Number of positions: 25 (mandatory)
• Number of rows: 2 (mandatory)
• Shell size, connector layout: 3 (DB, B) (mandatory)
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle (mandatory)
• Termination: Solder (mandatory)
• Contact type: Signal (mandatory)

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Current rating: 5A minimum
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0 (mandatory)
• Contact finish: Gold (mandatory)
• Shell material: Steel (mandatory)

Substitute parts identified in this reference maintain all primary compatibility criteria. Variations in secondary parameters such as backset spacing, contact finish thickness, flange feature design, dielectric material composition, and operating temperature range are documented to enable informed engineering selection based on specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Active Product Status Substitutes:

The D25S13A4GX00LF and D25S13A4GV00LF (Amphenol ICC, Delta D series) are active products with the highest inventory availability (10,200 and 1,501 pieces respectively). Both parts maintain full compliance with RoHS requirements and provide extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) compared to the FCE17B25SB2EB. These parts are suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance and regulatory compliance.

The 5745440-1 and 5745440-4 (TE Connectivity, AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series) are active products with current ratings of 6A, exceeding the FCE17B25SB2EB specification of 5A. Both maintain RoHS compliance and provide 125V voltage rating. These parts are appropriate for applications with higher current requirements or voltage specifications.

The 182-025-213R531 (NorComp, Series 182) is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C). This part includes panel mount capability in addition to through-hole mounting.

Obsolete Product Status:

The 745440-1 (TE Connectivity, AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series) is classified as obsolete and carries RoHS non-compliant status. This part is not recommended for new designs or applications requiring regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the D25S13A4GX00LF replace the FCE17B25SB2EB in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical connector style, position count, row configuration, shell size, mounting type, and termination method. The D25S13A4GX00LF provides equivalent electrical performance with enhanced operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C) and higher voltage rating (300V versus unspecified). Backset spacing differs slightly (0.409" versus 0.405"), which may require PCB layout verification for specific applications.

Q: What is the significance of backset spacing variation among substitute parts?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the mounting surface to the contact plane. Variations between 0.318" and 0.454" affect PCB layout, component clearance, and mechanical fit. The FCE17B25SB2EB specifies 0.405" (10.29mm). Substitute parts with different backset spacing require verification against PCB design specifications and mechanical assembly requirements before implementation.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Five of six substitute parts listed are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant. The 745440-1 (TE Connectivity) is RoHS non-compliant and is classified as obsolete. For applications requiring regulatory compliance with RoHS directives, select from the five active, compliant alternatives.

Q: How do current rating differences affect part selection?

A: The FCE17B25SB2EB is rated at 5A. The 5745440-1 and 5745440-4 (TE Connectivity) are rated at 6A per contact. The D25S13A4GX00LF and D25S13A4GV00LF are rated at 5A per contact. The 182-025-213R531 is rated at 5A. Higher current ratings provide design margin for applications approaching maximum current specifications. Selection should align with actual circuit current requirements and thermal management considerations.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: The FCE17B25SB2EB packaging is not specified. Substitute parts are available in tray packaging (182-025-213R531, 5745440-1, 5745440-4, D25S13A4GX00LF, D25S13A4GV00LF). Packaging format affects handling, storage, and assembly process integration. Verify packaging compatibility with manufacturing and supply chain requirements.

Q: Which substitute part offers the widest operating temperature range?

A: The D25S13A4GX00LF and D25S13A4GV00LF (Amphenol ICC, Delta D series) provide the widest operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C. The FCE17B25SB2EB operates from -40°C ~ 85°C. Extended temperature range capability is beneficial for applications in extreme thermal environments or where future design margin is required.

Q: Are there differences in flange feature design among substitute parts?

A: Yes. The FCE17B25SB2EB features Housing/Shell (Unthreaded) flange. Substitute parts vary: 182-025-213R531 includes Housing/Shell (4-40) with board lock; 5745440-1 and 5745440-4 feature Mating Side with Standard Screws; D25S13A4GX00LF includes Housing/Shell (4-40) with board lock; D25S13A4GV00LF features Mating Side with Female Screwlock (4-40). Flange design affects mating interface, cable retention, and assembly method. Verify compatibility with mating connector specifications.
