FCE17B25SC4EB D-Sub 25 Position Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The FCE17B25SC4EB is a 25 position D-Sub receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This right-angle, through-hole solder termination connector features female sockets in a DB/B shell size (Size 3) configuration. The connector is actively produced and maintains a current inventory of 657 pieces in new original condition.
Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters that ensure functional interchangeability within D-Sub connector applications. Substitution becomes necessary when the primary part number reaches end-of-life status, inventory constraints occur, or alternative sourcing is required for supply chain optimization.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can FCE17B25SC49B be used as a direct replacement for FCE17B25SC4EB?
A: Yes. FCE17B25SC49B is a parametric equivalent with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is packaging format. Direct substitution requires no design modifications.
Q: What are the main differences between Amphenol ICC and NorComp alternatives?
A: NorComp parts (183 series) offer extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), nickel-plated shell finish, and panel-mount capability. Contact material is brass instead of phosphor bronze. These differences make NorComp parts suitable for applications requiring broader temperature performance or panel mounting.
Q: Are TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE parts compatible with FCE17B25SC4EB?
A: Yes, with operational considerations. TE Connectivity parts share the same connector style, position count, shell size, and mounting type. They feature higher current rating (6A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). Phosphor bronze contact material and tin-plated shell finish match the original part. These parts are suitable for applications requiring higher current capacity or broader temperature performance.
Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference (5A versus 6A)?
A: The FCE17B25SC4EB is rated for 5A maximum current. TE Connectivity AMPLIMITE parts are rated for 6A. In applications where the original design operates at or near 5A, the higher-rated alternatives provide additional margin. However, the application circuit design should be verified to ensure compatibility with the substitute part's specifications.
Q: How do shell material finishes affect connector selection?
A: FCE17B25SC4EB features tin-plated steel shell. NorComp alternatives use nickel-plated steel, and TE Connectivity 5205858-1 uses yellow chromate-plated zinc. These finishes provide different corrosion resistance and environmental protection characteristics. Selection depends on application environment and compatibility with mating connector finishes.
Q: What is the difference between board-side and mating-side flange features?
A: FCE17B25SC4EB features board-side flange (4-40), meaning the mounting holes are on the connector body facing the circuit board. NorComp parts offer mating-side flange options with female screwlock or housing/shell mounting. TE Connectivity parts feature housing/shell flange mounting. Flange feature selection depends on the mechanical mounting requirements of the application.
Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. FCE17B25SC4EB is RoHS Compliant. All substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance (either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant status), ensuring compatibility with RoHS-regulated applications.
Q: What packaging options are available for these connectors?
A: FCE17B25SC4EB is supplied in standard packaging. FCE17B25SC49B is supplied in Box packaging. NorComp parts are supplied in Tray packaging. TE Connectivity parts are supplied in Bulk or Tube packaging. Packaging selection depends on inventory management and assembly process requirements.
Q: Can NorComp parts be used in applications originally designed for Amphenol ICC connectors?
A: Functional compatibility exists for the core connector interface (25 positions, DB/B shell, right-angle solder termination). However, differences in flange feature design, shell material finish, contact material, and operating temperature range require verification against application specifications. Mechanical mounting compatibility must be confirmed before substitution.
Q: Which substitute part offers the highest inventory availability?
A: TE Connectivity 5745536-2 offers the highest inventory with 5499 pieces in stock, followed by 5747838-4 with 3564 pieces. These parts are suitable for high-volume applications or when supply chain continuity is a priority.
