Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCE17C37PA650 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector type: D-Sub Plug, Male Pins
• Number of positions: 37
• Number of rows: 2
• Shell size and layout: 4 (DC, C)
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination method: Solder
• Backset spacing: 0.318" (8.08mm)
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Contact finish: Gold (primary specification; Gold-Palladium acceptable)
• Current rating: 5A minimum
• Operating temperature range: Must encompass or exceed -40°C ~ 85°C
• RoHS compliance status: RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant

All identified substitute parts meet these criteria. Variations in shell material finish (Tin Plated vs. Nickel Plated vs. Tin-Nickel Plated), contact material composition (Phosphor Bronze vs. Copper Alloy vs. Brass), and flange feature design do not preclude substitution when all primary criteria are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts are active products with confirmed production status and meet the core electrical and mechanical specifications of the FCE17C37PA650. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following engineering considerations:

Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products) FCE17C37PA650 and Amphenol ICC (FCI) D37P33E4GX00LF / D37P33E4GV00LF: These parts share the same manufacturer family and offer identical RoHS compliance status. The D37P33 series provides extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and higher voltage rating (300V), making them suitable for applications requiring broader environmental performance margins.

HARTING 09684635812: This part offers the highest current rating (6.5A) among all substitutes and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). It is ROHS3 compliant and provides REACH unaffected status, supporting applications with stringent environmental compliance requirements.

NorComp Inc. 182-037-113R161, 182-037-113R181, and 182-037-113R531: These parts are ROHS3 compliant with extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C). The 182-037-113R531 variant offers the highest inventory availability (5354 units) and is suitable for high-volume procurement scenarios. All NorComp variants feature nickel-plated steel shells and brass contacts, providing alternative material compositions to the primary part.

All substitute parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and maintain the critical 37-position, 2-row, shell size 4 (DC, C) configuration with 0.318" backset spacing required for mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HARTING 09684635812 be used as a direct replacement for the FCE17C37PA650?

A: Yes. Both parts are 37-position D-Sub plugs with male pins, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right-angle mounting, and solder termination. The HARTING part meets all primary substitution criteria. The higher current rating (6.5A vs. 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C vs. -40°C ~ 85°C) provide additional performance margin and do not create compatibility issues.

Q: What is the difference between the NorComp 182-037-113R161 and 182-037-113R181?

A: Both are 37-position D-Sub plugs from NorComp's 182 series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The primary difference is the flange feature: 182-037-113R161 has an unthreaded housing/shell flange, while 182-037-113R181 has a mating side female screwlock (4-40) flange. Selection depends on the mating connector interface requirements in the application.

Q: Are the Amphenol FCI D37P33E4GX00LF and D37P33E4GV00LF interchangeable?

A: Both parts are from the Amphenol FCI Delta D series with identical electrical specifications and operating temperature range. The difference is in the flange feature: D37P33E4GX00LF has a housing/shell (4-40) flange, while D37P33E4GV00LF has a mating side female screwlock (4-40) flange. They are mechanically interchangeable only if the mating connector interface is compatible with the respective flange design.

Q: Does the NorComp 182-037-113R531 have any performance limitations compared to the FCE17C37PA650?

A: No. The 182-037-113R531 meets all primary substitution criteria with identical current rating (5A) and backset spacing (0.318"). It provides extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) and ROHS3 compliance. The primary distinction is material composition: nickel-plated steel shell and brass contacts versus tin-plated steel shell and phosphor bronze contacts in the original part.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitute parts?

A: The FCE17C37PA650 is supplied in bulk packaging. Substitute parts are available in the following formats: HARTING 09684635812 (Bulk), NorComp 182-series parts (Tray), and Amphenol FCI D37P33 series (Tray). Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; selection should be based on procurement and assembly workflow requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PA650 and Amphenol FCI D37P33 series are RoHS Compliant. The HARTING 09684635812 and all NorComp 182-series parts are ROHS3 Compliant. Both compliance levels satisfy RoHS directive requirements and are acceptable for applications with RoHS mandates.

Q: Which substitute part has the highest inventory availability?

A: The NorComp 182-037-113R531 has the highest confirmed inventory with 5354 units in stock, followed by the Amphenol FCI D37P33E4GX00LF (1776 units) and HARTING 09684635812 (1123 units). Inventory levels support procurement planning for both standard and high-volume applications.
