Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCE17C37PB24B are qualified based on the following core parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug, Male Pins
• Number of Positions: 37
• Number of Rows: 2
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 4 (DC, C)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Contact Type: Signal
• Current Rating: 5A (or 5A per Contact)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Color: Black

Allowable Variations in Substitute Parts:

• Flange Feature (Housing/Shell unthreaded, M3 threaded, or 4-40 threaded)
• Shell Material Finish (Tin Plated versus Tin-Nickel Plated)
• Contact Finish Thickness (15.0µin versus Flash)
• Contact Material (Phosphor Bronze versus Brass)
• Backset Spacing (0.405" versus 0.409")
• Operating Temperature Range (wider range acceptable)
• Dielectric Material (Thermoplastic Glass Filled versus Polybutylene Terephthalate)
• Voltage Rating (presence of rating in substitute)

The three substitute parts—D37P13A4GL00LF, D37P13A4GV00LF, and D37P13A4GX00LF—all belong to the Delta D series and satisfy these core parameters while offering different flange configurations and material specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts maintain active product status and comply with RoHS regulations. The selection between FCE17C37PB24B and its substitutes depends on specific application requirements regarding flange configuration and operating environment.

FCE17C37PB24B is suitable for applications requiring an unthreaded housing/shell flange with a narrower operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C). This part uses phosphor bronze contacts and tin-plated steel shell finish.

D37P13A4GL00LF provides an M3 threaded flange feature with an extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and tin-nickel plated steel shell finish. This variant is appropriate for applications requiring threaded mounting and broader temperature tolerance.

D37P13A4GV00LF features a mating side female screwlock (4-40) flange configuration, also with extended operating temperature range and tin-nickel plated finish. This variant is suitable for applications requiring screw-lock mating interface security.

D37P13A4GX00LF incorporates a housing/shell 4-40 threaded flange with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Affected status. This variant is appropriate for applications requiring housing-mounted threaded fastening and compliance with REACH regulations.

All substitute parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI division) and share the same core electrical and mechanical specifications as the FCE17C37PB24B, including 37-position configuration, right-angle through-hole mounting, solder termination, and 5A current rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D37P13A4GL00LF be used as a direct replacement for FCE17C37PB24B?

A: D37P13A4GL00LF is functionally equivalent for 37-position D-Sub plug applications with the same mounting type and termination method. The primary difference is the M3 threaded flange feature on D37P13A4GL00LF versus the unthreaded housing/shell on FCE17C37PB24B. Mechanical compatibility depends on the application's flange mounting requirements.

Q: What is the difference between the three substitute parts?

A: The three substitute parts differ in flange configuration: D37P13A4GL00LF has M3 threaded housing/shell, D37P13A4GV00LF has mating side female screwlock (4-40), and D37P13A4GX00LF has housing/shell 4-40 threaded. All three share identical electrical specifications and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).

Q: Are there differences in contact material between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. FCE17C37PB24B uses phosphor bronze contacts, while all three substitute parts use brass contacts. Both materials are suitable for signal contact applications with 5A current rating.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference?

A: FCE17C37PB24B has 0.405" (10.29mm) backset spacing, while all substitute parts have 0.409" (10.40mm) backset spacing. This 0.004" difference may affect mechanical fit in applications with tight spacing constraints.

Q: Does the shell finish difference affect electrical performance?

A: FCE17C37PB24B uses tin-plated steel shell, while substitutes use tin-nickel plated steel shell. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and are suitable for signal contact applications. The tin-nickel finish offers enhanced durability in certain environmental conditions.

Q: What is the difference between contact finish thickness specifications?

A: FCE17C37PB24B specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold contact finish thickness, while substitute parts specify flash gold finish. Flash finish provides minimal gold plating thickness for cost efficiency while maintaining contact performance.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: FCE17C37PB24B, D37P13A4GL00LF, and D37P13A4GV00LF are RoHS Compliant. D37P13A4GX00LF is ROHS3 Compliant, which represents a more recent revision of RoHS regulations.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference?

A: FCE17C37PB24B operates from -40°C to 85°C. All three substitute parts operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing a wider temperature range suitable for more demanding environmental applications.

Q: Does D37P13A4GX00LF have REACH compliance implications?

A: D37P13A4GX00LF is marked as REACH Affected, indicating it contains substances of concern under REACH regulations. FCE17C37PB24B and the other two substitutes are REACH Unaffected. Applications subject to REACH restrictions should use FCE17C37PB24B, D37P13A4GL00LF, or D37P13A4GV00LF.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: FCE17C37PB24B packaging is not specified. All three substitute parts are packaged in trays, which may affect inventory management and handling procedures.
