Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Equivalent substitution for the FCE17C37PB2DB is determined by strict alignment of the following core parameters:

• Connector Style: D-Sub
• 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
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Current Rating: 5A
• Color: Black

The three substitute parts (D37P13A4GL00LF, D37P13A4GV00LF, D37P13A4GX00LF) are members of the Delta D series and satisfy all core substitution criteria. Variations exist in flange feature design, shell material finish, contact material composition, and operating temperature range. These variations do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts maintain active product status and RoHS compliance. Selection between FCE17C37PB2DB and the Delta D series alternatives depends on specific application requirements:

FCE17C37PB2DB is suitable for applications requiring the FCE17 series designation, unthreaded housing flange, phosphor bronze contacts, and operation within the -40°C to 85°C temperature range.

D37P13A4GL00LF provides M3 threaded housing flange mounting with extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and brass contacts. This variant is appropriate for applications requiring threaded flange attachment.

D37P13A4GV00LF features mating side female screwlock (4-40) flange configuration with extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and brass contacts. This variant is appropriate for applications requiring screwlock mating interface.

D37P13A4GX00LF provides housing/shell 4-40 threaded flange mounting with extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), brass contacts, and ROHS3 compliance. This variant is appropriate for applications requiring ROHS3 certification and 4-40 threaded flange attachment.

All substitute parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and share identical connector topology, pin count, shell size, and solder termination methodology.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D37P13A4GL00LF, D37P13A4GV00LF, or D37P13A4GX00LF be used as direct replacements for FCE17C37PB2DB?

A: Yes, within the constraints of flange feature compatibility. All four connectors share identical 37-position D-Sub plug configuration, male pin topology, right angle through-hole mounting, and solder termination. Flange feature differences (unthreaded, M3 threaded, screwlock, or 4-40 threaded) determine mechanical mounting compatibility with the PCB or enclosure interface.

Q: What is the difference in backset spacing between FCE17C37PB2DB and the Delta D series?

A: FCE17C37PB2DB specifies 0.405" (10.29mm) backset spacing, while all three Delta D variants specify 0.409" (10.40mm). This 0.004" (0.11mm) difference is within typical PCB layout tolerance but should be verified against specific board design requirements.

Q: Are the contact materials interchangeable?

A: FCE17C37PB2DB uses phosphor bronze contacts, while D37P13A4GL00LF, D37P13A4GV00LF, and D37P13A4GX00LF use brass contacts. Both materials are suitable for signal-level applications at 5A current rating. Contact material selection does not affect electrical interchangeability for standard signal applications.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: FCE17C37PB2DB and D37P13A4GL00LF and D37P13A4GV00LF carry RoHS Compliant status. D37P13A4GX00LF carries ROHS3 Compliant status, indicating compliance with the most recent RoHS directive revision. ROHS3 compliance is a superset of RoHS compliance and is suitable for applications requiring the latest regulatory certification.

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

A: All three Delta D series variants (D37P13A4GL00LF, D37P13A4GV00LF, D37P13A4GX00LF) operate from -55°C to 125°C, compared to FCE17C37PB2DB which operates from -40°C to 85°C. The Delta D series provides extended temperature capability for applications requiring operation beyond the FCE17 series temperature envelope.

Q: What packaging format is used for the substitute parts?

A: All three substitute parts are supplied in Tray packaging. FCE17C37PB2DB packaging format is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. FCE17C37PB2DB, D37P13A4GL00LF, and D37P13A4GV00LF are RoHS Compliant. D37P13A4GX00LF is ROHS3 Compliant. All four parts meet RoHS regulatory requirements.
