Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts (D37P13A4GL00LF, D37P13A4GV00LF, D37P13A4GX00LF) are functionally equivalent to the FCE17C37PB4EB for 37-position D-Sub plug applications requiring through-hole solder termination and right angle mounting.

Selection Criteria Based on Provided Specifications:

D37P13A4GL00LF is suitable for applications requiring Housing/Shell flange mounting with M3 fasteners. This variant provides extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and specified voltage rating (300V). The Tin-Nickel plated shell finish offers enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the tin-plated finish of the main part.

D37P13A4GV00LF is suitable for applications requiring Mating Side Female Screwlock flange configuration with 4-40 fasteners. This variant also provides extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and 300V voltage rating. The Tin-Nickel plated shell finish and PBT dielectric material provide enhanced environmental performance.

D37P13A4GX00LF is suitable for applications requiring Housing/Shell flange mounting with 4-40 fasteners. This variant provides extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), 300V voltage rating, and ROHS3 compliance status. The Tin-Nickel plated shell finish and PBT dielectric material provide enhanced environmental performance.

All substitute parts maintain the core electrical specifications (5A current rating, UL94 V-0 flammability rating) and active product status. Selection between substitutes depends on specific flange feature requirements and environmental operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can D37P13A4GL00LF, D37P13A4GV00LF, or D37P13A4GX00LF be used as direct replacements for FCE17C37PB4EB?

A: These parts are electrically and mechanically compatible for 37-position D-Sub plug applications. Compatibility depends on flange feature requirements. The FCE17C37PB4EB uses Board Side (4-40) flange, while D37P13A4GL00LF uses Housing/Shell (M3), D37P13A4GV00LF uses Mating Side Female Screwlock (4-40), and D37P13A4GX00LF uses Housing/Shell (4-40). Verify flange mounting requirements before substitution.

Q: What are the differences in shell material finish between the main part and substitutes?

A: The FCE17C37PB4EB features Steel with Tin Plating. All three substitute parts feature Steel with Tin-Nickel Plating. Tin-Nickel plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and is suitable for applications requiring extended environmental durability.

Q: Do the substitute parts support the same current rating?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37PB4EB is rated at 5A. All substitute parts are rated at 5A per Contact, maintaining equivalent current handling capacity.

Q: What is the difference in operating temperature range?

A: The FCE17C37PB4EB operates from -40°C to 85°C. All three substitute parts operate from -55°C to 125°C, providing extended temperature range capability for applications requiring broader environmental performance.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: The FCE17C37PB4EB, D37P13A4GL00LF, and D37P13A4GV00LF are RoHS Compliant. The D37P13A4GX00LF is ROHS3 Compliant. All parts meet RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness?

A: The FCE17C37PB4EB has Gold contact finish at 15.0µin (0.38µm) thickness. All substitute parts have Gold contact finish with Flash thickness. Flash plating provides minimal gold coverage while maintaining contact performance.

Q: How do the dielectric materials differ?

A: The FCE17C37PB4EB uses Thermoplastic with Glass Filling. All substitute parts use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). PBT provides enhanced thermal and chemical resistance compared to glass-filled thermoplastic.

Q: What is the difference in contact material?

A: The FCE17C37PB4EB uses Phosphor Bronze contacts. All substitute parts use Brass contacts. Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and mechanical durability for signal-level D-Sub applications.

Q: Do the substitute parts have specified voltage ratings?

A: The FCE17C37PB4EB does not specify a voltage rating. All three substitute parts are rated at 300V, providing defined electrical performance specification for high-voltage applications.

Q: What packaging is available for substitute parts?

A: All three substitute parts are supplied in Tray packaging. The FCE17C37PB4EB packaging is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Are there inventory differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The FCE17C37PB4EB has 715 pieces in stock. D37P13A4GL00LF has 1148 pieces, D37P13A4GV00LF has 1163 pieces, and D37P13A4GX00LF has 984 pieces in stock. Substitute parts offer higher inventory availability.
