Engineering Selection Recommendations

FCE17C37PB69B Selection Criteria: The FCE17C37PB69B is appropriate for applications requiring board-side M3 flange mounting with tin-plated steel shell finish. This part operates within the -40°C to 85°C temperature range and features phosphor bronze contacts with specified gold plating thickness of 15.0µin. The part is actively produced and RoHS compliant.

D37P13A4GL00LF Selection Criteria: The D37P13A4GL00LF provides housing/shell M3 flange mounting with tin-nickel plated steel shell finish. This substitute extends the operating temperature range to -55°C to 125°C and specifies a 300V voltage rating. The part is actively produced and RoHS compliant. This option is suitable when extended temperature performance or higher voltage specifications are required.

D37P13A4GV00LF Selection Criteria: The D37P13A4GV00LF features mating-side female screwlock (4-40) flange configuration with tin-nickel plated steel shell finish. This substitute extends the operating temperature range to -55°C to 125°C and specifies a 300V voltage rating. The part is actively produced and RoHS compliant. This option is suitable when mating-side screwlock retention is required.

D37P13A4GX00LF Selection Criteria: The D37P13A4GX00LF provides housing/shell 4-40 flange mounting with tin-nickel plated steel shell finish. This substitute extends the operating temperature range to -55°C to 125°C and specifies a 300V voltage rating. The part is actively produced and ROHS3 compliant with REACH Affected status. This option is suitable when housing-side 4-40 mounting and enhanced regulatory compliance are required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the primary differences between FCE17C37PB69B and the Delta D series substitutes?

A: The primary differences are flange feature configuration, shell material finish (tin plated versus tin-nickel plated), operating temperature range (-40°C to 85°C versus -55°C to 125°C), voltage rating specification (not specified versus 300V), dielectric material composition (thermoplastic glass-filled versus PBT), and contact material (phosphor bronze versus brass). All parts maintain identical 37-position, 2-row, right-angle solder-terminated D-Sub plug configuration.

Q: Can D37P13A4GL00LF, D37P13A4GV00LF, and D37P13A4GX00LF be used interchangeably with FCE17C37PB69B?

A: These parts share identical connector topology, pin count, mounting style, and termination method. However, they differ in flange mounting configuration, which determines board-level installation method. D37P13A4GL00LF and D37P13A4GX00LF both use housing/shell mounting but with different screw sizes (M3 versus 4-40). D37P13A4GV00LF uses mating-side screwlock mounting. Selection depends on specific board layout and mounting hole specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the backset spacing difference between FCE17C37PB69B (0.405") and the Delta D substitutes (0.409")?

A: Backset spacing defines the distance from the connector mounting plane to the contact mating face. The 0.004" difference (0.405" versus 0.409") may affect mating connector alignment and contact engagement depth. This tolerance difference must be evaluated against mating connector specifications and application requirements.

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

A: All three substitute parts (D37P13A4GL00LF, D37P13A4GV00LF, and D37P13A4GX00LF) operate across -55°C to 125°C, which extends the lower temperature limit by 15°C and the upper temperature limit by 40°C compared to the FCE17C37PB69B (-40°C to 85°C).

Q: What is the difference between RoHS Compliant and ROHS3 Compliant status?

A: RoHS Compliant indicates conformance to the original Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. ROHS3 Compliant indicates conformance to the updated RoHS 3 directive (2015/863/EU), which includes additional restricted substances. D37P13A4GX00LF carries ROHS3 Compliant status, indicating compliance with the most current regulatory requirements.

Q: How do the contact materials differ between FCE17C37PB69B and the substitute parts?

A: FCE17C37PB69B uses phosphor bronze contacts, while all three substitute parts use brass contacts. Both materials are suitable for signal-level applications with 5A current rating. Contact material selection affects electrical conductivity, spring characteristics, and corrosion resistance properties.

Q: What does "REACH Affected" status indicate for D37P13A4GX00LF?

A: REACH Affected status indicates that the part contains substances of very high concern (SVHC) as defined by the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulation. This requires specific documentation and compliance procedures in certain jurisdictions. D37P13A4GL00LF and D37P13A4GV00LF carry REACH Unaffected status.

Q: Are the substitute parts available in different packaging formats?

A: FCE17C37PB69B packaging is not specified in the provided data. All three substitute parts (D37P13A4GL00LF, D37P13A4GV00LF, and D37P13A4GX00LF) are supplied in Tray packaging.

Q: What is the significance of the flange feature differences?

A: Flange features determine the mounting interface on the printed circuit board. Board Side (M3) mounting uses M3 threaded holes on the board. Housing/Shell (M3) mounting uses M3 threaded holes on the connector shell. Housing/Shell (4-40) mounting uses 4-40 threaded holes on the connector shell. Mating Side Female Screwlock (4-40) mounting uses 4-40 screwlock retention on the mating connector interface. Selection depends on available board mounting holes and mechanical retention requirements.
