FCE17C37PC45B D-Sub Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCE17C37PC45B is a 37-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This connector features male pins, right-angle through-hole mounting, and solder termination. The connector is designed for signal applications with a current rating of 5A and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The part maintains Active product status and is RoHS compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the connector series, allowing for interchangeability in applications where the primary part number may be unavailable or when alternative packaging configurations are required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCE17C37PC45B is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug, Male Pins)
• Number of positions (37)
• Number of rows (2)
• Current rating (5A)
• Contact material (Phosphor Bronze)
• Contact finish (Gold, 15.0µin thickness)

Mechanical Parameters:

• Shell size and connector layout (4 / DC, C)
• Mounting type (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Shell material and finish (Steel, Tin Plated)
• Flange feature (Board Side, 4-40)
• Backset spacing (0.590" / 14.99mm)

Environmental & Compliance Parameters:

• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 85°C)
• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The FCE17C37PC44B maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters and belongs to the same FCE17 series, qualifying it as a parametric equivalent.
