FCE17C37PC4DB D-Sub Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The FCE17C37PC4DB is a 37-position D-Sub plug connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (Commercial Products). This right-angle, through-hole solder connector features male pins and is designed for signal applications in industrial and commercial electronics. The connector is currently in active product status with 980 units in stock.

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