Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCE17C37SA2EB is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector Style: D-Sub
• Connector Type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of Positions: 37
• Number of Rows: 2
• Shell Size, Connector Layout: 4 (DC, C)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Backset Spacing: 0.318" (8.08mm)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Shell Material Finish: Steel with different plating options (Tin Plated, Nickel Plated)
• Contact Finish: Gold or Gold-Palladium
• Current Rating: Equal to or greater than 5A
• Operating Temperature Range: Equal to or greater than the specified range
• Dielectric Material: Thermoplastic or polyester-based materials meeting UL94 V-0
• RoHS/REACH Compliance: RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant; REACH Unaffected

The substitute parts 09684535613, 09684537613 (HARTING), and 182-037-213R531 (NorComp Inc.) meet all mandatory compatibility parameters and are therefore qualified as direct substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected status applies. Contact finish is Gold or Gold-Palladium. Inventory availability is 815 units. Shell material finish is Steel without specified plating.

09684537613 (HARTING): This substitute also provides 6.5A current capacity and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected status applies. Inventory availability is 1143 units. Contact finish and shell material finish are not specified in available documentation. Board Lock feature is included.

182-037-213R531 (NorComp Inc.): This substitute supports panel mount and through-hole mounting configurations. Current rating matches the original at 5A. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 105°C. ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected status applies. Inventory availability is 2611 units. Shell material is Steel with Nickel Plating. Contact finish is Gold (Flash thickness). Packaging is Tray format.

All substitute parts maintain the mandatory D-Sub 37-position, 2-row, shell size 4 configuration with right-angle solder termination and 0.318" backset spacing. All parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HARTING 09684535613 or 09684537613 be used as a direct replacement for the FCE17C37SA2EB?

A: Yes. Both HARTING parts maintain identical connector style, type, position count, row configuration, shell size, mounting type, termination method, and backset spacing. The mandatory compatibility parameters are met. The HARTING parts provide higher current capacity (6.5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), which are allowable variations that do not restrict substitution.

Q: What is the difference between the two HARTING substitute parts (09684535613 and 09684537613)?

A: Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications: 37-position D-Sub receptacle, right-angle solder termination, 6.5A current rating, -55°C to 125°C operating temperature, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The primary difference is inventory availability: 09684535613 has 815 units in stock, while 09684537613 has 1143 units in stock. Contact finish specifications differ: 09684535613 specifies Gold or Gold-Palladium, while 09684537613 does not specify contact finish in available documentation.

Q: Is the NorComp 182-037-213R531 compatible with the original FCE17C37SA2EB?

A: Yes. The NorComp part meets all mandatory compatibility parameters: 37-position D-Sub receptacle, 2-row layout, shell size 4, right-angle solder termination, and 0.318" backset spacing. The NorComp part supports both panel mount and through-hole mounting, providing additional flexibility. Current rating is 5A, matching the original specification. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 105°C, which exceeds the original -40°C to 85°C range.

Q: What are the key differences in shell material finish among the substitute options?

A: The FCE17C37SA2EB features Steel with Tin Plating. The HARTING 09684535613 and 09684537613 specify Steel without detailed plating information. The NorComp 182-037-213R531 specifies Steel with Nickel Plating. All three finish options are compatible with the D-Sub 37-position receptacle configuration. Shell material finish selection does not affect electrical or mechanical substitution eligibility.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37SA2EB is RoHS Compliant. All three substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant, which represents an enhanced compliance standard. The HARTING parts (09684535613 and 09684537613) also carry REACH Unaffected status. The NorComp 182-037-213R531 carries REACH Unaffected status. All parts meet regulatory requirements for RoHS and REACH compliance.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitute parts?

A: The FCE17C37SA2EB is packaged in standard format (not specified). The HARTING 09684535613 and 09684537613 are packaged in Bulk format. The NorComp 182-037-213R531 is packaged in Tray format. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; selection depends on procurement and assembly workflow requirements.

Q: Can the higher current rating of the HARTING substitutes (6.5A) be used in applications designed for 5A?

A: Yes. A higher current rating indicates the connector can safely handle greater current without exceeding thermal or electrical limits. Applications designed for 5A operation will function within the 6.5A rated capacity of the HARTING substitutes. The higher rating provides additional design margin and does not create compatibility issues.

Q: What is the significance of the extended operating temperature range in the HARTING substitutes?

A: The HARTING parts operate from -55°C to 125°C, compared to the FCE17C37SA2EB range of -40°C to 85°C. The extended range indicates the connector materials and construction support operation across a wider temperature spectrum. Applications operating within the original -40°C to 85°C range will function within the HARTING operating envelope. The extended range provides flexibility for applications with more demanding thermal requirements.
