Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FCE17C37SA690 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector style: D-Sub
• Connector type: Receptacle, Female Sockets
• Number of positions: 37
• Number of rows: 2
• Shell size and layout: 4 (DC, C)
• Mounting type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination method: Solder
• Backset spacing: 0.318" (8.08mm)

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Contact type: Signal
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)
• ECCN classification: EAR99
• HTSUS code: 8536.69.4040

Substitute parts identified in this reference maintain all primary compatibility criteria. Variations in secondary parameters such as contact finish thickness, shell material finish, flange feature design, and operating temperature range do not preclude substitution when primary criteria are met. All identified substitutes are active product status with current inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain active product status and full compliance with applicable regulatory standards. Selection among equivalent parts is based on specific application requirements and design constraints:

HARTING 09684535613 and 09684537613: These substitutes provide enhanced current rating capability at 6.5A and extended operating temperature range to -55°C ~ 125°C. Both parts feature female screwlock mating side flange design and are ROHS3 compliant. The 09684535613 specifies gold or gold-palladium contact finish with 30.0µin thickness, while 09684537613 contact finish specifications are not provided. Inventory availability is 815 and 1143 units respectively.

NorComp 182-037-213R161, 182-037-213R181, and 182-037-213R531: These substitutes support panel mount capability in addition to through-hole mounting and feature nickel-plated steel shell material. All three are ROHS3 compliant with operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 105°C. Flange feature variations include unthreaded housing shell (182-037-213R161), female screwlock mating side (182-037-213R181), and threaded housing shell (182-037-213R531). Inventory availability ranges from 1386 to 2611 units. Ground strap feature is present on 182-037-213R161 and 182-037-213R181; board lock feature is present on 182-037-213R531.

Amphenol ICC (FCI) D37S33E4GX00LF: This substitute is from the Delta D series and provides extended operating temperature range to -55°C ~ 125°C with 300V voltage rating specification. The part features tin-nickel plated steel shell material, phosphor bronze contact material, and includes board lock and mounting brackets features. RoHS compliance is maintained with 970 units in inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HARTING 09684535613 be used as a direct replacement for the FCE17C37SA690?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical primary compatibility criteria: 37-position D-Sub receptacle, female sockets, 2-row configuration, shell size 4 (DC, C), through-hole right-angle mounting, and solder termination with 0.318" backset spacing. The HARTING part provides higher current rating (6.5A versus 5A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus -40°C ~ 85°C), making it suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance.

Q: What is the difference between the NorComp 182-037-213R181 and 182-037-213R531?

A: Both parts are 37-position D-Sub receptacles with identical electrical and mechanical core specifications. The primary difference is the flange feature: 182-037-213R181 features female screwlock mating side design, while 182-037-213R531 features threaded housing shell (4-40) design. The 182-037-213R531 includes board lock feature, whereas 182-037-213R181 includes ground strap feature. Both support panel mount and through-hole mounting configurations.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All identified substitute parts maintain RoHS compliance. The FCE17C37SA690, D37S33E4GX00LF, and HARTING parts are RoHS Compliant. The NorComp parts (182-037-213R161, 182-037-213R181, 182-037-213R531) are ROHS3 Compliant. All parts are classified under identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) codes.

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

A: The FCE17C37SA690 is supplied in standard packaging. HARTING parts (09684535613 and 09684537613) are supplied in bulk packaging. NorComp parts (182-037-213R161, 182-037-213R181, 182-037-213R531) are supplied in tray packaging. Amphenol ICC (FCI) D37S33E4GX00LF is supplied in tray packaging. Packaging selection does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can the D37S33E4GX00LF be used in applications requiring voltage rating specification?

A: Yes. The D37S33E4GX00LF specifies 300V voltage rating, whereas the FCE17C37SA690 does not provide voltage rating specification. This makes the D37S33E4GX00LF suitable for applications with defined voltage requirements up to 300V.

Q: What is the inventory status for each substitute part?

A: Current inventory availability is as follows: FCE17C37SA690 (999 units), 09684535613 (815 units), 09684537613 (1143 units), 182-037-213R161 (1386 units), 182-037-213R181 (1587 units), 182-037-213R531 (2611 units), and D37S33E4GX00LF (970 units). All parts are listed as new original stock.

Q: Are there differences in contact material between the main part and substitutes?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37SA690 and D37S33E4GX00LF specify phosphor bronze contact material. The HARTING parts specify copper alloy contact material. The NorComp parts do not provide contact material specification. All parts maintain identical contact finish (gold) and are suitable for signal-level applications.

Q: Do all parts support the same mounting configurations?

A: The FCE17C37SA690 and HARTING parts support through-hole right-angle mounting. The NorComp parts (182-037-213R161, 182-037-213R181, 182-037-213R531) support both panel mount and through-hole right-angle mounting configurations, providing additional design flexibility. The D37S33E4GX00LF supports through-hole right-angle mounting with included mounting brackets.
