Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the FCE17C37SB2DB are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must align with the main part specification:

Mandatory Matching 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
• Contact Type: Signal
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

Allowable Parameter Variations: Substitute parts may differ in the following parameters while maintaining functional equivalence:

• Current Rating: Substitute parts rated at 5A or higher are acceptable
• Operating Temperature Range: Substitute parts with equal or extended temperature ranges are acceptable
• Shell Material Finish: Steel with various plating options (Tin, Tin-Nickel) are acceptable
• Contact Finish: Gold plating with varying thickness specifications are acceptable
• Flange Feature: Housing/Shell configurations and mating side screwlock options are acceptable
• Backset Spacing: Minor variations within connector design tolerances are acceptable
• Voltage Rating: Substitute parts with voltage ratings are acceptable when not specified in main part
• Dielectric Material: Thermoplastic and polyester variants are acceptable

Four substitute parts meet these criteria and are listed below.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All four substitute parts are actively produced and maintain full compliance with RoHS and flammability requirements. Selection among these equivalents is based on the following engineering considerations:

09664526613 (HARTING): This substitute provides the highest current rating at 6.5A and extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C. The part features Board Lock functionality and is packaged in trays. ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status provide additional regulatory assurance. This option is suitable for applications requiring enhanced thermal performance and higher current capacity.

5745441-4 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): This substitute is part of the AMPLIMITE HDP-20 series and includes a 125V voltage rating specification. Current rating of 6A and operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C provide balanced performance characteristics. Mounting brackets are included as standard features. This option is suitable for applications requiring voltage-rated connectors and is available in bulk packaging.

D37S13A4GL00LF (Amphenol ICC FCI): This substitute is part of the Delta D series and features Housing/Shell (M3) flange configuration with Board Lock and Mounting Brackets. The 300V voltage rating and extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C provide enhanced electrical performance. Tin-Nickel plating on the shell offers improved corrosion resistance. This option is suitable for high-voltage applications and is available in tray packaging.

D37S13A4GV00LF (Amphenol ICC FCI): This substitute is also part of the Delta D series and features Mating Side Female Screwlock (4-40) flange configuration with Board Lock and Mounting Brackets. The 300V voltage rating and extended operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C match the D37S13A4GL00LF specification. This option is suitable for applications requiring mating side screwlock security and is available in tray packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the FCE17C37SB2DB be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes. All four substitute parts maintain identical connector style, type, position count, row configuration, shell size, mounting type, termination method, and contact type. All parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and MSL 1 specifications. Direct substitution is supported from an electrical and mechanical standpoint.

Q: What are the key differences between the substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are current rating capacity (5A to 6.5A), operating temperature range extensions (-40°C to -55°C lower limit), flange feature configurations (Housing/Shell versus Mating Side screwlock), voltage ratings (unspecified to 300V), and shell material finishes (Tin to Tin-Nickel plating). These variations allow selection based on specific application requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences among the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The FCE17C37SB2DB is supplied without specified packaging. The 09664526613 is packaged in trays, the 5745441-4 is supplied in bulk, and both D37S13A4GL00LF and D37S13A4GV00LF are packaged in trays. Packaging selection may impact procurement logistics and handling requirements.

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

A: Both the 09664526613 (HARTING) and the D37S13A4GL00LF and D37S13A4GV00LF (Amphenol ICC FCI) offer the extended range of -55°C to 125°C, compared to the main part specification of -40°C to 85°C and the 5745441-4 range of -55°C to 105°C.

Q: What is the difference between D37S13A4GL00LF and D37S13A4GV00LF?

A: Both parts are Delta D series connectors with identical electrical and thermal specifications. The primary difference is the flange feature: D37S13A4GL00LF features Housing/Shell (M3) configuration, while D37S13A4GV00LF features Mating Side Female Screwlock (4-40) configuration. Selection depends on the mechanical mounting requirements of the application.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts are RoHS compliant or ROHS3 compliant. The 09664526613 additionally carries REACH Unaffected status, and both TE Connectivity and Amphenol ICC FCI parts carry REACH Unaffected designation.

Q: Can I use a substitute part with a higher current rating than the original?

A: Yes. The substitute parts with current ratings of 6A or 6.5A are acceptable replacements for the 5A rated FCE17C37SB2DB. Higher current ratings provide additional design margin and do not create compatibility issues in applications designed for the original 5A specification.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating on substitute parts?

A: The FCE17C37SB2DB does not specify a voltage rating. Substitute parts with 125V or 300V ratings provide additional electrical performance specification and are suitable for applications requiring voltage-rated connectors. These ratings do not restrict use in lower-voltage applications.
