Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the FCE17C37SC4D0 is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

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
• Backset Spacing: 0.590" (14.99mm)

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Current Rating: May exceed 5A (higher ratings are compatible)
• Operating Temperature Range: May extend beyond -40°C ~ 85°C (wider ranges are compatible)
• Contact Finish Thickness: May exceed 15.0µin (thicker plating is compatible)
• Voltage Rating: May be specified (presence of rating is compatible)
• Features: May differ (additional features such as ground straps are compatible)

The substitute part 5745996-4 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors meets all mandatory matching parameters and provides enhanced specifications in allowable variation categories.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FCE17C37SC4D0 and 5745996-4 are active production parts with RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts is based on application-specific requirements:

Select FCE17C37SC4D0 when:

• Operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 85°C is sufficient
• Current rating of 5A meets application requirements
• Standard contact finish thickness of 15.0µin is acceptable
• Amphenol ICC supply chain preference exists

Select 5745996-4 when:

• Extended operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 105°C is required
• Current rating of 6A is necessary
• Enhanced contact finish thickness of 30.0µin provides additional durability
• TE Connectivity supply chain preference exists
• Voltage rating specification of 125V is required for documentation

Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical interface characteristics, ensuring direct substitution capability in PCB layouts and mating connector applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 5745996-4 be used as a direct replacement for FCE17C37SC4D0?
