Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for FFC connector housings is determined by strict alignment of mechanical and electrical parameters. The primary substitution criteria include:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Housing for Female Contacts)
• Number of positions (12)
• Number of rows (1)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Flat flex connector category (FFC)

Electrical Performance Parameters:

• Voltage rating (minimum 300 V required)
• Current rating (minimum 1.5 A required)
• Operating temperature range (minimum -65°C to 105°C required)

Material and Compliance Parameters:

• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)
• Housing color (Black)

The substitute part 67000-012LF from Amphenol ICC (FCI) meets all critical mechanical parameters and exceeds electrical performance specifications. The substitute demonstrates enhanced voltage rating (500 V versus 300 V), increased current capacity (3 A versus 1.5 A), and extended upper operating temperature limit (125°C versus 105°C). Both parts maintain identical moisture sensitivity classification and flammability certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-487769-0

The 1-487769-0 remains the specified component for applications with defined electrical and thermal requirements within its rated parameters. This part carries Active product status with established supply availability (911 units in stock). RoHS applicability is not applicable for this connector housing category.

Substitute Part: Amphenol ICC (FCI) 67000-012LF

The 67000-012LF qualifies as a direct mechanical and electrical substitute. This part demonstrates superior electrical performance margins with 500 V voltage rating and 3 A current capacity, providing enhanced design headroom. The extended operating temperature range to 125°C accommodates applications with elevated thermal requirements. The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant status and REACH Affected designation, meeting current regulatory compliance frameworks. Both parts maintain identical mechanical interface specifications (12 positions, 0.100" pitch, single row) and identical safety certifications (UL94 V-0).

Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements for voltage margin, current capacity, operating temperature envelope, and regulatory compliance status. Both parts are suitable for direct substitution in FFC connector housing applications requiring 12-position, 2.54mm pitch female contact housings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC 67000-012LF directly replace the TE Connectivity 1-487769-0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications (12 positions, single row, 0.100" pitch) and identical connector type (housing for female contacts). The substitute part meets or exceeds all electrical parameters of the original part, including voltage rating, current capacity, and operating temperature range.

Q: What are the key differences between these two FFC connector housings?

A: The primary differences are electrical performance and material composition. The 67000-012LF provides higher voltage rating (500 V versus 300 V), increased current capacity (3 A versus 1.5 A), and extended upper operating temperature (125°C versus 105°C). The substitute housing material includes glass-filled polyester thermoplastic, compared to standard thermoplastic in the original part. Both maintain identical flammability certification and moisture sensitivity classification.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with FFC cable thickness?

A: The original part specifies FFC/FCB thickness tolerance of 0.05-0.13mm. The substitute part does not specify this parameter in available documentation. For applications with specific FFC thickness requirements, direct verification with the connector manufacturer is necessary to confirm compatibility with the intended flexible circuit board.

Q: What is the significance of the detent lock feature on the original part?

A: The 1-487769-0 includes a detent lock mechanism for mechanical retention. The substitute part 67000-012LF does not specify a locking feature in available documentation. Applications requiring positive mechanical locking should confirm the locking mechanism availability on the substitute part before implementation.

Q: Do both parts have the same regulatory compliance status?

A: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating. The substitute part carries RoHS Compliant status and REACH Affected designation. The original part lists RoHS status as Not Applicable and REACH status as Vendor Undefined. Applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulatory requirements should reference the substitute part's compliance documentation.

Q: What is the inventory status for these parts?

A: The original TE Connectivity 1-487769-0 has 911 units in stock. The substitute Amphenol ICC 67000-012LF has 836 units in stock. Both parts are classified as Active product status with current availability.
