Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 2-487526-3 are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Housing for female contacts
• Position count: 24 positions
• Row configuration: Single row
• Pitch specification: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Flat flex connector category: FFC

Performance Compatibility Parameters: Substitute parts must maintain or exceed the electrical and thermal specifications of the original component:

• Voltage rating equal to or greater than 300V
• Current rating equal to or greater than 1.5A
• Operating temperature range encompassing -65°C to 105°C minimum
• Material flammability rating of UL94 V-0 or equivalent
• RoHS compliance status (RoHS3 or RoHS Compliant)
• MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) or equivalent

The substitute part Amphenol ICC (FCI) 67000-024LF meets all critical dimensional and functional parameters while exceeding electrical performance specifications. This part is listed as an approved equivalent in the original component's substitute documentation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Component: TE Connectivity 2-487526-3

The TE Connectivity 2-487526-3 is the specified component with Active product status, full RoHS3 compliance, and established supply chain availability (738 units in stock). This part is suitable for applications requiring 24-position FFC housing with 0.100" pitch, 300V operation, and 1.5A current capacity across the -65°C to 105°C temperature range.

Substitute Component: Amphenol ICC (FCI) 67000-024LF

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 67000-024LF is an approved equivalent substitute with Active product status and RoHS compliance. This substitute provides enhanced electrical performance specifications (500V voltage rating, 3A current rating) and extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 125°C) compared to the primary component. The glass-filled polyester thermoplastic housing material provides improved mechanical durability while maintaining UL94 V-0 flammability compliance. This substitute is suitable for applications where enhanced thermal or electrical performance margins are beneficial, or where supply constraints on the primary component necessitate alternative sourcing. Current inventory availability is 709 units in stock.

Both components are classified as Active products with unlimited moisture sensitivity levels and equivalent compliance certifications, supporting direct substitution in 24-position, single-row FFC housing applications with 0.100" pitch specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the critical dimensions that must match between the primary part and substitute?

A: The critical matching parameters are the 24-position count, single-row configuration, and 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch specification. These parameters define the physical interface with the flat flexible cable and mating connector components. Both the TE Connectivity 2-487526-3 and Amphenol ICC (FCI) 67000-024LF meet these specifications identically.

Q: Can the Amphenol ICC (FCI) 67000-024LF be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 67000-024LF is dimensionally and functionally equivalent to the TE Connectivity 2-487526-3 across all critical parameters. The substitute part meets or exceeds the electrical performance specifications (voltage, current, temperature range) of the original component. Both parts are female contact housings with identical pitch and position configurations, supporting direct substitution in FFC connector applications.

Q: What is the difference in housing material between these two parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 2-487526-3 uses thermoplastic housing material, while the Amphenol ICC (FCI) 67000-024LF uses polyester thermoplastic with glass filling. Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability compliance. The glass-filled material in the substitute part provides enhanced mechanical strength and thermal stability, supporting the extended operating temperature range of -65°C to 125°C compared to -65°C to 105°C for the primary component.

Q: Are there any locking feature differences between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 2-487526-3 specifies a latch lock mechanism. The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 67000-024LF does not specify a locking feature in the provided documentation. This difference should be evaluated against specific application requirements for connector retention and mechanical stability.

Q: Do both parts have the same compliance certifications?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant (TE Connectivity 2-487526-3 is ROHS3 Compliant; Amphenol ICC (FCI) 67000-024LF is RoHS Compliant). Both achieve UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings. The TE Connectivity part has REACH status listed as Vendor Undefined, while the Amphenol ICC part is REACH Affected. Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN classification and identical HTSUS codes.

Q: What is the current rating difference and does it affect substitution?

A: The TE Connectivity 2-487526-3 is rated for 1.5A, while the Amphenol ICC (FCI) 67000-024LF is rated for 3A. The substitute part's higher current rating provides additional performance margin and does not restrict substitution. Applications designed for 1.5A operation are fully supported by the 3A-rated substitute component.

Q: Are contacts included with these housing components?

A: No. Both the TE Connectivity 2-487526-3 and Amphenol ICC (FCI) 67000-024LF are housing components only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately. Ensure that selected contacts are compatible with the 24-position, 0.100" pitch housing configuration.
