65001-017 Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 65001-017 is a 16-position receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) in the BergCon® series. This connector features a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole right-angle mounting with gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of functionally equivalent alternatives for ongoing design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 65001-017 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• 16-position receptacle configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Female socket contact type
• Through-hole, right-angle mounting orientation
• Solder termination method
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• Gold-plated mating contact finish

The substitute part 67230-016LF (Amphenol ICC Dubox™ series) satisfies all these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in secondary parameters such as insulation material composition, contact base material, and contact finish thickness do not preclude functional equivalence when the primary substitution criteria are met.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 67230-016LF serves as a direct functional equivalent to the 65001-017 based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications. Both connectors are classified as obsolete products.

A key distinction exists in regulatory compliance: the 67230-016LF is RoHS compliant, whereas the 65001-017 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS directives or equivalent environmental regulations, the 67230-016LF is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems or applications without RoHS requirements, either part may be used based on availability and procurement constraints.

Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, indicating equivalent export control and tariff treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 67230-016LF directly replace the 65001-017 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (16), mounting orientation (through-hole right-angle), and contact configuration (female socket). Physical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact materials (Beryllium Copper vs. Brass Alloy)?

A: Both materials are standard for connector contacts and provide adequate electrical conductivity and mechanical durability for this connector class. The material difference does not affect functional substitution when mating surfaces and finish specifications are equivalent.

Q: Does the difference in contact finish thickness affect compatibility?

A: No. The mating contact finish thickness difference (40.0µin vs. 30.0µin) remains within acceptable ranges for gold-plated connectors. Both thicknesses provide adequate corrosion resistance and electrical performance for standard applications.

Q: Why is RoHS compliance status different between these parts?

A: The 65001-017 (BergCon® series) predates RoHS implementation, while the 67230-016LF (Dubox™ series) was manufactured to comply with RoHS directives. For new designs or applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 67230-016LF is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there any dimensional differences that could affect PCB layout?

A: Insulation height differs slightly (0.138" vs. 0.142"), representing a 0.004" (0.10mm) variation. This minor difference is unlikely to impact standard PCB designs but should be verified for applications with tight vertical clearance constraints.

Q: What is the current inventory status for these parts?

A: The 65001-017 has 1078 pieces in stock, and the 67230-016LF has 1049 pieces in stock. Both are available as new original components.
