65043-015LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 65043-015LF is a 44-position rectangular connector housing manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) in the Mini-PV™ series. This receptacle housing accommodates female socket contacts with a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch in a 2-row configuration and is designed for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. The part is actively produced and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for applications requiring standard rectangular connector solutions. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when inventory requirements necessitate multiple qualified suppliers.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 65043-015LF is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (44), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination method (crimp), and color (black). The substitute part 3-87456-7 meets all these core electrical and mechanical requirements, establishing it as a parametric equivalent. Both parts are active products with RoHS compliance and MSL 1 ratings, confirming their suitability for equivalent application use.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 65043-015LF and 3-87456-7 are active products with full RoHS compliance and MSL 1 ratings. The parts are electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical connector parameters. The substitute part 3-87456-7 offers an extended operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C versus -40°C to 105°C), providing additional thermal margin for demanding applications. The difference in insulation material (polyamide glass-filled versus modified polyphenylene) reflects different manufacturing approaches by each supplier but does not affect the functional equivalence for standard rectangular connector applications. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and supplier qualification requirements specific to your procurement process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 3-87456-7 be used as a direct replacement for 65043-015LF?

A: Yes. Both parts are 44-position receptacle housings with identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row configuration, mounting type, and crimp termination. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters match, establishing parametric equivalence.

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

A: The 65043-015LF uses modified polyphenylene insulation, while the 3-87456-7 uses polyamide (PA) nylon with glass reinforcement. Both materials are suitable for rectangular connector housings and meet the same compliance standards (RoHS, MSL 1).

Q: Does the extended temperature range of 3-87456-7 affect compatibility?

A: No. The substitute part's operating range (-65°C to 105°C) encompasses the primary part's range (-40°C to 105°C). This provides additional thermal capability without affecting compatibility in applications using the original temperature specification.

Q: Are contacts included with these housings?

A: No. Both the 65043-015LF and 3-87456-7 are housings only. Contacts must be sourced separately and crimped into the housing according to the connector series specifications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is based on matching connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), position count (44), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row configuration (2 rows at 0.100" spacing), mounting type (free hanging in-line), termination method (crimp), and color (black).
