Amphenol ICC 65461-025LF Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65461-025LF is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-cable/wire applications. This 14-position, 2-row shrouded header with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and solder termination serves as a standard interconnect component in electronic assemblies. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure supply chain flexibility, manage inventory across multiple manufacturers, and maintain design compatibility when the primary part becomes unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol ICC 65461-025LF is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 14
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull
• Contact Shape: Square
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1761682-5 meets all primary substitution criteria. Both parts are active products with identical mating pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting orientation, and electrical termination method. Both feature gold-plated mating contacts, shrouded 4-wall construction, and UL94 V-0 flammability compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 65461-025LF and TE Connectivity 1761682-5 are active products with full RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The TE Connectivity part provides additional electrical specifications (1A per contact, 250VAC rating) and operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) that are not documented for the Amphenol part.

The TE Connectivity 1761682-5 features a keying slot and uses PCT insulation material instead of polyester glass-filled material. Contact dimensions show minor variations: the TE part has slightly longer mating contacts (0.240" vs 0.230") and longer post contacts (0.114" vs 0.090"), with a lower insulation height (0.350" vs 0.382"). Contact finish thickness on the mating surface is thinner on the TE part (15.0µin vs 30.0µin), while post finish thickness is thicker (100.0µin vs unspecified).

Selection between these parts depends on specific application requirements regarding contact geometry, insulation material compatibility, and the presence of keying features. Both parts satisfy the core functional requirements of a 14-position, 2-row, 2.54mm pitch shrouded header with right-angle through-hole mounting and push-pull fastening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1761682-5 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 65461-025LF?

A: Both parts share identical mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (14), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), shrouding (4-wall), termination method (solder), and fastening type (push-pull). However, dimensional variations exist in contact length and insulation height. The TE part includes a keying slot and uses different insulation material (PCT vs polyester glass-filled). Compatibility depends on whether the application accommodates these dimensional and material differences.

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

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), number of positions (14), number of rows (2), mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), shrouding configuration (4-wall), termination method (solder), fastening type (push-pull), contact shape (square), mating contact finish (gold), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

Q: How do the contact dimensions differ between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity part has mating contacts that are 0.010" (0.26mm) longer (0.240" vs 0.230") and post contacts that are 0.024" (0.61mm) longer (0.114" vs 0.090"). The TE part also has a lower insulation height of 0.350" compared to 0.382" for the Amphenol part. These variations may affect PCB layout and mating depth.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish thickness?

A: The Amphenol part specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating on mating contacts, while the TE part specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm). The TE part provides tin plating on posts at 100.0µin (2.54µm), whereas the Amphenol part does not specify post finish. The thinner gold plating on the TE part may affect wear characteristics in high-cycle mating applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Amphenol part is RoHS Compliant, and the TE Connectivity part is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current RoHS requirements.

Q: What insulation materials are used in each part?

A: The Amphenol ICC 65461-025LF uses polyester glass-filled insulation, while the TE Connectivity 1761682-5 uses polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate (PCT). Both materials are rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. Material selection may impact thermal performance and chemical resistance in specific environments.

Q: Does the TE Connectivity part have any additional features?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 1761682-5 includes a keying slot feature, which is not present on the Amphenol part. This keying slot provides polarization to prevent incorrect mating orientation. The TE part also provides documented operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) and electrical ratings (1A per contact, 250VAC), which are not specified for the Amphenol part.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 65461-025LF is supplied in Tray packaging, while the TE Connectivity 1761682-5 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format may affect handling, storage, and integration into assembly processes.
