Amphenol ICC 65493-006 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65493-006 is a 14-position ribbon cable DIP header connector with IDC termination, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features a 0.050" (1.27mm) cable pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) board-side pitch configuration across 2 rows with 0.300" (7.62mm) row spacing. The product is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for ongoing design requirements and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 65493-006 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Ribbon Cable, DIP Header
• Position count: 14 positions
• Cable pitch: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Board-side pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row configuration: 2 rows with 0.300" (7.62mm) spacing
• Mounting method: Through hole
• Termination method: IDC
• Feed-through capability: Required

The identified substitute parts meet all mechanical and electrical interface requirements. Variations in contact finish, wire gauge acceptance, color, and compliance status are secondary parameters that do not affect physical or functional interchangeability at the connector interface level.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts provide functional equivalence to the 65493-006 based on mechanical and electrical interface parameters.

TE Connectivity 5746613-2 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance certification. This part accommodates wire gauges from 26-30 AWG in both stranded and solid configurations. The gold contact finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the tin-lead finish of the original part. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications requiring current RoHS compliance and extended environmental durability.

CW Industries CWR-130-14-0003 is an active product with RoHS non-compliant status, maintaining the tin-lead contact finish and blue color of the original 65493-006. This part accepts 28-30 AWG wire in stranded or solid form. Selection of this substitute is appropriate for applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement and color consistency with the original design is preferred.

Both parts share identical mechanical pitch specifications, row configuration, and through-hole mounting characteristics, ensuring direct interchangeability at the board interface level.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5746613-2 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 65493-006?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical pitch (0.050" cable, 0.100" board-side), row configuration (2 rows, 0.300" spacing), position count (14), and mounting method (through-hole IDC). The primary differences are contact finish (gold vs. tin-lead), color (black vs. blue), and RoHS compliance status. These differences do not affect physical or functional interchangeability.

Q: Can the CW Industries CWR-130-14-0003 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 65493-006?

A: Yes. This connector meets all mechanical and electrical interface requirements. It maintains the tin-lead contact finish and blue color of the original part. RoHS compliance status differs, which may be relevant depending on application requirements and regulatory context.

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

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by: connector type (ribbon cable DIP header), position count (14), cable pitch (0.050"), board-side pitch (0.100"), row configuration (2 rows, 0.300" spacing), mounting type (through-hole), termination method (IDC), and feed-through capability. All substitute parts match these specifications exactly.

Q: Does the difference in contact finish affect compatibility?

A: Contact finish differences do not affect mechanical interchangeability or basic electrical function. Gold finish (5746613-2) provides enhanced corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance compared to tin-lead finish (65493-006, CWR-130-14-0003). Selection should consider environmental exposure and signal integrity requirements.

Q: Are there wire gauge compatibility considerations?

A: The original 65493-006 does not specify wire gauge restrictions. Both substitute parts accept standard ribbon cable wire gauges: TE Connectivity 5746613-2 accepts 26-30 AWG, and CW Industries CWR-130-14-0003 accepts 28-30 AWG. Verify that existing cable assemblies fall within these ranges.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS compliance status?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory requirement in certain markets and applications. The TE Connectivity 5746613-2 is ROHS3 compliant, while the original 65493-006 and CW Industries CWR-130-14-0003 are RoHS non-compliant. Selection should align with applicable regulatory requirements for the target application and market.
