Equivalent & Substitute Parts for Amphenol ICC 65494-018

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65494-018 is a 16-position ribbon cable connector with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination, designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features a 0.050" cable pitch and 0.200" board-side pitch configuration across 4 rows with 0.100" row spacing. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 65494-018 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be ribbon cable IDC connector
• Number of Positions: Must be 16 positions
• Cable Pitch: Must be 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Board-Side Pitch: Must be 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Number of Rows: Must be 4 rows
• Row Spacing: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Must be through hole
• Cable Termination: Must be IDC
• Features: Must include feed through capability

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-111035-2 meets all critical dimensional and functional parameters. The CW Industries CWR-142-10-0003 does not qualify as a substitute due to a 10-position configuration versus the required 16-position specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 5-111035-2 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 65494-018. Both connectors share identical dimensional specifications and functional characteristics. The primary distinction is product status: the 5-111035-2 is active and currently manufactured, whereas the 65494-018 is obsolete. Additionally, the 5-111035-2 carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original part does not.

The CW Industries CWR-142-10-0003 is not suitable for direct substitution due to its 10-position configuration, which does not match the 16-position requirement of the original connector.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5-111035-2 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 65494-018?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch specifications (0.050" cable pitch, 0.200" board-side pitch), row configuration (4 rows with 0.100" spacing), mounting type (through hole), and termination method (IDC). The connectors are mechanically and electrically compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 5-111035-2 is RoHS compliant, while the 65494-018 is not. RoHS compliance indicates the absence of restricted substances such as lead, mercury, and cadmium. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the 5-111035-2 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Why is the CW Industries CWR-142-10-0003 not a substitute?

A: The CWR-142-10-0003 is configured for 10 positions, whereas the 65494-018 and its substitute require 16 positions. Position count is a critical parameter that determines connector compatibility with ribbon cable assemblies and PCB layouts. A 10-position connector cannot accommodate a 16-position cable assembly.

Q: Are there differences in wire gauge specifications between the main part and substitute?

A: The 65494-018 does not specify a wire gauge parameter. The 5-111035-2 is rated for 26-28 AWG stranded or solid wire. Wire gauge compatibility must be verified against the specific ribbon cable assembly used in the application.

Q: What is the difference in contact finish between the two connectors?

A: The 65494-018 uses Tin-Lead finish with 150.0µin thickness, while the 5-111035-2 uses Tin finish with 100.0µin thickness. Both finishes provide adequate corrosion resistance for IDC connector applications. The Tin finish in the 5-111035-2 is consistent with modern manufacturing standards and RoHS compliance requirements.
