Amphenol ICC 65496-007 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65496-007 is a shrouded right-angle header connector with 20 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This through-hole component features male pins with gold-plated circular contacts and is designed for board-to-cable/wire applications with push-pull fastening. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 65496-007 is determined by strict equivalence across all electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications for:

• Contact configuration: 20 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch dimensions: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Connector orientation: Right-angle through-hole mounting
• Shrouding design: 4-wall shrouded configuration
• Contact properties: Male pins with gold plating on phosphor bronze
• Termination method: Solder attachment
• Fastening mechanism: Push-pull engagement
• Material compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute relates to product status and RoHS compliance, not functional or dimensional characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 65496-007LF is a direct functional equivalent to the 65496-007. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. The substitute part offers two distinct advantages:

1. Active Product Status: The 65496-007LF maintains active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 65496-007.

2. RoHS Compliance: The 65496-007LF meets RoHS requirements, whereas the original part is non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or requiring compliance documentation, the substitute is the appropriate selection.

Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) within the Quickie™ series and share identical dimensional, electrical, and material specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory requirements and supply chain considerations rather than functional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 65496-007 and 65496-007LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical dimensions, mounting configurations, and contact specifications. They are direct mechanical substitutes with no modifications required for PCB layout or connector mating interfaces.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" designation in the part number?

A: The "LF" suffix indicates lead-free construction and RoHS compliance. The 65496-007LF meets RoHS requirements, while the 65496-007 does not.

Q: Can the 65496-007 be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: No. The 65496-007 is explicitly non-compliant with RoHS regulations. Applications subject to RoHS requirements must use the 65496-007LF.

Q: Are there differences in contact plating or material composition between these parts?

A: No. Both parts feature identical gold plating thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm) on phosphor bronze contacts. The material composition and contact finish specifications are equivalent.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 65496-007 packaging is not specified. The 65496-007LF is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Do both parts have the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are there any performance differences in electrical characteristics?

A: No electrical parameters (current rating, voltage rating) are specified for either part. All provided specifications are identical between the two parts.
