Amphenol ICC 65496-091 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65496-091 is a shrouded right-angle rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting in board-to-cable/wire applications. This component features a 10-position, 2-row configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing and gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 65496-091 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (10 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting orientation (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact material and finish specifications (Phosphor Bronze with Gold GXT™)
• Insulation material and flammability rating (Polyester, Glass Filled; UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 65496-091LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all these parameters. The primary distinction is product status and RoHS compliance, not functional or dimensional characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 65496-091LF is a direct functional equivalent to the 65496-091 for all electrical and mechanical applications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

For new designs or production requiring RoHS compliance: Use 65496-091LF. This part maintains active product status with Amphenol ICC and carries RoHS Compliant certification, meeting regulatory requirements for most commercial and industrial applications.

For legacy system maintenance or non-RoHS applications: The 65496-091 remains functionally identical in all electrical and mechanical parameters. However, availability is limited due to obsolete status.

Both parts share identical contact geometry, pitch spacing, shrouding configuration, and material specifications. PCB footprints and mating connector interfaces are interchangeable. The transition from 65496-091 to 65496-091LF involves no design modifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 65496-091 and 65496-091LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), shrouding (4-wall), pitch spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), and contact geometry. PCB footprints and mating connector interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and RoHS compliance. The 65496-091LF is the active production variant with RoHS Compliant certification. The 65496-091 is classified as obsolete and is RoHS non-compliant. All electrical and mechanical specifications are identical.

Q: Can I use 65496-091LF as a direct replacement for 65496-091 in existing designs?

A: Yes. No design modifications are required. The parts are functionally equivalent across all specified parameters including contact material, finish, insulation properties, and flammability rating.

Q: What does the "LF" suffix in 65496-091LF indicate?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free termination and RoHS compliance. This part meets RoHS Directive requirements for restricted substances.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts use identical contact material (phosphor bronze), contact finish (gold GXT™ at 30.0µin thickness), and insulation material (polyester, glass-filled). Electrical performance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 65496-091LF is supplied in bulk packaging, while packaging for the 65496-091 is not specified. This affects procurement and handling but does not impact component functionality.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating environments?

A: Yes. Both parts carry identical material flammability rating (UL94 V-0), moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1 - Unlimited), and feature specifications. Environmental suitability is equivalent.
