Amphenol ICC 65801-002 FFC/FPC Connector Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65801-002 is a 2-position FFC/FPC connector receptacle with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This component features IDC termination, tin-plated copper nickel alloy contacts, and operates across -65°C to 105°C with a 500V voltage rating. The part is currently active in production with 745 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, inventory management, and design continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable or when design requirements necessitate alternative configurations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 65801-002 is determined by the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), number of positions (2), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), mounting configuration (free hanging in-line), termination method (IDC), contact material and finish (copper nickel alloy with tin plating), voltage rating (500V), current rating (2A), operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C), and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

Direct Equivalent (65801-002LF): This part maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications to the primary part, with the addition of enhanced features including slide lock, notched cable end, solder retention, and zero insertion force (ZIF). The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status (compliant versus non-compliant) and enhanced locking mechanisms. This part is functionally interchangeable for applications requiring the same core electrical performance.

Manufacturer-Recommended Substitute (487378-1): This TE Connectivity part is classified as a housing component for female contacts rather than a complete receptacle assembly. While it shares the 2-position, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch configuration and operates within the same temperature range, it differs in voltage rating (300V versus 500V), current rating (1.5A versus 2A), and FFC/FPC thickness tolerance (0.05-0.13mm versus 0.33mm). This part is suitable only for applications where the lower electrical ratings and different mechanical specifications are acceptable.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Substitution (65801-002LF): This part is the primary equivalent for the 65801-002 and is recommended when RoHS compliance is required or when enhanced features such as slide lock and zero insertion force are beneficial to the application. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings and operating specifications. The increased inventory availability (2913 units) provides superior procurement reliability.

For Alternative Selection (487378-1): This TE Connectivity part is suitable only for applications where the reduced voltage rating (300V), reduced current rating (1.5A), and different FFC/FPC thickness tolerance do not conflict with design requirements. This part is classified as a housing component and does not include contacts. Selection of this part requires explicit verification that the lower electrical specifications are acceptable for the intended application.

Compliance Considerations: The primary part (65801-002) is RoHS non-compliant. Both substitute parts (65801-002LF and 487378-1) are RoHS compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must utilize one of the compliant alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 65801-002LF be used as a direct replacement for 65801-002?

A: Yes. The 65801-002LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including voltage rating (500V), current rating (2A), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), number of positions (2), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C). The primary differences are enhanced features (slide lock, ZIF, solder retention) and RoHS compliance status.

Q: What are the key differences between 65801-002 and 487378-1?

A: The 487378-1 is a housing component rather than a complete receptacle assembly. It has a lower voltage rating (300V versus 500V), lower current rating (1.5A versus 2A), and different FFC/FPC thickness tolerance (0.05-0.13mm versus 0.33mm). The 487378-1 does not include contacts and is not suitable for applications requiring the full electrical specifications of the 65801-002.

Q: Are all three parts interchangeable?

A: No. The 65801-002LF is directly interchangeable with 65801-002. The 487378-1 is not directly interchangeable due to reduced electrical ratings and different mechanical specifications. Use 487378-1 only when its lower specifications are acceptable for the application.

Q: What is the impact of RoHS compliance on part selection?

A: The 65801-002 is RoHS non-compliant, while 65801-002LF and 487378-1 are RoHS compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use either 65801-002LF or 487378-1. For non-regulated applications, all three parts may be considered based on electrical and mechanical requirements.

Q: Does the 487378-1 include contacts?

A: No. The 487378-1 is specified as a housing component for female contacts with contacts not included. Complete assembly requires separate procurement of compatible contacts.

Q: What is the pitch specification and why is it critical for substitution?

A: All three parts share a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch specification, which defines the spacing between connector positions. Pitch is a critical parameter for substitution because mismatched pitch prevents proper mating with corresponding cable or connector assemblies.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these parts?

A: Yes. The 65801-002 and 65801-002LF are packaged in trays, while 487378-1 is packaged in bulk. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may impact procurement and handling procedures.
