Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 65801-003 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Connector type: FFC/FPC receptacle
• Number of positions: 3
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging (in-line)
• Termination method: IDC
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 105°C
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Substitute Parts Identified:

1. 65801-003LF (Amphenol ICC) — Direct manufacturer equivalent with enhanced features including slide lock, zero insertion force (ZIF), and solder retention. Supports FFC/FPC thickness of 0.30mm and 0.33mm with straight or tapered cable end options. RoHS compliant and REACH affected.

2. 487378-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) — FFC housing component for female contacts, 3-position, 0.100" pitch. Designed for FFC applications with thermoplastic housing. Note: Contacts not included; intended as a housing-only substitute for specific assembly configurations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

65801-003LF Selection Criteria: The 65801-003LF is a direct manufacturer equivalent offering enhanced functionality within the same Amphenol ICC Clincher™ series. It maintains identical electrical specifications (500V, 2A, -65°C to 105°C) and mechanical pitch (0.100"). The 65801-003LF adds slide lock and zero insertion force (ZIF) features with solder retention capability. This part achieves RoHS compliance and REACH affected status, making it suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance. FFC/FPC thickness support extends to both 0.30mm and 0.33mm with straight or tapered cable end options. Select this part when compliance requirements or enhanced insertion features are necessary.

487378-2 Selection Criteria: The 487378-2 is a TE Connectivity housing component for female contacts, suitable only for applications requiring a housing-only substitute. This part operates within the same temperature range (-65°C to 105°C) and maintains UL94 V-0 flammability rating. However, voltage rating is reduced to 300V and current rating to 1.5A compared to the 65801-003. The 487378-2 does not include contacts and is intended for specific assembly configurations where housing replacement is the primary requirement. Select this part only when housing-only substitution is specified and electrical parameter reductions are acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 65801-003LF be used as a direct replacement for 65801-003? A: Yes. The 65801-003LF maintains identical electrical ratings (500V, 2A), operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C), pitch (0.100"), and position count (3). Both are Amphenol ICC Clincher™ series receptacles with IDC termination. The 65801-003LF adds enhanced features (slide lock, ZIF, solder retention) and achieves RoHS compliance.

Q: What are the limitations of 487378-2 as a substitute? A: The 487378-2 is a housing-only component without integrated contacts. Voltage rating is 300V (versus 500V for 65801-003) and current rating is 1.5A (versus 2A). This part is suitable only for applications where housing replacement is required and reduced electrical specifications are acceptable.

Q: Are there FFC/FPC thickness compatibility differences between substitutes? A: The 65801-003 supports 0.33mm FFC/FPC thickness. The 65801-003LF extends compatibility to both 0.30mm and 0.33mm with straight or tapered cable end options. The 487378-2 supports 0.05-0.13mm thickness, reflecting its housing-only design.

Q: What compliance differences exist between the main part and substitutes? A: The 65801-003 is RoHS non-compliant. The 65801-003LF is RoHS compliant with REACH affected status. The 487378-2 is ROHS3 compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status. Select based on regulatory requirements for your application.

Q: Do all substitutes maintain the same mating cycle rating? A: The 65801-003 and 65801-003LF both specify 100 mating cycles. The 487378-2 does not specify mating cycles, as it is a housing-only component.

Q: Are there color differences between substitutes? A: The 65801-003 and 65801-003LF both feature blue housing. The 487378-2 has black housing. Housing color may be a consideration for visual identification or assembly documentation.
