Amphenol ICC 65801-004 FFC/FPC Connector Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65801-004 is a 4-position FFC/FPC connector receptacle assembly with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This Clincher™ series component features IDC termination, tin-plated copper nickel alloy contacts, and operates across -65°C to 105°C. The part is currently active in production with 845 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when component availability changes, supply chain constraints occur, or design flexibility permits functional alternatives within specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for FFC/FPC connector receptacles is determined by the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Pitch: The substitute part must maintain 4 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors and cable assemblies.

Connector Type & Mounting: Both the main part and substitute must function as receptacles in free-hanging in-line configurations to maintain board-level integration.

Electrical Ratings: Substitute parts must meet or exceed the voltage (500V) and current (2A) requirements of the original design. Operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C) and flammability rating (UL94 V-0) establish minimum environmental and safety compliance thresholds.

Termination & Contact Properties: IDC termination and contact material specifications ensure proper signal integrity and mechanical retention in flat flexible cable applications.

The identified substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 487378-3 shares the core functional parameters of 4-position, 0.100" pitch FFC receptacle housing, but presents specific trade-offs in electrical ratings and compliance status that must be evaluated against application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Amphenol ICC 65801-004 remains the primary specification when the application requires 500V voltage rating, 2A current capacity, or RoHS non-compliant component acceptance. This part is active in production with established supply availability (845 units in stock).

TE Connectivity 487378-3 is applicable when design requirements permit 300V maximum voltage and 1.5A maximum current, and when RoHS compliance is mandatory. This substitute offers higher inventory availability (34,344 units) and meets environmental compliance standards. The part is specified as a housing component with contacts not included, requiring verification of contact compatibility with the application assembly process.

Selection between these parts depends on whether the application's electrical requirements align with the TE Connectivity part's lower voltage and current ratings, and whether RoHS compliance is a design constraint. Both parts maintain identical pitch, position count, operating temperature range, and flammability certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE Connectivity 487378-3 directly replace Amphenol ICC 65801-004 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when the application operates at or below 300V and 1.5A. The Amphenol part's higher electrical ratings (500V, 2A) cannot be assumed in the TE part. Mechanical compatibility at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 4-position configuration is maintained.

Q: What is the significance of the TE part being specified as "Housing for Female Contacts" with "Contacts Not Included"?

A: This indicates the TE part is a housing component only. Contact assembly must be performed separately or sourced as a complete assembly. The Amphenol part is specified as a complete receptacle assembly, which may include pre-assembled contacts depending on the specific SKU configuration.

Q: How do the packaging differences (Tray vs. Bulk) affect substitution?

A: Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Tray packaging (Amphenol) typically supports smaller order quantities and automated handling, while Bulk packaging (TE) is optimized for high-volume procurement. Selection depends on supply chain and inventory management requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for -65°C to 105°C operation and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting identical environmental performance standards.

Q: What does RoHS compliance status mean for component selection?

A: RoHS compliance restricts the use of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. The Amphenol part is RoHS non-compliant, while the TE part is RoHS compliant. Selection depends on whether the end application or regional regulations mandate RoHS compliance.

Q: Can the 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch be used interchangeably with other pitch standards?

A: No. The 0.100" pitch is a fixed mechanical specification. Both parts maintain this pitch and are compatible only with mating connectors and cable assemblies designed for 0.100" pitch FFC/FPC systems. Pitch is not interchangeable with other standards such as 0.050" or 0.080".
