Amphenol ICC 65801-006 FFC/FPC Connector Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65801-006 is a 6-position FFC/FPC connector receptacle assembly with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line mounting 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 655 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when component availability changes, supply chain constraints occur, or design flexibility is required within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

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

Position Count & Pitch: The substitute part must maintain 6 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating FFC/FPC cables and connectors.

Connector Type & Mounting: Both the main part and substitute must function as receptacles in free-hanging or 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 application. Operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C) and flammability rating (UL94 V-0) establish the environmental and safety baseline.

Termination & Contact Properties: IDC termination with tin-plated copper nickel alloy contacts defines the electrical interface and solder/crimp compatibility.

Flat Flex Thickness Tolerance: FFC/FPC thickness specifications (0.33mm for main part, 0.05-0.13mm for substitute) must accommodate the cable gauge used in the application.

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 487378-5 qualifies as a substitute based on matching position count, pitch, connector type, operating temperature, flammability rating, and thermoplastic housing material. Differences in voltage rating (300V vs. 500V) and current rating (1.5A vs. 2A) represent reduced electrical capacity; this part is suitable only for applications within its specified limits.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part (Amphenol ICC 65801-006): Select this part for applications requiring 500V and 2A electrical ratings. The part is active in production with established supply (655 units in stock). RoHS non-compliance must be evaluated against regulatory requirements for the end application.

Substitute Part (TE Connectivity 487378-5): This part is suitable for applications operating within 300V and 1.5A limits. The substitute offers RoHS compliance, which may be required for certain markets or customer specifications. Verify that the reduced electrical ratings do not exceed application requirements before substitution. The FFC/FPC thickness tolerance range (0.05-0.13mm) differs from the main part; confirm cable compatibility with the specific connector housing.

Both parts share identical position count, pitch, operating temperature range, and flammability rating, establishing the foundation for mechanical and thermal interchangeability within their respective electrical limits.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 487378-5 be used as a direct replacement for the Amphenol ICC 65801-006?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the application operates within the TE Connectivity part's electrical limits (300V maximum, 1.5A maximum). The 6-position, 0.100" pitch configuration and operating temperature range are identical. Verify that your application does not require the higher voltage or current ratings of the original part.

Q: What is the significance of the FFC/FPC thickness tolerance difference?

A: The Amphenol part specifies 0.33mm thickness, while the TE Connectivity part accepts 0.05-0.13mm. This tolerance range affects which FFC/FPC cable gauges are compatible with each connector housing. Confirm that your cable thickness falls within the substitute part's acceptable range before substitution.

Q: Does the TE Connectivity substitute offer any advantages?

A: The TE Connectivity 487378-5 is RoHS compliant, whereas the Amphenol part is non-compliant. If RoHS compliance is required for your application or market, the substitute provides this benefit. However, the substitute has lower electrical ratings and different packaging (bulk vs. tray).

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with mating connectors?

A: Both parts maintain the same 6-position, 0.100" pitch configuration, ensuring compatibility with standard FFC/FPC mating connectors designed for this pitch. Verify that the connector housing dimensions and contact arrangement match your existing mating interface.

Q: What should be verified before implementing a substitution?

A: Confirm that the application's voltage requirement does not exceed 300V and current requirement does not exceed 1.5A. Verify FFC/FPC cable thickness compatibility with the substitute part's tolerance range. Review any RoHS or regulatory compliance requirements specific to your end market.
