Amphenol ICC 65801-008 FFC/FPC Connector Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65801-008 is an 8-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. The part is currently active in production with 1100 pieces available in inventory. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to RoHS non-compliance status, supply chain considerations, or specific application requirements for enhanced features such as zero insertion force or slide lock mechanisms.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 65801-008 is determined by the following critical parameters: 8-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, FFC/FPC receptacle type, free-hanging mounting orientation, and IDC termination method. These parameters define the mechanical and electrical interface compatibility.

The substitute parts identified are grouped as follows:

Direct Functional Equivalent (65801-008LF): Maintains identical core specifications including 8 positions, 2.54mm pitch, receptacle configuration, and IDC termination. This part is from the same manufacturer series (Clincher™) and provides enhanced features including slide lock mechanism, zero insertion force (ZIF), and solder retention. The primary distinction is RoHS compliance status and expanded FFC/FCB thickness tolerance (0.30mm, 0.33mm).

Cross-Manufacturer Housing Component (487378-7): This TE Connectivity part is a housing-only component for female contacts, maintaining the 8-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration. This part is suitable for applications requiring housing replacement or custom contact assembly. Note that contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (65801-008LF): This part is the primary equivalent for the 65801-008. It maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters while providing RoHS compliance. The addition of slide lock and zero insertion force features represents functional enhancement without interface modification. Selection of this part is appropriate when RoHS compliance is required or when enhanced mating reliability is specified.

For Housing-Only Applications (487378-7): This TE Connectivity part is suitable only for applications requiring housing replacement or custom contact assembly. The reduced voltage rating (300V versus 500V) and current rating (1.5A versus 2A) must be evaluated against application requirements. This part is not a direct functional replacement but serves specialized assembly scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 65801-008LF be used as a direct replacement for 65801-008?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical 8-position, 2.54mm pitch receptacle configuration with IDC termination. The 65801-008LF provides equivalent electrical performance (500V, 2A) and mechanical interface compatibility. The primary differences are RoHS compliance status and enhanced features (slide lock, ZIF). Mechanical and electrical interface compatibility is confirmed.

Q: What is the difference between 65801-008 and 65801-008LF?

A: The 65801-008LF is RoHS compliant, whereas the 65801-008 is not. The 65801-008LF includes slide lock and zero insertion force features. Both parts support identical FFC/FCB thickness ranges with minor tolerance differences (65801-008LF: 0.30mm, 0.33mm; 65801-008: 0.33mm). Electrical ratings and operating temperature ranges are identical.

Q: Is 487378-7 a complete replacement for 65801-008?

A: No. The 487378-7 is a housing-only component without integrated contacts. It is not a complete functional replacement. This part is suitable only for applications requiring housing replacement or custom contact assembly. The reduced voltage (300V) and current (1.5A) ratings must be verified against application specifications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: 8-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, FFC/FPC receptacle type, free-hanging mounting orientation, and IDC termination method. These parameters define the mechanical interface and electrical connection capability. Voltage and current ratings must meet or exceed application requirements.

Q: Can I use 487378-7 in applications requiring 500V or 2A ratings?

A: No. The 487378-7 has a 300V voltage rating and 1.5A current rating, both lower than the 65801-008 specifications. Application requirements must be verified before selection. If 500V and 2A ratings are required, use 65801-008 or 65801-008LF.

Q: What is the inventory status for substitute parts?

A: 65801-008LF has 6001 pieces available. 487378-7 has 31478 pieces available. The original 65801-008 has 1100 pieces available.
