Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 65801-012 are identified based on strict electrical and mechanical compatibility criteria. The primary substitution parameters are: 12-position count, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, FFC/FPC connector type, receptacle configuration, IDC termination, copper nickel alloy contacts with tin finish, 500V voltage rating, 2A current rating, -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and thermoplastic housing material.

The 65801-012LF variant maintains all core electrical and mechanical parameters while introducing enhanced features including slide lock locking mechanism, zero insertion force (ZIF) actuation, solder retention capability, and support for both straight and tapered cable end types. The FFC/FCB thickness specification expands to 0.30mm and 0.33mm compatibility. This part achieves RoHS compliance status, distinguishing it from the non-compliant primary part.

The 1-487378-1 from TE Connectivity represents a housing-only component for female contacts, sharing the 12-position, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, and FFC connector type. However, this part operates at reduced voltage (300V) and current (1.5A) ratings, with FFC/FCB thickness specification of 0.05-0.13mm. This component is supplied without integrated contacts and serves specialized assembly requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 65801-012LF is the primary direct substitute for the 65801-012, maintaining identical electrical ratings (500V, 2A), mechanical configuration (12 positions, 0.100" pitch, free-hanging in-line), and thermal operating range (-65°C to 105°C). The 65801-012LF achieves RoHS compliance status, providing regulatory advantage over the non-compliant primary part. Enhanced features including slide lock mechanism and zero insertion force (ZIF) actuation are available in the substitute without electrical or mechanical parameter degradation. This part is suitable for direct replacement in new designs and retrofit applications.

The 1-487378-1 from TE Connectivity is not recommended as a direct substitute due to reduced electrical ratings (300V voltage, 1.5A current) and housing-only configuration without integrated contacts. This component is applicable only in specialized assembly scenarios where housing replacement is required independent of contact integration.

For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 65801-012LF is the appropriate selection. For applications with existing non-compliant part qualification, the 65801-012 remains available with 961 units in current inventory.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 65801-012LF replace the 65801-012 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 65801-012LF maintains all core electrical parameters (500V, 2A), mechanical configuration (12 positions, 0.100" pitch, free-hanging in-line mounting), and thermal operating range (-65°C to 105°C). Enhanced features including slide lock and zero insertion force do not compromise compatibility with existing mating interfaces.

Q: What is the primary difference between 65801-012 and 65801-012LF?

A: The 65801-012LF introduces slide lock locking mechanism, zero insertion force (ZIF) actuation, and solder retention features. The substitute achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the primary part is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts share identical electrical ratings and mechanical pitch specifications.

Q: Is the 1-487378-1 a suitable replacement for the 65801-012?

A: No. The 1-487378-1 is a housing-only component without integrated contacts and operates at reduced electrical ratings (300V, 1.5A versus 500V, 2A). This part is not suitable for direct substitution in applications requiring complete receptacle functionality.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these parts?

A: The 65801-012 and 65801-012LF are supplied in tray packaging. The 1-487378-1 is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Are all substitute parts rated for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. All listed parts operate across -65°C to 105°C and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: What is the FFC/FCB thickness specification for each part?

A: The 65801-012 specifies 0.33mm thickness. The 65801-012LF supports both 0.30mm and 0.33mm thickness. The 1-487378-1 specifies 0.05-0.13mm thickness for housing compatibility.
