Amphenol ICC 65801-015 FFC/FPC Connector Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65801-015 is a 15-position FFC/FPC connector receptacle with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line mounting applications. This connector features IDC termination, tin-plated copper nickel alloy contacts, and operates across -65°C to 105°C with a 500V voltage rating and 2A current capacity.

The 65801-015 is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this connector type.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 65801-015 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Position Count: Must be 15 positions
• Pitch Specification: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Classification: Must be FFC/FPC receptacle type
• Mounting Configuration: Must support free-hanging in-line mounting
• Termination Type: Must utilize IDC termination
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage rating must be ≥500V; current rating must be ≥2A
• Operating Temperature: Must support -65°C to 105°C range
• Contact Material & Finish: Copper nickel alloy with tin plating acceptable
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic construction
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating required

Based on these parameters, the following parts qualify as substitutes:

65801-015LF (Amphenol ICC) — Direct manufacturer equivalent with enhanced features and active product status.

1-487378-4 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) — Cross-manufacturer housing component for 15-position FFC connectors at 0.100" pitch; note that this part is a housing-only component without integrated contacts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

65801-015LF is the primary substitute for the obsolete 65801-015. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC within the Clincher™ series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 65801-015LF offers the advantage of active product status and RoHS compliance, making it suitable for new designs and ongoing production. The 65801-015LF is available in tray packaging with enhanced features including slide lock and zero insertion force (ZIF) capability.

1-487378-4 (TE Connectivity) qualifies as a cross-manufacturer substitute based on matching position count, pitch, and operating temperature range. However, this part functions as a housing component for female contacts without integrated contacts. The voltage rating (300V) and current rating (1.5A) are lower than the main part specifications. This part is suitable only in applications where the electrical requirements do not exceed 300V and 1.5A, and where a housing-only configuration is acceptable. ROHS3 compliance status is confirmed.

Selection between 65801-015LF and 1-487378-4 depends on application requirements: use 65801-015LF for direct functional replacement with full receptacle capability; use 1-487378-4 only if a housing-only component meets the design specification and electrical constraints are satisfied.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 65801-015LF directly replace the obsolete 65801-015?

A: Yes. The 65801-015LF maintains identical position count (15), pitch (0.100"), connector type (FFC/FPC receptacle), mounting configuration (free-hanging in-line), termination method (IDC), voltage rating (500V), current rating (2A), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C). Both parts use copper nickel alloy contacts with tin plating and thermoplastic housing with UL94 V-0 rating. The 65801-015LF is the direct manufacturer equivalent with active product status.

Q: What is the functional difference between 65801-015LF and 1-487378-4?

A: The 65801-015LF is a complete FFC/FPC receptacle connector with integrated contacts and IDC termination. The 1-487378-4 is a housing component only, designed to accommodate female contacts separately. The 1-487378-4 does not include contacts and requires separate contact assembly. This distinction affects application suitability and assembly requirements.

Q: Are there electrical rating differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The 65801-015 and 65801-015LF both specify 500V voltage rating and 2A current rating. The 1-487378-4 specifies 300V voltage rating and 1.5A current rating. Applications requiring the full 500V/2A specification must use 65801-015LF. Applications operating at or below 300V/1.5A may use 1-487378-4 if the housing-only configuration is acceptable.

Q: What is the RoHS compliance status of these parts?

A: The 65801-015 (obsolete) is RoHS non-compliant. The 65801-015LF is RoHS compliant. The 1-487378-4 is ROHS3 compliant. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, both 65801-015LF and 1-487378-4 are acceptable; however, 65801-015LF is the preferred choice for direct functional replacement.

Q: Does packaging differ between substitute parts?

A: Yes. The 65801-015 packaging is not specified. The 65801-015LF is supplied in tray packaging. The 1-487378-4 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection may affect inventory management and assembly line integration.

Q: Can 1-487378-4 be used in all applications where 65801-015 was used?

A: No. The 1-487378-4 is a housing-only component without integrated contacts, and its electrical ratings (300V/1.5A) are lower than the original part (500V/2A). Use 1-487378-4 only in applications where: (1) a housing-only configuration is acceptable, (2) voltage requirements do not exceed 300V, and (3) current requirements do not exceed 1.5A. For standard replacement, use 65801-015LF.
