Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 65801-017LF is classified as a direct manufacturer equivalent within the Amphenol ICC Clincher™ series. Substitution is valid based on the following core parameters that remain constant across both parts:

• Number of Positions: 17
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Termination Method: IDC
• Voltage Rating: 500V
• Current Rating: 2A
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to 105°C
• Contact Material: Copper Nickel Alloy
• Contact Finish: Tin
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Mating Cycles: 100
• Base Product Number: 65801

The 65801-017LF variant introduces enhanced features including Slide Lock locking mechanism, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) operation, and Solder Retention capability. The FFC/FPC thickness tolerance is expanded to 0.30mm and 0.33mm, and cable end type options include Straight and Tapered configurations. These additions represent functional enhancements rather than deviations from core electrical and mechanical specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between 65801-017 and 65801-017LF is determined by regulatory compliance requirements and design feature needs:

65801-017 is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated and standard insertion force is acceptable. This part maintains active product status and is available in higher inventory quantity.

65801-017LF is required for designs subject to RoHS regulations and applications benefiting from Zero Insertion Force operation and Slide Lock retention. The expanded FFC/FPC thickness tolerance (0.30mm and 0.33mm) accommodates a broader range of cable specifications. This part is RoHS Compliant and includes Solder Retention capability, making it appropriate for automated assembly environments and applications requiring enhanced mechanical retention.

Both parts share identical electrical ratings (500V, 2A), operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C), and mechanical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), ensuring functional interchangeability within the specified parameter envelope.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 65801-017LF replace 65801-017 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the design does not explicitly exclude the additional features present in 65801-017LF (Slide Lock, ZIF, Solder Retention). The core electrical and mechanical parameters are identical. PCB layout compatibility must be confirmed, as the Slide Lock mechanism may affect physical footprint.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 65801-017LF includes Slide Lock locking mechanism, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) operation, and Solder Retention features. Additionally, 65801-017LF is RoHS Compliant, while 65801-017 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings and operating temperature specifications.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect electrical performance?

A: No. RoHS compliance status reflects material composition and manufacturing process adherence to regulatory standards. Electrical performance, voltage rating, current rating, and contact characteristics remain unchanged between RoHS-compliant and non-compliant variants within this product family.

Q: Are the FFC/FPC thickness specifications interchangeable?

A: The 65801-017 is specified for 0.33mm thickness. The 65801-017LF accepts both 0.30mm and 0.33mm thickness. If your design uses 0.30mm cable, only 65801-017LF is suitable. If your design uses 0.33mm cable, both parts are compatible.

Q: What does Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) mean?

A: ZIF operation reduces the force required to insert and remove the flat flexible cable. This feature is present in 65801-017LF and reduces mechanical stress on both the connector and cable during mating cycles.

Q: Are mating cycle ratings identical?

A: Yes. Both 65801-017 and 65801-017LF are rated for 100 mating cycles, indicating equivalent mechanical durability and contact life expectancy.

Q: Can I use 65801-017 in applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: No. The 65801-017 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use 65801-017LF or equivalent RoHS-compliant alternatives.
