Amphenol ICC 65801-026 FFC/FPC Connector Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65801-026 is a 26-position FFC/FPC connector receptacle with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line 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 part is currently obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing system support and component procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 65801-026 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

• Number of Positions: 26 positions (fixed requirement)
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) (fixed requirement)
• Connector Type: Receptacle (fixed requirement)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line) (fixed requirement)
• Termination Method: IDC (fixed requirement)
• Voltage Rating: 500V minimum (fixed requirement)
• Current Rating: 2A minimum (fixed requirement)
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C ~ 105°C (fixed requirement)
• Contact Material: Copper Nickel Alloy (fixed requirement)
• Contact Finish: Tin (fixed requirement)
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic (fixed requirement)
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (fixed requirement)

The substitute part 65801-026LF meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in FFC/FCB thickness (0.30mm, 0.33mm), locking features (Slide Lock), cable end type (Straight, Tapered), and additional features (Solder Retention, Zero Insertion Force) represent enhancements that do not compromise compatibility with the original specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 65801-026LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 65801-026. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, mechanical dimensions, and performance characteristics across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the 65801-026 is obsolete while the 65801-026LF remains in active production with full inventory availability.

The 65801-026LF offers additional compliance benefits. It meets RoHS requirements and REACH regulations, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs or systems requiring regulatory compliance, the 65801-026LF is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where RoHS compliance is not mandated, the 65801-026LF remains functionally equivalent and fully compatible.

The 65801-026LF includes enhanced features such as Slide Lock, Solder Retention, and Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) capability, which provide operational advantages without altering the core electrical or mechanical interface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 65801-026LF be used as a direct replacement for the 65801-026?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (500V, 2A), mechanical configuration (26 positions, 2.54mm pitch), operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C), and termination method (IDC). The 65801-026LF is fully compatible with applications designed for the 65801-026.

Q: What is the difference between the 65801-026 and 65801-026LF?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 65801-026 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 65801-026LF is in active production and RoHS compliant. The 65801-026LF also includes enhanced features such as Slide Lock, Solder Retention, and Zero Insertion Force capability. All core electrical and mechanical specifications remain identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 65801-026 was supplied in standard packaging, while the 65801-026LF is supplied in Tray packaging. This difference affects handling and storage but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Does the FFC/FCB thickness variation in the 65801-026LF affect compatibility?

A: No. The 65801-026LF accommodates both 0.30mm and 0.33mm FFC/FCB thickness, providing flexibility for different cable specifications. This range includes the 0.33mm thickness of the original 65801-026, ensuring full compatibility.

Q: What are the cable end type options for the 65801-026LF?

A: The 65801-026LF supports both Straight and Tapered cable end types. Selection depends on application requirements and does not affect the connector's electrical or mechanical interface.

Q: Is the 65801-026LF suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The 65801-026LF is in active production with full regulatory compliance (RoHS, REACH). It is the recommended choice for new designs requiring the 26-position, 2.54mm pitch FFC/FPC receptacle configuration.
