Amphenol ICC 65801-036 FFC/FPC Connector Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65801-036 is a 7-position FFC/FPC connector receptacle with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This active product features IDC termination, gold-plated copper nickel alloy contacts, and operates across -65°C to 105°C with a 500V rating. Substitute parts are identified to address inventory availability, compliance requirements, or specific application needs while maintaining core electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 65801-036 are identified based on the following core compatibility parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• 7-position connector configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing
• FFC/FPC connector category
• Free-hanging in-line mounting orientation
• IDC or equivalent termination method
• Operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Substitute Classification:

Direct Substitute (65801-036LF): Maintains identical position count, pitch, mounting type, and termination method. Differs in FFC thickness specification (0.20mm vs. 0.33mm), includes flip lock locking feature and tapered cable end type, and achieves RoHS compliance status.

Manufacturer-Recommended Substitute (487378-6): TE Connectivity AMP Connectors housing component for 7-position, 0.100" pitch FFC applications. Functions as a housing-only component with female contact compatibility. Operates within the same temperature range and flammability standard. Voltage rating reduced to 300V and current rating to 1.5A. Supplied without contacts.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

65801-036LF Selection Criteria: Select 65801-036LF when RoHS compliance is required for the application or end-market. This direct substitute maintains electrical specifications (500V, 2A) and mechanical compatibility (7-position, 0.100" pitch, free-hanging mounting). The reduced FFC thickness (0.20mm vs. 0.33mm) accommodates thinner flexible circuits. Flip lock locking feature and tapered cable end type provide enhanced mechanical retention. Product status is active with established supply chain availability.

487378-6 Selection Criteria: Select 487378-6 only when a housing-only component is required for custom contact assembly or repair applications. This part is not a direct functional substitute due to its housing-only configuration and reduced electrical ratings (300V, 1.5A). Use is limited to applications where voltage and current requirements do not exceed these specifications and where contacts are sourced separately. Product status is active.

Compliance Considerations: The 65801-036 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must specify 65801-036LF. The 487378-6 RoHS status is not applicable due to its housing-only nature.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 65801-036LF be used as a direct replacement for 65801-036? A: Yes, 65801-036LF is a direct substitute. Both maintain 7-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, 500V/2A ratings, and -65°C to 105°C operating range. The primary differences are FFC thickness (0.20mm vs. 0.33mm), locking feature (flip lock), and RoHS compliance status. Verify FFC thickness compatibility with your application before substitution.

Q: What is the functional difference between 65801-036 and 487378-6? A: The 487378-6 is a housing-only component without integrated contacts, whereas 65801-036 is a complete receptacle assembly. The 487378-6 is not a direct functional substitute and is used only when housing replacement or custom contact assembly is required. Electrical ratings differ: 487378-6 is rated 300V/1.5A compared to 65801-036 at 500V/2A.

Q: Are all three parts compatible with the same FFC/FPC cables? A: 65801-036 and 65801-036LF are compatible with FFC/FPC cables of 0.100" pitch and appropriate thickness. The 487378-6 housing accommodates FFC thickness of 0.05-0.13mm. Verify cable thickness specifications against connector requirements before assembly.

Q: What does "housing-only" mean for part 487378-6? A: The 487378-6 is supplied as a housing component without pre-installed contacts. Contacts must be sourced and assembled separately. This configuration is used for repair, customization, or when specific contact types are required.

Q: Which substitute should I select for new designs? A: For new designs, select based on compliance requirements. If RoHS compliance is mandatory, specify 65801-036LF. If RoHS compliance is not required and FFC thickness of 0.33mm is specified, the original 65801-036 is appropriate. The 487378-6 is not recommended for new complete connector designs.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts? A: Yes. The 65801-036 and 65801-036LF are supplied in trays. The 487378-6 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.
