Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 487378-7 is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute for the Amphenol ICC 65801-037. Substitution compatibility is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Category: Both parts are FFC/FPC connectors
• Number of Positions: Both accommodate 8 positions
• Pitch Specification: Both use 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch
• Mounting Configuration: Both support free-hanging in-line mounting
• Operating Temperature Range: Both operate across -65°C to 105°C
• Flammability Rating: Both meet UL94 V-0 standard
• Housing Material: Both use thermoplastic construction
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The 487378-7 is classified as a housing component for female contacts, whereas the 65801-037 is a complete receptacle assembly. This distinction reflects the component-level architecture of the substitute part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the Amphenol ICC 65801-037 and TE Connectivity 487378-7 shall be based on the following criteria:

Amphenol ICC 65801-037 is appropriate for applications requiring:

• Voltage ratings up to 500V
• Current capacity of 2A
• Complete receptacle assembly configuration
• Blue housing identification
• Tray packaging for controlled quantities

TE Connectivity 487378-7 is appropriate for applications requiring:

• RoHS compliance certification
• Voltage ratings up to 300V
• Current capacity of 1.5A
• Housing component for female contacts (contacts not included)
• Black housing identification
• Bulk packaging for high-volume procurement
• Extended inventory availability

Both parts maintain active product status and identical operating temperature ranges (-65°C to 105°C) with UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The primary differentiators are voltage/current ratings, RoHS compliance status, and component architecture (complete assembly versus housing component).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 487378-7 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 65801-037 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement depends on application voltage and current requirements. The 487378-7 has lower voltage (300V vs. 500V) and current (1.5A vs. 2A) ratings. Additionally, the 487378-7 is a housing component without contacts included, whereas the 65801-037 is a complete receptacle assembly. Verify that your application requirements do not exceed the 487378-7 specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the FFC/FCB thickness difference between these parts?

A: The 65801-037 specifies 0.33mm thickness, while the 487378-7 specifies 0.05-0.13mm. This parameter defines the acceptable flat flexible cable or printed circuit board thickness that the connector accommodates. Ensure your cable or board thickness is compatible with the selected part.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution eligibility?

A: RoHS compliance status is a regulatory and procurement consideration. The 65801-037 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 487378-7 is RoHS compliant. If your application or region requires RoHS compliance, the 487378-7 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Why does the 487378-7 note "Contacts Not Included"?

A: The 487378-7 is a housing component only. If selected as a substitute, contacts must be sourced separately and assembled into the housing. The 65801-037 is a complete receptacle assembly with contacts integrated.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts operate across -65°C to 105°C and meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards, ensuring thermal and safety performance parity across this specification range.

Q: What packaging considerations should influence part selection?

A: The 65801-037 is supplied in tray packaging (742 units in stock), while the 487378-7 is supplied in bulk packaging (31,478 units in stock). Bulk packaging typically supports higher-volume procurement and may offer cost advantages for large-scale production.
