Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 65801-049 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• 20-position connector configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing
• FFC/FPC connector type
• Free-hanging in-line mounting orientation
• IDC termination method
• Receptacle connector/contact type

Electrical Compatibility Criteria:

• Voltage rating of 500V or higher
• Current rating of 2A or higher
• Operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C or broader
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating

Parts meeting all primary and electrical criteria are classified as direct substitutes. Parts with reduced electrical ratings or different mounting configurations are classified as alternative solutions with application-specific limitations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

65801-049LF (Direct Substitute - Recommended)

The 65801-049LF is the primary substitute for the obsolete 65801-049. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC within the Clincher™ series and share identical electrical specifications: 500V voltage rating, 2A current rating, and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range. The 65801-049LF maintains the same 20-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration and IDC termination method. The 65801-049LF is currently in active production status with RoHS compliance, addressing regulatory requirements that the original part does not meet. Additional features in the 65801-049LF include Flip Lock and Backlock locking mechanisms, Solder Retention, and Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) functionality, which enhance assembly reliability. The FFC/FCB thickness differs slightly (0.30mm versus 0.33mm), and the 65801-049LF includes a tapered cable end type. Inventory availability is higher for the 65801-049LF (1246 pcs versus 1067 pcs).

1-487378-9 (Alternative - Limited Application)

The TE Connectivity 1-487378-9 is an FFC housing component for female contacts with 20 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This part does not meet the full electrical specifications of the 65801-049: the voltage rating is reduced to 300V and the current rating is 1.5A. The part is classified as a housing component with contacts not included, making it unsuitable as a direct connector receptacle replacement. This part is applicable only in applications where the reduced electrical ratings are acceptable and where the housing-only configuration aligns with system design requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 65801-049LF be used as a direct replacement for the 65801-049?

A: Yes. The 65801-049LF maintains identical electrical specifications (500V, 2A, -65°C to 105°C), the same 20-position 2.54mm pitch configuration, and identical termination method (IDC). Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and are mechanically and electrically compatible. The 65801-049LF is the active production equivalent.

Q: What are the key differences between the 65801-049 and 65801-049LF?

A: The 65801-049LF is RoHS compliant while the 65801-049 is not. The 65801-049LF includes additional locking features (Flip Lock, Backlock), Solder Retention, and Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) functionality. The FFC/FCB thickness is 0.30mm (versus 0.33mm), and the 65801-049LF includes a tapered cable end type. Both parts share identical electrical ratings and operating temperature ranges.

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-487378-9 replace the 65801-049?

A: No. The 1-487378-9 has reduced electrical specifications (300V voltage rating, 1.5A current rating) and is a housing component with contacts not included. It is not a complete connector receptacle and does not meet the electrical requirements of the 65801-049.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitutes?

A: The 65801-049LF is supplied in Tray packaging. The 1-487378-9 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging selection should be based on procurement volume and assembly process requirements.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance considerations for substitute selection?

A: Yes. The original 65801-049 is RoHS non-compliant. The 65801-049LF is RoHS compliant, and the 1-487378-9 is ROHS3 compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the 65801-049LF is the appropriate substitute.

Q: What is the difference between FFC and FPC connector types?

A: Both FFC (Flat Flexible Cable) and FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) connectors use the same 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and IDC termination in this product category. The 65801-049 and 65801-049LF support both FFC and FPC applications. The 1-487378-9 is specified for FFC applications.
