Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Amphenol ICC 65801-050 is based on the following critical parameters that must align for functional equivalence:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Number of positions: 21
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Flat flex connector type: FFC/FPC
• Operating temperature range: -65°C to 105°C
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Connector configuration: Receptacle

Secondary Compatibility Factors:

• Voltage and current ratings must meet or exceed the original specification
• Contact material and finish must support equivalent electrical performance
• Housing material must maintain mechanical integrity across the operating temperature range
• Termination compatibility with existing cable assemblies

The identified substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-487378-0 shares the core dimensional and electrical characteristics necessary for functional replacement, though specific application requirements must be evaluated based on the complete system design.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Amphenol ICC 65801-050 Replacement:

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-487378-0 provides dimensional and pitch compatibility for 21-position FFC applications at 0.100" spacing. Both components maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and operate across the -65°C to 105°C temperature range.

Critical Evaluation Points:

1. Voltage and Current Derating: The substitute part carries lower voltage (300V vs. 500V) and current (1.5A vs. 2A) ratings. Applications operating near the original part's maximum electrical specifications require confirmation that the substitute's ratings remain adequate.

2. Cable Thickness Specification: The original part accommodates 0.33mm FFC/FCB thickness, while the substitute accepts 0.05-0.13mm. Existing cable assemblies must be verified for compatibility with the substitute's thickness tolerance window.

3. Product Status: The original part is obsolete. The substitute is active production, supporting long-term availability for ongoing system support and future procurement.

4. Termination and Contact Configuration: Both parts utilize compatible contact and termination approaches for FFC applications, though specific mating interface details should be confirmed against your cable assembly specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 2-487378-0 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 65801-050 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct replacement requires verification of three factors: (1) existing cable thickness compatibility with the substitute's 0.05-0.13mm specification window, (2) confirmation that application voltage and current demands do not exceed the substitute's 300V and 1.5A ratings, and (3) mechanical fit validation with the mating connector interface.

Q: What is the primary reason for seeking a substitute for the 65801-050?

A: The Amphenol ICC 65801-050 is classified as obsolete. The TE Connectivity 2-487378-0 is an active production alternative that maintains core electrical and dimensional compatibility while ensuring ongoing component availability.

Q: Are there differences in contact material or finish between these parts?

A: The input parameters do not provide detailed contact material specifications for the TE Connectivity substitute. Contact material and finish compatibility should be confirmed through the manufacturer's technical documentation before final selection.

Q: How do the electrical ratings compare?

A: The original Amphenol part is rated 500V at 2A, while the TE Connectivity substitute is rated 300V at 1.5A. Applications must operate within the substitute's electrical envelope. If your system requires the higher ratings, alternative substitutes should be evaluated.

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

A: The original part specifies 0.33mm thickness, while the substitute accepts 0.05-0.13mm. This difference directly impacts cable compatibility. Cables designed for the original part may not fit within the substitute's thickness tolerance, requiring cable assembly verification or replacement.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The Amphenol ICC 65801-050 is RoHS non-compliant. The TE Connectivity 2-487378-0 shows "Not applicable" RoHS status. Regulatory compliance requirements for your application should be confirmed independently.
