Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 65801-053 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 24
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Connector Type: FFC/FPC Receptacle
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Termination Method: IDC
• Voltage Rating: 500V
• Current Rating: 2A
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to 105°C
• Contact Material: Copper Nickel Alloy
• Contact Finish: Gold or Gold, GXT™
• Housing Material: Thermoplastic
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Series: Clincher™

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• FFC/FPC Thickness: 0.30mm to 0.33mm
• Contact Finish Thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm) maintained
• Locking Features: May include Flip Lock, Backlock, or Zero Insertion Force (ZIF)
• Cable End Type: May be standard or tapered
• Actuator Color: May vary
• RoHS Compliance Status: May differ
• Mating Cycles: 100 or greater

The substitute part 65801-053LF meets all mandatory matching parameters and falls within allowable variation ranges, qualifying it as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (65801-053): Select the 65801-053 when the application requires a connector without locking features and when RoHS non-compliance is acceptable for the end application. This part maintains active production status and has adequate inventory availability.

Substitute Part Selection (65801-053LF): The 65801-053LF is the direct functional equivalent and is recommended as the preferred substitute due to the following engineering considerations:

• All critical electrical and mechanical parameters are identical to the main part
• Enhanced locking features (Flip Lock, Backlock) and Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) provide improved mechanical reliability
• Tapered cable end type facilitates easier insertion and reduces contact wear
• Solder retention feature improves assembly robustness
• RoHS Compliant status meets modern regulatory requirements for new designs
• Inventory availability (1117 units) exceeds the main part
• Both parts share identical base product number (65801) and Clincher™ series designation

The 65801-053LF is suitable for direct substitution in applications currently using the 65801-053 without design modification or re-qualification, provided the application can accommodate the enhanced features.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 65801-053LF be used as a direct replacement for the 65801-053?

A: Yes. The 65801-053LF meets all mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters of the 65801-053. The substitute part includes enhanced locking features and improved assembly characteristics that are compatible with standard FFC/FPC cable assemblies designed for 24-position, 0.100" pitch receptacles.

Q: What is the difference in FFC/FPC thickness between these parts?

A: The main part (65801-053) accommodates 0.33mm thickness cable, while the substitute (65801-053LF) accommodates 0.30mm thickness cable. Both thicknesses are standard in FFC/FPC applications and fall within compatible tolerance ranges for the Clincher™ series receptacle design.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect substitution?

A: The 65801-053LF is RoHS Compliant, while the 65801-053 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or requiring compliance with modern environmental standards, the 65801-053LF is the appropriate selection. For legacy applications without RoHS requirements, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are the locking features on the 65801-053LF compatible with existing cable assemblies?

A: Yes. The Flip Lock, Backlock, and Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) features on the 65801-053LF are integrated into the receptacle design and do not require changes to mating FFC/FPC cable assemblies. These features enhance connection reliability without affecting mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the tapered cable end type on the 65801-053LF?

A: The tapered cable end type facilitates smoother insertion into the receptacle, reduces contact wear during mating cycles, and improves overall connection reliability. This is a design enhancement that does not affect electrical performance or compatibility with standard FFC/FPC cables.

Q: Can both parts be used interchangeably in the same application?

A: Yes. Both the 65801-053 and 65801-053LF are functionally equivalent for applications requiring 24-position, 0.100" pitch FFC/FPC receptacles with IDC termination, 500V voltage rating, 2A current rating, and -65°C to 105°C operating temperature range. Selection between them should be based on RoHS compliance requirements, locking feature requirements, and cable thickness specifications for the specific application.
