Amphenol ICC 65801-062 FFC/FPC Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65801-062 is a 3-position FFC/FPC receptacle connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for flat flexible cable termination in free-hanging (in-line) applications. This connector features IDC (insulation displacement contact) termination, gold-plated copper nickel alloy contacts, and operates across -65°C to 105°C. The product is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the Amphenol ICC 65801-062 is based on the following critical parameters that must align for functional compatibility:

• Connector Type & Configuration: 3-position FFC receptacle housing
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) contact spacing
• Flat Flex Compatibility: FFC/FPC cable thickness tolerance
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage and current capacity sufficient for application requirements
• Operating Temperature Range: -65°C to 105°C minimum
• Material Flammability: UL94 V-0 compliance
• Termination Interface: IDC or equivalent contact engagement method

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 487378-2 qualifies as a substitute based on matching pitch, position count, FFC compatibility, operating temperature range, and flammability rating. This part functions as a housing for female contacts in a 3-position, 0.100" pitch configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 487378-2 serves as an active substitute for the obsolete Amphenol ICC 65801-062. Selection of this substitute is justified by the following engineering factors:

Product Status: The 65801-062 is obsolete, while the 487378-2 is actively manufactured and stocked (22,805 pcs available), ensuring long-term supply chain continuity.

Electrical Compatibility: Both connectors operate within the -65°C to 105°C temperature range and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 487378-2 operates at 300V and 1.5A, which is lower than the 65801-062 (500V, 2A). Applications requiring the full electrical capacity of the original part must evaluate whether the substitute's ratings are sufficient for the specific use case.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts maintain 3-position, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch FFC configuration, ensuring physical and electrical interface compatibility with existing cable assemblies and mating connectors.

Regulatory Compliance: The 487378-2 achieves ROHS3 compliance, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards, whereas the 65801-062 is non-compliant. This makes the substitute preferable for new designs and applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Contact Configuration: The 487378-2 is specified as a housing for female contacts. Verification that the application uses female contacts is required before substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 487378-2 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 65801-062 in existing assemblies?

A: Direct replacement is possible if the application's voltage and current requirements do not exceed 300V and 1.5A respectively. The 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and 3-position configuration are identical, ensuring mechanical and electrical interface compatibility with existing flat flexible cables and mating connectors.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The Amphenol ICC 65801-062 is obsolete. The TE Connectivity 487378-2 is an active product with current manufacturing and inventory availability, providing supply chain continuity.

Q: Are there electrical rating differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The 65801-062 is rated for 500V and 2A, while the 487378-2 is rated for 300V and 1.5A. Applications operating at or near the original part's maximum ratings must confirm that the substitute's lower ratings are acceptable for the intended use.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 65801-062 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 487378-2 is ROHS3 compliant. For new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations, the 487378-2 is the appropriate choice. Existing legacy systems using the 65801-062 may continue operation without regulatory impact.

Q: Does the 487378-2 include contacts?

A: No. The 487378-2 is specified as a housing for female contacts. Contacts must be sourced separately and are not included with this part.

Q: Are the operating temperature ranges identical?

A: Yes. Both connectors operate across -65°C to 105°C, ensuring thermal compatibility in equivalent applications.

Q: What FFC cable thickness specifications apply to each connector?

A: The 65801-062 accommodates 0.33mm FFC/FPC thickness. The 487378-2 accommodates 0.05-0.13mm FFC thickness. Verify that the cable thickness used in the application falls within the 487378-2 specification before substitution.
