Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 65801-104 is determined by strict equivalence across core electrical and mechanical parameters. The following parameters must remain identical for a part to qualify as a direct substitute:

• Connector type and series (CIC Receptacle, Clincher™)
• Number of positions (4)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Termination method (IDC)
• Voltage rating (500V)
• Current rating (2A)
• Operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C)
• Contact material and finish specifications
• Housing material and flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• FFC/FCB thickness (0.33mm)
• Mating cycle rating (100)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The 65801-104LF qualifies as a direct substitute because it maintains all core electrical and mechanical parameters while introducing enhanced features (Slide Lock, Zero Insertion Force) and improved compliance status (RoHS Compliant, REACH Affected).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 65801-104LF serves as a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the 65801-104, maintaining all core performance specifications while offering enhanced features and improved regulatory compliance.

Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Select 65801-104 when:

• Legacy design requirements mandate the original part number
• RoHS non-compliance is acceptable for the application
• Cost optimization is the primary driver and enhanced features are not required

Select 65801-104LF when:

• RoHS compliance is required by design specifications or regulatory requirements
• REACH compliance documentation is necessary
• Enhanced mechanical features (Slide Lock, Zero Insertion Force) provide operational benefits
• Higher inventory availability supports supply chain requirements
• Long-term component availability and production continuity are priorities

Both parts are rated for identical electrical performance (500V, 2A), temperature operation (-65°C to 105°C), and mechanical durability (100 mating cycles). The choice between them is determined by compliance requirements and feature requirements rather than electrical or thermal performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 65801-104LF be used as a direct replacement for the 65801-104 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 65801-104LF maintains identical electrical ratings (500V, 2A), operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C), connector pitch (0.100"), position count (4), and termination method (IDC). All core mechanical parameters including housing material, contact specifications, and mating cycle rating are equivalent. The substitute introduces enhanced features (Slide Lock, Zero Insertion Force) that do not compromise backward compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) RoHS compliance status (65801-104LF is compliant; 65801-104 is non-compliant), (2) mechanical features (65801-104LF includes Slide Lock and Zero Insertion Force; 65801-104 does not), (3) cable end type (65801-104LF specifies Notched; 65801-104 is not specified), and (4) inventory availability (65801-104LF has 2420 units versus 824 units for 65801-104). Electrical and thermal performance are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when switching between these part numbers?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts use identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position configuration (4-position), mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line), and IDC termination. Housing color is identical (Blue) for both parts. The enhanced features in the 65801-104LF (Slide Lock, ZIF) provide additional mechanical security without affecting electrical interface compatibility.

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

A: The 65801-104LF is RoHS Compliant, meaning it meets the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive requirements. The 65801-104 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the 65801-104LF is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain identical electrical performance and operating specifications.

Q: Does the Slide Lock feature on the 65801-104LF affect mating or unmating procedures?

A: The Slide Lock feature provides mechanical retention without altering the fundamental mating interface. Both parts maintain the same 0.100" pitch, 4-position configuration, and IDC termination. The Slide Lock on the 65801-104LF enhances mechanical security during operation but does not change the electrical or physical mating characteristics.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the 65801-104 and 65801-104LF are rated for -65°C to 105°C operation. Temperature performance is identical between the two parts.

Q: What does Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) mean on the 65801-104LF?

A: Zero Insertion Force indicates that the connector receptacle requires minimal force for mating and unmating operations. This feature reduces mechanical stress on the connector contacts and cable during connection procedures. The 65801-104 does not specify this feature.
