Amphenol ICC 65801-108 FFC/FPC Connector Receptacle Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65801-108 is an 8-position CIC (Clincher) connector receptacle designed for flat flexible cable (FFC) applications with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing. This free-hanging, in-line receptacle utilizes IDC (insulation displacement contact) termination and is rated for 500V operation across an extended temperature range of -65°C to 105°C. The part is currently active in production with 827 units in stock. Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide procurement flexibility, support supply chain continuity, and accommodate specific application requirements such as RoHS compliance or enhanced locking features.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 65801-108 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Series: Must be CIC (Clincher) receptacle from the Amphenol ICC product line
• Position Count & Pitch: Exactly 8 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) spacing
• Mounting Configuration: Free hanging, in-line orientation
• Termination Method: IDC contact system
• FFC Compatibility: 0.33mm flat flexible cable thickness
• Electrical Ratings: 500V voltage and 2A current capacity
• Temperature Range: -65°C to 105°C operating envelope
• Contact & Housing Materials: Copper nickel alloy contacts with tin finish; thermoplastic housing

The substitute part 65801-108LF meets all these core parameters while introducing enhanced features (slide lock, zero insertion force, solder retention) and improved compliance status (RoHS compliant, REACH affected). These additions do not compromise backward compatibility with applications designed for the base 65801-108 model.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

65801-108: Select this part for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and legacy system compatibility is required. The part maintains active production status and is suitable for non-regulated markets or existing designs with established supply chains.

65801-108LF: Select this part for new designs, regulated applications, or environments requiring RoHS compliance. The LF variant introduces slide lock and zero insertion force (ZIF) features with solder retention capability, providing enhanced mechanical reliability and ease of assembly. REACH affected status indicates compliance with European chemical regulations. Higher inventory availability (2683 units) supports shorter lead times.

Both parts share identical electrical performance, temperature ratings, and mechanical compatibility with 0.33mm FFC cables. Selection between them depends on regulatory requirements, assembly methodology preferences, and supply chain strategy rather than functional performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 65801-108LF directly replace 65801-108 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 65801-108LF maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 65801-108. Both connectors accept identical 8-position, 0.33mm FFC cables at 2.54mm pitch. The additional features (slide lock, ZIF, solder retention) in the LF variant enhance assembly reliability without affecting backward compatibility.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 65801-108LF includes slide lock and zero insertion force (ZIF) features with solder retention, and carries RoHS compliant status. The base 65801-108 lacks these enhancements and is RoHS non-compliant. Electrical ratings, temperature range, and contact specifications are identical.

Q: Which part should be specified for new product designs?

A: The 65801-108LF is recommended for new designs due to RoHS compliance, enhanced locking mechanism, and ZIF insertion capability. These features align with current manufacturing standards and regulatory requirements in most markets.

Q: Are there any cable compatibility differences?

A: No. Both parts are designed for 0.33mm thick FFC cables with 8 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. Cable compatibility is identical between the two receptacles.

Q: What does the "LF" designation indicate?

A: The "LF" suffix indicates the presence of locking features (slide lock) and zero insertion force (ZIF) functionality, along with solder retention capability. This variant also reflects RoHS compliance status.

Q: Can these parts be used in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes. Both receptacles are rated for continuous operation from -65°C to 105°C, supporting extended temperature range applications within this envelope.

Q: What is the significance of the UL94 V-0 flammability rating?

A: UL94 V-0 indicates the thermoplastic housing material meets the highest flame retardancy classification, ensuring the connector housing will not propagate flame and will self-extinguish when exposed to ignition sources.
