Amphenol ICC 65801-115 FFC/FPC Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65801-115 is a 15-position CIC (Clincher) connector receptacle with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for flat flexible cable (FFC) termination using IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) technology. This connector is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable alternatives essential for ongoing production support and design updates. The part features free-hanging in-line mounting, tin-plated copper nickel alloy contacts, and operates across -65°C to 105°C with a 500V voltage rating and 2A current capacity per contact.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 65801-115LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters that remain constant across both parts:

• Connector Type & Series: Both are CIC (Clincher) receptacles from the Amphenol ICC Clincher™ series
• Electrical Specifications: Identical 15-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, 500V voltage rating, and 2A current capacity
• Termination Technology: Both use IDC termination for flat flexible cable
• Mounting Configuration: Both feature free-hanging in-line mounting
• Environmental Ratings: Matching operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C) and UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Contact Specifications: Identical copper nickel alloy material with tin plating (100.0µin thickness)
• Mechanical Durability: Both rated for 100 mating cycles

The 65801-115LF represents an active product with enhanced features (Slide Lock, Zero Insertion Force, Solder Retention) and improved compliance status (RoHS Compliant, REACH Affected), while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the obsolete 65801-115.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 65801-115LF is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 65801-115 based on the following factors:

Product Status & Availability: The 65801-115 is classified as obsolete, whereas the 65801-115LF maintains active product status with documented inventory availability (978 pcs in stock versus 655 pcs for the obsolete part). This ensures long-term supply chain continuity and future procurement reliability.

Regulatory Compliance: The 65801-115LF is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements. The original 65801-115 is RoHS non-compliant, presenting potential compliance barriers for new designs or applications subject to these regulations.

Electrical & Mechanical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications (500V, 2A, 15-position, 0.100" pitch) and mechanical compatibility (IDC termination, free-hanging mounting, 100 mating cycles). The FFC/FCB thickness tolerance of the 65801-115LF (0.30mm, 0.33mm) encompasses the 0.33mm specification of the original part, ensuring mechanical fit with existing cable assemblies.

Enhanced Features: The 65801-115LF incorporates Slide Lock, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF), and Solder Retention features, providing improved assembly reliability and reduced insertion force requirements compared to the base 65801-115 design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 65801-115LF directly replace the 65801-115 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical electrical ratings (500V, 2A), mechanical configuration (15-position, 0.100" pitch, IDC termination), and operating temperature range (-65°C to 105°C). The 65801-115LF accommodates FFC/FCB thickness of 0.30mm and 0.33mm, covering the 0.33mm specification of the original part. Physical mounting and PCB footprint compatibility are maintained.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The 65801-115 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the 65801-115LF is supplied in tray packaging. Tray packaging provides improved component protection during storage and handling, reducing the risk of damage during logistics and assembly operations.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Yes. The 65801-115LF is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, meeting current environmental regulations. The 65801-115 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS or REACH requirements, the 65801-115LF is the required choice.

Q: What additional features does the 65801-115LF provide?

A: The 65801-115LF includes Slide Lock, Zero Insertion Force (ZIF), and Solder Retention features. These enhancements improve assembly reliability, reduce operator insertion force, and provide improved solder joint retention during thermal cycling and mechanical stress.

Q: Is the 65801-115LF suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The 65801-115LF maintains active product status with documented availability and regulatory compliance. It is the appropriate choice for new designs requiring a 15-position CIC receptacle with 0.100" pitch and IDC termination.

Q: What is the mating cycle rating for both connectors?

A: Both the 65801-115 and 65801-115LF are rated for 100 mating cycles, indicating equivalent mechanical durability and contact wear characteristics under normal operating conditions.
