Amphenol ICC 65823-069 Rectangular Connector Header — Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65823-069 is a through-hole, right-angle rectangular connector header with 20 positions arranged in 2 rows at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement. The part features shrouded 4-wall construction, solder termination, and latch lock/eject fastening suitable for board-to-cable/wire applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 65823-069 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions and rows (20 positions, 2 rows)
• Pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Shrouding design (Shrouded construction)
• Contact finish specification (Gold plating)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Two substitute categories are identified:

Direct Equivalent: 65823-069LF (Amphenol ICC) — identical electrical and mechanical specifications with active product status and RoHS compliance.

Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives: N3428-1002RB and N3428-1003RB (3M) — functionally equivalent headers with compatible pitch, position count, and mounting, though with minor variations in shrouding design (3-wall vs. 4-wall), contact geometry (square vs. circular), and post length specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement: The 65823-069LF is the primary substitute for the obsolete 65823-069. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 65823-069LF maintains active product status and achieves RoHS compliance, making it suitable for new designs and ongoing production support.

For Cross-Manufacturer Substitution: The 3M N3428-1002RB and N3428-1003RB headers are functionally compatible alternatives. Both parts meet the core substitution criteria: 20-position, 2-row configuration at 0.100" pitch with through-hole right-angle mounting and solder termination. Key differences include:

• Shrouding design: 3-wall (3M) versus 4-wall (Amphenol)
• Contact geometry: Square (3M) versus circular (Amphenol)
• Contact material: Copper alloy (3M) versus phosphor bronze alloy (Amphenol)
• Post length: N3428-1002RB features 0.112" post length; N3428-1003RB features 0.155" post length

Both 3M alternatives carry active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and specified operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 105°C) with 1.75A current rating. Selection between N3428-1002RB and N3428-1003RB depends on required post length for PCB mounting depth.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 65823-069LF be used as a direct drop-in replacement for the 65823-069?

A: Yes. The 65823-069LF is electrically and mechanically identical to the 65823-069, with the same pitch, position count, shrouding configuration, and contact specifications. The primary advantage is active product status and RoHS compliance.

Q: What are the key differences between the Amphenol and 3M alternatives?

A: The 3M N3428-1002RB and N3428-1003RB differ in shrouding design (3-wall vs. 4-wall), contact shape (square vs. circular), contact material (copper alloy vs. phosphor bronze), and post length. These differences do not affect mating compatibility but may impact mechanical fit and thermal performance in specific applications.

Q: How do I choose between N3428-1002RB and N3428-1003RB?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent. The selection depends on required post length: N3428-1002RB provides 0.112" post length, while N3428-1003RB provides 0.155" post length. Choose based on PCB thickness and mounting depth requirements.

Q: Are the 3M alternatives compatible with existing connector housings designed for the 65823-069?

A: Mating compatibility is maintained due to identical pitch and position count. However, the 3-wall shrouding design of the 3M parts differs from the 4-wall design of the Amphenol part. Physical fit with existing mated connectors should be verified before production implementation.

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

A: The 65823-069 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 65823-069LF and 3M alternatives are RoHS compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, the compliant alternatives are mandatory.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical performance differences?

A: The 3M alternatives specify operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C) and current rating (1.75A), while the original 65823-069 does not provide these specifications. For applications requiring defined thermal or current performance, the 3M parts offer documented specifications.
