Amphenol ICC 65823-463 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65823-463 is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole, right-angle board-to-cable/wire applications. This 24-position, 2-row shrouded header operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features solder termination with latch lock/eject hook fastening. The connector is manufactured with phosphor bronze alloy contacts finished in gold and is housed in a blue polyester glass-filled insulation body rated UL94 V-0. With 817 units in current stock and active product status, this connector serves standard interconnect applications requiring reliable mechanical and electrical performance. Equivalent substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, inventory alternatives, and sourcing options when the primary part becomes unavailable or when design specifications permit functional alternatives.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Amphenol ICC 65823-463 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: Header type with male pin contacts, 24 positions arranged in 2 rows
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) row spacing
• Mounting Architecture: Through-hole, right-angle orientation with shrouded 4-wall design
• Termination Method: Solder termination with latch lock/eject hook fastening
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 material rating
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 5499141-5 meets all critical substitution criteria. Both connectors share identical functional geometry, pitch specifications, mounting configuration, and environmental ratings. Variations in contact material (phosphor bronze alloy versus brass), contact finish composition (gold versus gold-palladium with tin post finish), insulation color (blue versus black), and operating temperature specification do not preclude functional substitution when design requirements permit these material and performance variations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 65823-463 and TE Connectivity 5499141-5 are active products with established manufacturing support and current inventory availability. Selection between these parts is based on compliance and certification requirements specific to the application.

The TE Connectivity 5499141-5 is ROHS3 compliant and provides specified operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C), current rating (1A per contact), and voltage rating (250VAC). This part is suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance and where electrical performance specifications are documented.

The Amphenol ICC 65823-463 is RoHS non-compliant and does not provide operating temperature, current, or voltage specifications in the available data. This part is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not required and where design specifications do not mandate explicit electrical performance ratings.

Both connectors share identical pitch, position count, mounting configuration, shrouding design, and flammability rating. The physical dimension variations (contact length and insulation height) are minor and typically do not affect board-level compatibility in standard applications. Contact shape difference (circular versus square) and contact material variation (phosphor bronze alloy versus brass) represent material-level distinctions that do not alter functional substitution capability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 5499141-5 directly replace the Amphenol ICC 65823-463 on existing PCB designs?

A: Yes, for applications where RoHS compliance is not required. Both connectors share identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), position count (24), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and shrouding design (4-wall). Minor dimensional variations in contact length and insulation height do not preclude mechanical compatibility on standard board layouts. Verify that the application does not require the specific electrical performance ratings provided only by the TE Connectivity part.

Q: What is the significance of the contact shape difference (circular versus square)?

A: Contact shape (circular in the Amphenol part, square in the TE Connectivity part) affects contact engagement geometry and mating force characteristics. Both shapes are functionally valid for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. The choice between them depends on the mating connector design. Verify that the mating connector is compatible with the substitute part's contact geometry.

Q: Does the contact material difference (phosphor bronze alloy versus brass) affect substitution eligibility?

A: Contact material affects electrical conductivity, spring characteristics, and corrosion resistance. Both phosphor bronze alloy and brass are standard materials for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch connectors. The material difference does not preclude functional substitution when design specifications do not mandate a specific material composition. For applications requiring specific electrical or environmental performance, verify material compatibility with application requirements.

Q: Why does the TE Connectivity part specify operating temperature, current, and voltage ratings while the Amphenol part does not?

A: The availability of electrical performance specifications depends on manufacturer data sheet completeness and application documentation. The TE Connectivity 5499141-5 provides explicit ratings (-65°C ~ 105°C operating temperature, 1A per contact, 250VAC voltage). The Amphenol ICC 65823-463 does not provide these specifications in the available data. For applications requiring documented electrical performance, the TE Connectivity part provides explicit specification compliance.

Q: Is the RoHS compliance difference a barrier to substitution?

A: RoHS compliance is a regulatory and supply chain requirement, not a functional performance criterion. The Amphenol ICC 65823-463 is RoHS non-compliant; the TE Connectivity 5499141-5 is ROHS3 compliant. If the application or end-market requires RoHS compliance, the TE Connectivity part is the appropriate selection. If RoHS compliance is not required, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: What is the impact of the insulation color difference (blue versus black)?

A: Insulation color is a visual identification feature and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. The color difference reflects manufacturer design standards and does not impact substitution eligibility. Both colors indicate standard polyester or equivalent glass-filled insulation materials rated UL94 V-0.

Q: Are there any PCB layout considerations when substituting between these parts?

A: Both connectors use identical pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm) and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), so PCB footprints are compatible. Minor variations in contact length (0.230" versus 0.240") and insulation height (0.305" versus 0.315") are within standard manufacturing tolerances and do not require PCB redesign. Verify that the mating connector is compatible with the substitute part's physical dimensions and contact geometry.
