Amphenol ICC 65846-002LF Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65846-002LF is a 30-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This component is part of the Mini-PV™ Basics+ series and serves as a housing for female socket contacts in free-hanging inline configurations. The part is currently active in production with full RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required due to inventory availability, packaging preferences, or supply chain considerations.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 65846-002LF are identified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters: connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (30), pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.100"/2.54mm), mounting type (free hanging inline), contact termination (crimp), color (black), polarizing key feature, and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C).

The identified substitutes are grouped as follows:

MFR Recommended Substitute: 69176-030LF (Amphenol ICC) - Identical electrical and mechanical parameters with alternative packaging (bulk vs. bag).

Parametric Equivalent: 0022552302 (Molex) - Meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters with equivalent performance characteristics across the specified operating range.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and meet current regulatory compliance requirements. The 65846-002LF and 69176-030LF are both Amphenol ICC components within the Mini-PV™ Basics+ series, differing only in packaging format (bag versus bulk). The 0022552302 from Molex is a parametric equivalent that satisfies all electrical and mechanical requirements while offering higher inventory availability (6272 pcs vs. 762 pcs for the primary part). Selection between these options should be based on packaging requirements, inventory needs, and supply chain preferences, as all parts are functionally equivalent for the specified application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 69176-030LF be used as a direct replacement for 65846-002LF?

A: Yes. Both parts are Amphenol ICC receptacle housings with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The difference is packaging: 65846-002LF is supplied in bag format while 69176-030LF is supplied in bulk format.

Q: Is the Molex 0022552302 compatible with applications designed for the Amphenol ICC 65846-002LF?

A: Yes. The 0022552302 meets all critical parameters including connector type, contact type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, color, polarizing key feature, and operating temperature range. The insulation material differs (polyester glass-filled vs. modified polyphenylene), but both materials are suitable for the specified operating environment.

Q: What is the significance of the packaging difference between bag and bulk formats?

A: Packaging format affects handling, storage, and quantity per shipment but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Bag packaging is typically used for smaller quantities or mixed orders, while bulk packaging is standard for high-volume procurement.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: All three parts are RoHS compliant. The 65846-002LF and 69176-030LF carry RoHS Compliant status, while the 0022552302 carries ROHS3 Compliant status. Both designations meet current regulatory requirements. The 69176-030LF is REACH Affected while the other two are REACH Unaffected, but this does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) mean?

A: MSL 1 indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and requires no special moisture control during storage or handling. This is the least restrictive moisture sensitivity classification.
