Amphenol ICC 65846-008LF Rectangular Connector Housing - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65846-008LF is an 18-position rectangular connector housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This receptacle housing features a female socket contact configuration with a polarizing key and is constructed from modified polyphenylene insulation material. The part is actively manufactured and widely used in applications requiring reliable inline connector solutions with crimp termination.

Substitute parts are necessary when the original part number becomes unavailable, when bulk packaging is preferred over bag packaging, or when alternative manufacturer options are required to meet supply chain requirements while maintaining full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 65846-008LF are qualified based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching. All substitute parts must maintain identical specifications for connector type (receptacle), contact type (female socket), number of positions (18), pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row configuration (2 rows with 0.100" spacing), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination method (crimp), color (black), polarizing key feature, and operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C).

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

MFR Recommended Substitute: 69176-018LF (Amphenol ICC) - Same manufacturer, identical electrical and mechanical specifications, differs only in packaging format (bulk versus bag).

Parametric Equivalent: 0022552182 (Molex) - Alternative manufacturer part meeting all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, enabling cross-manufacturer substitution while maintaining full compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts maintain active product status and meet applicable compliance requirements. The 65846-008LF and 69176-018LF are both Amphenol ICC products with identical electrical and mechanical specifications; selection between them depends on packaging requirements (bag versus bulk). The 0022552182 (Molex) provides a parametric equivalent option from an alternative manufacturer, suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable. The Molex part carries ROHS3 compliance, representing a more recent regulatory standard compared to the RoHS compliance of the Amphenol ICC parts. All parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited) and operate across the identical temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 69176-018LF be used as a direct replacement for 65846-008LF?

A: Yes. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The only difference is packaging format: 65846-008LF is supplied in bag packaging while 69176-018LF is supplied in bulk packaging. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is complete.

Q: Is the Molex 0022552182 fully compatible with the Amphenol ICC 65846-008LF?

A: Yes. The 0022552182 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters: 18-position receptacle housing, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration, female socket contacts, crimp termination, polarizing key, black color, and -40°C to 105°C operating temperature. The insulation material differs (polyester glass-filled versus modified polyphenylene), but this does not affect functional compatibility for standard applications.

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

A: Packaging format affects handling, storage, and ordering quantities but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. Bag packaging (65846-008LF) is typically used for smaller quantity orders, while bulk packaging (69176-018LF and 0022552182) is preferred for high-volume production runs.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: All parts are RoHS compliant. The Molex 0022552182 carries ROHS3 certification, representing compliance with the most recent regulatory standard. All parts are MSL 1 rated and REACH-affected or unaffected as specified by manufacturer. ECCN classification is EAR99 for all parts.

Q: Do these housings include contacts?

A: No. All three part numbers are housings only. Contacts must be ordered separately and are not included with these parts.
