Amphenol ICC 65863-085 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65863-085 is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This vertical 40-position connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch with shrouded 4-wall construction and latch lock/eject hook fastening. The connector features male pins with gold or gold GXT™ mating contact finish and phosphor bronze contact material. Finding equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to address inventory availability, compliance requirements, and manufacturing lead times while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 65863-085 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 40 positions in 2 rows
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Shrouding & Fastening: Shrouded 4-wall construction with latch lock/eject hooks
• Contact Material & Finish: Phosphor bronze with gold or gold GXT™ mating finish
• Insulation Material: Thermoplastic construction
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating

Two substitute parts meet these criteria with documented compatibility:

1. 65863-085LF (Amphenol ICC) - Direct manufacturer variant with identical mechanical and electrical specifications
2. 5499206-9 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) - Cross-manufacturer equivalent with compatible dimensional and functional parameters

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

65863-085LF is the primary direct substitute for 65863-085. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC within the Quickie™ series and maintain identical mechanical dimensions and contact specifications. The 65863-085LF offers RoHS compliance and REACH affected status, addressing regulatory requirements where applicable. The insulation color differs (black versus blue), but this is a cosmetic distinction without functional impact. Post contact finish is specified as tin with 100.0µin thickness on the 65863-085LF, providing enhanced corrosion resistance compared to the unspecified post finish on the original part.

5499206-9 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors is a cross-manufacturer equivalent suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status. This part operates within -65°C to 105°C temperature range with 1A current rating and 250VAC voltage rating. Contact length specifications differ slightly (0.240" mating and 0.110" post versus 0.230" and 0.105" respectively), and insulation height is reduced to 0.549" compared to 0.640". The 5499206-9 includes a mounting flange feature and long-style latch hooks. These dimensional variations require PCB footprint compatibility assessment before implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 65863-085LF be used as a direct replacement for 65863-085?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, mounting configuration, and contact specifications. The primary differences are RoHS compliance status and insulation color, neither of which affects electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: What are the key differences between 65863-085 and 5499206-9?

A: Both parts maintain the same 40-position, 2-row configuration at 0.100" pitch with shrouded 4-wall construction. Differences include: contact length (0.230" versus 0.240" mating), insulation height (0.640" versus 0.549"), manufacturer (Amphenol ICC versus TE Connectivity), and series designation (Quickie™ versus AMP-Latch). The 5499206-9 includes a mounting flange and long-style latch hooks. PCB footprint compatibility must be confirmed before substitution.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for RoHS-compliant applications?

A: Both 65863-085LF and 5499206-9 are RoHS compliant. The 65863-085LF maintains closer dimensional alignment with the original 65863-085, while 5499206-9 offers additional operational specifications including temperature range (-65°C to 105°C), current rating (1A), and voltage rating (250VAC).

Q: Are there packaging or inventory considerations for these substitutes?

A: All three parts are supplied in tray packaging. Current inventory levels are: 65863-085 (1150 pcs), 65863-085LF (921 pcs), and 5499206-9 (62598 pcs). The 5499206-9 offers significantly higher stock availability.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish specifications?

A: The 65863-085 specifies gold or gold GXT™ mating finish at 30.0µin thickness with unspecified post finish. The 65863-085LF and 5499206-9 both specify tin post finish at 100.0µin thickness, providing enhanced corrosion resistance. Mating finish specifications remain consistent across all three parts at 30.0µin gold or equivalent.
