Amphenol ICC 65863-207LF Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65863-207LF is an active rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting applications. This shrouded 50-position connector with 2.54mm pitch serves board-to-cable/wire interconnection requirements. The part is RoHS compliant and maintains unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with application requirements, enabling component sourcing flexibility while maintaining design integrity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 65863-207LF is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male pin
• Position count: 50 positions
• Row configuration: 2 rows
• Mating pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 wall
• Mounting: Through hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact shape: Square
• RoHS compliance: Required

The 3M N3433-6202RB meets all critical substitution criteria. Both parts maintain identical position counts, pitch specifications, shrouding configuration, and mounting methodology. Both are RoHS compliant with MSL 1 rating. Variations in contact material composition, insulation material formulation, and contact finish thickness do not preclude functional equivalence within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Amphenol ICC 65863-207LF and 3M N3433-6202RB maintain active product status with RoHS compliance and identical MSL 1 ratings. Selection between these parts is based on availability, packaging format, and supply chain requirements rather than functional capability differences.

The Amphenol ICC 65863-207LF is supplied in tray packaging with 908 units in current inventory. The 3M N3433-6202RB is supplied in bulk packaging with 1138 units in current inventory. Both parts satisfy UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain equivalent electrical and mechanical performance within the specified parameter set.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M N3433-6202RB directly replace the Amphenol ICC 65863-207LF in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical mating pitch (0.100"/2.54mm), position count (50), row configuration (2 rows), shrouding (4 wall), and mounting methodology (through hole solder). Contact geometry and electrical interface specifications are equivalent.

Q: What are the differences in contact material between these parts?

A: The Amphenol ICC 65863-207LF uses phosphor bronze contacts, while the 3M N3433-6202RB uses copper alloy contacts. Both materials provide equivalent conductivity and mechanical performance within the specified parameter set.

Q: How do the insulation materials differ?

A: The Amphenol ICC 65863-207LF uses thermoplastic insulation. The 3M N3433-6202RB uses polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate (PCT) with polyester and glass filler. Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating and maintain equivalent electrical insulation properties.

Q: Are packaging differences significant for component selection?

A: The Amphenol ICC 65863-207LF is supplied in tray packaging; the 3M N3433-6202RB is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format affects handling, storage, and assembly line integration but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do both parts maintain the same moisture sensitivity level?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Amphenol ICC 65863-207LF and 3M N3433-6202RB are RoHS compliant with identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.
