Amphenol ICC 65863-266 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 65863-266 is a shrouded rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting in board-to-cable/wire applications. This 14-position, 2-row header with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch operates in the Quickie™ series and features solder termination with latch lock/eject hooks for secure mating. The part is currently obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 65863-266 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (14) and rows (2)
• Mating pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Termination type (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock/Eject Hooks)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The identified substitutes maintain these core parameters while differing in secondary attributes such as product status, RoHS compliance, packaging format, and contact finish specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

65863-266LF (Direct Amphenol ICC Substitute)

The 65863-266LF is the primary equivalent for the obsolete 65863-266. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC within the Quickie™ series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 65863-266LF differs only in product status (Active vs. Obsolete), RoHS compliance (Compliant vs. non-compliant), packaging format (Tray vs. unspecified), and insulation color (Black vs. Blue). For applications requiring RoHS compliance or where active product support is necessary, the 65863-266LF is the direct replacement.

499922-2 (TE Connectivity AMP-Latch Alternative)

The 499922-2 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors is a cross-manufacturer substitute that maintains all critical functional parameters. This part operates within the AMP-Latch series and provides documented electrical ratings (1A at 250VAC) and operating temperature range (-65°C ~ 105°C) not specified in the original part. Minor dimensional variations exist in contact length (0.240" vs. 0.230" mating; 0.110" vs. 0.105" post) and insulation height (0.549" vs. 0.640"), which may require PCB layout verification. The 499922-2 is suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable and documented electrical performance is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 65863-266LF be used as a direct replacement for the 65863-266?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical connector type, contact configuration, pitch, row spacing, shrouding, mounting method, termination, and fastening specifications. The 65863-266LF is the active production equivalent and is suitable for direct substitution.

Q: What are the key differences between the 65863-266LF and 499922-2?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent in core connector specifications. The 499922-2 differs in manufacturer (TE Connectivity vs. Amphenol ICC), series designation (AMP-Latch vs. Quickie™), contact finish composition, and provides documented electrical ratings and operating temperature range. Minor dimensional variations exist in contact length and insulation height.

Q: Does the insulation color difference between 65863-266 (Blue) and 65863-266LF (Black) affect compatibility?

A: No. Insulation color is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both parts are functionally interchangeable.

Q: Is the 499922-2 suitable for applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: The 499922-2 RoHS status is listed as "Not applicable," indicating it does not fall under RoHS regulatory scope. For applications with mandatory RoHS compliance requirements, the 65863-266LF (RoHS Compliant) is the appropriate choice.

Q: What packaging formats are available for these substitutes?

A: The 65863-266LF and 499922-2 are both supplied in Tray packaging. The original 65863-266 packaging format is not specified in available documentation.

Q: Are there dimensional considerations when substituting the 499922-2?

A: Yes. The 499922-2 has slightly longer mating contact length (0.240" vs. 0.230"), longer post length (0.110" vs. 0.105"), and reduced insulation height (0.549" vs. 0.640"). PCB footprint and mating cavity depth should be verified before implementation.
