TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 6-87456-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 6-87456-5 is a 64-position rectangular connector receptacle housing designed for 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch applications. This component functions as a receptacle housing for female socket contacts in dual-row configurations and is classified as an active product. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in applications where the core functional requirements remain constant.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 6-87456-5 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical and Mechanical Compatibility Criteria:

Connector type (Receptacle)
Contact type (Female Socket)
Number of positions (64)
Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Number of rows (2)
Row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
Mounting configuration (Free Hanging / In-Line)
Contact termination method (Crimp)
Color (Black)
Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 1)

All identified substitute parts meet these core parameters. Variations in insulation material composition, operating temperature ranges, and regulatory compliance certifications do not preclude substitution when the mechanical and electrical interface requirements are identical.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 6-87456-5 (Primary Part)

The TE Connectivity 6-87456-5 remains the primary specification when the full operating temperature range of -65°C to 105°C is required. This part is RoHS Compliant and carries an active product status with established supply availability.

Molex 0901430064 (Substitute)

The Molex 0901430064 provides parametric equivalence with ROHS3 Compliant certification. The operating temperature range is -55°C to 105°C, which is suitable for applications where the lower temperature limit does not extend below -55°C. This part is active and maintains equivalent mechanical and electrical interface specifications.

Amphenol ICC (FCI) 65043-005LF (Substitute)

The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 65043-005LF provides parametric equivalence with RoHS Compliant status and REACH Affected designation. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C, suitable for applications where the lower temperature limit does not extend below -40°C. This part is active and maintains equivalent mechanical and electrical interface specifications.

Selection between substitute parts depends on application-specific temperature requirements and regulatory compliance obligations. All three parts share identical mechanical and electrical interface parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0901430064 replace the TE Connectivity 6-87456-5 in all applications?

A: The Molex 0901430064 provides mechanical and electrical interface equivalence. However, the operating temperature range differs: Molex operates from -55°C to 105°C versus TE Connectivity's -65°C to 105°C. Substitution is valid only when the application does not require operation below -55°C.

Q: What is the primary difference between the three substitute options?

A: All three parts share identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, and contact termination specifications. The differences are: insulation material composition, operating temperature ranges, and regulatory certifications (RoHS versus ROHS3, REACH status).

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts (TE Connectivity 6-87456-5, Molex 0901430064, and Amphenol ICC (FCI) 65043-005LF) are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Q: What does MSL 1 (Unlimited) mean for these parts?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that these connector housings have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture control storage conditions during handling and storage.

Q: Can I use the Amphenol ICC (FCI) 65043-005LF if my application operates at -50°C?

A: No. The Amphenol ICC (FCI) 65043-005LF has a minimum operating temperature of -40°C. Applications requiring operation at -50°C require either the TE Connectivity 6-87456-5 (-65°C minimum) or the Molex 0901430064 (-55°C minimum).

Q: Are there any differences in the mechanical footprint or mounting interface?

A: No. All three parts share identical specifications for pitch (0.100" / 2.54mm), row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm), number of rows (2), number of positions (64), and mounting type (Free Hanging / In-Line). Mechanical footprint and mounting interface are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: Both certifications indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents the current version of the directive. Both statuses indicate the parts meet hazardous substance restrictions.
