Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 8656353065 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Contact type: Female socket
• Wire gauge range: 20-24 AWG
• Termination method: Crimp
• Contact material: Phosphor bronze
• Contact finish specification: Gold or Gold, GXT™
• Contact finish thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Contact form: Stamped
• Series family: 8656
• Termination finish: Tin
• Manufacturer: Amphenol ICC (FCI)

The substitute part 8656353065LF meets all electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. The primary distinction is the addition of insulation support and RoHS compliance status in the substitute variant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 8656353065LF is a direct electrical and mechanical substitute for the 8656353065. Both parts share identical contact specifications, wire gauge ratings, termination methods, and material compositions.

Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory and compliance requirements:

• 8656353065: Use when RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable or required by design specification.
• 8656353065LF: Use when RoHS compliance is mandated. This variant includes insulation support and REACH compliance status, making it suitable for applications subject to environmental and regulatory restrictions.

Both parts maintain equivalent performance in D-Sub connector assemblies and are suitable for signal-level applications with 20-24 AWG wire terminations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 8656353065LF replace 8656353065 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 8656353065LF is electrically and mechanically equivalent. The primary differences are RoHS compliance and the addition of insulation support in the LF variant. Designs currently using the non-compliant version can transition to the LF variant without modification to connector assembly or wire termination procedures.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free and RoHS-compliant composition. This variant meets environmental regulations applicable to electronic components in regulated markets.

Q: Are the contact finish specifications identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature gold or gold GXT™ plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness with tin termination finish. Contact material, form, and crimp termination specifications are identical.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these contacts?

A: Both parts support 20-24 AWG wire gauges for crimp termination applications.

Q: Does the insulation support feature in the LF variant affect mechanical compatibility?

A: No. The insulation support is an additional feature that enhances contact retention and does not affect compatibility with standard D-Sub connector housings or assembly procedures.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs, the 8656353065LF is recommended due to RoHS compliance and broader regulatory acceptance. Existing designs using the 8656353065 can continue with that part number or transition to the LF variant as supply or compliance requirements dictate.
