Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 36-6823-90C

Part Overview

The Aries Electronics 36-6823-90C is a 36-position DIP socket designed for IC and transistor applications. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts, through-hole right-angle horizontal mounting, and a 0.6" row spacing configuration. The part is currently active in production with 723 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in applications where the primary part is unavailable or when packaging requirements differ.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 36-6823-90C is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Position count and configuration: 36 positions in 2 x 18 arrangement
• Row spacing: 0.6" (15.24mm)
• Mating pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mating contact finish: Gold plating
• Mating contact material: Beryllium Copper
• Mounting configuration: Through hole, right angle, horizontal orientation
• Current rating: 3 A minimum

The substitute part 299-93-636-10-002000 (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.) meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Packaging differs (tube versus bulk), and minor variations exist in post termination specifications and housing material composition. These differences do not affect functional interchangeability in standard DIP socket applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both parts are active products with unlimited moisture sensitivity tolerance and identical export classification. The 36-6823-90C (Aries Electronics) carries RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 299-93-636-10-002000 (Mill-Max) is RoHS non-compliant and does not specify a flammability rating.

Selection between these parts depends on regulatory requirements. Applications requiring RoHS3 compliance and documented flammability certification must use the 36-6823-90C. Applications without these constraints may use either part. The Mill-Max substitute offers a wider operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C versus -55°C to 105°C) and is available in tube packaging rather than bulk.

Minor dimensional differences exist in termination post length (0.140" versus 0.126") and post finish composition (tin versus tin-lead). These variations are within acceptable tolerances for standard PCB solder joint formation and do not affect electrical performance in typical DIP socket applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 299-93-636-10-002000 be used as a direct replacement for the 36-6823-90C?

A: Yes, for applications without RoHS3 or UL94 V-0 compliance requirements. Both parts share identical position count, row spacing, mating pitch, contact finish, and current rating. Verify that your application does not mandate RoHS3 compliance or specific flammability certification before substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the different termination post lengths?

A: The 36-6823-90C has 0.140" post length while the 299-93-636-10-002000 has 0.126" post length. Both lengths are suitable for standard PCB thicknesses and solder joint formation. Confirm your PCB thickness and solder process parameters if post length is a critical design consideration.

Q: Does the tin-lead post finish on the Mill-Max part affect compatibility?

A: No. Both tin and tin-lead finishes are standard for DIP socket post termination and produce equivalent solder joint reliability. The difference reflects manufacturing process variation between suppliers and does not impact functional interchangeability.

Q: Why does the Mill-Max part have a higher maximum operating temperature?

A: The 299-93-636-10-002000 is rated to 125°C while the 36-6823-90C is rated to 105°C. This reflects different housing material compositions and thermal design margins established by each manufacturer. For applications operating above 105°C, the Mill-Max part provides additional thermal headroom.

Q: What packaging difference exists between these parts?

A: The 36-6823-90C is supplied in bulk packaging with 723 units in stock. The 299-93-636-10-002000 is supplied in tube packaging with 951 units in stock. Packaging selection depends on assembly process requirements and inventory management practices.

Q: Are both parts suitable for automated assembly?

A: Both parts feature closed frame design and standard DIP socket configuration compatible with automated insertion equipment. Tube packaging (Mill-Max) may require different feeder setup compared to bulk packaging (Aries). Consult your assembly equipment specifications for packaging compatibility.
