Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 63453-008 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Number of positions: 8
• Pitch - mating: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Row spacing - mating: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Termination: Solder
• Contact finish - mating: Gold
• Current rating: 2A
• Voltage rating: 200V
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation material: Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate (PCT), Glass Filled

The substitute part 63453-008LF maintains all electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the main part, with the primary distinction being product status and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 63453-008LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 63453-008. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters including connector geometry, contact configuration, current and voltage ratings, and operating temperature range.

The primary distinctions between the two parts are:

• Product Status: The 63453-008 is obsolete, while the 63453-008LF is active and currently available.
• RoHS Compliance: The 63453-008LF is RoHS compliant, whereas the 63453-008 is non-compliant.
• REACH Status: The 63453-008LF is REACH affected, while the 63453-008 is REACH unaffected.

For new designs or ongoing procurement, the 63453-008LF is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and regulatory compliance alignment with current environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 63453-008 and 63453-008LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector geometry, pitch, row spacing, mounting type, and contact configuration. They are mechanically interchangeable in board-to-board applications.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical current ratings (2A), voltage ratings (200V), operating temperature ranges (-55°C ~ 125°C), and contact materials (phosphor bronze with gold mating finish).

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in the part number?

A: The "LF" suffix indicates lead-free construction and RoHS compliance. The 63453-008LF meets RoHS requirements, while the 63453-008 does not.

Q: Can the 63453-008 be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: No. The 63453-008 is RoHS non-compliant. Applications requiring RoHS compliance must use the 63453-008LF.

Q: What packaging is available for the 63453-008LF?

A: The 63453-008LF is supplied in tube packaging.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish specifications?

A: No. Both parts have identical contact finish specifications: gold mating finish at 8.00µin (0.203µm) thickness and tin post finish at 60.0µin (1.52µm) thickness.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts have a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of 1, indicating unlimited shelf life without special storage requirements.
