Amphenol ICC 63453-016 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 63453-016 is a 16-position receptacle connector in the Minitek® 2.00mm series, designed for board-to-board applications with through-hole solder termination. This connector features a 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, gold-plated mating contacts, and operates across -55°C to 125°C. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for new designs and ongoing production support.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 63453-016 is based on maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

16-position receptacle configuration with female socket contacts
0.079" (2.00mm) pitch and row spacing for board-to-board mating
Through-hole solder termination with push-pull fastening
Gold-plated mating contacts for corrosion resistance
Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C
Phosphor bronze contact material

The primary direct substitute is the 63453-016LF from Amphenol ICC, which maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. The Samtec MMS series connectors (MMS-108-01-F-DV, MMS-108-01-FM-DV, MMS-108-01-H-DV, MMS-108-01-L-DV variants, MMS-108-01-LM-DV, and MMS-108-01-S-DV) provide cross-manufacturer alternatives with equivalent pitch, position count, and termination method. Variations in contact loading (all positions versus 15 positions loaded) and contact finish thickness are secondary parameters that do not affect basic substitutability for standard applications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 63453-016LF is the primary substitute for the obsolete 63453-016. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The 63453-016LF offers the advantage of active product status and RoHS compliance, making it suitable for new designs and applications requiring regulatory compliance.

For applications requiring cross-manufacturer alternatives, the Samtec MMS series connectors provide equivalent functionality. The MMS-108-01-F-DV, MMS-108-01-H-DV, MMS-108-01-L-DV-16, and MMS-108-01-S-DV variants all maintain the critical 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 16-position configuration, and through-hole solder termination. These parts carry ROHS3 compliance and active product status. Selection among Samtec variants depends on specific contact loading requirements and contact finish specifications.

Parts with 15 positions loaded (MMS-108-01-L-DV-01, MMS-108-01-L-DV-13, MMS-108-01-L-DV-16) are suitable only for applications where one position is intentionally left unloaded.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 63453-016LF directly replace the 63453-016 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 63453-016LF maintains identical pitch, position count, row spacing, mounting type, and termination method. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance. No design changes are required.

Q: What are the key differences between Amphenol ICC and Samtec substitutes?

A: Both maintain the 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch and 16-position receptacle configuration. Samtec MMS series connectors use Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation instead of PCT, and feature slightly different contact post lengths (0.115" versus 0.098"). Current ratings differ: Samtec parts are rated at 3.9A per contact versus 2A for the original part. These differences do not affect basic substitutability for standard board-to-board applications.

Q: Does contact finish thickness affect substitutability?

A: Contact finish thickness variations (ranging from 3.00µin to 30.0µin on mating surfaces) do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Selection should be based on application requirements for corrosion resistance and contact durability.

Q: Are parts with 15 positions loaded compatible with designs requiring all 16 positions?

A: No. Parts designated with 15 positions loaded (MMS-108-01-L-DV variants) have one position intentionally unloaded. These are suitable only for applications where one position is not used. For full 16-position functionality, select parts with all positions loaded.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 63453-016LF, MMS-108-01-H-DV, MMS-108-01-L-DV-16, MMS-108-01-LM-DV, and MMS-108-01-S-DV are supplied in tube packaging. Other variants have unspecified or non-standard packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with procurement specifications.
