Amphenol ICC 63453-036 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 63453-036 is a 36-position receptacle connector from the Minitek® 2.00mm series, designed for board-to-board applications with through-hole solder termination. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts and tin-plated posts, rated for 2A at 200V operation across the -55°C to 125°C temperature range. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 63453-036 is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters: connector type (receptacle), number of positions (36), mating pitch (0.079"/2.00mm), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.079"/2.00mm), mounting type (through hole), termination method (solder), fastening type (push-pull), and contact type (female socket). Operating temperature range, current rating, voltage rating, and flammability rating establish the electrical and environmental performance envelope.

The identified substitute parts maintain these critical mechanical and electrical specifications, ensuring functional compatibility in board-to-board applications. Variations in contact finish composition, insulation material formulation, and compliance certifications are secondary considerations that do not affect core substitutability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 63453-036LF is the direct equivalent from Amphenol ICC, maintaining identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status. This part is RoHS compliant, addressing regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement cycles. The 63453-036LF is the preferred selection for applications requiring continuity with the original Minitek® 2.00mm series architecture.

The 833-13-036-10-002000 from Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. provides an alternative from a different manufacturer within the same connector category. This part maintains core mechanical compatibility and exceeds the current rating specification at 3A versus 2A. The contact post length is 0.111" (2.82mm) compared to 0.098" (2.50mm) on the original part, and the insulation height is 0.179" (4.55mm) versus 0.177" (4.50mm). These dimensional variations require verification against specific PCB layout and mating connector specifications before implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 63453-036LF be used as a direct replacement for the 63453-036?

A: Yes. The 63453-036LF maintains identical connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting method, termination, fastening type, contact type, operating temperature range, current rating, and voltage rating. The primary difference is product status (active versus obsolete) and RoHS compliance status.

Q: What are the key differences between the Amphenol ICC 63453-036LF and the Mill-Max 833-13-036-10-002000?

A: Both parts share the same mechanical footprint (36 positions, 0.079" pitch, 2 rows, 0.079" row spacing) and operating temperature range. The Mill-Max part has a higher current rating (3A versus 2A), different contact post length (0.111" versus 0.098"), and slightly different insulation height (0.179" versus 0.177"). Contact finish on the post differs: tin on the Amphenol part versus gold on the Mill-Max part.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitute parts?

A: The 63453-036 and 63453-036LF are both from Amphenol ICC with different packaging: the original is unspecified, while the 63453-036LF is supplied in tube packaging. The Mill-Max 833-13-036-10-002000 is supplied in bulk packaging.

Q: Which substitute part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection depends on design requirements and compliance mandates. For RoHS-compliant applications requiring Minitek® 2.00mm series continuity, the 63453-036LF is the appropriate choice. For applications where higher current capacity is beneficial and dimensional variations are acceptable, the Mill-Max 833-13-036-10-002000 provides an alternative. Verify contact post length and insulation height compatibility with mating connector specifications and PCB layout constraints.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to these parts?

A: All three parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The 63453-036LF is RoHS compliant, while the 63453-036 and 833-13-036-10-002000 are RoHS non-compliant. REACH status differs: the 63453-036LF is REACH affected, while the original and Mill-Max part are REACH unaffected.
