Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 63453-306 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Receptacle
• Number of positions: 6
• Pitch (mating): 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Row spacing (mating): 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening type: Push-pull
• Contact finish (mating): Gold
• Current rating: 2A
• Voltage rating: 200V
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 125°C
• Insulation material: Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate (PCT), Glass Filled
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

The substitute part 63453-306LF maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original 63453-306 across all specified parameters. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 63453-306LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 63453-306. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, ensuring functional interchangeability in board-to-board connector applications.

The primary distinction between these parts is regulatory compliance status. The 63453-306LF is RoHS compliant and REACH affected, whereas the 63453-306 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH unaffected. For new designs or systems subject to RoHS or REACH regulatory requirements, the 63453-306LF is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems or applications without regulatory constraints, either part may be used based on availability and supply chain considerations.

Both parts carry identical electrical ratings (2A, 200V), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and material certifications (UL94 V-0), confirming suitability for general purpose, industrial, and medical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 63453-306 and 63453-306LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), number of positions (6), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through hole), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). They are mechanically interchangeable in all board-to-board applications.

Q: Are the 63453-306 and 63453-306LF electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors carry identical electrical ratings of 2A at 200V, operate across the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C), and utilize the same contact materials and finishes. They are electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the 63453-306 and 63453-306LF?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 63453-306 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 63453-306LF is active and RoHS compliant. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Which part should I use for new designs?

A: The 63453-306LF should be used for new designs. It is the active product with current manufacturing support and RoHS compliance, making it suitable for systems subject to modern regulatory requirements.

Q: Can I use the 63453-306 in place of the 63453-306LF?

A: From an electrical and mechanical standpoint, yes. However, the 63453-306 is obsolete and may have limited availability. Selection should be based on supply chain requirements and regulatory compliance needs of the application.

Q: What packaging is available for these connectors?

A: The 63453-306 is supplied in standard packaging (not specified). The 63453-306LF is supplied in tube packaging.

Q: Are there any differences in contact finish or plating thickness?

A: No. Both parts feature identical gold plating on mating contacts (15.0µin / 0.38µm thickness) and tin plating on posts (60.0µin / 1.52µm thickness).

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

A: Both connectors carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints for storage or handling.
