Amphenol ICC 63453-308 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 63453-308 is an 8-position receptacle connector from the Minitek® 2.00mm series, designed for board-to-board applications. This connector features a 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch with through-hole solder termination and push-pull fastening. The part is currently listed as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications requiring equivalent rectangular connector functionality in general purpose, industrial, and medical environments.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 63453-308 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility within the Minitek® 2.00mm connector series. The substitute part 63453-308LF maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters: 8-position receptacle configuration, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 2-row layout with matching row spacing, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, 2A current rating, 200V voltage rating, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Both parts share the same contact geometry, material composition (phosphor bronze with gold mating finish), insulation material (PCT glass-filled), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification, with 63453-308LF representing the active production variant.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 63453-308LF serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 63453-308. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all functional parameters. The 63453-308LF is the active production part from Amphenol ICC and carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original 63453-308 is non-compliant. For new designs and ongoing production requiring this connector type, the 63453-308LF is the appropriate selection. The substitute maintains full compatibility with existing mating connectors and PCB layouts designed for the 63453-308, as all dimensional and electrical specifications remain unchanged.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 63453-308 and 63453-308LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications including pitch (0.079"), row spacing (0.079"), insulation height (0.177"), contact length (0.098"), and mounting configuration (through-hole). They are directly interchangeable on PCBs designed for either part number.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 63453-308 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant, while the 63453-308LF is an active production part with RoHS compliance. All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical.

Q: Can I use the 63453-308LF in applications originally designed for the 63453-308?

A: Yes. The 63453-308LF is fully compatible with existing designs. It maintains the same electrical ratings (2A, 200V), operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C), contact configuration, and physical dimensions.

Q: What does the "LF" suffix indicate?

A: The "LF" suffix indicates lead-free termination and RoHS compliance. This variant meets current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 63453-308 packaging is not specified, while the 63453-308LF is supplied in tube packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What is the current inventory status?

A: The 63453-308 has 1,139 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The 63453-308LF has 931 pieces in stock as new original inventory. Availability may vary; consult current inventory databases for real-time stock levels.
