Amphenol ICC 63453-318 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 63453-318 is an 18-position receptacle connector from 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 listed as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications requiring compatible 18-position rectangular connectors with matching electrical and mechanical specifications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 63453-318 is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters: 18-position count, 0.079" (2.00mm) mating pitch, 2-row configuration, through-hole mounting, solder termination, push-pull fastening, and gold-plated mating contacts. All identified substitutes maintain these critical specifications. Secondary parameters including current rating, voltage rating, operating temperature range, and flammability certification are evaluated to determine functional equivalence and application suitability. Variations in contact finish thickness, insulation material composition, and contact geometry are documented but do not disqualify substitution when primary electrical and mechanical parameters align.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

63453-318LF (Amphenol ICC): Direct manufacturer upgrade from the obsolete 63453-318. Maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications with active product status and RoHS compliance. Recommended as the primary substitute for direct replacement in new designs and production continuity.

150218-6002-RB (3M): Functionally compatible 18-position rectangular connector with matching pitch, row configuration, and through-hole solder termination. Operates at reduced maximum current (1A versus 2A) and lower maximum temperature (105°C versus 125°C). Suitable for applications within these reduced parameter limits. Offers higher voltage rating (500VDC) and RoHS3 compliance.

833-13-018-10-002000 (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.): Meets all primary mechanical and electrical requirements with 18 positions, 0.079" pitch, and push-pull fastening. Provides higher current capacity (3A) and maintains -55°C to 125°C operating range. Voltage rating not specified. RoHS non-compliant status matches the original part. Contact geometry differs (circular versus square) and contact material composition varies.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 63453-318LF be used as a direct replacement for 63453-318?

A: Yes. The 63453-318LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including 18 positions, 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. The primary difference is active product status and RoHS compliance of the LF variant.

Q: What are the key differences between the 3M 150218-6002-RB and the original 63453-318?

A: The 150218-6002-RB maintains mechanical compatibility (18 positions, 0.079" pitch, through-hole mounting) but operates at reduced current capacity (1A versus 2A) and lower maximum temperature (105°C versus 125°C). It provides higher voltage rating (500VDC) and RoHS3 compliance.

Q: Is the Mill-Max 833-13-018-10-002000 suitable for high-current applications?

A: The 833-13-018-10-002000 supports 3A current rating, exceeding the original 63453-318 specification of 2A. However, contact geometry differs (circular contacts versus square), and voltage rating is not specified. Application suitability depends on specific circuit requirements.

Q: What packaging options are available for these substitutes?

A: The 63453-318LF is supplied in tube packaging. Both the 3M 150218-6002-RB and Mill-Max 833-13-018-10-002000 are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection may affect procurement and handling procedures.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: The 63453-318LF is RoHS compliant, and the 3M 150218-6002-RB is ROHS3 compliant. The Mill-Max 833-13-018-10-002000 is RoHS non-compliant, matching the compliance status of the original 63453-318.
