Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the A08-LCG are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

• Position Count & Configuration: 8 positions in 2 x 4 arrangement
• Row Spacing: 0.3" (7.62mm) between rows
• Mating Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm) center-to-center spacing
• Mating Contact Finish: Gold plating
• Mounting Method: Through-hole solder termination
• Operating Temperature: -55°C ~ 125°C range

The identified substitute parts ICA-308-SGT (Samtec Inc.) and 110-13-308-41-001000 (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.) meet all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution in applications using the A08-LCG.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts meet the core electrical and mechanical requirements for direct replacement of the A08-LCG. Selection between alternatives should be based on the following factors:

ICA-308-SGT (Samtec Inc.): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected designation. Current rating of 1 A supports standard IC socket applications. Tin post finish provides cost-effective termination.

110-13-308-41-001000 (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.): Active product status with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Higher current rating of 3 A accommodates applications requiring increased current capacity. Gold post finish provides enhanced contact durability.

Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, indicating no special storage or handling requirements. Availability is adequate for both immediate and volume procurement needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can ICA-308-SGT and 110-13-308-41-001000 be used interchangeably with A08-LCG?

A: Yes. All three parts share identical DIP socket configuration (8 positions, 0.3" row spacing), mating pitch (0.100"), gold mating contact finish, through-hole solder termination, and operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). They are functionally equivalent for standard IC socket applications.

Q: What is the difference in current rating between the substitute parts?

A: ICA-308-SGT is rated for 1 A, while 110-13-308-41-001000 is rated for 3 A. For applications requiring higher current capacity, the Mill-Max part provides additional margin. For standard IC socket applications, both ratings are typically adequate.

Q: Are there differences in contact material between the parts?

A: The mating contacts are beryllium copper in both substitute parts. Post materials differ: ICA-308-SGT uses tin-plated brass, while 110-13-308-41-001000 uses gold-plated brass alloy. Both configurations provide reliable solder termination.

Q: What is the significance of REACH status differences?

A: ICA-308-SGT is REACH Affected, while 110-13-308-41-001000 is REACH Unaffected. For applications subject to REACH regulations, the Mill-Max part may simplify compliance documentation. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Do these parts require special handling or storage?

A: No. All three parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, indicating standard storage and handling conditions are appropriate. No special desiccant packaging or environmental controls are required.
