A14-LCG IC DIP Socket 14-Position Gold Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The A14-LCG is a 14-position DIP socket manufactured by Assmann WSW Components, designed for through-hole mounting of dual inline package integrated circuits. This connector features gold-plated contacts and 0.3" (7.62mm) row spacing, standard for DIP socket applications. The part is currently in stock with 903 units available. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary to address supply chain flexibility, manufacturer discontinuation, or specific application requirements while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the A14-LCG are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

• Number of Positions: 14 (2 x 7) configuration
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Pitch - Post: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing: 0.3" (7.62mm)
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Termination Post Length: 0.125" (3.18mm)
• Housing Material: Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate (PCT), Polyester
• Mounting Configuration: Open Frame

Substitute parts must match all critical parameters to ensure direct compatibility in PCB assembly and component insertion without modification to the circuit board or socket cavity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

110-13-314-41-001000 (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.) is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the A14-LCG. This part maintains active product status and carries ROHS3 compliance certification. The operating temperature range extends to 125°C, providing broader thermal performance than the TE Connectivity alternative. Current rating of 3 A is specified, and MSL rating of 1 indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity protection. Tube packaging is available for production quantities.

4-1571552-2 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors) is an alternative substitute with equivalent mechanical and electrical parameters. However, this part carries obsolete product status, which may impact long-term availability and supply chain reliability. Operating temperature range is limited to 105°C. This part should be considered only when the Mill-Max substitute is unavailable.

Both substitute parts satisfy all critical mechanical and electrical compatibility requirements with the A14-LCG, including position count, pitch specifications, contact finish, mounting type, and termination characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 110-13-314-41-001000 be used as a direct replacement for the A14-LCG?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch specifications (0.100" mating and post pitch), row spacing (0.3"), termination post length (0.125"), and housing material. Gold-plated contacts on both mating and post sides ensure electrical compatibility. Through-hole solder termination is identical.

Q: What is the difference between the Mill-Max and TE Connectivity substitutes?

A: The Mill-Max 110-13-314-41-001000 is active product status with extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C) and ROHS3 compliance. The TE Connectivity 4-1571552-2 is obsolete product status with operating temperature range limited to -55°C to 105°C and RoHS compliance. Both meet mechanical compatibility requirements.

Q: Does the contact material difference affect compatibility?

A: Contact material differences (Beryllium Copper for mating contacts, Copper or Brass Alloy for posts) do not affect mechanical compatibility or standard electrical performance in DIP socket applications. Both materials provide adequate conductivity and contact resistance for IC socket applications.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: The Mill-Max substitute is available in Tube packaging, suitable for production assembly. Packaging format should be confirmed based on assembly process requirements and order quantities.

Q: What is the significance of the MSL rating?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has no moisture sensitivity restrictions and does not require special storage or handling conditions prior to soldering. Both substitute parts carry this rating.
