Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for PLCC 68-position sockets is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Position and Pitch Requirements:

• Number of positions: 68 (4 x 17) configuration
• Mating pitch: 0.050" (1.27mm)
• Post pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)

Electrical and Material Specifications:

• Contact finish: Gold plating on both mating and post surfaces
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Current rating: 1 A minimum
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination method: Solder

Physical and Environmental Characteristics:

• Closed frame design
• Housing material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Operating temperature compatibility

The substitute part A-CCS 068-G-T meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution while offering improved product status and compliance characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The A-CCS 068-G-T is a direct functional equivalent to the A-CCS68-G and is suitable for substitution in applications requiring a 68-position PLCC socket with gold-plated phosphor bronze contacts.

Product Status Consideration: The A-CCS68-G is classified as obsolete, while the A-CCS 068-G-T maintains active product status. Selection of the active substitute part ensures ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and supply chain continuity.

Compliance and Certification: The A-CCS 068-G-T achieves ROHS3 compliance, whereas the main part is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements, the substitute part satisfies current environmental compliance standards.

Electrical Performance: The substitute part demonstrates improved contact resistance (15mOhm versus 30mOhm), providing enhanced electrical performance while maintaining the same 1 A current rating and gold contact finish specifications.

Operating Temperature: The A-CCS 068-G-T operates across -40°C to 105°C, compared to the main part's -55°C to 105°C range. Applications requiring operation below -40°C require evaluation of the temperature differential.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the A-CCS 068-G-T be used as a direct replacement for the A-CCS68-G?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical PLCC 68-position configuration, mating and post pitch specifications (0.050" and 0.100" respectively), gold contact finish, phosphor bronze contact material, through-hole mounting, and solder termination. Electrical and mechanical compatibility is established across all critical parameters.

Q: What is the difference in contact resistance between these parts?

A: The A-CCS68-G specifies 30mOhm contact resistance, while the A-CCS 068-G-T specifies 15mOhm. The substitute part provides lower contact resistance, which may improve signal integrity in high-frequency or low-voltage applications.

Q: Does the operating temperature range difference affect substitution?

A: The A-CCS68-G operates from -55°C to 105°C, while the A-CCS 068-G-T operates from -40°C to 105°C. For applications requiring operation below -40°C, the main part specification must be retained. For standard industrial and commercial temperature ranges, the substitute part is suitable.

Q: What is the significance of RoHS3 compliance on the substitute part?

A: The A-CCS 068-G-T is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. The main part is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS requirements or for new designs, the substitute part satisfies regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The A-CCS68-G is supplied in bulk packaging, while the A-CCS 068-G-T is supplied in tube packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; selection depends on inventory management and handling requirements.

Q: What is the housing material composition difference?

A: The A-CCS68-G housing is specified as Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) with glass filling, while the A-CCS 068-G-T housing is specified as Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) without explicit glass-fill notation. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are functionally equivalent for socket applications.
