Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the ICA-314-WGG is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Position Count and Pitch: Both the main part and substitute must accommodate 14 positions in a 2 x 7 configuration with 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and 0.3" (7.62mm) row spacing. These dimensions ensure mechanical compatibility with standard DIP package footprints.

Mounting Configuration: Through-hole mounting type is required for both parts to ensure compatibility with printed circuit board assembly processes and existing designs.

Contact Material and Finish: Gold-plated mating contacts are specified for both parts to ensure consistent electrical performance and corrosion resistance. Beryllium copper mating contact material is required for reliable spring force and contact integrity.

Operating Temperature Range: Both parts must support the -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range to ensure functional reliability across specified environmental conditions.

Compliance Standards: RoHS3 compliance is mandatory for both parts. UL94 V-0 flammability rating is specified for the main part; substitute parts must meet equivalent or superior flammability standards.

The substitute part 123-13-314-41-001000 from Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. meets all critical substitution criteria while offering alternative termination and contact post specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection - ICA-314-WGG (Samtec Inc.):

The ICA-314-WGG is the specified primary component with active product status and 1033 units in current inventory. This part is ROHS3 compliant and carries UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection of this part is appropriate for applications where solder termination is the required assembly method and where the 1 A current rating meets circuit requirements.

Substitute Selection - 123-13-314-41-001000 (Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp.):

The 123-13-314-41-001000 is an active substitute part with 809 units in inventory. This part maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the primary part across all critical parameters: 14-position DIP configuration, 0.100" mating pitch, 0.3" row spacing, gold-plated beryllium copper mating contacts, and -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 export classification.

Differentiation Factors:

The substitute part features wire wrap termination instead of solder termination, which may be advantageous in applications requiring rework capability or prototype development. The substitute part supports a 3 A current rating compared to the primary part's 1 A rating, providing higher current capacity for applications with elevated power requirements. The substitute part carries Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 classification, indicating unlimited shelf life without moisture control requirements.

Selection between these parts should be based on termination method requirements (solder versus wire wrap), current rating requirements, and assembly process compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 123-13-314-41-001000 be used as a direct replacement for the ICA-314-WGG in existing designs?

A: The 123-13-314-41-001000 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the ICA-314-WGG across all critical parameters including position count, pitch, row spacing, contact material, and operating temperature range. However, the termination method differs: the primary part uses solder termination while the substitute uses wire wrap termination. Direct replacement is possible only if the printed circuit board design accommodates wire wrap post dimensions and the assembly process supports wire wrap termination.

Q: What are the key differences between these two socket parts?

A: The primary differences are: (1) Termination type—ICA-314-WGG uses solder termination while 123-13-314-41-001000 uses wire wrap termination; (2) Current rating—ICA-314-WGG is rated for 1 A while 123-13-314-41-001000 is rated for 3 A; (3) Contact post finish thickness—ICA-314-WGG specifies 30.0µin while 123-13-314-41-001000 specifies 10.0µin; (4) Termination post length—123-13-314-41-001000 specifies 0.510" (12.95mm); (5) Housing material—ICA-314-WGG uses polyester with glass fill while 123-13-314-41-001000 uses polycyclohexylenedimethylene terephthalate (PCT) polyester.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the ICA-314-WGG and 123-13-314-41-001000 are rated for -55°C to 125°C operating temperature range, ensuring functional compatibility across identical environmental conditions.

Q: What is the significance of the different contact post materials?

A: The ICA-314-WGG uses brass contact posts while the 123-13-314-41-001000 uses brass alloy contact posts. Both materials provide adequate electrical conductivity and mechanical strength for through-hole termination. The specific alloy composition of the substitute part may provide enhanced corrosion resistance or mechanical properties, but both materials are suitable for standard through-hole solder or wire wrap applications.

Q: Do both parts meet current compliance requirements?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 export classification. The ICA-314-WGG additionally carries UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring regulatory compliance with current environmental and export standards.

Q: Which part should be selected for high-current applications?

A: The 123-13-314-41-001000 is rated for 3 A current capacity compared to the ICA-314-WGG's 1 A rating. For applications requiring current capacity exceeding 1 A, the substitute part provides higher current handling capability. However, wire wrap termination compatibility with the circuit board design must be confirmed.
