Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connectors is determined by strict alignment of core electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish functional equivalence:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Number of Positions: 11 (exact match required)
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) (exact match required)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
• Termination: Solder (exact match required)
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull (exact match required)
• Contact Finish - Mating: Gold (exact match required)
• Style: Board to Board (exact match required)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (exact match required)

Secondary Compatibility Parameters:

• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C or equivalent
• Contact Type: Female Socket (exact match required)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 or equivalent regulatory status

All three substitute parts (76341-311LF, BCS-111-LM-S-TE, ESS-111-G-03) satisfy these primary criteria. Variations in insulation material, contact shape, contact material composition, and specific dimensional tolerances do not preclude substitution when all primary parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

316-87-111-41-012101 (Preci-Dip) Primary selection when original part availability is confirmed. ROHS3 compliant with specified operating temperature range and 3A current rating. Bulk packaging suitable for high-volume assembly operations.

Receptacle connector type with square contact geometry. Phosphor bronze contact material. Blue insulation color. Tube packaging. Higher inventory availability (2095 units). Suitable for applications where contact material composition variation is acceptable.

BCS-111-LM-S-TE (Samtec Tiger Claw™ BCS) Direct substitute with ROHS3 compliance and specified operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Receptacle connector type with enhanced current rating (4.6A per contact) and voltage rating (475VAC). Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation material. Square contact geometry. Phosphor bronze contact material. Tube packaging. Suitable for applications requiring higher current capacity.

ESS-111-G-03 (Samtec ESS) Direct substitute with ROHS3 compliance and specified operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Elevated socket connector type with circular contact geometry matching main part. Beryllium copper contact material matching main part. Gold post finish. Liquid Crystal Polymer insulation. Bulk packaging. MSL classification not applicable. Suitable for applications requiring elevated socket configuration.

All substitute parts maintain Active product status and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 76341-311LF replace 316-87-111-41-012101 in all applications?

A: 76341-311LF meets all primary substitution criteria (11 positions, 0.100" pitch, through-hole, solder termination, push-pull fastening, gold mating finish, board-to-board style, UL94 V-0). Operating temperature range is not specified for this part. Verify application temperature requirements before selection. Contact material differs (phosphor bronze vs. beryllium copper) and insulation color is blue rather than black.

Q: What is the difference between socket and receptacle connectors in this product line?

A: Both connector types feature female socket contacts and are functionally compatible in board-to-board applications. The primary distinction is mechanical form factor. Socket connectors (316-87-111-41-012101, ESS-111-G-03) and receptacle connectors (76341-311LF, BCS-111-LM-S-TE) accommodate the same mating interface with 0.100" pitch. Selection depends on PCB layout requirements and mechanical clearance constraints.

Q: Does BCS-111-LM-S-TE offer advantages over the main part?

A: BCS-111-LM-S-TE provides higher current rating (4.6A per contact vs. 3A) and specified voltage rating (475VAC). Operating temperature range matches the main part (-55°C ~ 125°C). These specifications make BCS-111-LM-S-TE suitable for higher-power applications. ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 rating are equivalent.

Q: Why is ESS-111-G-03 classified as an elevated socket?

A: ESS-111-G-03 features elevated socket geometry, which provides increased clearance above the PCB surface. This configuration is functionally equivalent to standard socket connectors for mating purposes. Elevated design accommodates applications with component height constraints or specific PCB layout requirements. Contact material (beryllium copper) and post finish (gold) match the main part.

Q: Are there packaging differences that affect component handling?

A: Main part (316-87-111-41-012101) and ESS-111-G-03 are supplied in bulk packaging. 76341-311LF and BCS-111-LM-S-TE are supplied in tube packaging. Bulk packaging is suitable for automated assembly processes. Tube packaging provides individual component protection. Selection depends on assembly line equipment compatibility and inventory management procedures.

Q: What is the significance of contact material composition differences?

A: Main part uses beryllium copper contacts; 76341-311LF and BCS-111-LM-S-TE use phosphor bronze. Both materials provide reliable electrical conductivity and mechanical durability in 0.100" pitch applications. Material selection does not affect functional compatibility. Contact finish (gold mating, tin post) remains consistent across all parts.

Q: Is MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) classification important for these connectors?

A: Main part, 76341-311LF, and BCS-111-LM-S-TE are classified MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. ESS-111-G-03 is classified as Not Applicable. MSL classification is relevant for storage and handling procedures. MSL 1 parts require standard storage conditions without special humidity control.
