Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 51940-076 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

  • Connector type and style (Receptacle, Female Blade Sockets; Blade Power)
  • Number of positions (3)
  • Pitch specification (0.300" / 7.62mm)
  • Mounting method (Through Hole)
  • Termination type (Press-Fit)
  • Contact layout (3 Power)
  • Physical features (Board Lock, Guide Pin)
  • Contact finish and thickness (Gold or Gold, GXT™; 30.0µin)
  • Color (Black)
  • Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
  • Operating temperature range (-20°C ~ 105°C)
  • Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The substitute part 51940-076LF meets all these criteria and is manufactured by the same supplier within the same PwrBlade® series. The primary distinction is product status and compliance certification.
