Critical Matching Parameters:

Number of Positions: 36 (exact match required)
Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm) (exact match required)
Contact Type: Male Pin (exact match required)
Mounting Type: Through Hole (exact match required)
Termination: Solder (exact match required)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze or Brass Alloy (both suitable for equivalent electrical performance)
Contact Finish - Mating: Gold or Tin (both provide adequate conductivity and corrosion resistance)
Insulation Material: Thermoplastic, Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), or Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate (PCT) (all meet UL94 V-0 requirements)
Operating Temperature Range: Minimum -55°C to 125°C acceptable (exceeds or meets original -65°C to 130°C specification)
Current Rating: 3A or higher acceptable (original 5A specification)

Substitute parts that deviate from critical parameters or introduce incompatible mechanical dimensions are excluded from this reference.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Recommendation: Sullins Connector Solutions PBC36SAAN or PEC36SAAN

Both parts maintain phosphor bronze contact material and 36-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration. PBC36SAAN features gold mating contact finish, while PEC36SAAN uses tin finish. Both are ROHS3 compliant, active products with -65°C to 125°C operating range and 3A current rating. These parts provide direct functional equivalence with improved regulatory compliance over the obsolete 75160-106-36.

Secondary Recommendation: Samtec Inc. TSW-136-07-G-S

This part maintains phosphor bronze material and gold mating finish with identical 36-position, 2.54mm pitch specification. Operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C covers most industrial applications. ROHS3 compliance and active product status support long-term availability.

Alternative Recommendation: Mill-Max Manufacturing 800-10-036-10-002000

This part provides 36-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration with brass alloy contacts and gold finish. ROHS3 compliance and active status ensure procurement continuity. Brass alloy contacts deliver equivalent electrical performance to phosphor bronze in standard applications.

Compliance Consideration:

All recommended substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, addressing regulatory requirements absent in the obsolete 75160-106-36. Selection should prioritize active product status and compliance certifications for new designs and long-term production support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 75160-106-36 be directly replaced with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes, all listed substitute parts maintain the critical specifications: 36 positions, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, male pin contact type, through-hole mounting, and solder termination. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is preserved across all substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between PBC36SAAN and PEC36SAAN?

A: Both parts are Sullins Connector Solutions 36-position, 2.54mm pitch headers with identical mechanical dimensions and operating temperature range. The primary difference is contact finish: PBC36SAAN uses gold mating finish, while PEC36SAAN uses tin mating finish. Both finishes provide adequate conductivity and corrosion resistance for standard applications.

Q: Does the lower current rating (3A) of substitute parts affect compatibility?

A: The original 75160-106-36 specifies 5A current rating. Substitute parts rated at 3A are suitable for applications requiring 3A or less. For applications requiring the full 5A rating, verify actual current requirements before substitution.

Q: Are there temperature range limitations with substitute parts?

A: Substitute parts specify -55°C to -65°C minimum and 125°C maximum operating temperatures. The original part specifies -65°C to 130°C. For applications requiring operation below -55°C or above 125°C, verify substitute part suitability with the manufacturer.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on substitute parts?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates conformance to Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. The obsolete 75160-106-36 is non-compliant. All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements for new product designs and procurement in regulated markets.

Q: Can contact finish (gold vs. tin) affect performance?

A: Both gold and tin finishes provide adequate electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance for standard connector applications. Selection between gold and tin finish is typically driven by cost considerations and specific application requirements. No functional performance difference exists for standard signal and power distribution applications.

Q: Are Samtec TSW-136 variants interchangeable?

A: TSW-136-07-G-S, TSW-136-07-L-S, and TSW-136-07-S-S maintain identical 36-position, 2.54mm pitch, and phosphor bronze contact material. Variants differ in post finish (gold vs. tin) and mating contact finish thickness. All three are mechanically and electrically interchangeable for standard applications.
