Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Closest Functional Match)

The Samtec TSW series (TSW-136-07-G-S, TSW-136-07-L-S, TSW-136-07-S-S, TSW-136-07-T-S) and Sullins PBC36SAAN/PBC36SABN represent the most direct functional equivalents. These parts maintain phosphor bronze contact material with gold mating finish options, operate within acceptable temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C), and carry active product status with ROHS3 compliance. The TSW-136-07-G-S variant provides gold post finish matching the original specification most closely.

Secondary Substitutes (Functional Alternatives)

The Sullins PEC36SAAN and PEC36SABN series offer tin mating finish with phosphor bronze contacts, suitable for applications where gold plating is not critical. The Mill-Max 800-10-036-10-002000 provides an alternative with brass alloy contacts and gold finish, though operating temperature range is not specified.

Compliance Considerations

All substitute parts listed carry ROHS3 compliance status, meeting modern regulatory requirements. The original 75160-112-36LF is RoHS Compliant. All parts are classified as REACH Unaffected or REACH Affected with EAR99 export classification.

Product Availability

All substitute parts maintain active product status with current inventory availability, ensuring long-term procurement viability compared to the obsolete original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TSW-136-07-G-S directly replace the 75160-112-36LF?

A: The TSW-136-07-G-S maintains the same 36-position 2.54mm pitch configuration, phosphor bronze contact material, and gold mating finish. Operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C, which covers the lower end of the original -65°C to 130°C specification. Mechanical compatibility requires verification of contact length and insulation height differences: TSW-136-07-G-S has 0.230" mating contact length versus 0.225" on the original, and 0.100" insulation height matching the original.

Q: What is the difference between PBC36SAAN and PEC36SAAN?

A: Both are Sullins 36-position 2.54mm pitch headers with phosphor bronze contacts and identical mechanical dimensions. The primary difference is contact finish: PBC36SAAN features gold mating finish with tin post finish, while PEC36SAAN features tin mating finish with tin post finish. Both operate -65°C to 125°C and carry 3A current rating.

Q: Why do some substitute parts have lower current ratings (3A vs 5A)?

A: Current rating is determined by contact material, finish thickness, and design specifications. The Sullins and Samtec alternatives are rated at 3A, which is lower than the original 5A specification. Applications requiring the full 5A rating should verify that substitute parts meet electrical requirements before implementation.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The original 75160-112-36LF is RoHS Compliant, and all substitutes maintain or exceed this compliance level.

Q: What is the significance of contact finish thickness differences?

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and mating cycles. The original 75160-112-36LF specifies 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold thickness. Samtec TSW-136-07-S-S matches this thickness, while most Sullins alternatives specify 10.0µin (0.25µm) or 100.0µin (2.54µm). Thicker finishes (100.0µin) provide extended contact life, while thinner finishes (10.0µin) reduce material cost.

Q: Can I use Mill-Max 800-10-036-10-002000 as a substitute?

A: The Mill-Max part maintains 36-position 2.54mm pitch and through-hole solder termination. However, it uses brass alloy contacts instead of phosphor bronze, has circular contact shape versus square, and operating temperature range is not specified. Mechanical dimensions differ significantly: 0.142" mating contact length and 0.385" overall length versus 0.225" and 0.660" on the original. This part is suitable only for applications where contact material and geometry differences are acceptable.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts listed are supplied in bulk packaging. The original 75160-112-36LF packaging type is not specified in the provided data.
