Amphenol ICC 75160-128-36 Rectangular Connector Header — Equivalent & Substitute Parts
Part Overview
The Amphenol ICC 75160-128-36 is a through-hole rectangular connector header in the BERGSTIK® series, featuring 36 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch. This part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement. The connector is designed for board-to-board applications with solder termination and push-pull fastening. Substitute parts must maintain compatibility across pitch, position count, mounting type, and electrical ratings while accommodating variations in contact geometry and material specifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations
Direct Amphenol ICC Substitute (Recommended for Legacy Support): The 75160-128-36LF is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 75160-128-36. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications within the BERGSTIK® series. The 75160-128-36LF carries RoHS Compliant status and is actively manufactured, making it the primary choice for direct replacement in new procurement cycles.
Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives (Active Production):
TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series (3-826646-6, 3-826926-6) and Molex KK254 series (0022303364) are fully qualified substitutes meeting all primary compatibility criteria. These parts are in active production with ROHS3 Compliant certification. The TE Connectivity options provide extended operating temperature ranges (-65°C to 105°C) and rated current capacity (5A), suitable for applications requiring higher thermal performance. The Molex 0022303364 offers breakaway connector capability, expanding application flexibility.
Preci-Dip Series 350 and 351 Alternatives: The Preci-Dip 350-10-136-00-018101 and 351-10-136-00-003101 are qualified substitutes with circular contact geometry and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). These parts feature gold-plated contacts and are ROHS3 Compliant. The circular contact design provides alternative mating characteristics while maintaining pitch and position compatibility.
Samtec BHS Series: The Samtec BHS-136-G-A is a through-hole header with gold-plated circular contacts and liquid crystal polymer insulation rated for -55°C to 125°C operation. This part is ROHS3 Compliant and suitable for high-temperature applications.
Compliance Considerations: The original 75160-128-36 is RoHS non-compliant. All recommended substitutes carry either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant certification, meeting current regulatory requirements for new designs and procurement.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use 3-826646-6 or 3-826926-6 as direct replacements for the obsolete 75160-128-36?
A: Yes. Both TE Connectivity parts meet all primary compatibility criteria: 36 positions, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The 3-826926-6 is preferred due to higher inventory availability (2515 pcs) and ROHS3 Compliant status. Minor differences in contact geometry (square vs. circular), insulation material (PBT vs. thermoplastic), and operating temperature range do not affect functional compatibility in standard board-to-board applications.
Q: What is the difference between the 75160-128-36 and 75160-128-36LF?
A: The 75160-128-36LF is the active production variant of the same BERGSTIK® series connector. Both parts share identical pitch (0.100"), position count (36), mounting type (through-hole), and termination (solder). The primary differences are product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance (RoHS Compliant vs. non-compliant). The 75160-128-36LF includes specified operating temperature (-65°C to 130°C), current rating (5A), and voltage rating (110V), which were not documented for the original part.
Q: Are there mechanical compatibility issues when substituting between square and circular contact geometries?
A: No. Both square and circular contact geometries are acceptable substitutes within this connector family. The mating interface is determined by pitch (0.100") and position count (36), not contact shape. Circular contacts (Preci-Dip 350 and 351 series, Samtec BHS-136-G-A) provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance to square contacts (Amphenol, Molex, TE Connectivity standard offerings).
Q: Which substitute part offers the best thermal performance?
A: The Preci-Dip 350-10-136-00-018101 and 351-10-136-00-003101, along with the Samtec BHS-136-G-A, offer the widest operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). The Amphenol 75160-128-36LF extends to -65°C to 130°C, providing the highest upper temperature limit. TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II parts (3-826646-6, 3-826926-6) operate from -65°C to 105°C. Selection depends on specific application thermal requirements.
Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?
A: All recommended substitute parts carry either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant certification. The original 75160-128-36 is RoHS non-compliant. For new designs and procurement subject to RoHS regulations, any of the listed substitutes are acceptable. The 75160-128-36LF, 3-826646-6, 3-826926-6, and all Preci-Dip and Samtec options meet current compliance requirements.
Q: Can I use parts with different contact finishes (gold vs. tin) interchangeably?
A: Yes. Contact finish (gold, tin, or gold-plated) does not affect mechanical compatibility or pitch alignment. Finish selection is driven by application-specific requirements such as corrosion resistance, contact resistance, or solderability. Gold-finished contacts (75160-128-36, 75160-128-36LF, 3-826646-6, Preci-Dip 350-10, 351-10, Samtec BHS-136-G-A) provide superior corrosion resistance. Tin-finished contacts (Molex 0022303364, Preci-Dip 350-80, 351-80, TE Connectivity 3-826926-6) offer cost efficiency and standard solderability.
Q: What is the difference between AMPMODU Mod II parts 3-826646-6 and 3-826926-6?
A: Both are TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II 36-position headers with identical pitch, position count, and mounting specifications. The primary differences are contact finish (gold vs. tin), contact material (brass vs. copper alloy), and contact length specifications. The 3-826926-6 (tin finish, copper alloy) is preferred for new designs due to higher inventory (2515 pcs) and ROHS3 Compliant status. Both parts are functionally equivalent for board-to-board applications.
Q: Do I need to modify PCB layouts when switching between substitute parts?
A: No. All substitute parts maintain identical pitch (0.100"), position count (36), and through-hole mounting specifications. PCB footprints, hole spacing, and solder pad layouts remain unchanged. Physical dimensions may vary slightly in contact length and insulation height, but these variations do not affect PCB compatibility or assembly processes.
