Engineering Selection Recommendations
All substitute parts listed are active products from established manufacturers with ROHS3 compliance, addressing the obsolescence of the original 75160-156-36 component.
Primary Substitutes (Highest Compatibility):
PBC36SAAN and PEC36SAAN from Sullins Connector Solutions provide the closest electrical and mechanical alignment. Both maintain 36-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration with phosphor bronze contacts, square contact geometry, and UL94 V-0 insulation rating. PBC36SAAN features gold mating finish matching the original specification, while PEC36SAAN uses tin finish. Contact post length of 0.120" matches the original 75160-156-36 specification.
TSW-136-07-G-S from Samtec Inc. offers phosphor bronze contacts with gold finish and maintains all critical pitch and position parameters. Operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 125°C covers the majority of the original -65°C ~ 130°C specification.
Secondary Substitutes (Functional Equivalents):
PBC36SABN and PEC36SABN provide extended contact post length (0.230") for applications requiring deeper board penetration. Both maintain core electrical specifications and UL94 V-0 rating.
PGC36SAAN from Sullins uses copper alloy contacts with gold finish, providing an alternative material composition while maintaining 36-position, 2.54mm pitch configuration and UL94 V-0 compliance.
800-10-036-10-002000 from Mill-Max Manufacturing Corp. features brass alloy contacts with circular geometry rather than square, representing a mechanical variation suitable for applications where contact shape flexibility exists.
TSW-136-07-L-S and TSW-136-07-S-S from Samtec provide tin and mixed finish options respectively, with identical pitch, position, and temperature specifications to TSW-136-07-G-S.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I directly replace the 75160-156-36 with any of these substitute parts?
A: Direct replacement depends on your specific application requirements. All listed substitutes maintain the critical 36-position, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole solder termination, and unshrouded configuration. However, verify contact post length requirements: the original part and most substitutes use 0.120" posts, while PBC36SABN and PEC36SABN use 0.230" posts. Additionally, confirm your application can accommodate the lower current rating (3A) of Sullins parts compared to the original 5A specification.
Q: What is the difference between gold and tin contact finishes?
A: Contact finish affects corrosion resistance and solderability. Gold finish (PBC36SAAN, PGC36SAAN, TSW-136-07-G-S, TSW-136-07-S-S) provides superior corrosion resistance and is preferred for long-term reliability in harsh environments. Tin finish (PEC36SAAN, TSW-136-07-L-S) offers cost advantages and adequate performance in standard applications. Both finishes are compatible with standard PCB assembly processes.
Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. All substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant, whereas the original 75160-156-36 is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance upgrade is beneficial for new designs and applications subject to RoHS regulations.
Q: What is the significance of contact material differences?
A: The original part uses phosphor bronze contacts. Most substitutes (PBC36SAAN, PBC36SABN, PEC36SAAN, PEC36SABN, TSW series) maintain phosphor bronze for electrical performance consistency. PGC36SAAN uses copper alloy, and 800-10-036-10-002000 uses brass alloy. Phosphor bronze is preferred for spring characteristics and electrical conductivity; alternative materials are acceptable where application requirements permit.
Q: How do operating temperature ranges compare?
A: The original 75160-156-36 operates from -65°C to 130°C. Sullins parts (PBC and PEC series) operate -65°C to 125°C, covering most applications. Samtec TSW series operates -55°C to 125°C, suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications. For applications requiring the full -65°C lower limit, Sullins parts are preferred.
Q: What is the difference between standard and breakaway connector types?
A: Breakaway connectors (PBC36SAAN, PBC36SABN, PEC36SAAN, PEC36SABN) allow individual pins to be separated from the header after assembly, providing design flexibility. Standard headers (PGC36SAAN, TSW series, 800-10-036-10-002000) maintain rigid 36-position configuration. Select based on your assembly and application requirements.
Q: Can I use the 75869-304LF as a substitute?
A: No. The 75869-304LF is a 20-position, 2-row connector with different pitch spacing (0.100" row spacing) and shrouded configuration. It does not meet the 36-position, single-row, unshrouded requirements of the 75160-156-36.
