Engineering Selection Recommendations

All listed substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status, providing long-term availability and supply chain stability compared to the obsolete 75160-322-36LF.

Primary Substitutes (Highest Compatibility)

The Molex 0022303364 and TE Connectivity 3-826926-6 are the most direct functional equivalents. Both maintain the 36-position, 2.54mm pitch, single-row through-hole configuration with push-pull fastening and solder termination. The Molex part is ROHS3 compliant with tin contact finish matching the original. The TE Connectivity 3-826926-6 offers identical electrical ratings (5A current) and tin finish with ROHS3 compliance.

Secondary Substitutes (Thermal Considerations)

TE Connectivity parts 3-826646-6 and 3-826647-6 operate at -65°C ~ 105°C, which is 25°C lower than the original part's maximum rating. These are suitable for applications not requiring the full 130°C upper temperature limit. Both carry 5A current rating and RoHS compliance.

Alternative Substitutes (Current Rating Reduction)

Preci-Dip 350 and 351 series parts (350-10-136-00-018101, 350-80-136-00-018101, 351-10-136-00-003101, 351-80-136-00-003101) are functionally compatible but rated for 3A current versus the original 5A. These are suitable for applications with lower current requirements. Operating temperature range is -55°C ~ 125°C.

High-Temperature Alternative

Samtec BHS-136-G-A and BHS-136-T-A provide board-to-board connectivity with -55°C ~ 125°C operating range and high-temperature insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer). Current rating is not specified for these parts.

All substitute parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating or equivalent compliance and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level, matching the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace the 75160-322-36LF with any of these substitute parts?

A: Yes, all listed parts maintain the core mechanical and electrical characteristics: 36 positions, 2.54mm pitch, single row, through-hole solder termination, and push-pull fastening. Physical board layout compatibility is maintained. However, verify that your application's current and temperature requirements align with the substitute part's ratings.

Q: What is the difference between tin and gold contact finishes?

A: Tin finish (0022303364, 3-826926-6, 350-80-136-00-018101, 351-80-136-00-003101, BHS-136-T-A) provides cost-effective corrosion resistance suitable for general applications. Gold finish (3-826646-6, 3-826647-6, 350-10-136-00-018101, 351-10-136-00-003101, BHS-136-G-A) offers superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance, beneficial for high-reliability or low-signal applications. Both finishes are electrically compatible with the original part.

Q: Why do some substitute parts have lower current ratings?

A: Preci-Dip 350 and 351 series parts are rated for 3A versus the original 5A. These parts are suitable for applications requiring lower current levels. If your design requires 5A current capacity, select from Molex 0022303364, TE Connectivity 3-826646-6, 3-826647-6, or 3-826926-6.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range difference?

A: The original part operates from -65°C to 130°C. TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II parts (3-826646-6, 3-826647-6, 3-826926-6) operate to 105°C maximum. Preci-Dip and Samtec parts operate to 125°C maximum. Select based on your application's thermal environment. If your design requires operation above 105°C, avoid TE Connectivity AMPMODU parts.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The original part is RoHS Compliant. All substitute parts carry either RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant status, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: What does "Breakaway" connector type mean?

A: Breakaway connectors (Molex 0022303364 and TE Connectivity AMPMODU Mod II series) allow individual pins or groups of pins to be separated from the main header body. Standard headers (Preci-Dip and Samtec) do not have this feature. Both types are mechanically and electrically compatible for board-to-board applications.

Q: Can I use these parts interchangeably in the same design?

A: Yes, for board layout purposes. All parts share the same 2.54mm pitch and 36-position single-row configuration. However, verify contact length, insulation height, and overall connector dimensions if your PCB design has tight mechanical constraints. Consult detailed mechanical drawings for each part if space is limited.
