Secondary Substitutes (Category B - Circular Contact Geometry)
These parts offer functional equivalence with alternative contact geometry. Mechanical interface differences require design verification:
350-10-136-00-018101 and 350-80-136-00-018101 (Preci-Dip 350 series) - Active products with ROHS3 compliance. Current rating reduced to 3A; voltage rating 150VDC. Gold and tin finish variants available. Operating temperature -55°C ~ 125°C.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use a substitute part with circular contacts instead of square contacts?
A: Circular and square contact geometries are mechanically incompatible. Mating connectors designed for square contacts will not properly engage circular pins. Substitution within the same contact geometry (Category A) is required unless the mating connector is also changed.
Q: What is the difference between tin and gold plating on the mating contacts?
A: Tin plating provides cost-effective corrosion resistance suitable for general applications. Gold plating offers superior corrosion resistance and lower contact resistance, beneficial for high-reliability or high-frequency applications. Selection depends on environmental exposure and electrical performance requirements.
Q: The original part specifies 5A current rating, but some substitutes are rated 3A. Can I use them?
A: Current rating determines the maximum continuous current the connector can safely carry. Using a 3A-rated connector in a 5A application creates a thermal and reliability risk. Substitutes with 3A ratings are suitable only for applications drawing less than 3A.
Q: Why is the operating temperature range different for some substitutes?
A: The original 75160-327-36LF operates to 130°C, while most active substitutes are limited to 105°C or 125°C. Verify that your application's maximum operating temperature does not exceed the substitute part's rating. If higher temperature operation is required, confirm compatibility with the substitute's insulation material and contact finish.
Q: What does "Breakaway" connector type mean?
A: Breakaway connectors feature a design that allows individual pins or groups of pins to be separated from the main header body. This provides flexibility in applications requiring partial disconnection. The 75160-327-36LF is a standard header without breakaway capability; breakaway variants (0022303364, 3-826926-6, 3-826646-6, 3-826647-6) offer this additional feature but remain mechanically compatible.
Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?
A: All listed substitutes carry either RoHS or ROHS3 compliance certification. ROHS3 represents the current RoHS 3 directive compliance. Both certifications satisfy RoHS requirements; ROHS3 indicates compliance with the most recent regulatory updates.
Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1?
A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life without moisture-related degradation. The part does not require special dry-pack storage or baking procedures before soldering. All listed substitutes carry MSL 1 rating, matching the original part's moisture handling requirements.
Q: Can I substitute the 75160-327-36LF with a part from a different manufacturer?
A: Yes, provided the substitute meets the critical parameters: 36-position header, 0.100" pitch, male pins, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, and compatible electrical ratings. All listed substitutes from Molex, TE Connectivity, Preci-Dip, and Samtec meet these criteria and are active products with current manufacturing support.
