Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 75160-813-36 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
Position Count & Pitch: 36 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
Contact Material & Finish: Phosphor bronze with gold mating surface
Insulation Material & Flammability: Thermoplastic or equivalent with UL94 V-0 rating
Style: Board to board or board to cable compatibility

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category A — Direct Amphenol ICC Equivalent: 75160-813-36LF maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications with active product status and RoHS compliance.

Category B — Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives: Parts from Mill-Max Manufacturing, Samtec, and Sullins Connector Solutions meet core functional requirements (36-position, 2.54mm pitch, through-hole solder header) with variations in contact geometry, insulation material, and compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute — Amphenol ICC 75160-813-36LF

The 75160-813-36LF is the direct equivalent of the obsolete 75160-813-36. It maintains identical mechanical and electrical specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance. This part is the preferred choice for direct replacement in existing designs.

Secondary Substitutes — Active Alternatives

For designs requiring RoHS3 compliance or where Amphenol ICC supply is constrained, the following parts provide functional equivalence:

Samtec TSW-136-07-G-S and TSW-136-07-F-S: Phosphor bronze construction with gold mating finish, PBT insulation, UL94 V-0 rated, operating temperature -55°C to 125°C.
Sullins PBC36SAAN and PBC36SABN: Phosphor bronze with gold mating finish, PBT insulation, breakaway configuration, operating temperature -65°C to 125°C.
Sullins PEC36SAAN and PEC36SABN: Phosphor bronze with tin mating finish, PBT insulation, breakaway configuration, operating temperature -65°C to 125°C.
Sullins PGC36SAAN: Copper alloy with gold finish, thermoplastic polyester insulation, UL94 V-0 rated.
Mill-Max 800-10-036-10-002000: Brass alloy construction with gold finish, PCT insulation, ROHS3 compliant.

All secondary substitutes maintain 36-position, 0.100" pitch through-hole solder termination and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 75160-813-36LF be used as a direct replacement for the obsolete 75160-813-36?

A: Yes. The 75160-813-36LF is mechanically and electrically identical to the 75160-813-36, with the addition of RoHS compliance and active product status. No design changes are required.

Q: What is the primary difference between Samtec TSW and Sullins PBC/PEC series headers?

A: The TSW series uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) insulation with operating temperature range -55°C to 125°C. The Sullins PBC and PEC series also use PBT insulation but extend the operating temperature range to -65°C to 125°C. Contact finish differs: TSW-136-07-G-S features gold on both mating and post surfaces, while PEC series uses tin finish on both surfaces.

Q: Are breakaway headers (Sullins PBC/PEC) compatible with non-breakaway designs?

A: Breakaway headers maintain the same 0.100" pitch and 36-position configuration as non-breakaway types. Mechanical compatibility depends on PCB layout and connector housing design. Verify that the breakaway feature does not interfere with the intended application.

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

A: Contact finish thickness affects durability and mating cycle life. The 75160-813-36 specifies 15.0µin (0.38µm) gold thickness on mating contacts. Samtec TSW-136-07-F-S provides 3.00µin (0.076µm), while TSW-136-07-G-S provides 10.0µin (0.25µm). Thicker finishes generally provide longer service life in high-cycle applications.

Q: Which substitute offers the widest operating temperature range?

A: Sullins PBC36SAAN, PBC36SABN, PEC36SAAN, and PEC36SABN all operate from -65°C to 125°C, providing the widest temperature range among the listed substitutes.

Q: Is RoHS compliance mandatory for all substitute selections?

A: RoHS compliance is determined by application requirements and regional regulations. The original 75160-813-36 is RoHS non-compliant. All listed substitutes except the 75160-813-36 are RoHS3 compliant, making them suitable for applications requiring RoHS certification.

Q: What insulation materials are available among the substitutes?

A: Thermoplastic (75160-813-36LF, PGC36SAAN), Polybutylene Terephthalate — PBT (TSW series, PBC/PEC series), Liquid Crystal Polymer — LCP (HTSW-136-26-TM-S), and Polycyclohexylenedimethylene Terephthalate — PCT (Mill-Max 800-10-036-10-002000). Material selection affects mechanical strength, thermal stability, and chemical resistance.
