Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 75168-116-07 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male pin
• Number of positions: 7
• Number of rows: 1
• Pitch - mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting type: Through hole, right angle
• Termination: Solder
• Contact finish - mating: Gold, GXT™
• Contact material: Phosphor Bronze
• Insulation material: Thermoplastic
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation color: Black

The 75168-116-07LF meets all these criteria and qualifies as a direct substitute. The primary distinction is product status and RoHS compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 75168-116-07LF be used as a direct replacement for the 75168-116-07?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally identical across all mechanical and electrical parameters, including pitch, contact configuration, mounting type, and contact materials. The connector will mate and function identically in the same application.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in the part number?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free construction, which correlates with RoHS compliance. The 75168-116-07LF meets RoHS requirements, whereas the original 75168-116-07 does not.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 75168-116-07LF for the 75168-116-07?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable. Mating connectors, PCB footprints, and assembly processes remain unchanged.

Q: Why is the original 75168-116-07 listed as obsolete?

A: The obsolete status reflects the manufacturer's discontinuation of this part number. The 75168-116-07LF represents the current active equivalent within the BERGSTIK® series.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The 75168-116-07 has 1038 pieces in stock (new original). The 75168-116-07LF has 735 pieces in stock (new original, bulk packaging).
