Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 75168-301-09 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type: Header
• Contact type: Male pin
• Number of positions: 9
• Pitch: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting configuration: Through hole, right angle
• Termination method: Solder
• Contact material: Phosphor bronze
• Insulation material: Thermoplastic
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation color: Black

The substitute part 75168-301-09LF maintains all these critical parameters. Differences in contact finish composition and RoHS compliance status do not affect mechanical or electrical interchangeability for board-level applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 75168-301-09LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 75168-301-09. Both parts are manufactured by Amphenol ICC within the BERGSTIK® series and maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications.

The primary distinction is product status: the original part is obsolete, while the substitute is active and currently in production. The 75168-301-09LF also achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the original part does not. For new designs or ongoing production requiring component continuity, the 75168-301-09LF is the appropriate selection.

Contact finish differences (tin-lead versus tin) and finish thickness variations do not affect functional interchangeability in standard board-level applications. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification and identical moisture sensitivity classification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 75168-301-09 and 75168-301-09LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mounting type (through hole, right angle), position count (9), pitch (0.100"), contact geometry, and insulation dimensions. They are direct mechanical substitutes.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finishes?

A: The original part uses tin-lead plating at 150.0µin thickness, while the substitute uses tin plating at 78.7µin thickness. The tin finish on the substitute reflects RoHS compliance requirements. Both finishes provide adequate corrosion resistance and solderability for standard applications.

Q: Why is the original part listed as obsolete?

A: The 75168-301-09 has been discontinued by the manufacturer. The 75168-301-09LF represents the current production equivalent within the same series.

Q: Does RoHS compliance affect performance?

A: RoHS compliance on the 75168-301-09LF indicates lead-free manufacturing. This does not affect electrical or mechanical performance in standard applications. The part maintains all critical specifications including flammability rating and contact material composition.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The 75168-301-09LF is supplied in bulk packaging, as opposed to the original part's unspecified packaging format.

Q: Are there any thermal or electrical rating differences?

A: No electrical or thermal ratings are specified for either part in the provided data. Both parts are suitable for identical applications based on their mechanical and material specifications.
