Equivalent & Substitute Parts for 75374-013

Part Overview

The 75374-013 is a socket contact connector from Amphenol ICC (FCI) designed for rectangular connector applications. This component features gold plating on a crimp termination suitable for 18-20 AWG wire gauges. The part is classified as obsolete, which necessitates identification of equivalent and substitute components to maintain design continuity and ensure procurement availability for new production runs and field replacements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 75374-013 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Contact Configuration: Socket type with crimp termination
• Electrical Specification: 18-20 AWG wire gauge capacity
• Contact Material & Finish: Gold plating at 40.0µin thickness for corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity
• Environmental Classification: MSL 1 rating for unlimited moisture exposure tolerance
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS and REACH status for end-use application requirements

Two substitute options are identified:

Direct Series Substitute (75374-013LF): Maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the same Mini-PV™ series from Amphenol ICC (FCI), with the primary distinction being active product status and RoHS compliance.

Cross-Manufacturer Substitute (0945180100): Molex blade-type contact offering equivalent wire gauge and crimp termination capability, suitable for applications where connector form factor flexibility exists.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Series Replacement: The 75374-013LF is the primary equivalent substitute. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Mini-PV™ series architecture. The transition from obsolete to active product status ensures long-term procurement availability. The upgrade to RoHS compliance aligns with current regulatory requirements for most applications. The REACH Affected designation requires verification against specific end-use chemical substance restrictions.

For Cross-Manufacturer Substitution: The 0945180100 from Molex provides functional equivalence in wire gauge and crimp termination capability. This option is suitable only when connector form factor and mating interface compatibility permit blade-type contact substitution. The ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status offer regulatory advantages for certain applications. Contact finish specifications are not provided for this component and must be verified against application requirements.

Compliance Considerations: Selection between substitutes depends on regulatory requirements. RoHS compliance is mandatory for most consumer and industrial applications in regulated markets. REACH compliance status should be evaluated against specific chemical substance restrictions applicable to the end product and geographic market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 75374-013LF be used as a direct replacement for 75374-013?

A: Yes. The 75374-013LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications: socket configuration, 18-20 AWG wire gauge, gold contact finish at 40.0µin thickness, and crimp termination. Both components are rated MSL 1. The primary differences are product status (active vs. obsolete) and regulatory compliance (RoHS compliant vs. non-compliant).

Q: What are the limitations of using 0945180100 as a substitute?

A: The 0945180100 is a blade-type contact from Molex, whereas the original 75374-013 is a rectangular connector socket. Substitution is only viable if the connector housing and mating interface can accommodate blade-type contacts. Contact finish specifications are not provided and must be verified. The connector series and form factor differ significantly.

Q: Does the packaging format affect substitution eligibility?

A: Packaging format (Tape & Reel vs. bulk) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both 75374-013LF and 0945180100 are supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes. Packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly equipment capability.

Q: What is the significance of REACH Affected vs. REACH Unaffected status?

A: REACH Affected status indicates the component may contain substances subject to REACH chemical substance restrictions. REACH Unaffected status indicates no known restricted substances. For applications in European markets or with REACH-regulated supply chains, REACH Unaffected components may be preferred. Verification against specific restricted substance lists is required for final compliance determination.

Q: Are there any performance differences between gold-plated and unspecified contact finishes?

A: The original 75374-013 and direct substitute 75374-013LF both specify gold plating at 40.0µin thickness, providing corrosion resistance and stable electrical contact. The 0945180100 does not specify contact finish material or thickness. For applications requiring specific contact resistance or corrosion performance, contact finish specification must be verified before substitution.
