75915-308 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 75915-308 is an 8-position receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) in the Dubox™ series. This connector features a 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole solder termination, and gold-plated mating contacts suitable for board-to-board applications. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 75915-308 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 8 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Contact Finish: Gold-plated mating surface
• Style: Board-to-board connectivity
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 rating

The 75915-308LF is a direct equivalent from the same manufacturer and series, differing only in product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance. The 215299-8 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors provides functional equivalence with identical position count, pitch, and mating contact finish, though from a different manufacturer series (AMPMODU HV-100).

The 76382-320LF is not a direct substitute due to fundamental differences: it is a header connector (male pins) with 20 positions and right-angle mounting, making it incompatible with the 75915-308 receptacle application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 75915-308LF

The 75915-308LF is the recommended direct substitute. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the same Dubox™ series and manufacturer. The primary advantage is active product status with RoHS compliance, addressing the obsolescence of the original 75915-308. Packaging differs (tube vs. bulk), which may affect procurement logistics but does not impact functional compatibility.

Secondary Substitute: 215299-8

The 215299-8 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors provides functional equivalence for board-to-board 8-position receptacle applications at 0.100" pitch with gold mating contacts. This part is suitable where cross-manufacturer sourcing is acceptable. The kinked pin termination variant and polyester insulation material represent minor design differences that do not affect standard through-hole solder mounting. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed.

Not Recommended: 76382-320LF

The 76382-320LF is not suitable as a substitute. It is a header connector with male pins, 20 positions, and right-angle mounting—fundamentally incompatible with the 75915-308 receptacle application. This part serves board-to-cable/wire connectivity, not board-to-board mating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 75915-308LF directly replace the 75915-308 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 75915-308LF is a direct functional equivalent with identical connector type, position count, pitch, mounting method, and contact finish. The primary differences are product status (active vs. obsolete) and RoHS compliance. No design changes are required.

Q: What is the difference between the 75915-308 and 75915-308LF?

A: Both are 8-position receptacle connectors in the Dubox™ series with 0.100" pitch and gold mating contacts. The 75915-308LF is the active production variant with RoHS compliance and tube packaging, while the 75915-308 is obsolete with bulk packaging and non-RoHS status.

Q: Is the 215299-8 compatible with the 75915-308?

A: The 215299-8 is functionally compatible for board-to-board 8-position receptacle applications at 0.100" pitch. Both connectors accept the same mating header pins and provide equivalent electrical performance. The manufacturer difference (TE Connectivity vs. Amphenol ICC) and minor material variations do not affect standard PCB assembly compatibility.

Q: Why is the 76382-320LF listed as a substitute if it is not compatible?

A: The 76382-320LF is not a substitute. It is a header connector with male pins and 20 positions, designed for board-to-cable/wire applications. It cannot mate with the 75915-308 receptacle and serves a different functional purpose.

Q: What packaging options are available for substitutes?

A: The 75915-308LF is supplied in tube packaging, while the 215299-8 is supplied in bulk packaging. Tube packaging typically provides better component protection during handling and storage. Bulk packaging may offer cost advantages for high-volume procurement.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The 75915-308 is RoHS non-compliant, while both 75915-308LF and 215299-8 are RoHS compliant (RoHS and ROHS3 respectively). All three parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. For applications requiring RoHS compliance, the 75915-308LF or 215299-8 are required.
