Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Receptacle with female socket contacts
• Position Count & Pitch: 16 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Insulation Height: 0.335" (8.51mm)
• Flammability & Compliance: UL94 V-0 rated, RoHS compliant

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on contact finish:

Gold-Plated Mating Contact Substitutes: M20-7821642 (Harwin), PPPC161LFBN-RC (Sullins), SSW-116-01-F-S (Samtec), SSW-116-01-L-S (Samtec)

Tin-Plated Mating Contact Substitutes: M20-7821646 (Harwin), PPTC161LFBN-RC (Sullins)

All listed substitutes maintain the core mechanical and electrical compatibility required for direct functional replacement in 16-position 0.100" pitch applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Receptacle Type, Gold Finish)

M20-7821642 (Harwin) and SSW-116-01-F-S (Samtec) are direct functional equivalents to the 76308-116LF. Both maintain receptacle connector type, 16-position configuration, 0.100" pitch, through-hole mounting, and gold mating contact finish. All three parts are UL94 V-0 rated and RoHS compliant. M20-7821642 offers higher inventory availability (4200 units) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C). SSW-116-01-F-S provides higher current rating per contact (4.7A) and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C).

Secondary Substitutes (Receptacle Type, Tin Finish)

M20-7821646 (Harwin) is a receptacle connector with tin-plated mating contacts. This substitute is appropriate when gold plating is not required and cost optimization is a consideration. Electrical and mechanical compatibility remains equivalent to the main part.

Alternative Substitutes (Header Type)

PPPC161LFBN-RC (Sullins, gold finish) and PPTC161LFBN-RC (Sullins, tin finish) are header connectors rather than receptacles. These parts maintain 16-position, 0.100" pitch, through-hole configuration and UL94 V-0 compliance. Header connectors are suitable for applications where the mating interface differs from the original receptacle design. PPTC161LFBN-RC offers the highest inventory availability (21527 units).

All substitute parts are active in production status and meet RoHS compliance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can M20-7821642 directly replace the 76308-116LF?

A: Yes. Both are 16-position receptacle connectors with 0.100" pitch, through-hole solder termination, gold mating contacts, 0.335" insulation height, and UL94 V-0 rating. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the difference between receptacle and header connector types?

A: The 76308-116LF is a receptacle connector designed to accept mating pins. PPPC161LFBN-RC and PPTC161LFBN-RC are header connectors with protruding pins. The choice depends on the mating interface requirement in your application. Receptacles are used when the connector receives pins from a mating component.

Q: When should I use tin-plated contacts instead of gold?

A: Tin-plated substitutes (M20-7821646, PPTC161LFBN-RC) are appropriate for cost-sensitive applications where gold plating is not required by design specifications. Gold plating provides superior corrosion resistance and contact reliability in demanding environments.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The main part 76308-116LF is RoHS Compliant, and all listed substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for substitutes?

A: The 76308-116LF does not specify an operating temperature range. Harwin M20 series parts operate from -40°C to 105°C. Samtec SSW series parts operate from -55°C to 125°C. Sullins PPPC/PPTC series parts operate from -40°C to 105°C. Select based on your application temperature requirements.

Q: Which substitute offers the best inventory availability?

A: PPTC161LFBN-RC (Sullins, tin-plated header) has the highest inventory at 21527 units. PPPC161LFBN-RC (Sullins, gold-plated header) has 12893 units. M20-7821642 (Harwin, gold-plated receptacle) has 4200 units.
