76308-215LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 76308-215LF is a 15-position receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) in the BergCon® series. This through-hole, gold-plated connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and is designed for board-to-board or cable applications. The part is active and in stock with 889 units available. Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary part is unavailable, when alternative contact finishes or connector types better suit application requirements, or when sourcing from multiple manufacturers is required for supply chain resilience.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 76308-215LF is determined by the following core parameters: 15-position configuration, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole mounting, solder termination, female socket contact type, and push-pull fastening. The substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on connector type and contact finish:

Category 1: Receptacle Connectors with Gold Finish

SSW-115-01-F-S, SSW-115-03-G-S, SSW-115-06-G-S (Samtec Inc.)
These maintain receptacle configuration and gold mating finish, differing in contact type (forked vs. socket) and post contact length

Category 2: Header Connectors and Alternative Receptacles

PPPC151LFBN-RC, PPTC151LFBN-RC (Sullins Connector Solutions)
0901471115 (Molex)
These provide alternative connector types (header vs. receptacle) or contact finishes (tin vs. gold) while maintaining core pitch, position count, and through-hole mounting

All substitute parts share the following critical parameters with the main part: 15 positions, 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, through-hole mounting, solder termination, square contact shape, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Receptacle Substitutes (Preferred for Pin-Compatible Applications)

The 0901471115 (Molex C-Grid 90147) is the primary manufacturer-recommended substitute. It maintains receptacle configuration and female socket contact type with identical pitch and position count. The primary difference is tin mating finish versus gold. This part is active, RoHS3 compliant, and rated for 3A at 350V, providing adequate electrical performance for most applications. Inventory availability is higher at 1201 units.

Gold-Finish Receptacle Alternatives (Samtec SSW Series)

The SSW-115-01-F-S, SSW-115-03-G-S, and SSW-115-06-G-S maintain gold mating finish and receptacle configuration. These parts feature forked contact type rather than socket, higher current rating (4.7A per contact), and extended operating temperature range (-55°C to 125°C). Contact post length varies across the three variants (0.104", 0.394", and 0.124" respectively), requiring verification against PCB stack-up requirements. All are active, RoHS3 compliant, and have MSL ratings suitable for standard handling.

Header Connector Alternatives (Sullins PPPC and PPTC Series)

The PPPC151LFBN-RC and PPTC151LFBN-RC are header connectors rather than receptacles, suitable only for applications where the mating interface accepts header pins. PPPC151LFBN-RC provides gold finish with 3A rating and 250V rating. PPTC151LFBN-RC provides tin finish with identical electrical ratings. Both are active, RoHS3 compliant, and offer higher inventory (12212 and 5923 units respectively). These are appropriate only when the application design accommodates header-type connectors.

All substitute parts maintain active product status and RoHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use a header connector (PPPC151LFBN-RC or PPTC151LFBN-RC) as a direct replacement for the 76308-215LF receptacle?

A: No. The 76308-215LF is a receptacle connector designed to accept mating pins. Header connectors have protruding pins and are designed to mate with receptacle sockets. Substitution is only possible if your application design accommodates header-type connectors on the PCB.

Q: What is the difference between the Samtec SSW-115 variants (01-F-S, 03-G-S, 06-G-S)?

A: All three maintain 15 positions, 0.100" pitch, gold mating finish, and receptacle configuration. The primary differences are contact post length: SSW-115-01-F-S is 0.104", SSW-115-03-G-S is 0.394", and SSW-115-06-G-S is 0.124". Selection depends on PCB stack-up and mating depth requirements. All feature forked contact type and higher current rating (4.7A per contact) compared to the main part.

Q: Can I substitute the 76308-215LF with the Molex 0901471115 if my application requires gold plating?

A: The 0901471115 has tin mating finish, not gold. If gold plating is a functional requirement, use PPPC151LFBN-RC, PPTC151LFBN-RC, or the Samtec SSW series (SSW-115-01-F-S, SSW-115-03-G-S, SSW-115-06-G-S), all of which provide gold mating finish.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The main part is RoHS Compliant. All substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant, which is a higher standard. All parts are suitable for RoHS-regulated applications.

Q: What is the difference between socket and forked contact types?

A: Socket contacts (76308-215LF, 0901471115, PPPC151LFBN-RC, PPTC151LFBN-RC) have a closed cavity that grips mating pins. Forked contacts (Samtec SSW series) have two prongs that grip the pin from opposite sides. Both provide electrical connection; forked contacts typically offer higher current capacity and are rated at 4.7A per contact versus 3A for socket types.

Q: Does the operating temperature range affect substitution eligibility?

A: The main part does not specify an operating temperature range. Substitute parts provide ranges from -40°C to 105°C (Sullins) or -55°C to 125°C (Samtec and Molex). These ranges are suitable for standard industrial and commercial applications. Verify your application's temperature requirements before selection.

Q: What packaging differences exist among the substitute parts?

A: The main part and Molex 0901471115 are supplied in tubes. Sullins parts (PPPC151LFBN-RC, PPTC151LFBN-RC) are supplied in trays. Samtec SSW series parts are supplied in bulk. Packaging affects handling, storage, and reel compatibility for automated assembly. Confirm packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly processes.
