Amphenol ICC 76314-218 36-Position 0.100" Rectangular Connector Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 76314-218 is a 36-position receptacle connector with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole PCB mounting with solder termination. This connector is part of the BergCon® series and features gold-plated mating contacts with tin-plated posts. The part is currently obsolete, making equivalent and substitute parts necessary for ongoing system support and new designs requiring compatible connectivity solutions.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 76314-218 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain constant:

Number of positions: 36
Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Number of rows: 2
Row spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
Mounting type: Through Hole
Termination: Solder
Fastening type: Push-Pull
Contact finish - Mating: Gold
Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Category 1: Direct Amphenol ICC Equivalent The 76314-218LF is the direct successor from the same manufacturer, maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications while offering RoHS compliance and active product status.

Category 2: Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives Preci-Dip 803-87-036-10-005101 and Samtec ESD-118 series connectors provide functional equivalence through matching core parameters (36 positions, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, and gold mating contacts). These alternatives differ in contact material, insulation material, and post contact length, which are secondary parameters that do not affect basic connector compatibility when mechanical and electrical interfaces align.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For RoHS-compliant applications: The 76314-218LF is the primary recommendation as the direct Amphenol ICC successor. It maintains identical specifications to the original 76314-218 while achieving RoHS compliance and active product status. This part provides the highest compatibility with existing designs.

For applications requiring extended operating temperature specification: The Preci-Dip 803-87-036-10-005101 and all Samtec ESD-118 series variants provide documented operating temperature range of -55°C to 125°C, compared to the unspecified range of the original part. These alternatives are suitable when thermal performance documentation is required.

For applications with specific contact post length requirements: The Samtec ESD-118 series offers multiple post length variants (ESD-118-G-03/T-03 at 0.153", ESD-118-G-23/T-23 at 0.115", ESD-118-G-26/T-26 at 0.215", and ESD-118-G-28/T-08 at 0.365"). Selection should be based on PCB thickness and mating component requirements.

For post contact finish selection: Samtec ESD-118-G series variants feature gold-plated posts, while ESD-118-T series variants feature tin-plated posts. The original 76314-218 and 76314-218LF use tin-plated posts. Selection depends on solderability and corrosion resistance requirements.

All substitute parts maintain the critical parameters: 36 positions, 0.100" pitch, 2-row configuration, through-hole solder termination, push-pull fastening, and gold mating contacts. All parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76314-218LF be used as a direct replacement for the obsolete 76314-218?

A: Yes. The 76314-218LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, position count, pitch, row configuration, mounting type, termination method, and fastening type. The primary differences are RoHS compliance status and active product availability.

Q: What are the key differences between Amphenol ICC and Samtec alternatives?

A: The Amphenol ICC 76314-218LF maintains the original insulation height of 0.335" (8.51mm) and uses polyester glass-filled insulation. Samtec ESD-118 series connectors feature reduced insulation height of 0.300" (7.62mm) and use liquid crystal polymer (LCP) insulation. Both meet UL94 V-0 requirements. Contact material differs: Amphenol uses brass contacts while Samtec uses beryllium copper contacts.

Q: How do I select the correct Samtec ESD-118 variant?

A: Samtec ESD-118 variants are differentiated by contact post length and post finish. The suffix indicates post length: -03 (0.153"), -23 (0.115"), -26 (0.215"), -28/-08 (0.365"). The letter before the suffix indicates post finish: G for gold, T for tin. Select based on your PCB thickness and mating component requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The original 76314-218 is RoHS non-compliant. The 76314-218LF is RoHS compliant. The Preci-Dip 803-87-036-10-005101 and all Samtec ESD-118 series variants are ROHS3 compliant.

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

A: The 76314-218 and 76314-218LF are receptacle connectors. The Preci-Dip 803-87-036-10-005101 is a socket connector. Samtec ESD-118 series are elevated socket connectors. All three types accommodate the same mating interface with 36 positions at 0.100" pitch. The connector type designation reflects internal contact configuration and mating mechanism, not compatibility with standard 0.100" pitch headers.

Q: Can I mix and match post finishes in the same application?

A: Post finish selection (gold or tin) should be consistent within an application based on solderability and environmental requirements. Gold-plated posts (ESD-118-G series) provide enhanced corrosion resistance. Tin-plated posts (ESD-118-T series) offer standard solderability. Mixing finishes within a single assembly is not recommended.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The original 76314-218 and 76314-218LF do not specify current rating. The Preci-Dip 803-87-036-10-005101 specifies 3A current rating. Samtec ESD-118 series do not specify current rating. Consult manufacturer datasheets for specific application current requirements.
