76314-218LF Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The 76314-218LF is a 36-position rectangular receptacle connector manufactured by Amphenol ICC (FCI) from the BergCon® series. This through-hole, board-to-board connector features 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch spacing, gold-plated mating contacts, and solder termination. The part is active in production and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for applications requiring reliable interconnection in PCB assemblies.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part's specifications, enabling direct replacement in compatible applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 76314-218LF is determined by the following critical parameters:

• 36-position connector configuration
• 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing
• Through-hole solder termination
• Push-pull fastening mechanism
• 2-row layout with 0.335" (8.51mm) insulation height
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• RoHS compliance status

The identified substitutes maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in connector type (receptacle vs. header), contact material, contact finish composition, and insulation material are secondary parameters that do not prevent functional substitution when mating with compatible counterparts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitutes maintain active production status and comply with RoHS3 requirements, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory compliance.

PPPC182LFBN-RC (Sullins Connector Solutions): This header connector matches the gold mating contact finish of the main part. It provides equivalent electrical performance with 3A current rating and 250V voltage rating. The phosphor bronze contact material and polyester insulation differ from the main part but remain within acceptable substitution parameters for the 36-position, 0.100" pitch configuration.

PPTC182LFBN-RC (Sullins Connector Solutions): This header connector features tin mating contact finish instead of gold. It maintains identical pitch, row spacing, and insulation height specifications. The 3A current rating and 250V voltage rating are specified. This substitute is suitable for applications where tin finish is acceptable and cost optimization is a consideration.

SSW-118-01-F-D (Samtec Inc.): This receptacle connector from the SSW series matches the main part's receptacle configuration and gold mating contact finish. It features forked contact geometry and phosphor bronze material. The extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C) and higher current rating (4.7A per contact) provide enhanced performance margins. The liquid crystal polymer insulation material offers superior thermal and mechanical properties compared to the main part's polyester-based insulation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can PPPC182LFBN-RC and PPTC182LFBN-RC header connectors directly replace the 76314-218LF receptacle connector?

A: These Sullins header connectors are not direct pin-for-pin replacements for the receptacle. They are substitutes for applications where a header connector is functionally equivalent. The mating interface and connector orientation differ. Selection depends on the specific application's connector topology requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between PPPC182LFBN-RC and PPTC182LFBN-RC?

A: The primary difference is the mating contact finish. PPPC182LFBN-RC features gold plating on mating contacts, while PPTC182LFBN-RC features tin plating. Both maintain identical pitch, position count, and electrical ratings. Contact finish selection depends on application requirements for corrosion resistance and signal integrity.

Q: Does SSW-118-01-F-D offer advantages over the main part?

A: SSW-118-01-F-D maintains the same receptacle configuration and gold mating finish as the 76314-218LF. It provides an extended operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C versus unspecified for the main part) and higher current rating per contact (4.7A versus unspecified). The forked contact design and liquid crystal polymer insulation offer enhanced mechanical durability and thermal performance.

Q: Are all substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The main part is RoHS Compliant, and all three substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant, ensuring regulatory alignment for current and future applications.

Q: What packaging differences exist among these parts?

A: The 76314-218LF and SSW-118-01-F-D are supplied in bulk packaging. PPPC182LFBN-RC and PPTC182LFBN-RC are supplied in tray packaging. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility but may influence procurement and handling procedures.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably in existing designs?

A: Interchangeability depends on the specific application design. All parts share the same 36-position, 0.100" pitch configuration and through-hole solder termination. However, connector type differences (receptacle vs. header) and contact finish variations require design-level evaluation to confirm functional equivalence in the target application.
