Amphenol ICC 76357-301 Socket Contact Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 76357-301 is a rectangular connector socket contact designed for 22-30 AWG wire gauges with gold plating and crimp termination. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable alternatives essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part belongs to the DUBOX™, MezzSelect™, and Basics+ series within Amphenol ICC's rectangular connector portfolio. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent or substitute parts with active product status are necessary for new designs and component replenishment.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 76357-301 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Contact Type: Socket configuration required
• Termination Method: Crimp termination only
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 22-30 AWG or compatible subset (22-26 AWG acceptable)
• Contact Finish: Gold plating required
• Contact Finish Thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm) specification
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 1 (Unlimited) required

The substitute parts identified meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements while offering improved product status and compliance profiles.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

76357-301LF (Amphenol ICC): This part is the direct equivalent from the same manufacturer and series. It maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including wire gauge range (22-30 AWG), gold contact finish, and contact finish thickness (30.0µin). The primary advantage is active product status with RoHS compliance, making it suitable for new designs and applications requiring regulatory compliance. This is the preferred substitute for direct replacement.

1-87756-8 (TE Connectivity AMP Connectors): This socket contact from TE Connectivity's AMPMODU Mod IV series provides functional equivalence with gold plating and crimp termination. The wire gauge range is narrower (22-26 AWG subset of the original 22-30 AWG specification) and contact finish thickness matches at 30.0µin. Active product status supports ongoing availability. RoHS non-compliance status matches the original part. Selection of this substitute requires confirmation that the 22-26 AWG range accommodates the application's wire gauge requirements.

77315-428-26LF (Amphenol ICC): This part is not recommended as a direct substitute. While manufactured by Amphenol ICC, it is a header connector with male pins and solder termination, fundamentally different from the socket contact with crimp termination of the original part. Inclusion in the substitute list reflects data source information but does not indicate functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 76357-301LF be used as a direct replacement for 76357-301?

A: Yes. The 76357-301LF maintains identical specifications for socket configuration, crimp termination, wire gauge range (22-30 AWG), gold contact finish, and contact finish thickness (30.0µin). The primary differences are active product status and RoHS compliance, making it the preferred substitute.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge difference between 76357-301 (22-30 AWG) and 1-87756-8 (22-26 AWG)?

A: The 1-87756-8 supports a narrower wire gauge range. If the application requires termination of 28-30 AWG wires, the 1-87756-8 is not suitable. Confirm wire gauge requirements before selecting this substitute.

Q: Why is 77315-428-26LF listed as a substitute if it has different termination and contact type?

A: The 77315-428-26LF is included based on source data but does not meet substitution criteria. It is a header connector with male pins and solder termination, not a socket contact with crimp termination. This part is not functionally equivalent.

Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for component selection?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the part meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations, restricting lead and other hazardous materials. The 76357-301LF is RoHS compliant, while the original 76357-301 and 1-87756-8 are not. Selection depends on regulatory requirements for the end application.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting a substitute?

A: Yes. The 76357-301LF has 4,068 pieces in stock, 1-87756-8 has 18,758 pieces, and the original 76357-301 has 851 pieces. Availability may influence substitute selection for production timelines.
