Amphenol ICC 76382-408 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 76382-408 is a through-hole, right-angle rectangular connector header with 8 positions at 2.54mm pitch, designed for board-to-cable/wire applications. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The connector features shrouded 4-wall design with friction lock fastening and tin-lead plated contacts suitable for general-purpose interconnect requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 76382-408 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins, 8 positions
• Pitch Specification: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch
• Mounting & Orientation: Through-hole, right-angle mounting
• Fastening Mechanism: Friction lock retention
• Contact Material & Termination: Phosphor bronze with solder termination
• Insulation & Flammability: UL94 V-0 rated insulation material

The identified substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical parameters. Variations in shrouding design (4-wall vs. 2-wall), contact finish composition (tin-lead vs. tin vs. gold), contact dimensions, and compliance certifications are secondary considerations that do not prevent functional substitution in equivalent applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

76382-408LF (Amphenol ICC): Direct form-fit-function equivalent within the Dubox™ series. Maintains identical shrouding (4-wall), contact dimensions, and insulation material specifications. Transitions from tin-lead to tin contact finish and achieves RoHS compliance. Operating temperature range extends to 125°C. Recommended as primary substitute for direct replacement in active production.

281698-8 (TE Connectivity AMP): Cross-manufacturer equivalent from the HE13/HE14 series. Maintains core electrical and mechanical compatibility with 8-position, 2.54mm pitch, friction-lock configuration. Shrouding reduces to 2-wall design; contact mating length increases to 0.276" (7.00mm). Insulation material changes to thermoplastic. Operating temperature limited to 100°C. ROHS3 compliant. Suitable for applications where shrouding profile and contact length variations are acceptable.

281699-8 (TE Connectivity AMP): Cross-manufacturer equivalent with gold-plated mating contacts. Shares mechanical and electrical core specifications with 281698-8. Gold finish provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability in demanding environments. Operating temperature and dimensional specifications identical to 281698-8. RoHS compliant. Selection appropriate for applications requiring superior contact durability or corrosion resistance.

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, MSL 1 classification, and friction-lock fastening. Selection between alternatives depends on compliance requirements, thermal operating range, shrouding geometry constraints, and contact finish performance criteria specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 76382-408LF directly replace 76382-408 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 76382-408LF maintains identical form-fit-function within the Dubox™ series, including 4-wall shrouding, contact dimensions, and solder termination. The primary difference is transition from tin-lead to tin contact finish and achievement of RoHS compliance. No design modification is required.

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

A: The TE Connectivity parts (281698-8 and 281699-8) feature 2-wall shrouding versus the 4-wall design of Amphenol ICC connectors. Contact mating length increases from 5.00mm to 7.00mm, and insulation material changes from polyester glass-filled to thermoplastic. Operating temperature range reduces from 125°C to 100°C. These variations do not prevent functional substitution in equivalent applications but require verification of mechanical fit and thermal requirements.

Q: What is the difference between 281698-8 and 281699-8?

A: Both parts are mechanically and electrically identical within the HE13/HE14 series. The primary distinction is contact finish: 281698-8 features tin-plated mating contacts, while 281699-8 features gold-plated mating contacts with tin-plated posts. Gold plating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and contact reliability in high-reliability or corrosive environments.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The original 76382-408 is RoHS non-compliant. The 76382-408LF is RoHS compliant. The TE Connectivity parts (281698-8 and 281699-8) are ROHS3 and RoHS compliant, respectively. Selection depends on regulatory and compliance requirements for the target application.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: 76382-408 is supplied in standard packaging (not specified). 76382-408LF is supplied in tube packaging. TE Connectivity parts (281698-8 and 281699-8) are supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format may affect procurement, handling, and inventory management considerations.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably with mating connectors designed for the original part?

A: Compatibility depends on mating connector design specifications. All substitute parts maintain 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, male pin contact type, and friction-lock fastening. Verify that mating connectors accommodate the specific shrouding profile (4-wall vs. 2-wall) and contact dimensions of the selected substitute part.
