Amphenol ICC 76382-409 Rectangular Connector - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 76382-409 is a shrouded right-angle header connector with 9 positions at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch, designed for through-hole board-to-cable/wire applications. This part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing design support and procurement planning. The connector features a 4-wall shrouded design with friction lock fastening and tin-lead contact finish.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 76382-409 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Must be Header
• Contact Type: Must be Male Pin
• Number of Positions: Must be 9
• Pitch - Mating: Must be 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Must be Through Hole, Right Angle
• Shrouding: Must be Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Termination: Must be Solder
• Insulation Material: Must be Polyester, Glass Filled
• Material Flammability Rating: Must be UL94 V-0

The primary substitute identified is 76382-409LF, which maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters while offering improved compliance status. The part 87606-302LF is listed in the original substitute field but does not meet substitution criteria due to fundamental differences in connector type (receptacle vs. header), contact type (female socket vs. male pin), position count (4 vs. 9), and mounting configuration (board-to-board vs. board-to-cable/wire).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76382-409LF is the direct functional equivalent of the obsolete 76382-409. Both connectors share identical mechanical dimensions, contact geometry, and mounting configuration. The primary differences are:

Contact Finish: The 76382-409LF uses pure tin finish (78.7µin / 2.00µm) compared to the tin-lead finish (150.0µin / 3.81µm) of the original part. This change reflects modern manufacturing standards and environmental compliance requirements.

Compliance Status: The 76382-409LF is RoHS Compliant and carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support. The original 76382-409 is RoHS non-compliant and obsolete.

Operating Specifications: The 76382-409LF provides documented operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C) and current rating (3A), parameters not specified for the original part.

Packaging: The 76382-409LF is supplied in Tube packaging, compared to the original part's unspecified packaging.

For new designs or replacement applications, the 76382-409LF is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems requiring exact tin-lead contact finish, compatibility assessment with the tin finish alternative is necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76382-409LF directly replace the 76382-409 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 76382-409LF maintains identical mechanical dimensions, contact geometry, pitch, position count, and mounting configuration. The primary change is the contact finish material (tin vs. tin-lead), which does not affect mechanical compatibility or standard electrical performance in most applications.

Q: Why is the contact finish different between the two parts?

A: The shift from tin-lead to pure tin reflects compliance with RoHS regulations and modern manufacturing practices. Pure tin finish is functionally equivalent for standard connector applications and provides superior environmental compliance.

Q: Is the 76382-409LF available in the same packaging as the original?

A: The 76382-409LF is supplied in Tube packaging. The original 76382-409 packaging specification was not provided. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement and assembly processes.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" designation in 76382-409LF?

A: The "LF" suffix indicates lead-free construction, confirming RoHS compliance and the use of lead-free solder-compatible finishes.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between the 76382-409 and 76382-409LF?

A: Both connectors are rated for identical mechanical and electrical parameters within their specified operating ranges. The 76382-409LF provides documented specifications: -40°C ~ 125°C operating temperature and 3A current rating.

Q: Why is the 87606-302LF listed as a substitute but not recommended?

A: The 87606-302LF is a 4-position receptacle connector with female sockets, designed for board-to-board applications. It does not meet the substitution criteria for the 76382-409, which is a 9-position header with male pins for board-to-cable/wire applications. These are fundamentally different connector types.
