Amphenol ICC 76384-309 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 76384-309 is a shrouded rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting in board-to-cable/wire applications. This 9-position connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features male pin contacts with gold-plated mating surfaces and tin-lead post finishes. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 76384-309LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
• Number of positions and row configuration (9 positions, 1 row)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method and termination (Through Hole, Solder)
• Physical dimensions (contact lengths, insulation height, overall contact length)
• Contact shape and material (Square, Copper Alloy)
• Insulation material and flammability rating (Thermoplastic Glass Filled, UL94 V-0)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 2 Wall)

The 76384-309LF maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility with the original 76384-309 across all specified dimensional and material parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76384-309LF is the direct active substitute for the obsolete 76384-309. Selection of the 76384-309LF is supported by the following factors:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support
• RoHS compliance of the 76384-309LF meets current regulatory requirements, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant
• Identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications guarantee drop-in compatibility
• Enhanced contact finish specification (GXT™ gold plating) on the 76384-309LF provides improved reliability
• Post finish change from tin-lead to tin aligns with lead-free manufacturing standards
• Specified operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C) and current rating (3A) on the 76384-309LF provide documented performance parameters

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76384-309LF be used as a direct replacement for the 76384-309?

A: Yes. The 76384-309LF maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications across all critical parameters including connector type, contact configuration, pitch, mounting method, and physical dimensions.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete vs. active), RoHS compliance status, contact finish specifications, and documented operating parameters. The 76384-309LF includes specified operating temperature range and current rating, whereas these are not documented for the original part.

Q: Are there packaging differences?

A: Yes. The 76384-309LF is supplied in tube packaging, whereas packaging information is not specified for the 76384-309.

Q: Does the change from tin-lead to tin post finish affect compatibility?

A: No. The post finish change does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility. The tin finish on the 76384-309LF aligns with lead-free manufacturing standards while maintaining solder joint reliability.

Q: What is the significance of the GXT™ gold plating on the 76384-309LF?

A: GXT™ represents an enhanced gold plating specification that maintains the same thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm) as the original part while providing improved contact reliability and corrosion resistance.

Q: Is the 76384-309LF suitable for new designs?

A: Yes. The active product status, RoHS compliance, and documented performance specifications make the 76384-309LF appropriate for new design implementations.
