Amphenol ICC 76384-315 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 76384-315 is a shrouded vertical rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting in board-to-cable/wire applications. This 15-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 planning. The primary substitute maintains functional compatibility while offering improved compliance status and material specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 76384-315LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters. Substitution is valid where the following criteria are met:

• Identical connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), and position count (15)
• Matching pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Identical mounting method (Through Hole) and shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 2 Wall)
• Matching contact geometry (Square shape) and overall dimensions
• Equivalent insulation material and flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Compatible termination method (Solder)

The substitute part differs in product status (Active vs. Obsolete), RoHS compliance, contact finish specifications, and packaging format, but these differences do not affect functional interchangeability in the connector interface.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76384-315LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 76384-315. Selection of the substitute part is appropriate based on the following factors:

• The main part is classified as obsolete, limiting long-term availability and procurement viability
• The substitute maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring drop-in compatibility
• The substitute achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the main part does not
• Both parts carry identical REACH and ECCN classifications, maintaining regulatory consistency
• The substitute is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability

No additional technical criteria beyond those provided in the parameter specifications should be introduced into the selection decision.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76384-315LF be used as a direct replacement for the 76384-315?

A: Yes. The 76384-315LF maintains identical connector interface specifications, including pitch, position count, contact geometry, mounting method, and shrouding configuration. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable at the connector interface level.

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 on the post (tin-lead vs. tin), and packaging format (tube for the substitute). These differences do not affect connector interface compatibility.

Q: Does the change in contact finish affect performance?

A: The contact finish differences are limited to the post termination surface. The mating contact surface finish remains gold-plated in both parts. Post finish changes do not affect the connector mating interface.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 76384-315 is supplied without specified packaging, while the 76384-315LF is supplied in tube packaging. This affects handling and storage but does not alter the connector specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when switching to the substitute?

A: The substitute achieves RoHS compliance, which may be beneficial for new designs or applications with RoHS requirements. Both parts maintain identical REACH and ECCN classifications.

Q: What is the current availability status?

A: The main part (76384-315) is obsolete with 1003 pieces in stock. The substitute (76384-315LF) is active with 2537 pieces in stock, providing superior long-term procurement viability.
