Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 76384-412 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (12)
• Pitch specification (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 2 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Insulation material class (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The 76384-412LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with these parameters. Differences in contact finish composition, finish thickness, insulation color, and compliance status do not affect functional interchangeability within the specified electrical and mechanical envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76384-412LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 76384-412. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical connector parameters, including pitch, position count, contact geometry, mounting method, and flammability rating.

The 76384-412LF offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. The substitute part carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original part does not. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements, the 76384-412LF is the appropriate selection.

The contact finish composition differs between the two parts: the original uses Tin-Lead plating while the substitute uses Tin plating. Both finishes are applied to copper alloy contacts and meet the same flammability and material standards. The substitute provides documented operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C) and current rating (3A), specifications not provided for the original part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76384-412LF be used as a direct replacement for the 76384-412?

A: Yes. The 76384-412LF is a direct substitute. Both parts are identical in connector type, contact configuration, pitch, position count, mounting method, shrouding, and termination. The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between Tin-Lead and Tin contact finishes?

A: The original 76384-412 uses Tin-Lead plating at 150.0µin thickness. The substitute 76384-412LF uses Tin plating at 78.7µin thickness. Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and solderability. The Tin finish in the substitute reflects lead-free manufacturing practices.

Q: Why is the 76384-412 listed as obsolete?

A: The 76384-412 has been superseded by the 76384-412LF. The newer part maintains full functional compatibility while offering active product status, RoHS compliance, and documented electrical specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The original 76384-412 packaging is not specified in the available data. The 76384-412LF is supplied in Tube packaging.

Q: Does the insulation color difference affect functionality?

A: No. The insulation color (Blue for 76384-412, Black for 76384-412LF) is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Both use identical thermoplastic, glass-filled insulation material with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage or handling.

Q: Are these parts suitable for lead-free soldering?

A: The 76384-412LF, with its Tin contact finish and RoHS compliance, is designed for lead-free soldering processes. The original 76384-412 uses Tin-Lead finish and is not RoHS compliant.
