Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 76385-302LF is classified as a direct manufacturer equivalent based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
• Position count and row configuration (4 positions, 2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.100" / 2.54mm)
• Mounting method and termination (Through Hole, Solder)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 2 Wall)
• Contact geometry (Square shape)
• Insulation material and flammability rating (Thermoplastic Glass Filled, UL94 V-0)

The 76385-302LF represents an active product variant with improved compliance characteristics and enhanced contact finish specifications, making it suitable for direct substitution in applications where the original obsolete part is no longer available.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76385-302LF is the direct active substitute for the obsolete 76385-302. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering considerations:

Product Status: The main part 76385-302 is obsolete, while 76385-302LF maintains active product status with ongoing manufacturer support and availability.

Compliance Posture: The substitute part 76385-302LF is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, representing current regulatory alignment. The original part 76385-302 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Unaffected, reflecting legacy compliance status.

Contact Finish Enhancement: The substitute incorporates GXT™ gold plating technology on mating contacts, providing enhanced durability compared to standard gold plating on the original part. Post-side termination changes from Tin-Lead to Tin, aligning with lead-free manufacturing standards.

Operational Specifications: The substitute part provides explicit operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C) and current rating (3A), enabling precise application verification. The original part does not specify these parameters.

Mechanical and Electrical Compatibility: All critical dimensional and electrical parameters remain identical between the main part and substitute, ensuring direct form-fit-function replacement in existing designs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 76385-302LF be used as a direct replacement for 76385-302 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 76385-302LF maintains identical connector type, position count, pitch spacing, mounting method, shrouding configuration, and contact geometry. All critical mechanical and electrical parameters are equivalent, enabling direct substitution without design modification.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" designation in part number 76385-302LF?

A: The "LF" suffix indicates lead-free termination and RoHS compliance. This designation reflects the transition from the legacy Tin-Lead post finish of the original part to the Tin post finish of the substitute, aligning with current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish between these parts?

A: Both parts feature 30.0µin (0.76µm) gold plating on mating contacts. The substitute incorporates GXT™ technology for enhanced contact durability. Post-side finish differs: the original uses Tin-Lead (150.0µin / 3.81µm), while the substitute uses Tin (78.7µin / 2.00µm).

Q: What are the packaging differences?

A: The original part 76385-302 packaging is not specified. The substitute 76385-302LF is supplied in Bulk packaging.

Q: Does the insulation color change affect functionality?

A: No. The insulation color change from Blue to Black is a cosmetic variation and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Both parts use identical Thermoplastic Glass Filled material with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: What operating conditions does the substitute part support?

A: The 76385-302LF is rated for -40°C to 125°C operating temperature with a 3A current rating per contact. The original part does not specify these parameters.

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

A: The substitute part is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, representing current regulatory alignment. If your application or supply chain requires specific compliance status, verify that 76385-302LF meets your regulatory requirements before implementation.
