Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the 76385-306 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions and rows (12 positions, 2 rows)
• Pitch specifications (0.100" mating pitch, 0.100" row spacing)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 2 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening mechanism (Friction Lock)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Insulation material class (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The 76385-306LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with these parameters. The primary distinction lies in product status (active vs. obsolete) and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76385-306LF serves as the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 76385-306. Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility in board-level applications.

Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and compliance requirements:

The 76385-306LF is the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing procurement due to its active product status and RoHS compliance certification. This part satisfies modern regulatory frameworks and ensures long-term component availability.

The 76385-306 remains suitable only for legacy system maintenance where existing inventory is available and RoHS non-compliance does not conflict with application requirements or regional regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 76385-306 and 76385-306LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, mounting footprints, and contact configurations. Direct substitution is possible without PCB redesign.

Q: What is the significance of the "LF" suffix in the 76385-306LF part number?

A: The "LF" designation indicates lead-free compliance, reflecting the RoHS-compliant formulation of the contact finish and solder termination materials.

Q: Can the 76385-306 be used in applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: No. The 76385-306 is explicitly RoHS non-compliant. Applications subject to RoHS regulations must use the 76385-306LF.

Q: What are the differences in contact finish between these parts?

A: The 76385-306 features tin-lead post finish (150.0µin thickness). The 76385-306LF uses tin post finish (78.7µin thickness) with gold mating finish enhanced by GXT™ technology. Both maintain the 30.0µin gold mating finish on the contact interface.

Q: Is the 76385-306LF available in bulk packaging?

A: Yes. The 76385-306LF is supplied in bulk packaging with 1350 pieces in current stock inventory.

Q: What operating temperature range applies to these connectors?

A: The 76385-306LF operates across -40°C to 125°C. Operating temperature specifications for the 76385-306 are not provided in the technical data.

Q: What is the current rating for these connectors?

A: The 76385-306LF is rated for 3A per contact. Current rating specifications for the 76385-306 are not provided in the technical data.
