Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 76385-308 is based on electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 16-position, 2-row header with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and row spacing
• Physical Interface: Through-hole mounting with shrouded 2-wall design and square contact geometry
• Termination Method: Solder termination with friction lock fastening
• Material Specification: Thermoplastic, glass-filled insulation rated UL94 V-0
• Series Compatibility: Dubox™ series designation

The substitute part 76385-308LF maintains identical mechanical and electrical interfaces while offering improved compliance status and enhanced contact finish specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76385-308LF is the direct substitute for the obsolete 76385-308. Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical interfaces, ensuring pin-for-pin compatibility in existing designs.

Key Advantages of 76385-308LF:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and manufacturing support
• RoHS Compliant designation meets current regulatory requirements
• REACH Affected status indicates compliance with chemical substance regulations
• Enhanced contact finish with GXT™ technology on mating surfaces
• Tin finish on posts eliminates lead content, supporting environmental compliance
• Operating temperature range specified as -40°C ~ 125°C
• Current rating of 3A per contact

Compliance Considerations:

The 76385-308 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Unaffected, reflecting its obsolete status. The 76385-308LF addresses these compliance gaps while maintaining full mechanical and electrical compatibility. Both parts carry identical flammability ratings (UL94 V-0) and moisture sensitivity levels (MSL 1).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 76385-308 and 76385-308LF mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector configurations, mounting interfaces, and physical dimensions. The 16-position, 2-row header with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and shrouded 2-wall design ensures direct substitution in PCB layouts and mating connector applications.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finishes?

A: The 76385-308 uses Tin-Lead finish on posts, while the 76385-308LF uses Tin finish. Both maintain identical gold plating on mating surfaces at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. The lead-free post finish on the 76385-308LF supports RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: Does the GXT™ contact finish affect electrical performance?

A: The GXT™ enhancement on the 76385-308LF mating surface is a proprietary Amphenol ICC technology applied to the gold plating. It maintains the specified 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness and does not alter electrical characteristics or contact resistance specifications.

Q: What packaging is available for the 76385-308LF?

A: The 76385-308LF is supplied in Tube packaging, with 1177 pieces available in new original stock. The 76385-308 was supplied without specified packaging designation.

Q: Are there any temperature or current rating differences?

A: The 76385-308LF specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 125°C and a current rating of 3A per contact. The 76385-308 does not provide these specifications in its documentation, reflecting its obsolete status.

Q: Can I use the 76385-308LF in legacy designs originally specified for the 76385-308?

A: Yes. The 76385-308LF is a direct functional equivalent with improved compliance status. No design modifications are required for substitution in existing applications.
