Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part 76385-402LF is classified as a direct equivalent based on the following critical parameters that determine substitution validity:

• 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)
• Fastening mechanism (Friction Lock)
• Contact geometry (Square shape)
• Insulation material composition (Thermoplastic, Glass Filled)
• Flammability compliance (UL94 V-0)

The 76385-402LF maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, enabling direct substitution in applications requiring the Amphenol ICC 76385-402.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76385-402LF is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 76385-402. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The 76385-402 is classified as obsolete, while the 76385-402LF maintains active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (5721 units versus 787 units).

Compliance Posture: The 76385-402LF achieves RoHS compliance, whereas the original part is RoHS non-compliant. This distinction is material for applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements. The substitute also carries REACH Affected status compared to REACH Unaffected for the original part.

Contact Finish Specification: The primary difference between the parts is the contact finish composition. The 76385-402 uses Tin-Lead plating, while the 76385-402LF uses Tin plating. Both finishes are applied to copper alloy contacts with specified thickness values. The Tin finish in the substitute reflects modern lead-free manufacturing standards.

Mechanical and Electrical Interface: All critical mechanical parameters—pitch spacing, contact geometry, mounting configuration, shrouding design, and fastening mechanism—are identical between the two parts, ensuring direct functional compatibility.

Operational Specifications: The 76385-402LF provides documented operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C) and current rating (3A), parameters not specified for the obsolete part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76385-402LF be used as a direct replacement for the 76385-402 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 76385-402LF maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications. All critical parameters—connector type, position count, pitch spacing, mounting method, shrouding configuration, and contact geometry—are equivalent. The parts are mechanically and functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between Tin-Lead and Tin?

A: The 76385-402 uses Tin-Lead plating, while the 76385-402LF uses Tin plating. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance on copper alloy substrates. The Tin finish in the substitute reflects compliance with lead-free manufacturing standards and RoHS regulations.

Q: Why does the 76385-402LF have higher inventory availability?

A: The 76385-402LF is an active product with current manufacturing status, whereas the 76385-402 is obsolete. Active products maintain higher stock levels to support ongoing demand. The 76385-402LF inventory of 5721 units versus 787 units for the obsolete part reflects this production status difference.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the packaging difference?

A: The 76385-402LF is supplied in bulk packaging, while packaging information for the 76385-402 is not specified. Bulk packaging does not affect component functionality or mechanical compatibility. Packaging selection is determined by procurement and assembly process requirements.

Q: What compliance advantages does the 76385-402LF provide?

A: The 76385-402LF is RoHS compliant, whereas the 76385-402 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulatory requirements, the substitute part satisfies compliance obligations. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification.

Q: Are the operating temperature and current ratings of the 76385-402LF applicable to the original part?

A: The 76385-402LF specifies operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C) and current rating (3A). These specifications are not provided for the obsolete 76385-402. The substitute part's documented ratings represent the electrical and thermal performance envelope for this connector family.
