Amphenol ICC 76385-404 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Amphenol ICC 76385-404 is a shrouded rectangular connector header designed for through-hole mounting in board-to-cable/wire applications. This 8-position, 2-row connector operates at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and features tin-lead plated contacts with a friction lock fastening mechanism. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent components for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 76385-404LF qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical mechanical and electrical parameters: connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting method, shrouding design, and termination approach remain unchanged. Both parts belong to the Amphenol ICC Dubox™ series and maintain the same 8-position, 2-row header architecture with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and through-hole solder termination.

The substitution is valid across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Number of Positions: 8
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 2 Wall
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Friction Lock
• Contact Shape: Square
• Insulation Material: Thermoplastic, Glass Filled
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76385-404LF is the active production equivalent of the obsolete 76385-404. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical compatibility for board-to-cable/wire connector applications requiring 8-position, 2-row through-hole headers at 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch.

For new designs and ongoing production, the 76385-404LF is the appropriate selection due to its active product status and continued availability. The substitute part carries RoHS compliance certification, whereas the original 76385-404 is RoHS non-compliant. The 76385-404LF is REACH Affected, compared to the original part's REACH Unaffected status. Both components maintain identical moisture sensitivity levels and flammability ratings.

The contact finish differs between the two parts: the original uses tin-lead plating, while the substitute uses tin plating. This change reflects industry-wide transition toward lead-free manufacturing standards. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for the specified connector application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76385-404LF directly replace the 76385-404 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, and contact geometry. The 8-position, 2-row header with 0.100" (2.54mm) pitch and through-hole solder termination remains unchanged. PCB layouts and mating connector specifications require no modification.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 76385-404 is obsolete, while the 76385-404LF is an active production part. The substitute features tin plating instead of tin-lead plating and carries RoHS compliance certification. Mechanical and electrical performance characteristics are equivalent.

Q: Are there any compliance considerations when switching from 76385-404 to 76385-404LF?

A: The 76385-404LF is RoHS compliant, whereas the original 76385-404 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the substitute part satisfies compliance requirements. The 76385-404LF is REACH Affected, while the original is REACH Unaffected; compliance obligations depend on specific application and regional requirements.

Q: Does the change from tin-lead to tin plating affect performance?

A: No. Both contact finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and mechanical durability for this connector application. The transition to tin plating reflects industry-standard lead-free manufacturing practices.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 76385-404LF is supplied in bulk packaging. The original 76385-404 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data.

Q: Are the operating temperature and current ratings identical?

A: The 76385-404LF specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C and a current rating of 3A. The original 76385-404 does not provide these specifications in the available technical data. For applications requiring confirmed operating parameters, the 76385-404LF documentation provides explicit ratings.
