Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 76385-409 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header with male pins
• Position Count & Row Configuration: 18 positions arranged in 2 rows
• Pitch Specifications: 0.100" (2.54mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Mechanical Interface: Shrouded 2-wall design with square contact shape
• Material & Environmental Compliance: Thermoplastic glass-filled insulation, UL94 V-0 rating, MSL 1

The substitute part 76385-409LF maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring direct functional equivalence for PCB footprint and mating connector compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 76385-409LF serves as the direct active substitute for the obsolete 76385-409. Both parts share identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility and mating connector interchangeability.

Key differentiation factors:

Product Status: The 76385-409LF carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain support. The 76385-409 is obsolete and subject to inventory depletion.

Regulatory Compliance: The 76385-409LF is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, meeting current environmental regulations. The 76385-409 is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Unaffected, reflecting its legacy status.

Contact Finish: The 76385-409LF features pure tin plating (78.7µin / 2.00µm) on both mating and post contacts, replacing the tin-lead finish of the original part. Tin plating provides equivalent electrical performance and improved environmental compliance.

Operational Specifications: The 76385-409LF provides documented operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 125°C) and current rating (3A), enabling precise thermal and electrical design validation.

For new designs or production transitions, the 76385-409LF is the specified equivalent part. For legacy system maintenance requiring the exact original part, inventory availability of the 76385-409 should be verified with the supplier.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 76385-409LF be used as a direct replacement for the 76385-409 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical mechanical dimensions, pitch specifications (0.100" / 2.54mm), contact configuration (18 positions, 2 rows), mounting type (through-hole), and shrouding design (2-wall). PCB footprints and mating connector interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What is the difference between the tin-lead finish on the 76385-409 and the tin finish on the 76385-409LF?

A: The 76385-409 uses tin-lead plating (196.9µin / 5.00µm mating, 150.0µin / 3.81µm post). The 76385-409LF uses pure tin plating (78.7µin / 2.00µm on both mating and post contacts). Both finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and contact reliability. Tin plating aligns with RoHS compliance requirements.

Q: Why does the 76385-409LF have different insulation color (black vs. blue)?

A: Insulation color is a cosmetic identifier and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Both parts use identical thermoplastic, glass-filled insulation material rated UL94 V-0.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 76385-409LF is supplied in tube packaging, suitable for automated assembly and high-volume production. The 76385-409 packaging specification is not provided. Tube packaging does not affect connector performance or compatibility.

Q: Is the 76385-409LF suitable for applications requiring the original part's specifications?

A: Yes, provided the application does not specifically require tin-lead plating or legacy RoHS non-compliant status. The 76385-409LF meets or exceeds the electrical and mechanical requirements of the original part and provides documented operating temperature and current ratings.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for both parts?

A: Both the 76385-409 and 76385-409LF carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.
