Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The 93696-308LF serves as a direct functional equivalent to the 93696-308. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain identical:

• Connector type: Receptacle, Bottom or Top Entry
• Number of positions: 16
• Pitch spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of rows: 2
• Row spacing: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Contact type: Female Socket
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Termination method: Solder
• Contact finish - mating: Gold
• Fastening type: Push-Pull
• Insulation material: Thermoplastic, Glass Filled
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0

The 93696-308LF maintains all these parameters while offering improved compliance status and active product availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 93696-308LF is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 93696-308. Selection of the 93696-308LF is supported by the following factors:

• All electrical and mechanical parameters are identical to the original part
• The substitute maintains the same connector geometry, pitch spacing, and contact configuration
• RoHS compliance status differs: 93696-308LF is RoHS Compliant, while 93696-308 is RoHS non-compliant
• REACH status differs: 93696-308LF is REACH Affected, while 93696-308 is REACH Unaffected
• Product status: 93696-308LF is Active, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Packaging format differs: 93696-308LF is supplied in Tube packaging versus bulk for the original
• Both parts share identical flammability rating (UL94 V-0) and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

For new designs or replacement procurement, the 93696-308LF provides equivalent functionality with improved regulatory compliance and active product status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 93696-308LF be used as a direct replacement for the 93696-308?

A: Yes. The 93696-308LF maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications including connector type, position count, pitch spacing, contact configuration, and termination method. Both parts are from the Dubox™ series and share the same base product number (93696).

Q: What is the difference between the 93696-308 and 93696-308LF?

A: The primary differences are product status, compliance certifications, and packaging. The 93696-308LF is an active product with RoHS compliance and REACH affected status, while the 93696-308 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant. The 93696-308LF is packaged in Tube format, whereas the 93696-308 is supplied in bulk.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 93696-308LF for the 93696-308?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both connectors feature identical mating pitch (0.100"), row spacing (0.100"), contact type (female socket), mounting method (through hole), and termination (solder). PCB footprints and mating interfaces are identical.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect the connector specifications?

A: No. Packaging format (Tube versus bulk) does not affect connector electrical or mechanical performance. The change in packaging is a supply and handling consideration only.

Q: What compliance advantages does the 93696-308LF offer?

A: The 93696-308LF is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, compared to the 93696-308 which is RoHS non-compliant and REACH Unaffected. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, the 93696-308LF meets compliance requirements.

Q: Is the 93696-308LF suitable for automotive, industrial, and telecommunications applications?

A: Yes. The 93696-308LF is rated for automotive, general purpose, industrial, and telecommunications applications, identical to the original 93696-308.
