Matching Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Pitch - Mating: 0.100" (2.54mm)
• Number of Positions: 4
• Number of Rows: 1
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Friction Lock
• Contact Material: Phosphor Bronze
• Contact Finish - Mating: Tin
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Functional Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical mating pitch, position count, mounting orientation, and electrical contact specifications, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in board-to-cable/wire applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement: The 78208-404HLF is the direct active substitute for the obsolete 95736-404. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for mating pitch, position count, contact configuration, and mounting orientation.

Compliance Considerations: The 78208-404HLF offers RoHS compliance, whereas the 95736-404 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or environmental compliance requirements, the 78208-404HLF is the appropriate selection.

Design Differences: The 78208-404HLF features reduced shrouding (2 wall versus 4 wall) and an enhanced insulation material (glass-filled PCT versus standard plastic). The substitute includes a keying slot feature and operates across a defined temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), providing additional design flexibility for temperature-sensitive applications.

Procurement Status: The 78208-404HLF maintains active production status with documented inventory availability, ensuring reliable long-term sourcing compared to the obsolete 95736-404.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 78208-404HLF directly replace the 95736-404 in existing designs? A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical mating pitch (0.100"), position count (4), contact configuration (male pin), mounting type (through-hole right-angle), and termination method (solder). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established through these core parameters.

Q: What is the significance of the shrouding difference (4 wall vs. 2 wall)? A: Shrouding provides mechanical protection and alignment during mating. The 95736-404 features 4-wall shrouding, while the 78208-404HLF features 2-wall shrouding. Both configurations maintain the same insulation height (0.203") and contact spacing, preserving mating compatibility. The reduced shrouding in the substitute may affect mechanical robustness in high-vibration environments.

Q: Does the insulation material change affect electrical performance? A: The 78208-404HLF uses glass-filled PCT insulation versus standard plastic in the 95736-404. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The glass-filled material provides enhanced thermal and mechanical properties, particularly beneficial for applications requiring higher operating temperatures.

Q: What is the keying slot feature in the 78208-404HLF? A: The keying slot is a mechanical feature that prevents incorrect mating orientation. This feature is present in the 78208-404HLF but not specified for the 95736-404. Keying does not affect electrical compatibility but provides additional assembly error prevention.

Q: Are there temperature rating implications for the substitute? A: The 78208-404HLF specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 105°C. The 95736-404 does not provide a specified operating temperature range. For applications operating within this range, the 78208-404HLF is suitable. For applications requiring operation outside this range, additional thermal analysis is required.

Q: What is the impact of RoHS compliance differences? A: The 78208-404HLF is RoHS compliant, while the 95736-404 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations (EU Directive 2011/65/EU and amendments), the 78208-404HLF is the required selection. For legacy or non-regulated applications, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging? A: The 95736-404 packaging is not specified. The 78208-404HLF is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification before finalizing the substitution.
