Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 106528-2 is based on the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

• Pin or Socket Configuration: Socket contact only
• Contact Termination Method: Crimp termination
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: 22-26 AWG
• Contact Finish Material: Tin
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS and REACH status
• Export Classification: ECCN EAR99
• Tariff Classification: HTSUS 8536.90.4000

The substitute part 794958-3 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct functional equivalence. The primary difference is the product status transition from obsolete to active, with packaging specified as Cut Tape (CT).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 794958-3 serves as the functional equivalent for the obsolete 106528-2 based on matching electrical and mechanical specifications. The substitute part maintains identical wire gauge compatibility (22-26 AWG), contact termination method (crimp), and contact finish material (tin). Both components satisfy identical regulatory requirements under RoHS and REACH frameworks with matching ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

The transition from AMP-DUAC series to VAL-U-LOK series represents a product line evolution by the manufacturer. The active product status of 794958-3 ensures continued availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete 106528-2.

Packaging specification for 794958-3 is Cut Tape (CT), which differs from the main part but does not affect functional performance in applications requiring socket contact connectors with crimp termination.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 794958-3 be used as a direct replacement for 106528-2?

A: Yes. Both components are socket contacts with identical wire gauge (22-26 AWG), crimp termination, and tin finish. All critical electrical and mechanical parameters match, enabling direct functional substitution.

Q: What is the significance of the series change from AMP-DUAC to VAL-U-LOK?

A: The series designation indicates product line classification within the TE Connectivity portfolio. The VAL-U-LOK series represents the current active product line for this connector type. The functional specifications remain equivalent across series designations.

Q: Does the Cut Tape (CT) packaging of 794958-3 affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format (Cut Tape) pertains to supply and handling only and does not impact the electrical or mechanical performance of the socket contact itself.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts comply with RoHS standards and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications. The main part specifies ROHS3 compliance while the substitute specifies RoHS compliance; both designations satisfy current regulatory requirements.

Q: Why is 106528-2 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support. The 794958-3 represents the current active equivalent within the manufacturer's product portfolio.

Q: What is Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has no moisture sensitivity restrictions and requires no special handling, storage, or baking procedures prior to assembly.
