TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1586945-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1586945-1 is a 2-position rectangular connector receptacle housing from the Universal MATE-N-LOK series. This component is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for ongoing procurement and system integration. The connector features panel mount, snap-in installation with crimp contact termination and locking ramp fastening. Substitute parts must maintain functional compatibility across connector type, position count, row configuration, mounting method, and termination approach.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 1586945-1 are identified based on strict parametric equivalence across the following critical specifications:

Maintained Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Connector Type: Receptacle
• Number of Positions: 2
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.163" (4.14mm)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Snap-In
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Color: Natural
• RoHS Compliance: Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

Acceptable Variations:

• Series designation (Universal MATE-N-LOK to Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK)
• Insulation material composition (PA to PA66 or PA6 variants)
• Operating temperature range (narrower range acceptable for substitute)
• Product status (active substitutes preferred over obsolete)
• Packaging format (bulk packaging acceptable)

The substitute parts 794896-1 and 794896-3 maintain all critical mechanical and electrical parameters required for direct functional replacement while offering active product status and improved supply availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: 794896-1

The 794896-1 is the preferred substitute for the obsolete 1586945-1. Both parts maintain identical mechanical specifications including connector type, position count, row configuration, row spacing, mounting method, contact termination, and fastening mechanism. The 794896-1 carries active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. RoHS compliance is maintained. The operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 90°C is narrower than the original part; applications requiring the extended -55°C lower temperature limit require thermal performance verification against system requirements.

Secondary Substitute: 794896-3

The 794896-3 provides an alternative substitute with identical mechanical and electrical parameters to 794896-1. This part carries ROHS3 compliance, representing the most current regulatory standard. The operating temperature range matches 794896-1 at -40°C ~ 90°C. Selection between 794896-1 and 794896-3 depends on regulatory requirements specific to the end application and supply chain preferences.

Temperature Consideration

Applications operating below -40°C require evaluation of system thermal requirements. The original 1586945-1 supports operation to -55°C; substitute parts are rated to -40°C minimum. System designs with thermal margins above -40°C operate within substitute part specifications without modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 794896-1 and 794896-3 be used interchangeably with 1586945-1?

A: Both substitute parts maintain all critical mechanical and electrical parameters required for functional replacement. The primary difference is operating temperature range. The original part supports -55°C to 105°C; substitutes support -40°C to 90°C. Interchangeability is confirmed for applications within the -40°C to 90°C range.

Q: What is the difference between 794896-1 and 794896-3?

A: Both parts share identical mechanical specifications, connector configuration, and operating temperature range. The primary difference is insulation material composition: 794896-1 uses PA66 (Nylon 6/6) while 794896-3 uses PA6 (Nylon 6). Additionally, 794896-3 carries ROHS3 compliance versus RoHS compliance for 794896-1. Material selection depends on application-specific chemical resistance and mechanical property requirements.

Q: Why is the operating temperature range narrower for substitute parts?

A: The substitute parts are from the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK series, which has different material and design specifications than the Universal MATE-N-LOK series of the original part. The narrower temperature range reflects the thermal performance characteristics of the Mini-Universal series components.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts (1586945-1, 794896-1, and 794896-3) are connector housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and are not included with the housing.

Q: What is the significance of MSL Level 1?

A: Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) indicates these components have unlimited shelf life and do not require special moisture control during storage or handling. No baking or desiccant storage is required prior to assembly.

Q: Are these parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1586945-1 is RoHS Compliant. The 794896-1 is RoHS Compliant. The 794896-3 is ROHS3 Compliant. All three parts meet RoHS regulatory requirements.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: The original 1586945-1 is available in standard packaging. Substitute parts 794896-1 and 794896-3 are supplied in bulk packaging format, which may affect procurement quantities and handling procedures.
