TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-794598-2 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-794598-2 is a 22-position rectangular connector housing designed for panel mount, snap-in applications with a 0.165" (4.20mm) pitch configuration. This connector operates as a plug housing with male pin contact termination and crimp fastening via locking ramp mechanism.

The 2-794598-2 is classified as obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute rectangular connectors with matching electrical and mechanical parameters is necessary to maintain design compatibility and ensure continued availability for applications requiring 22-position AMP-DUAC series housings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 2-794598-2 are qualified based on strict parametric equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical dimensions. The following parameters determine substitution eligibility:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Plug)
• Number of positions (22)
• Pitch configuration (0.165" / 4.20mm)
• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing (0.165" / 4.20mm)
• Mounting type (Panel Mount, Snap-In)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Fastening type (Locking Ramp)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The substitute parts 2-794953-2 and 2-1969599-2 satisfy all critical parameters. Both are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications required for direct substitution in rectangular connector applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

2-794953-2 (VAL-U-LOK Series)

The 2-794953-2 is an active product with RoHS compliance certification. This substitute maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters required for direct substitution. The connector is available in bulk packaging with 819 units in current inventory. The VAL-U-LOK series housing provides equivalent functionality to the obsolete AMP-DUAC series for 22-position rectangular connector applications.

2-1969599-2 (VAL-U-LOK Series)

The 2-1969599-2 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance certification, representing the most current regulatory status. This substitute maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters and is available in bulk packaging with 791 units in current inventory. The insulation material specification (Polyamide PA66 / Nylon 6/6) provides enhanced material definition compared to the general polyamide specification of 2-794953-2.

Both substitute parts are suitable for applications requiring 22-position rectangular connectors with 0.165" pitch, panel mount snap-in configuration, and crimp termination. Selection between the two substitutes depends on specific regulatory compliance requirements and material specification preferences for the end application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 2-794953-2 and 2-1969599-2 be used interchangeably with 2-794598-2?

A: Both substitute parts satisfy all critical electrical and mechanical parameters specified for the 2-794598-2. The 22-position count, 0.165" pitch, 2-row configuration, panel mount snap-in mounting, crimp termination, and locking ramp fastening are identical across all three part numbers. Direct substitution is supported based on parametric equivalence.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 2-794953-2 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while 2-1969599-2 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. The 2-1969599-2 specifies Polyamide PA66 (Nylon 6/6) insulation material, whereas 2-794953-2 specifies general Polyamide (PA) Nylon. Both parts are active products with current inventory availability.

Q: Why is the original 2-794598-2 marked as obsolete?

A: The 2-794598-2 is classified as obsolete product status. The substitute parts 2-794953-2 and 2-1969599-2 from the VAL-U-LOK series represent the current active product line for equivalent 22-position rectangular connector housings with matching specifications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: Both substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. The 2-794953-2 has 819 units in current inventory, while 2-1969599-2 has 791 units in current inventory. The original 2-794598-2 packaging specification was not provided in the technical data.

Q: Do the substitute parts include contacts?

A: No. All three part numbers (2-794598-2, 2-794953-2, and 2-1969599-2) are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be sourced separately for complete connector assembly.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these connectors?

A: The substitute parts 2-794953-2 and 2-1969599-2 operate across -40°C to 105°C. The operating temperature specification for the original 2-794598-2 was not provided in the technical documentation.

Q: Are these connectors RoHS compliant?

A: The 2-794953-2 is RoHS Compliant. The 2-1969599-2 is ROHS3 Compliant, representing the current regulatory standard. The RoHS status for the original 2-794598-2 was not specified in the technical data.
