TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-794616-4 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 2-794616-4 is a 24-position rectangular connector housing designed for the Micro MATE-N-LOK series. This plug housing accommodates male pin contacts with a 0.118" (3.00mm) pitch configuration and is rated for operating temperatures between -40°C and 105°C. The connector features a locking ramp fastening mechanism and is suitable for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications. This part is currently active in production status with RoHS compliance certification. Equivalent substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical and mechanical parameters to ensure functional interchangeability in applications requiring 24-position rectangular connector housings with identical pitch, row configuration, and termination specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 2-794616-4 are identified through parametric equivalence based on the following critical matching criteria:

Electrical Parameters:

• 24-position contact capacity
• 0.118" (3.00mm) contact pitch
• Male pin contact type
• Crimp termination method
• Locking ramp fastening mechanism

Mechanical Parameters:

• 2-row configuration with 0.118" (3.00mm) row spacing
• Plug connector type
• Free-hanging, in-line mounting orientation
• Black insulation material color

Environmental Parameters:

• Operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited)

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS compliance status
• ECCN classification EAR99
• HTSUS code 8536.69.8000

Substitute parts must match all electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters without exception. Variations in series designation, manufacturer identity, or base product number do not affect functional interchangeability when all specified parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 2-794616-4 and Molex 0430202401 are active production components with full regulatory compliance. Selection between these equivalent parts should be based on the following factors:

Compliance Considerations: The TE Connectivity part carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the Molex substitute carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both meet current regulatory requirements. The Molex part specifies halogen-free polyamide material, which may be advantageous in applications with specific material composition requirements.

Availability and Inventory: The Molex 0430202401 substitute maintains higher inventory availability (1994 pieces) compared to the TE Connectivity 2-794616-4 (902 pieces), which may influence lead time considerations in procurement planning.

Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are identical between the two parts. Both support 24-position, 0.118" (3.00mm) pitch configurations with identical row spacing, mounting orientation, and operating temperature specifications. Contact termination and fastening mechanisms are functionally equivalent.

Material Specification: The Molex substitute explicitly specifies halogen-free material composition, which may be required in applications subject to specific environmental or safety standards. The TE Connectivity part material specification does not explicitly reference halogen-free status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the TE Connectivity 2-794616-4 and Molex 0430202401 directly interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are parametrically equivalent across all critical electrical and mechanical specifications. They share identical pitch (0.118" / 3.00mm), position count (24), row configuration (2 rows), contact type (male pin), termination method (crimp), and fastening mechanism (locking ramp). Operating temperature ranges and moisture sensitivity levels are identical.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching: connector type (plug), contact type (male pin), number of positions (24), pitch (0.118" / 3.00mm), number of rows (2), row spacing (0.118" / 3.00mm), mounting type (free hanging in-line), contact termination (crimp), fastening type (locking ramp), and operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C).

Q: Do these connectors include contacts?

A: No. Both the TE Connectivity 2-794616-4 and Molex 0430202401 are connector housings only. Contacts must be procured separately and are not included with these parts.

Q: What is the difference in material composition between the two parts?

A: The TE Connectivity part specifies polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 material. The Molex substitute specifies polyamide (PA) nylon with explicit halogen-free designation. Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The TE Connectivity part carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the Molex part carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. Both meet current regulatory standards. The Molex part explicitly specifies halogen-free material composition.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Can I use these connectors in applications requiring halogen-free materials?

A: The Molex 0430202401 explicitly specifies halogen-free material composition and is suitable for applications with halogen-free requirements. The TE Connectivity 2-794616-4 material specification does not explicitly reference halogen-free status.

Q: What mounting orientation do these connectors support?

A: Both connectors are designed for free-hanging, in-line mounting applications. They are not suitable for panel-mount or right-angle configurations.

Q: Are these parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: Yes. Both the TE Connectivity 2-794616-4 and Molex 0430202401 are rated for identical operating temperatures of -40°C to 105°C.
