Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for rectangular connector headers is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The 350792-2 and 350792-3 share identical specifications across all critical dimensions and functional characteristics:

Matching Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Connector type, contact type, and contact shape
• Number of positions (4) and row configuration (1 row)
• Mating pitch (0.250" / 6.35mm)
• Mounting method (through hole) and termination type (solder)
• Shrouding configuration (shrouded - 4 wall) and fastening mechanism (locking ramp)
• Contact materials, finishes, and dimensions
• Insulation material, height, and color
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Series designation (Universal MATE-N-LOK)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format and regulatory compliance status, which do not affect functional interchangeability in circuit applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 350792-2 and 350792-3 are functionally equivalent rectangular connector headers within the Universal MATE-N-LOK series. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

350792-2 Selection Criteria:

• Applications where standard packaging is preferred
• Designs with existing procurement specifications for this part number
• Situations where inventory availability of 764 units meets project requirements

350792-3 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring ROHS3 compliance
• Projects with regulatory requirements for RoHS-compliant components
• High-volume production requiring bulk packaging format
• Designs where greater inventory availability (2283 units) provides supply chain advantages
• Applications where REACH compliance status requires vendor clarification

Both parts maintain Active product status and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The choice between them is determined by regulatory compliance requirements and packaging/inventory considerations rather than functional performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 350792-2 and 350792-3 interchangeable in circuit applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally equivalent rectangular connector headers with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. They share the same connector type, contact configuration, mating pitch, mounting method, termination type, and physical dimensions. Substitution is valid from a circuit design and assembly perspective.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are packaging format (standard versus bulk) and regulatory compliance status. The 350792-3 is ROHS3 compliant, while the 350792-2 is RoHS non-compliant. Both parts are functionally identical.

Q: Can I use the 350792-3 as a direct replacement for the 350792-2?

A: Yes. The 350792-3 can be used as a direct replacement. If your application or procurement requirements mandate RoHS compliance, the 350792-3 is the appropriate selection. If RoHS compliance is not a requirement, either part is suitable.

Q: Does the bulk packaging of the 350792-3 affect its performance?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect connector performance, electrical characteristics, or mechanical function. Bulk packaging is a supply and logistics consideration only.

Q: What is the mating pitch for these connectors?

A: The mating pitch is 0.250" (6.35mm) for both the 350792-2 and 350792-3. This specification determines compatibility with corresponding receptacle connectors in the Universal MATE-N-LOK series.

Q: Are these connectors suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: Operating temperature specifications are not provided in the available technical data for either part. Consult the complete datasheet or contact the manufacturer for thermal operating range information.

Q: What is the current and voltage rating for these connectors?

A: Current and voltage ratings are not specified in the available technical data. Refer to the complete product datasheet for electrical rating information.

Q: Why would I choose the 350792-2 if the 350792-3 is RoHS compliant?

A: Selection depends on specific application requirements. If RoHS compliance is not mandated by your design specifications or regulatory environment, the 350792-2 may be selected based on existing procurement practices, inventory availability, or cost considerations. Both parts are functionally equivalent.
