Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 794615-2 be used as a direct replacement for 3-794615-2?

A: Yes. The 794615-2 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 3-794615-2 across all critical connector parameters. Both are 2-position Micro MATE-N-LOK plug housings with identical row spacing, mounting configuration, and termination method.

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

A: The primary difference is product status. The 3-794615-2 is obsolete, while the 794615-2 is active and currently manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. The 794615-2 is available in bulk packaging.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 3-794615-2 carries RoHS3 Compliant status, and the 794615-2 carries RoHS Compliant status. Both satisfy regulatory requirements for electronic component applications.

Q: What is the row spacing specification for these connectors?

A: The row spacing is 0.118" (3.00mm) for both the 3-794615-2 and 794615-2. This specification defines the distance between the two rows of contact positions.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. Both the 3-794615-2 and 794615-2 are connector housings only. Male pin contacts must be sourced separately and installed using the crimp termination method.

Q: What mounting configuration do these connectors support?

A: Both connectors support panel mount, snap-in mounting. The snap-in fastening mechanism allows for tool-free installation and removal from panel cutouts.

Q: What is the fastening mechanism for these connectors?

A: Both connectors utilize a locking ramp fastening type, which provides secure mechanical retention and electrical connection stability.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These components can be stored and handled without special moisture control measures.
