TE Connectivity 5-794634-0 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 5-794634-0 is a Micro MATE-N-LOK rectangular connector header designed for surface mount applications. This connector features 20 positions arranged in 2 rows with 0.118" (3.00mm) pitch spacing, male pin contact type, and shrouded 4-wall construction. The part is classified as obsolete, necessitating identification of active equivalent alternatives for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications to ensure direct interchangeability in board-to-cable/wire applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 5-794634-0 are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Number of positions (20)
• Number of rows (2)
• Pitch spacing (0.118" / 3.00mm)
• Row spacing (0.118" / 3.00mm)
• Voltage rating (250V)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C)

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Mounting type (Surface Mount)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Locking Ramp)
• Insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon)
• Insulation height (0.364" / 9.25mm)
• Contact shape (Square)
• Contact material (Brass)

Regulatory Compliance Parameters:

• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

Substitute parts must match all parameters listed above. Variations in contact finish specifications, contact finish thickness, or product status do not preclude substitution when all electrical and mechanical parameters remain identical.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 2-794635-0 is a direct electrical and mechanical equivalent to the 5-794634-0. All critical parameters for connector interchangeability are identical, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, mounting method, and operating specifications.

Product Status Consideration: The 5-794634-0 is classified as obsolete, while the 2-794635-0 is active. For new designs and ongoing production, the 2-794635-0 is the appropriate selection to ensure long-term component availability and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Consideration: The 5-794634-0 is RoHS compliant. The 2-794635-0 is RoHS non-compliant due to the Tin-Lead post finish. Applications subject to RoHS requirements must account for this compliance difference. The contact finish thickness on the mating surface of the 2-794635-0 (30.0µin) is doubled compared to the 5-794634-0 (15.0µin), providing enhanced durability in high-cycle mating applications.

Both parts are suitable for general purpose, industrial, and lighting applications within the specified electrical and thermal operating ranges.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 2-794635-0 be used as a direct replacement for the 5-794634-0 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 2-794635-0 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 5-794634-0. All connector parameters, including position count, pitch spacing, voltage rating, temperature range, and mounting configuration, are identical. The parts are interchangeable at the board and cable interface level.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finish specifications?

A: The 5-794634-0 features a Tin post finish with 100.0µin thickness and a 15.0µin gold mating finish. The 2-794635-0 features a Tin-Lead post finish with 100.0µin thickness and a 30.0µin gold mating finish. The increased gold thickness on the 2-794635-0 mating surface enhances contact durability and wear resistance in applications requiring frequent mating cycles.

Q: Are there RoHS compliance implications when substituting the 2-794635-0 for the 5-794634-0?

A: Yes. The 5-794634-0 is RoHS compliant, while the 2-794635-0 is RoHS non-compliant due to the Tin-Lead post finish. Applications subject to RoHS directives or customer requirements must evaluate this compliance difference before substitution.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The 5-794634-0 has 769 pieces in stock as new original inventory. The 2-794635-0 has 839 pieces in stock as new original inventory. Both parts are available for immediate procurement.

Q: Are the surface mount footprints identical between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are surface mount headers with identical insulation height (0.364" / 9.25mm), shrouded 4-wall construction, and solder termination. The PCB footprint and assembly process are identical.

Q: What applications are these connectors suitable for?

A: The 5-794634-0 is specified for general purpose applications. The 2-794635-0 is specified for general purpose, industrial, and lighting applications. Both operate within -40°C to 105°C temperature range and support 250V voltage rating.

Q: Is the Micro MATE-N-LOK series still in production?

A: The 5-794634-0 is obsolete. The 2-794635-0 is active and in current production. For new designs requiring this connector family, the 2-794635-0 ensures ongoing availability and manufacturer support.
