Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 5-794620-4 serves as a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 5-794679-4 connector header. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the Micro MATE-N-LOK series and maintain complete electrical and mechanical compatibility across all specified parameters.

Product Status Consideration: The 5-794679-4 is classified as obsolete, while the 5-794620-4 maintains active product status. For new designs and ongoing production requirements, the 5-794620-4 is the appropriate selection to ensure continued component availability and manufacturer support.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts satisfy UL94 V-0 material flammability requirements and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification. The 5-794620-4 carries ROHS3 compliance, which supersedes the RoHS Compliant designation of the 5-794679-4, providing enhanced regulatory alignment with current environmental standards.

Packaging Consideration: The 5-794620-4 is supplied in Tray packaging, which differs from the unspecified packaging of the 5-794679-4. This packaging difference does not affect electrical or mechanical performance and is a logistical consideration only.

Interchangeability: The 5-794620-4 is a direct pin-for-pin and form-factor equivalent suitable for replacement in existing applications and new circuit board designs without modification to PCB layouts, mating connectors, or system integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 5-794620-4 directly replace the 5-794679-4 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 5-794620-4 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 5-794679-4 across all specified parameters including connector pitch, position count, mounting configuration, contact materials, and operating specifications. No circuit board redesign or connector interface modification is required.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 5-794679-4 is classified as obsolete. The 5-794620-4 is an active product from the same manufacturer and series, ensuring continued availability, manufacturer support, and compliance with current regulatory standards.

Q: Are there differences in electrical performance between these parts?

A: No. Both connectors maintain identical voltage ratings (250V), operating temperature ranges (-40°C ~ 105°C), contact materials (Brass), and contact finish specifications (Gold mating, Tin post). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: No. The 5-794620-4 is supplied in Tray packaging while the 5-794679-4 packaging is unspecified. Packaging is a logistics and handling consideration only and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 5-794679-4 carries RoHS Compliant status, while the 5-794620-4 carries ROHS3 Compliant status. ROHS3 represents current regulatory alignment and supersedes the earlier RoHS designation. Both parts meet environmental compliance requirements.

Q: What are the critical parameters for confirming substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is confirmed by matching: Micro MATE-N-LOK series designation, 24-position configuration, 0.118" (3.00mm) pitch and row spacing, through-hole right-angle mounting, shrouded 4-wall design, solder termination, locking ramp fastening, and identical contact material and finish specifications.

Q: Is the 5-794620-4 suitable for new product designs?

A: Yes. The 5-794620-4 is an active product with current manufacturer support and compliance certifications. It is the appropriate selection for new designs requiring 24-position Micro MATE-N-LOK rectangular connector headers with the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics.

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

A: Both the 5-794679-4 and 5-794620-4 carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or assembly processes.
