TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 746611-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 746611-1 is an 8-position ribbon cable DIP header connector designed for through-hole mounting applications. This connector features IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination, supporting 28 AWG stranded and 26-30 AWG solid wire gauges. The part operates with a 0.050" (1.27mm) cable pitch and 0.100" (2.54mm) board-side pitch across two rows with 0.300" (7.62mm) row spacing.

The 746611-1 is classified as obsolete. Locating equivalent substitute parts is necessary to ensure design continuity, maintain supply chain reliability, and access components with current product status and compliance certifications.

• Number of rows (2)
• Row spacing (0.300" / 7.62mm)
• Mounting type (Through Hole)
• Cable termination method (IDC)
• Wire gauge compatibility (28 AWG stranded; 26-30 AWG solid)
• Contact finish (Gold)
• Base product number (746611)

The 746611-7 is functionally equivalent to the 746611-1 and operates as a direct substitute in applications requiring these specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 746611-7 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 746611-1. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional compatibility in all applications designed for the 746611-1.

Product Status Consideration: The 746611-1 is obsolete, while the 746611-7 maintains active product status. Selection of the 746611-7 ensures access to current manufacturing, ongoing availability, and supply chain continuity.

Compliance Advantage: The 746611-7 is ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, whereas the 746611-1 is RoHS non-compliant with undefined REACH status. For applications subject to environmental regulations or customer compliance requirements, the 746611-7 is the appropriate selection.

Packaging and Inventory: The 746611-7 is supplied in tray packaging with higher inventory availability (3260 pieces versus 1129 pieces), supporting both prototype and production-volume requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
