Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 770060-1 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Wire gauge compatibility (14-18 AWG), terminal type (through board), hole diameter (0.125"), insulation diameter range (0.090" ~ 0.150"), overall length (0.295"), contact material (phosphor bronze), and RoHS compliance status (ROHS3).

The primary substitute identified is the 3-770060-1, which maintains identical specifications across all mechanical and electrical parameters. The distinction between the main part and substitute lies in contact finish composition and product status. The 770060-1 features tin-lead finish and is obsolete, while the 3-770060-1 features tin finish and maintains active product status with significantly higher inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3-770060-1 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 770060-1. Both parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical specifications, including wire gauge rating, terminal geometry, contact material composition, and RoHS3 compliance certification.

The 3-770060-1 is the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing production requirements. This part carries active product status, ensuring long-term supply chain availability and manufacturing support. The contact finish difference (tin versus tin-lead) does not affect functional compatibility within the specified application parameters.

For legacy systems currently utilizing the 770060-1, the 3-770060-1 provides direct form-fit-function equivalence. The higher inventory level (13600 units versus 811 units) of the 3-770060-1 supports both immediate procurement needs and future supply continuity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 770060-1 and 3-770060-1 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical hole diameter (0.125"), insulation diameter range (0.090" ~ 0.150"), and overall length (0.295"). They mount identically in through-board applications.

Q: What is the functional difference between tin-lead and tin contact finishes?

A: Both finishes are applied to the same phosphor bronze contact material. The contact finish does not alter the electrical or mechanical performance within the specified 14-18 AWG wire gauge range and through-board terminal application.

Q: Why is the 770060-1 classified as obsolete?

A: The 770060-1 has been superseded by the 3-770060-1 in the TE Connectivity product line. The 3-770060-1 maintains all functional specifications while offering improved supply chain availability.

Q: Can the 3-770060-1 be used as a direct replacement in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 3-770060-1 provides direct form-fit-function replacement for the 770060-1 across all mechanical, electrical, and compliance parameters.

Q: What is the packaging difference between these parts?

A: The 770060-1 packaging specification is not defined in the available data. The 3-770060-1 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 770060-1 and 3-770060-1 are ROHS3 compliant and carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) rating.

Q: Which part should be specified for new designs?

A: The 3-770060-1 should be specified for new designs. This part maintains active product status and ensures design continuity with current TE Connectivity manufacturing standards.
