Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 770246-4 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part 1-770246-0 maintains identical specifications for the following key parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both components belong to the Universal MATE-N-LOK II series
• Contact Configuration: Both are split pin contacts
• Termination Method: Both utilize crimp termination
• Wire Gauge Rating: Both accommodate 10-12 AWG wire
• Contact Finish: Both feature gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Moisture Sensitivity: Both are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Base Product Number: Both share base product number 770246

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status and compliance certification. The substitute part 1-770246-0 is active and RoHS3 compliant, whereas the main part 770246-4 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

This ensures direct functional interchangeability within Universal MATE-N-LOK II connector assemblies.

Inventory Availability: The substitute part 1-770246-0 is available in active inventory (1035 pieces), providing reliable procurement for new designs and replacement applications.

For applications requiring the 770246-4, the part 1-770246-0 is the appropriate selection to ensure compliance, availability, and continued system support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-770246-0 substitute directly replace the 770246-4 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 1-770246-0 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 770246-4. Both components share identical specifications for wire gauge (10-12 AWG), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin), termination method (crimp), and series compatibility (Universal MATE-N-LOK II). Direct substitution is supported.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 770246-4?

A: The 770246-4 is classified as obsolete, which restricts future availability and manufacturer support. The 1-770246-0 is an active product with current compliance certifications, ensuring long-term procurement viability and regulatory compliance.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Yes. The 1-770246-0 is RoHS3 compliant, while the 770246-4 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or environmental compliance requirements, the 1-770246-0 is the required selection.

Q: Do the parts differ in packaging?

A: The 770246-4 packaging is not specified in the available data. The 1-770246-0 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Are the moisture sensitivity ratings identical?

A: Yes. Both the 770246-4 and 1-770246-0 are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by the substitute part?

A: The 1-770246-0 supports 10-12 AWG wire gauge, identical to the 770246-4. This rating applies to both solid and stranded conductors within the specified gauge range.

Q: Is the contact finish thickness the same on both parts?

A: Yes. Both components feature gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, ensuring equivalent electrical performance and corrosion resistance.
