Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 770967-2 with equivalent part number 1-770967-1 is based on identical electrical and mechanical parameters across all critical specifications. Both parts share the same base product number (770967) and maintain functional equivalence through matching:

Critical Substitution Parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and gender (Header, Male Pin)
• Number of positions and pitch spacing (3 positions, 0.163" / 4.14mm)
• Mounting configuration (Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Shrouding design (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Voltage and temperature ratings (600VAC, -20°C ~ 105°C)
• Contact material and shape (Brass, Circular)
• Insulation material and flammability (Polyamide/Nylon, UL94 V-0)
• Fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp with Board Lock feature)

The substitute part maintains full compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts designed for the primary part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 770967-2 and 1-770967-1 are active production parts suitable for new designs and ongoing production requirements. Selection between these parts should be based on the following factors:

Compliance and Regulatory Status: The 1-770967-1 substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the 770967-2 lists RoHS status as not applicable. For applications requiring RoHS3 compliance, the 1-770967-1 is the appropriate selection. Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional interchangeability in circuit designs.

Post-Contact Finish Consideration: The primary difference between these parts is the post-contact finish specification. The 770967-2 features Tin-Lead finish on the solder posts, while the 1-770967-1 features Tin finish. Both finishes are applied at 150.0µin (3.81µm) thickness and are suitable for standard solder reflow processes. The Tin finish on the substitute part aligns with lead-free soldering requirements in many manufacturing environments.

Inventory and Availability: The 1-770967-1 maintains higher inventory levels (6,737 pieces) compared to the 770967-2 (820 pieces), providing improved availability for high-volume production requirements.

Both parts are classified as Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) and carry identical electrical ratings, temperature ranges, and mechanical specifications, confirming full substitution compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 770967-2 and 1-770967-1 fully interchangeable in PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector geometry, pitch spacing (0.163" / 4.14mm), mounting configuration (through-hole right-angle), and contact specifications. They mate with the same connector receptacles and occupy identical PCB footprints.

Q: What is the difference between Tin-Lead and Tin post finishes?

A: The 770967-2 uses Tin-Lead finish while the 1-770967-1 uses Tin finish on the solder posts. Both finishes are applied at 150.0µin thickness and are compatible with standard solder reflow processes. Tin finish is preferred in lead-free manufacturing environments to comply with RoHS3 requirements.

Q: Does the substitute part 1-770967-1 meet RoHS3 compliance?

A: Yes. The 1-770967-1 is certified ROHS3 compliant. The primary part 770967-2 lists RoHS status as not applicable. For applications requiring RoHS3 certification, the 1-770967-1 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage rating differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical operating temperature ranges (-20°C ~ 105°C) and voltage ratings (600VAC). They are functionally equivalent across all electrical specifications.

Q: What is the contact finish on the mating surfaces?

A: Both parts feature gold-plated mating contacts with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness. This specification is identical across both part numbers and ensures consistent contact resistance and reliability.

Q: Can I use the 1-770967-1 as a direct replacement in existing assemblies designed for the 770967-2?

A: Yes. The 1-770967-1 is a direct substitute with identical mechanical and electrical specifications. No design modifications or PCB layout changes are required for substitution.

Q: What is the shrouding configuration of these connectors?

A: Both parts feature shrouded 4-wall design, providing mechanical protection and polarization guidance during mating operations. The shrouding is constructed from Polyamide (PA) Nylon material with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: Are both parts suitable for general-purpose applications?

A: Yes. Both the 770967-2 and 1-770967-1 are rated for general-purpose applications and carry identical feature sets including board lock mechanisms and locking ramp fastening systems.
