Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 794068-2 and 1-794068-1 are active production parts from TE Connectivity's Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK series with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. The parts are functionally interchangeable for all board-to-cable/wire connector applications requiring 16-position, 2-row through-hole headers with 0.163" pitch spacing.

The substitute part 1-794068-1 offers the following distinctions:

Compliance Status: The 1-794068-1 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Unaffected, whereas the 794068-2 is not RoHS applicable and is REACH Affected. Applications subject to RoHS or REACH regulatory requirements should specify the 1-794068-1.

Post Contact Finish: The 794068-2 features Tin-Lead post finish, while the 1-794068-1 features Tin post finish. Both maintain equivalent contact finish thickness (150.0µin / 3.81µm) and gold mating surface finish (30.0µin / 0.76µm).

Inventory Availability: The 1-794068-1 maintains higher inventory levels (3800 pieces) compared to the 794068-2 (1094 pieces), supporting supply chain continuity for high-volume applications.

Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory compliance requirements, post finish specifications, and inventory availability rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.
