TE Connectivity 794196-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 794196-1 is a 10-position rectangular connector plug housing from the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II series. This connector housing is designed for crimp contact termination with a 0.163" (4.14mm) pitch configuration and free-hanging in-line mounting. The part is actively manufactured and RoHS compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are required for applications where the original part number is unavailable or when alternative color or temperature specifications are acceptable within the design constraints.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 794196-1 are qualified based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence Criteria:

Connector type (Plug)
Number of positions (10)
Pitch specification (0.163" / 4.14mm)
Number of rows (2)
Row spacing (0.163" / 4.14mm)
Mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line)
Contact termination method (Crimp)
Fastening mechanism (Latch Lock)
Insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon)

The substitute parts 794781-1 and 770580-1 maintain full compatibility with these core parameters. Variations in color (Natural versus White) and operating temperature ranges do not affect mechanical or electrical interchangeability for connector housing applications where contacts are supplied separately.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three connector housing parts (794196-1, 770580-1, and 794781-1) are actively manufactured and RoHS compliant. Selection between these parts is determined by application-specific requirements:

794196-1 (Natural Color): Primary selection when natural color specification is required. Actively stocked with 1273 units available.

770580-1 (White Color, Extended Temperature Range): Suitable for applications requiring white housing color and extended low-temperature operation to -55°C. Actively stocked with 1656 units available.

794781-1 (White Color, Standard Temperature Range): Suitable for applications requiring white housing color with standard low-temperature operation to -20°C. Actively stocked with highest inventory availability at 10183 units.

All parts maintain identical mechanical and electrical characteristics for the 10-position, 4.14mm pitch connector housing configuration. Compliance certifications (RoHS, MSL Level 1) are equivalent across all three options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 794781-1 be used as a direct replacement for 794196-1?

A: Yes. Both parts are 10-position plug housings with 0.163" (4.14mm) pitch, identical row configuration, crimp termination, and latch lock fastening. The primary difference is housing color (White versus Natural). Mechanical and electrical interchangeability is complete.

Q: What is the difference between 770580-1 and 794781-1?

A: Both are white housing variants with identical mechanical specifications. The difference is operating temperature range: 770580-1 operates from -55°C to 105°C, while 794781-1 operates from -20°C to 105°C. Selection depends on application temperature requirements.

Q: Are contacts included with these connector housings?

A: No. All three parts (794196-1, 770580-1, and 794781-1) are housings only. Contacts must be supplied separately and crimped into the housing.

Q: Does color affect electrical performance?

A: No. Housing color is a cosmetic and identification parameter only. Electrical and mechanical performance is identical between natural and white variants.

Q: Which substitute part has the best inventory availability?

A: 794781-1 has the highest inventory with 10183 units in stock, followed by 770580-1 with 1656 units, and 794196-1 with 1273 units.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All three connector housings (794196-1, 770580-1, and 794781-1) are RoHS compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited).
