Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 794220-3 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter matching within the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II connector series. The substitute part must satisfy the following criteria:

• Identical series designation (Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II)
• Matching contact type (Pin)
• Identical termination method (Crimp)
• Matching wire gauge range (18-22 AWG)
• Identical contact finish material (Gold)
• Matching contact finish thickness (30.0µin / 0.76µm)
• Equivalent or superior RoHS compliance status
• Equivalent or superior moisture sensitivity rating

The substitute part 1-794220-0 meets all specified parameters and represents the active production equivalent of the obsolete 794220-3.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The part 1-794220-0 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 794220-3. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II series. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance, which represents an advancement over the RoHS compliance of the original part. Both components maintain the same moisture sensitivity level and contact specifications.

The 1-794220-0 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging and maintains significantly higher inventory availability (48,954 pieces) compared to the obsolete part. This substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in all applications where the 794220-3 was originally specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-794220-0 be used as a direct replacement for the 794220-3?

A: Yes. Both parts are pin contacts within the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II series with identical wire gauge ratings (18-22 AWG), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin thickness), and termination method (crimp). All electrical and mechanical parameters match.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The 794220-3 is obsolete, while 1-794220-0 is the active production equivalent. The substitute part carries ROHS3 compliance and is available in Cut Tape packaging. The base product number (794220) is shared between both parts.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 794220-3 packaging information is not specified in the available data. The 1-794220-0 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your application before procurement.

Q: Does the ROHS3 compliance of the 1-794220-0 affect compatibility?

A: No. ROHS3 compliance represents an advancement and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The substitute part meets or exceeds the compliance requirements of the original part.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by these pin contacts?

A: Both the 794220-3 and 1-794220-0 support 18-22 AWG wire gauges for crimp termination.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-reliability applications?

A: Both parts carry Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Both are RoHS compliant. Confirm specific application requirements with your design specifications.
