Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 794224-3 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must satisfy the following criteria:

• Identical series classification: Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II
• Identical contact type: Pin configuration
• Identical termination method: Crimp
• Identical wire gauge range: 26-30 AWG
• Identical contact finish material: Gold
• Identical contact finish thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Identical base product number: 794224
• Identical moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 1-794224-0 meets all these requirements and represents the active production equivalent of the obsolete 794224-3.
