TE Connectivity 794226-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 794226-3 is a pin contact for rectangular connectors in the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II series. This component is a crimp-style pin contact rated for 22-26 AWG wire gauges with gold plating. The part is currently active in production and maintains full inventory availability.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the same connector series, packaging configuration, and contact specifications. Alternative part numbers may be required due to inventory allocation, regional availability, or specific compliance certifications needed for particular applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 794226-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector series: Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II
• Contact type: Pin
• Termination method: Crimp
• Wire gauge range: 22-26 AWG
• Contact finish: Gold
• Contact finish thickness: 30.0µin (0.76µm)
• Packaging format: Bulk
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 1-794226-0 maintains identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. Both parts share the same base product number (794226) and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors within the same connector series. The primary distinction between these parts relates to compliance certifications and inventory sourcing.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the 794226-3 and 1-794226-0 are functionally equivalent pin contacts for the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II connector series. Selection between these parts is based on compliance requirements and inventory considerations rather than electrical or mechanical performance differences.

794226-3 Selection Criteria:

• Applications where RoHS compliance is not a requirement
• Existing designs with established part number specifications
• Current inventory availability: 1087 pieces

1-794226-0 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring RoHS Compliant certification
• New designs targeting compliance with environmental regulations
• Higher inventory availability: 10289 pieces
• REACH compliance status requires vendor verification for specific applications

Both parts carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.90.4000) classifications, ensuring equivalent export and tariff treatment. The Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 rating indicates unlimited shelf life for both variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 794226-3 and 1-794226-0 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are pin contacts with identical wire gauge ratings (22-26 AWG), gold contact finish (30.0µin thickness), and crimp termination specifications. They function identically in Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II connector assemblies.

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

A: The primary difference is RoHS compliance status. The 1-794226-0 is RoHS Compliant, while the 794226-3 is marked as Not applicable. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications and are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors.

Q: Can I substitute 1-794226-0 for 794226-3 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the design does not explicitly prohibit RoHS Compliant components. The 1-794226-0 maintains all electrical and mechanical equivalence with the 794226-3 and is suitable for direct substitution in the same connector applications.

Q: What does Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 mean?

A: MSL 1 indicates unlimited shelf life. These pin contacts do not require special moisture-controlled storage conditions and can be stored under standard industrial conditions without degradation.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. Both 794226-3 and 1-794226-0 are supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for high-volume assembly operations and connector kit configurations.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: For new designs, the 1-794226-0 is the recommended choice due to RoHS Compliant certification and higher inventory availability (10289 pieces versus 1087 pieces). This part maintains full compatibility with all Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II connector applications.

Q: Do these parts have any wire gauge limitations?

A: Both parts are rated for 22-26 AWG wire gauges. Proper crimp tool selection and wire preparation are required to ensure reliable termination within this gauge range.
