Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 794260-1 and 794207-1 are active production parts with full compliance certifications. The 794260-1 carries ROHS3 compliance, while the 794207-1 carries RoHS compliance. Both parts maintain MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

1. Inventory Availability: The 794207-1 substitute has higher current stock (1249 units) compared to the 794260-1 (923 units).
2. Compliance Requirements: Verify that ROHS3 compliance (794260-1) or RoHS compliance (794207-1) aligns with your application and regional requirements.
3. Supply Chain Continuity: Either part provides equivalent functionality for rectangular connector housing applications within the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 794260-1 and 794207-1 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (0.163" / 4.14mm), row configuration (2 rows), position count (16), mounting type (Free Hanging In-Line), and fastening mechanism (Locking Ramp). They are mechanically interchangeable within the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK II connector family.

Q: What is the difference in RoHS compliance between these parts?

A: The 794260-1 is ROHS3 compliant, while the 794207-1 is RoHS compliant. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard. Verify your application's compliance requirements before selection.

Q: Do these connectors include contacts?

A: No. Both the 794260-1 and 794207-1 are housing-only components. Contacts must be procured separately and installed via crimp termination.

Q: Can I use these parts in high-moisture environments?

A: Both parts carry MSL Level 1 (Unlimited) ratings, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard handling and storage practices apply.

Q: What is the pitch specification, and why is it important?

A: The pitch is 0.163" (4.14mm), representing the center-to-center distance between adjacent contact positions. This specification determines mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors and contact sets.

Q: Are both parts suitable for crimp termination applications?

A: Yes. Both the 794260-1 and 794207-1 are designed for crimp contact termination with locking ramp fastening, supporting standard connector assembly processes.
