Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 794360-1 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 24
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.165" (4.20mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.165" (4.20mm)
• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination: Solder
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Contact Length - Post: 0.138" (3.50mm)
• Insulation Height: 0.504" (12.80mm)
• Contact Shape: Square
• Insulation Material: Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6
• Insulation Color: Natural
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-2 or UL94 V-0
• Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL): 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these critical parameters. Variations in contact material (copper alloy versus brass), contact finish composition (tin versus tin-lead), and product compliance status (RoHS3 compliant versus non-compliant) are secondary considerations that do not prevent functional substitution in applications where the primary electrical and mechanical characteristics are required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 794360-1 is classified as obsolete, requiring substitution with active equivalent parts for new designs and ongoing procurement. All identified Molex alternatives maintain functional compatibility through identical pitch, position count, row configuration, mounting type, and termination method.

Primary Substitution Candidates:

Molex 0460152406 (Mini-Fit Plus HCS 46015) and Molex 0460152402 (Mini-Fit Plus HCS 46015) are the preferred substitutes. Both parts feature copper alloy contact material matching the original specification, UL94 V-0 or V-2 flammability ratings, and ROHS3 compliance. These parts represent the most current technology within the Mini-Fit Plus HCS series and offer superior inventory availability (2,688 and 3,192 units respectively).

Secondary Substitution Candidates:

Molex 0444722454 and Molex 0444722455 (Mini-Fit HCS 44472 series) provide equivalent mechanical and electrical characteristics with copper alloy contacts. Part 0444722455 offers enhanced flammability performance with UL94 V-0 rating. Both maintain active product status with adequate inventory levels.

Alternative Substitution Candidate:

Molex 0442060001 (Mini-Fit Jr 44206) and Molex 0469990137 (Mini-Fit Jr 5566) are functionally compatible alternatives. The 0442060001 features brass contact material with thinner tin plating (35.4µin versus 100.0µin), while the 0469990137 also utilizes brass contacts. These parts are suitable for applications where contact material variation is acceptable.

All substitute parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, addressing regulatory requirements that the original obsolete part does not meet. Selection should prioritize parts with copper alloy contact material and UL94 V-0 flammability rating for applications requiring enhanced performance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0460152406 directly replace the TE Connectivity 794360-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 0460152406 maintains identical pitch (0.165"), position count (24), row configuration (2 rows), mounting type (through hole), and termination method (solder). Physical dimensions and electrical characteristics are equivalent, enabling direct substitution without PCB redesign.

Q: What is the difference between the Molex Mini-Fit Plus HCS 46015 series (0460152406, 0460152402) and the Mini-Fit HCS 44472 series (0444722454, 0444722455)?

A: Both series meet the mechanical and electrical requirements for substitution. The Mini-Fit Plus HCS 46015 represents a more recent product line with higher inventory availability. The Mini-Fit HCS 44472 series offers equivalent performance. Selection may be based on procurement lead times and inventory status.

Q: Does the contact material difference between copper alloy and brass affect substitution compatibility?

A: Contact material variation does not prevent functional substitution. Copper alloy and brass contacts both provide adequate electrical conductivity and mechanical durability for this connector class. The choice between materials is determined by application-specific requirements and cost considerations.

Q: Why are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant while the original 794360-1 is not?

A: The 794360-1 is an obsolete part manufactured under earlier standards. Current production connectors, including all identified substitutes, comply with ROHS3 regulations restricting hazardous substances. This compliance is a standard requirement for active connector products.

Q: What is the significance of the UL94 V-0 versus UL94 V-2 flammability rating difference?

A: UL94 V-0 represents a higher flammability performance classification than UL94 V-2. Parts with UL94 V-0 rating (0444722455, 0460152402) are suitable for applications requiring enhanced flame resistance. Parts with UL94 V-2 rating (0442060001, 0460152406, 0469990137, 0444722454) meet standard flammability requirements. Selection depends on application-specific safety standards.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the substitute parts?

A: Packaging specifications are provided for some parts (Tray for 0442060001, 0460152402, 0460152406, 0469990137) while others do not specify packaging in the provided data. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Procurement should confirm packaging requirements with the supplier.

Q: What inventory levels are available for each substitute part?

A: Current inventory levels are: 0460152406 (2,688 units), 0460152402 (3,192 units), 0442060001 (9,638 units), 0469990137 (1,007 units), 0444722454 (906 units), and 0444722455 (851 units). Inventory status may change; verification with the supplier is recommended for procurement planning.

Q: Can the Molex Mini-Fit Jr series (0442060001, 0469990137) be used interchangeably with the Mini-Fit Plus HCS series (0460152406, 0460152402)?

A: Yes. All identified parts maintain identical critical parameters including pitch, position count, row spacing, mounting type, and termination method. Series designation reflects product line classification but does not prevent functional interchangeability in applications where the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics are required.
