Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 794380-1 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Substitution Criteria:

• Pin or Socket configuration (Socket)
• Wire gauge compatibility (18-24 AWG or 18-20 AWG)
• Contact termination method (Crimp)
• Contact finish material (Tin)
• RoHS3 compliance
• Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 classification

Direct Equivalent Category: Parts meeting all primary criteria with identical or compatible wire gauge ranges and the same rectangular connector category qualify as direct equivalents.

Similar Substitute Category: Parts meeting primary criteria but differing in connector category (blade type versus rectangular), wire gauge range (18-20 AWG versus 18-24 AWG), or series designation are classified as similar substitutes. These require design verification for mechanical and electrical compatibility within the specific application circuit.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent Selection:

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 350628-1 is the primary direct equivalent for the obsolete 794380-1. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Commercial .062" Pin and Socket series, including wire gauge range (18-24 AWG), crimp termination, tin finish, and RoHS3 compliance. The 350628-1 maintains active product status with 1970 units in stock and REACH Unaffected certification, providing superior procurement reliability compared to the obsolete main part.

Alternative Substitute Selection:

The Molex 0002061101 (Series 1561) and Molex 5013951000 (Series 501395) are active rectangular connector socket contacts with tin finish and crimp termination. Both support 18-24 AWG and 18-20 AWG wire gauges respectively, with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 classification. These components function as rectangular connector substitutes with different series designations and require verification of mechanical compatibility with existing connector housings.

Blade Type Alternative:

The Molex 0433742001 (Sabre 43374 series) is a blade type power connector classified as a female blade socket with 18-20 AWG capacity. This component differs in connector category and mechanical form factor, limiting its application to designs specifically accommodating blade type connectors. Selection of this part requires confirmation that the circuit design supports blade type power connector interfaces.

Compliance Verification:

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the original 794380-1 specification. The 350628-1 provides the highest compliance certainty with REACH Unaffected status, whereas the main part carries Vendor Undefined REACH status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 350628-1 directly replace the 794380-1 in all applications?

A: Yes. The 350628-1 is a direct equivalent with identical wire gauge range (18-24 AWG), crimp termination, tin finish, and series designation (Commercial .062" Pin and Socket). Both components are socket contacts with ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 classification. The 350628-1 is active and readily available, making it the preferred replacement for the obsolete 794380-1.

Q: What is the difference between the direct equivalent and similar substitutes?

A: The 350628-1 is a direct equivalent sharing the same series, wire gauge range, and connector category as the 794380-1. The Molex 0002061101 and 5013951000 are similar substitutes from different manufacturers and series with wire gauge ranges of 18-24 AWG and 18-20 AWG respectively. The 0433742001 is a blade type connector, differing in both category and mechanical form factor. Similar substitutes require design verification for mechanical compatibility with existing connector housings.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (350628-1, 0002061101, 0433742001, and 5013951000) are ROHS3 compliant, matching the compliance status of the main part 794380-1.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

A: The 350628-1 is available in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. The 0002061101 and 0433742001 are supplied in Cut Tape (CT) and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging respectively. The 5013951000 is available in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging. Packaging selection depends on production volume and assembly process requirements.

Q: Does wire gauge compatibility affect substitution?

A: Wire gauge compatibility is a critical substitution parameter. The 794380-1 supports 18-24 AWG. The 350628-1 matches this range exactly. The 0002061101 and 5013951000 support 18-24 AWG and 18-20 AWG respectively. The 0433742001 supports 18-20 AWG. Parts with narrower wire gauge ranges (18-20 AWG) are suitable for applications using wire sizes within that range but cannot accommodate larger 22-24 AWG conductors.

Q: What is the inventory status of each substitute part?

A: The 350628-1 has 1970 units in stock. The 0002061101 has 351543 units available. The 0433742001 has 92816 units in stock. The 5013951000 has 1072 units available. The original 794380-1 has 782 units in stock but is classified as obsolete.

Q: Can the blade type connector 0433742001 be used in place of rectangular connectors?

A: No. The 0433742001 is a blade type power connector with a different mechanical form factor and connector category. It cannot be directly substituted into applications designed for rectangular connectors. Selection of this part requires design modifications to accommodate blade type connector interfaces.

Q: What is the significance of MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification?

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates that the component has no moisture sensitivity restrictions and does not require special handling, storage, or baking procedures prior to assembly. All listed parts, including the main part and substitutes, carry this classification, ensuring consistent handling requirements across all options.
