Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 794542-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug configuration
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 6 positions
• Pitch: 0.165" (4.20mm)
• Number of Rows: 2 rows
• Row Spacing: 0.165" (4.20mm)
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Color: Natural
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts maintain these parameters without deviation. Substitute parts are grouped by product status and manufacturer to facilitate procurement decisions based on availability and compliance requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1586000-6

The 1586000-6 is the recommended primary substitute. This part maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the 794542-6 while offering active product status. The 1586000-6 carries RoHS Compliant certification and demonstrates the highest inventory availability among TE Connectivity options at 27,414 pieces. This part is suitable for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Secondary Substitute: Molex 0039013063

The Molex 0039013063 provides an alternative from a different manufacturer while maintaining parametric equivalence across all critical specifications. This part carries ROHS3 Compliant certification and REACH Unaffected status. The 0039013063 demonstrates the highest inventory availability across all substitutes at 85,522 pieces and is classified as active product status. This option is suitable for applications where multi-source qualification is required.

Tertiary Substitute: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1969598-6

The 1969598-6 is a parametric equivalent within the TE Connectivity product line but carries obsolete product status. This part is suitable only for legacy system maintenance or replacement applications where the original part number is no longer available. The 1969598-6 carries RoHS Compliant certification and maintains all critical parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What makes these parts electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 794542-6?

A: All substitute parts maintain identical specifications across critical parameters: 6-position plug configuration, 0.165" (4.20mm) pitch, 2-row layout with 0.165" (4.20mm) row spacing, male pin contact type, crimp termination, locking ramp fastening, and natural color. These parameters define the physical and electrical interface compatibility.

Q: Can the 1586000-6 be used as a direct replacement in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 1586000-6 maintains all critical electrical and mechanical parameters identical to the 794542-6. The primary difference is series designation (VAL-U-LOK versus AMP-DUAC) and active product status, which does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What is the difference between the TE Connectivity and Molex options?

A: Both options maintain identical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary differences are manufacturer, series designation, and compliance certifications. The Molex 0039013063 carries ROHS3 Compliant status versus RoHS Compliant for TE Connectivity parts. Inventory availability is significantly higher for the Molex option at 85,522 pieces.

Q: Why is the 1969598-6 listed if it is obsolete?

A: The 1969598-6 is included as a parametric equivalent for reference purposes. It maintains all critical specifications but carries obsolete product status. This part is suitable only for legacy system maintenance where the original 794542-6 is unavailable and new designs should utilize active alternatives.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: The main part 794542-6 packaging is not specified. All substitute parts are supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect functional compatibility but may impact procurement and inventory management processes.

Q: Do all substitutes include contacts?

A: No. All parts listed, including the main part 794542-6, are connector housings only. Contacts are not included and must be procured separately. This specification applies uniformly across all equivalent and substitute parts.

Q: What compliance certifications should be considered for new designs?

A: For new designs, the 1586000-6 (RoHS Compliant) and 0039013063 (ROHS3 Compliant) are recommended. Both carry active product status and current compliance certifications. The 1969598-6, while RoHS Compliant, carries obsolete product status and should not be selected for new designs.
