Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 794576-1 is based on strict alignment of the following critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Substitution Criteria:

• Contact type: Pin configuration
• Contact termination method: Crimp termination
• Wire gauge compatibility: 18-22 AWG
• Contact finish material: Tin plating
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 Compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (Unlimited)
• Export classification: EAR99
• Tariff classification: HTSUS 8536.90.4000

The substitute part 794955-3 satisfies all substitution criteria. While the 794955-3 belongs to the VAL-U-LOK series rather than the AMP-DUAC series, it maintains identical electrical specifications and mechanical compatibility for the specified wire gauge and termination method. The substitute part is currently in active production status with significantly higher inventory availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 794955-3 substitute part is suitable for applications currently specified for the 794576-1. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: pin configuration, crimp termination, 18-22 AWG wire gauge rating, tin contact finish, and regulatory compliance status.

The primary advantage of selecting 794955-3 is its active production status and substantially higher inventory availability (355,097 pieces in stock versus 689 pieces for the obsolete 794576-1). Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring compatibility with existing environmental and regulatory requirements.

The series designation difference (VAL-U-LOK versus AMP-DUAC) reflects connector family classification and does not affect the pin contact specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on connector housing compatibility and system integration requirements, as the pin contact itself maintains functional equivalence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 794955-3 be used as a direct replacement for 794576-1?

A: Yes. Both parts are pin contacts with identical wire gauge ratings (18-22 AWG), crimp termination method, tin finish, and regulatory compliance status. The substitute part is functionally equivalent for the specified electrical and mechanical parameters.

Q: What is the difference between the AMP-DUAC and VAL-U-LOK series?

A: Series designation indicates the connector housing family to which the pin contact is designed to mate. The pin contact specifications remain identical between series. Compatibility depends on the connector housing used in the application.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, EAR99 export classification, and identical HTSUS tariff codes. Regulatory and environmental requirements are equivalent.

Q: Why is 794576-1 listed as obsolete?

A: The 794576-1 is no longer in active production. The 794955-3 represents the current active equivalent from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors for this pin contact specification.

Q: What packaging format is available for 794955-3?

A: The 794955-3 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging format.

Q: Are the contact finish specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature tin plating as the contact finish material with identical electrical and corrosion resistance properties.
