Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 794579-1 is based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Pin or Socket Configuration: Both main and substitute parts are pin contacts
• Contact Termination Method: Both utilize crimp termination
• Wire Gauge Rating: Both support 22-26 AWG wire gauges
• Contact Finish Material: Both feature tin plating
• Regulatory Compliance: Both maintain ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: Both are rated MSL 1 (Unlimited)

The substitute part 1586316-3 operates within the same electrical and mechanical parameter envelope as the main part, enabling direct functional replacement in rectangular connector applications requiring pin contacts with crimp termination.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 1586316-3 is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support.
