Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 794594-2 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Matching Parameters:

• Connector type: Plug housing
• Contact configuration: Male pin, 2-position
• Row arrangement: 2 rows with 0.165" (4.20mm) row spacing
• Mounting style: Free hanging in-line
• Termination method: Crimp contact attachment
• Fastening mechanism: Locking ramp
• Regulatory compliance: ROHS3 compliant
• Moisture sensitivity: MSL 1 (unlimited)

Substitute parts maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring direct compatibility with mating receptacle housings and existing circuit board layouts. Variations in color, insulation material composition, operating temperature range, and manufacturer series do not affect functional substitution capability within the specified parameter set.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All substitute parts listed maintain active product status and ROHS3 compliance, confirming ongoing manufacturer support and regulatory alignment with the original 794594-2 specification.

TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1969598-2 and 1969612-2: These parts are from the VAL-U-LOK series and provide direct functional equivalence to the 794594-2. Both maintain identical mechanical and electrical parameters. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C, which covers the upper operating limit of the main part. These parts are available in higher inventory quantities (14,792 and 22,177 units respectively) compared to the main part (716 units).

Molex 1727620002: This Mini-Fit TPA2 series connector provides functional equivalence across all critical parameters. The part is manufactured by Molex and maintains identical row spacing, mounting configuration, and termination method. Operating temperature specification is not provided in the available data. This part is available in substantial inventory (18,347 units).

Selection between substitute parts should be based on application-specific requirements including operating temperature range, color coding requirements for circuit board assembly, and material composition preferences. All listed parts are suitable for direct substitution in applications where the 794594-2 is currently specified.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1969598-2 or 1969612-2 be used as direct replacements for the 794594-2?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical connector type, position count, row spacing, mounting style, contact termination, and fastening mechanism. The operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C covers the upper operating limit of the 794594-2. These parts are functionally interchangeable for applications within this temperature specification.

Q: What is the difference between the TE Connectivity VAL-U-LOK series substitutes and the main part?

A: The 1969598-2 and 1969612-2 are from the VAL-U-LOK series, while the 794594-2 is from the AMP-DUAC series. Both series share identical mechanical and electrical parameters. The primary differences are color (natural versus white) and insulation material composition (PA66 nylon 6/6 versus PA nylon). These differences do not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Is the Molex 1727620002 compatible with the same mating receptacles as the 794594-2?

A: Yes. The 1727620002 maintains the same row spacing (0.165" / 4.20mm), mounting configuration, and fastening mechanism. It is mechanically compatible with receptacles designed for the 794594-2.

Q: What are the inventory implications of selecting a substitute part?

A: The main part 794594-2 has 716 units in stock. Substitute parts have significantly higher availability: 1969598-2 (14,792 units), 1969612-2 (22,177 units), and 1727620002 (18,347 units). Selection of a substitute part may provide improved supply chain continuity.

Q: Are all listed parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The 794594-2 and all substitute parts (1969598-2, 1969612-2, and 1727620002) are ROHS3 compliant, confirming regulatory alignment for applications requiring restricted substance compliance.

Q: Does the color difference between parts affect electrical performance?

A: No. Color variations (white, natural, black) are cosmetic and do not affect electrical or mechanical performance. Color selection should be based on circuit board assembly requirements or visual identification needs.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range difference?

A: The 794594-2 operates from -55°C to 105°C, while the TE Connectivity VAL-U-LOK substitutes operate from -40°C to 105°C. For applications requiring operation below -40°C, the 794594-2 is required. For applications within -40°C to 105°C, substitutes are suitable.
