Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the 794598-8 are qualified based on strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Plug
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 8
• Pitch: 0.165" (4.20mm)
• Number of Rows: 2
• Row Spacing: 0.165" (4.20mm)
• Mounting Type: Panel Mount, Snap-In
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Fastening Type: Locking Ramp
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)

All identified substitute parts meet these electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in color, insulation material composition, operating temperature range, and series designation do not prevent functional substitution when the above parameters are identical. The substitute parts maintain compatibility with the same contact systems and mounting interfaces as the main part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All identified substitute parts maintain Active product status and comply with RoHS regulations. The 794598-8 is RoHS Compliant, while substitute parts 1969599-8, 0039012086, 0469930810, and 1727670008 are ROHS3 Compliant, indicating enhanced environmental compliance standards.

TE Connectivity 1969599-8 (VAL-U-LOK series) provides a direct TE Connectivity alternative with identical electrical and mechanical parameters. This part operates within a -40°C ~ 105°C temperature range compared to the main part's -55°C ~ 105°C range.

Molex 0039012086 (Mini-Fit Jr 5559 series) offers substitution with identical core parameters and operates within -40°C ~ 105°C temperature range. REACH status is documented as REACH Unaffected.

Molex 0469930810 (Mini-Fit Jr 46993 series) provides substitution capability with identical core parameters and -40°C ~ 105°C operating temperature range. REACH status is documented as REACH Unaffected.

Molex 1727670008 (Mini-Fit TPA2 172767 series) qualifies as a substitute with identical core parameters and -40°C ~ 105°C operating temperature range. REACH status is documented as REACH Unaffected.

Selection among substitute parts depends on application-specific requirements regarding operating temperature range, color coding, insulation material composition, and manufacturer preference. All parts are Active status and suitable for direct functional replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What determines if a part can substitute for the 794598-8?

A: Substitution is determined by matching critical parameters: 8-position plug connector with male pin contacts, 0.165" (4.20mm) pitch, dual-row configuration with 0.165" (4.20mm) row spacing, panel mount snap-in mounting, crimp termination, locking ramp fastening, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity rating. All identified substitute parts meet these requirements.

Q: Are there temperature range differences between the main part and substitutes?

A: The 794598-8 operates from -55°C to 105°C. All substitute parts (1969599-8, 0039012086, 0469930810, 1727670008) operate from -40°C to 105°C. Applications requiring operation below -40°C require the main part 794598-8.

Q: What is the difference between the insulation materials used?

A: The 794598-8 uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon. Substitute part 1969599-8 and 0039012086 use Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6. Substitute parts 0469930810 and 1727670008 use Polyamide (PA) Nylon. Material composition differences do not affect functional substitution when all other parameters align.

Q: Do color variations affect substitution capability?

A: Color is a cosmetic parameter and does not affect electrical or mechanical substitution capability. The 794598-8 is white, while substitutes are available in natural, ivory, and black. Color selection depends on application-specific identification or aesthetic requirements.

Q: Are all substitute parts in active production?

A: All identified substitute parts maintain Active product status, indicating current availability and ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: What is the RoHS compliance status difference?

A: The 794598-8 is RoHS Compliant. All substitute parts are ROHS3 Compliant, representing a more recent and stringent environmental compliance standard. Both compliance levels are acceptable for substitution purposes.

Q: Can these connectors be used interchangeably with the same contact systems?

A: All parts feature identical pitch (0.165" / 4.20mm), row spacing (0.165" / 4.20mm), crimp termination, and locking ramp fastening. Compatibility with contact systems depends on the specific contact part numbers, which are not included with these housing parts.

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

A: MSL 1 (Unlimited) indicates the component has unlimited shelf life and does not require special moisture control during storage or handling, simplifying inventory management and logistics.
