TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 794607-3 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 794607-3 is a socket contact component within the Micro MATE-N-LOK rectangular connector series. This stamped socket contact is designed for crimp termination with wire gauges ranging from 26 to 30 AWG and features gold plating for enhanced electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. The part maintains Active product status and is currently available in inventory. Substitute parts are identified to address packaging requirements, compliance certifications, or inventory availability while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 794607-3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the Micro MATE-N-LOK series
• Contact Type: Socket contact configuration required
• Termination Method: Crimp termination only
• Wire Gauge Range: 26-30 AWG specification
• Contact Finish: Gold plating with 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness
• Moisture Sensitivity: MSL 1 rating (Unlimited)
• Manufacturer: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors

The substitute part 1-794607-2 meets all these parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is packaging format and RoHS compliance status. The 794607-3 is supplied in standard packaging, while 1-794607-2 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format and carries ROHS3 compliance certification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 794607-3 and 1-794607-2 are Active status products from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and are electrically and mechanically equivalent for Micro MATE-N-LOK socket contact applications requiring 26-30 AWG crimp termination with gold plating.

Selection Criteria:

The 794607-3 is appropriate for applications where standard packaging is acceptable and RoHS compliance is not a requirement.

The 1-794607-2 is the appropriate selection for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance certification or where Tape & Reel packaging is specified for automated assembly processes. This substitute offers superior regulatory compliance status while maintaining identical electrical and mechanical performance characteristics.

Inventory availability differs significantly between the two parts. The 1-794607-2 maintains substantially higher stock levels (196,115 pieces) compared to the 794607-3 (778 pieces), making it the preferred choice for high-volume production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 794607-3 and 1-794607-2 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts are socket contacts within the Micro MATE-N-LOK series with identical wire gauge specifications (26-30 AWG), contact finish (gold at 30.0µin thickness), and crimp termination method. They perform identically in electrical applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are packaging format and RoHS compliance status. The 794607-3 uses standard packaging and is RoHS non-compliant. The 1-794607-2 is supplied in Tape & Reel format and carries ROHS3 compliance certification.

Q: Can I use 1-794607-2 in place of 794607-3 in my assembly?

A: Yes, provided your assembly process can accommodate Tape & Reel packaging. The contact specifications are identical, and ROHS3 compliance of the substitute part does not create incompatibility with non-RoHS applications.

Q: Which part should I specify for new designs?

A: For new designs, specify 1-794607-2 if ROHS3 compliance is required or if Tape & Reel packaging supports your manufacturing process. Both parts are Active status and suitable for long-term production use.

Q: Does packaging format affect the contact performance?

A: No. Packaging format (standard versus Tape & Reel) does not affect the electrical or mechanical performance of the socket contact itself. It only impacts handling, storage, and automated assembly compatibility.

Q: Are there any moisture sensitivity concerns with these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity limitations. Standard storage conditions are appropriate for both components.
