Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 794608-1 is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Series: Micro MATE-N-LOK
• Type: Stamped
• Pin or Socket: Pin
• Contact Termination: Crimp
• Wire Gauge: 20-24 AWG
• Contact Finish Thickness: 100.0µin (2.54µm)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited)
• Base Product Number: 794608

The substitute part 1-794608-0 maintains identical specifications across all critical parameters. The primary difference is the contact finish material: the main part features tin-lead finish, while the substitute features tin finish. Both finishes meet the same thickness specification of 100.0µin (2.54µm), ensuring equivalent electrical and mechanical performance in the Micro MATE-N-LOK connector system.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 1-794608-0 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 794608-1 within the Micro MATE-N-LOK series. Selection of 1-794608-0 is supported by the following factors:

Product Status: The substitute part 1-794608-0 maintains active product status with substantial inventory availability (448,324 pcs), ensuring reliable supply for production and service applications.

Compliance: The substitute part 1-794608-0 is RoHS compliant, whereas the main part 794608-1 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations, 1-794608-0 is the required selection.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical wire gauge (20-24 AWG), contact finish thickness (100.0µin / 2.54µm), termination method (crimp), and moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). These parameters ensure functional interchangeability within Micro MATE-N-LOK connector assemblies.

Contact Finish Consideration: The substitute part features tin finish instead of tin-lead finish. Both finishes are applied to the same thickness specification and are suitable for the same connector system applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1-794608-0 be used as a direct replacement for 794608-1 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are pin contacts for the Micro MATE-N-LOK series with identical wire gauge (20-24 AWG), crimp termination, contact finish thickness (100.0µin), and moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1). The parts are mechanically and electrically interchangeable within this connector system.

Q: What is the difference between the tin-lead finish of 794608-1 and the tin finish of 1-794608-0?

A: The main part 794608-1 features tin-lead contact finish, while the substitute 1-794608-0 features tin contact finish. Both finishes are applied to the same thickness specification of 100.0µin (2.54µm). The contact finish material does not affect the mechanical fit or electrical performance within the Micro MATE-N-LOK connector system.

Q: Why is 794608-1 listed as obsolete?

A: The 794608-1 is classified as obsolete by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors. The active equivalent 1-794608-0 is available for all new applications and replacements.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference between the two parts affect substitution?

A: The substitute part 1-794608-0 is RoHS compliant, while the main part 794608-1 is RoHS non-compliant. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements, 1-794608-0 must be selected. For applications without RoHS requirements, both parts are functionally equivalent.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute part?

A: The substitute part 1-794608-0 is supplied in Cut Tape (CT) packaging. The main part 794608-1 packaging specification is not provided.

Q: Are there any wire gauge limitations when substituting these parts?

A: No. Both parts support the same wire gauge range of 20-24 AWG. Wire gauge compatibility is identical between the main part and substitute.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity rating for both parts?

A: Both the main part 794608-1 and substitute 1-794608-0 carry a Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1, which indicates unlimited moisture sensitivity (no special handling required).
