Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TE Connectivity 794619-6 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector Type: Header
• Contact Type: Male Pin
• Number of Positions: 6
• Number of Rows: 2
• Pitch - Mating: 0.118" (3.00mm)
• Row Spacing - Mating: 0.118" (3.00mm)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole, Right Angle
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall
• Voltage Rating: 250V
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C ~ 105°C
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Series: Micro MATE-N-LOK

Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all listed parameters. Packaging format and product status may differ, provided functional compatibility is preserved.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 3-794619-6 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 794619-6 model. Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications within the Micro MATE-N-LOK series, including connector type, contact configuration, pitch spacing, voltage rating, and operating temperature range.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 794619-6 is classified as obsolete, while the 3-794619-6 maintains active product status. Additionally, the 3-794619-6 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, whereas the original part lists RoHS status as not applicable. The substitute part is supplied in tray packaging format.

The contact finish on the post differs between the two parts: the original uses Tin-Lead, while the substitute uses Tin. Both finishes maintain the same thickness specification of 100.0µin (2.54µm) and are compatible with solder termination processes.

For new designs and procurement of replacement components, the 3-794619-6 is the appropriate selection due to its active status and regulatory compliance posture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 794619-6 and 3-794619-6 mechanically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical mounting type (through-hole, right-angle), shrouding configuration (shrouded 4-wall), and physical dimensions including insulation height of 0.290" (7.37mm). They are mechanically interchangeable in board-level applications.

Q: What is the significance of the contact finish difference between Tin-Lead and Tin?

A: Both finishes are applied at identical thickness (100.0µin / 2.54µm) to the post contact. The Tin finish on the 3-794619-6 reflects modern manufacturing practices and regulatory alignment. Both are compatible with standard solder termination processes.

Q: Does the tray packaging of the 3-794619-6 affect its electrical performance?

A: No. Packaging format does not alter electrical or mechanical performance. Packaging differences relate only to handling, storage, and procurement logistics.

Q: Why does the original 794619-6 show RoHS status as "Not applicable"?

A: The 794619-6 is classified as obsolete. The 3-794619-6 carries active ROHS3 compliance certification, reflecting current regulatory requirements for new component procurement.

Q: Can the 3-794619-6 be used as a direct replacement in existing assemblies using the 794619-6?

A: Yes. The 3-794619-6 maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 794619-6 across all critical parameters including voltage rating (250V), operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), connector pitch (0.118" / 3.00mm), and contact configuration (6-position, 2-row male pin header).

Q: Are there inventory considerations when transitioning from 794619-6 to 3-794619-6?

A: The 3-794619-6 is listed with 1219 pieces in new original stock, compared to 1062 pieces for the obsolete 794619-6. Procurement should prioritize the active part number to ensure supply continuity.
