Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part number 3-794627-6 is the direct equivalent for TE Connectivity 794627-6. Selection of the substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Consideration: The main part 794627-6 carries Obsolete status, which restricts long-term availability and supply chain reliability. The substitute 3-794627-6 maintains Active product status, ensuring continued manufacturing support and component availability.

Compliance Posture: The substitute part 3-794627-6 is ROHS3 Compliant, whereas the main part is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance improvement aligns with current regulatory requirements for electronic components in many jurisdictions and manufacturing standards.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters (voltage rating, operating temperature, contact material, pitch spacing) and mechanical parameters (position count, mounting configuration, shrouding, termination method) are identical between the main part and substitute. The contact finish differs only in lead content (Tin-Lead versus Tin), which does not affect functional compatibility or performance in this application category.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging format, whereas the main part is supplied in bulk packaging. This packaging difference is suitable for automated assembly processes and high-volume production environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 3-794627-6 be used as a direct replacement for 794627-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part 3-794627-6 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to 794627-6. All critical parameters including pitch spacing, position count, voltage rating, operating temperature range, mounting type, and termination method are identical. The parts are interchangeable at the board level.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finishes (Tin-Lead versus Tin)?

A: The main part 794627-6 uses Tin-Lead contact finish, while the substitute 3-794627-6 uses Tin contact finish. Both finishes provide equivalent electrical conductivity and contact reliability at the specified voltage and current ratings. The Tin finish in the substitute reflects modern RoHS3 compliance requirements.

Q: Does the packaging difference (Bulk versus Tape & Reel) affect compatibility?

A: No. Packaging format does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The difference is logistical and relates to handling, storage, and assembly process integration. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated surface mount assembly operations.

Q: Why is the main part 794627-6 listed as Obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued active production and support for this part number. The substitute 3-794627-6 is the active equivalent that maintains the same electrical and mechanical specifications while ensuring ongoing availability and compliance with current standards.

Q: Are there any performance differences between 794627-6 and 3-794627-6?

A: No performance differences exist. Both parts operate within the same temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), support the same voltage rating (250V), and maintain identical contact specifications. The substitute offers improved product status and regulatory compliance.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 2 (1 Year) rating. This indicates that the components must be stored in controlled humidity conditions and used within one year of the manufacturing date if exposed to ambient conditions.

Q: Can these connectors be used in high-temperature applications?

A: The operating temperature range for both parts is -40°C ~ 105°C. Applications requiring operation above 105°C require alternative connector designs rated for higher temperature ranges.
