Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 794630-6 rectangular connector is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Connector type (Header)
• Contact type (Male Pin)
• Position count (6 positions)
• Row configuration (2 rows)
• Mating pitch (0.118" / 3.00mm)
• Row spacing (0.118" / 3.00mm)
• Mounting method (Through Hole)
• Shrouding configuration (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination capability (Press-Fit, Solder)

Electrical Compatibility:

• Voltage rating (250V minimum)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C)

Regulatory Compliance:

• Material flammability rating (UL94 V-0)
• RoHS3 compliance status

Substitute parts must maintain identical specifications across all listed parameters to ensure functional and physical interchangeability within existing designs and PCB layouts.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3-794630-6 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 794630-6 connector. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications, ensuring complete functional interchangeability.

Primary Selection Criterion:

The 3-794630-6 is classified as an active product with current manufacturing status and documented inventory availability (28,496 pieces in stock). The original 794630-6 is obsolete, making the 3-794630-6 the appropriate selection for new production, design revisions, and ongoing supply requirements.

Compliance Verification:

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 material flammability certification, satisfying regulatory requirements for applications requiring these standards. Moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) indicates unlimited shelf life under standard storage conditions for both variants.

Contact Finish Consideration:

The primary distinction between the two parts is the contact finish specification. The 794630-6 employs Tin-Lead finish on both mating and post contacts, while the 3-794630-6 uses Tin finish. Both finishes maintain identical thickness specifications (100.0µin / 2.54µm) and are compatible with standard PCB assembly and soldering processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3-794630-6 be used as a direct replacement for the 794630-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 3-794630-6 is mechanically and electrically identical to the 794630-6 across all critical parameters including pitch, row spacing, position count, voltage rating, and operating temperature range. The connector will function identically in existing PCB layouts and cable assemblies.

Q: What is the difference between the contact finishes on these two parts?

A: The 794630-6 features Tin-Lead contact finish, while the 3-794630-6 uses Tin finish. Both finishes are applied at identical thickness (100.0µin / 2.54µm) and are compatible with standard soldering and assembly processes. The Tin finish on the 3-794630-6 reflects current RoHS3 compliance requirements.

Q: Why is the 794630-6 listed as obsolete?

A: The 794630-6 has reached end-of-life status in the manufacturer's product portfolio. The 3-794630-6 represents the active production equivalent with identical specifications and improved supply chain availability.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 794630-6 packaging specification is not defined in the available data. The 3-794630-6 is supplied in Tray packaging. Both parts are suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 794630-6 and 3-794630-6 are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for restricted substance use and fire safety standards.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these connectors?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) classification, indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. These connectors can be stored and handled under standard environmental conditions without special moisture control measures.

Q: Are the mechanical dimensions identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical mechanical specifications including insulation height (0.364" / 9.25mm), contact post length (0.125" / 3.18mm), contact shape (Square), and overall shrouded 4-wall configuration.
