Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution between 794632-6 and 3-794632-6 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Micro MATE-N-LOK series. Both parts maintain identical specifications for the following critical parameters:

• Connector type, contact type, and male pin configuration
• Position count (6 positions) and row arrangement (2 rows)
• Mating pitch and row spacing (0.118" / 3.00mm)
• Through-hole mounting with shrouded 4-wall design
• Press-fit and solder termination capability
• Voltage rating (250V) and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C)
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Insulation material (Polyamide/Nylon) and color (Black)
• Contact material (Brass) and mating surface finish (Gold at 30.0µin)

The primary distinction between these parts is packaging format and regulatory compliance status. Part 3-794632-6 is supplied in tray packaging and carries RoHS3 compliance certification, whereas 794632-6 is non-compliant with RoHS requirements. Both parts are classified as active products with unlimited moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both 794632-6 and 3-794632-6 are functionally equivalent for through-hole board-to-cable/wire interconnection applications requiring 6-position, 2-row rectangular connectors with 0.118" (3.00mm) pitch spacing. Selection between these parts is determined by regulatory and packaging requirements rather than electrical or mechanical performance.

794632-6 is appropriate for applications where RoHS compliance is not mandated and bulk packaging is acceptable. This part carries 674 pieces in current inventory.

3-794632-6 is the required selection for applications subject to RoHS3 compliance requirements. This part is supplied in tray packaging and carries 4084 pieces in current inventory. The contact finish post specification differs slightly, with 3-794632-6 utilizing tin finish compared to tin-lead finish on 794632-6. Both finishes are compatible with standard solder processes and provide equivalent electrical performance.

Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (250V), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) indicates no moisture sensitivity restrictions for either part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are 794632-6 and 3-794632-6 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications including voltage rating (250V), contact material (brass with gold mating surface), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C). The contact finish post differs (tin-lead versus tin), but both are compatible with standard solder processes and provide equivalent electrical performance.

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

A: The primary differences are packaging format and regulatory compliance. Part 794632-6 is supplied in bulk packaging and is RoHS non-compliant. Part 3-794632-6 is supplied in tray packaging and carries RoHS3 compliance certification. Mechanically and electrically, both parts are identical.

Q: Can I use 3-794632-6 as a direct replacement for 794632-6 in existing designs?

A: Yes, 3-794632-6 is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute for 794632-6. The tray packaging of 3-794632-6 may require different handling procedures compared to bulk packaging, but the connector itself is fully compatible. If your application or supply chain requires RoHS3 compliance, 3-794632-6 is the appropriate selection.

Q: What does the "3-" prefix in part number 3-794632-6 indicate?

A: The "3-" prefix indicates a packaging variation within the same base product family (794632). This prefix denotes tray packaging and RoHS3 compliance status. The base product number 794632 remains consistent across both variants.

Q: Are there any temperature or voltage limitations when substituting between these parts?

A: No. Both parts share identical operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and voltage rating (250V). Substitution does not introduce any thermal or electrical limitations.

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

A: Both 794632-6 and 3-794632-6 carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions. Standard storage and handling procedures apply without special moisture control requirements.

Q: Does the contact finish difference affect solderability?

A: No. The tin-lead finish on 794632-6 and tin finish on 3-794632-6 are both standard solder-compatible finishes. Both provide equivalent solderability and electrical performance in standard solder processes.
