Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection (796055-2): The 796055-2 is suitable for applications where RoHS non-compliance is acceptable and existing designs are locked to this specific part number. This connector is active in production and maintains full availability.

Substitute Part Selection (5796055-2): The 5796055-2 is the direct equivalent substitute and is recommended for new designs and applications requiring regulatory compliance. This part carries ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH Unaffected status, providing enhanced environmental and regulatory alignment. The 5796055-2 includes an additional Board Guide feature that provides enhanced mechanical stability during assembly and operation. Stock availability for the 5796055-2 is higher at 1423 pieces, supporting extended production runs and supply chain continuity.

Both parts maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters, including connector type, position count, mounting configuration, termination method, contact finish, and shielding characteristics. Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements and design revision status rather than functional performance differences.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are the 796055-2 and 5796055-2 electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both connectors maintain identical electrical specifications including 68-position receptacle configuration, gold contact finish at 30.0µin thickness, outer shroud contact style, and shielded design. They operate within the same electrical performance envelope.

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

A: The 5796055-2 includes a Board Guide feature in addition to the Board Lock and Shielding present on the 796055-2. This Board Guide provides enhanced mechanical alignment and stability during connector mating and assembly operations. All other mechanical parameters, including panel mount through-hole right-angle configuration and M2.6 housing/shell flange, remain identical.

Q: Can I use the 5796055-2 as a direct replacement in existing designs using the 796055-2?

A: Yes. The 5796055-2 is a direct equivalent substitute with full mechanical and electrical compatibility. The addition of the Board Guide feature does not create any incompatibility with existing PCB layouts or mating connectors. The part maintains the same footprint, mounting hole pattern, and connector interface.

Q: What is the significance of the RoHS compliance difference?

A: The 796055-2 is RoHS non-compliant, while the 5796055-2 carries ROHS3 compliance certification. For applications subject to RoHS regulations or customer requirements mandating RoHS compliance, the 5796055-2 is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems or applications without RoHS requirements, either part is acceptable.

Q: Are there any differences in moisture sensitivity or environmental ratings?

A: No. Both parts carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints for storage or handling. Both parts share the same ECCN classification (EAR99) and HTSUS code (8536.69.4040).

Q: Which part should I specify for new product designs?

A: The 5796055-2 is recommended for new designs due to its ROHS3 compliance status, REACH Unaffected certification, enhanced Board Guide feature, and higher current stock availability. This selection provides better long-term regulatory alignment and supply chain stability.

Q: Is the Board Guide feature on the 5796055-2 a required design change?

A: No. The Board Guide is an enhancement that improves mechanical stability but is not required for electrical or basic mechanical function. Existing designs using the 796055-2 can transition to the 5796055-2 without design modifications.
