TE Connectivity 796380-1 Circular Connector Backshell Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 796380-1 is a black connector backshell with cable clamp designed for CPC series circular connectors. This component features a 3/4-20 UNEF thread size and 90° cable exit configuration, accommodating cables with 0.453" (11.51mm) opening diameter. The backshell includes integrated clamp screws and is constructed from polyamide (PA) nylon material with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

The 796380-1 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing CPC connector assemblies.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 796380-1 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical mechanical and electrical parameters. The following parameters must match identically for a part to function as a direct substitute:

Connector series designation (CPC)
Component type (Backshell, Cable Clamp)
Shell size - insert (13)
Thread size (3/4-20 UNEF)
Cable opening diameter (0.453" / 11.51mm)
Cable exit angle (90°)
Material composition (Polyamide/Nylon)
Color (Black)
Included components (5 pcs - 3 pc Cable Clamp, 2 Screws)
Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

Parts meeting these criteria are mechanically and functionally interchangeable within CPC connector assemblies. Packaging format and product status do not affect functional compatibility but may influence procurement and compliance considerations.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 796380-2 is a direct functional equivalent to the 796380-1 for all mechanical and electrical applications within CPC connector assemblies. Both parts share identical specifications across all critical parameters that determine compatibility and performance.

The primary distinction between these parts is product lifecycle status and regulatory compliance posture. The 796380-1 is classified as obsolete, while the 796380-2 maintains active product status. The 796380-2 carries ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status, whereas the 796380-1 is RoHS non-compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status.

For new designs, ongoing production, or systems requiring current regulatory compliance documentation, the 796380-2 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original 796380-1 specification must be preserved, the 796380-2 provides functional equivalence with enhanced compliance credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 796380-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 796380-1 in existing CPC connector assemblies?

A: Yes. The 796380-2 is mechanically and functionally identical to the 796380-1 across all critical parameters including shell size, thread specification, cable opening diameter, cable exit angle, material composition, and included components. Direct substitution is supported without modification to connector assemblies or cable configurations.

Q: What is the difference between the 796380-1 and 796380-2?

A: The parts are functionally equivalent. The 796380-1 is obsolete with RoHS non-compliant status. The 796380-2 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected designation. Packaging format differs (796380-1 standard versus 796380-2 bulk), but this does not affect component performance.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 796380-2 for the 796380-1?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts conform to identical mechanical specifications for CPC series connectors. Cable opening diameter, thread size, and cable exit angle are identical, ensuring proper fit and function within existing connector assemblies.

Q: Does the 796380-2 include the same components as the 796380-1?

A: Yes. Both parts include 5 pieces consisting of 3 cable clamp pieces and 2 screws. The included components are identical in quantity and specification.

Q: What regulatory compliance advantages does the 796380-2 offer over the 796380-1?

A: The 796380-2 carries ROHS3 compliance certification and REACH unaffected status. The 796380-1 is RoHS non-compliant with vendor-undefined REACH status. For applications requiring current regulatory compliance documentation, the 796380-2 is the appropriate selection.

Q: Can the 796380-1 and 796380-2 be used interchangeably in the same production batch?

A: Yes. Both parts are functionally identical and interchangeable. However, regulatory compliance documentation should be reviewed if the application requires RoHS or REACH compliance certification.
