Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 796387-2 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Connector type (Receptacle, Male Pins)
• Number of positions (24)
• Shell size classification (23-24)
• Mounting configuration (Panel Mount, Through Hole, Right Angle)
• Mounting feature (Flange)
• Termination method (Solder)
• Fastening type (Threaded)
• Contact material and finish (Brass with gold plating)
• Voltage rating (250VAC/DC)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C)
• Shell material (Thermoplastic)
• Flammability rating (UL94 V-0)

The substitute part 1-796387-2 maintains full equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is product status and regulatory compliance, with the substitute offering active availability and RoHS3 compliance.

Parameter Comparison
