TE Connectivity 796406-1 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 796406-1 is a 37-position circular connector receptacle with male pins, designed for panel mount, through-hole, right-angle applications with solder termination. This connector features gold-plated mating contacts, thermoplastic shell construction, and operates across a temperature range of -55°C to 105°C with a voltage rating of 250VAC/DC.

The 796406-1 carries an obsolete product status. Identifying equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability for maintenance, repair, and new production applications where this connector specification is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the 796406-1 is determined by strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part must maintain identical specifications in the following areas:

Electrical Parameters: Connector type (receptacle with male pins), number of positions (37), contact material (brass), contact finish (gold), contact finish thickness (30.0µin), voltage rating (250VAC/DC), and material flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

Mechanical Parameters: Shell size - insert (23-37), mounting type (panel mount, through hole, right angle), mounting feature (flange), termination method (solder), fastening type (threaded), and orientation (A).

Environmental Parameters: Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 105°C).

Series Designation: CPC Series 1.

The substitute part 1-796406-1 meets all these criteria and is therefore a direct equivalent for the obsolete 796406-1.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 1-796406-1 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 796406-1. All critical electrical, mechanical, and environmental parameters are identical between the two parts.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status and regulatory compliance. The 796406-1 is obsolete and carries undefined RoHS status. The 1-796406-1 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, making it suitable for current production applications and regulatory requirements.

The packaging difference (tray for the substitute versus unspecified for the main part) does not affect functional compatibility. Both parts share the same base product number (796406) and series designation (CPC Series 1), confirming their interchangeability.

For applications requiring the 796406-1 specification, the 1-796406-1 provides full electrical and mechanical compatibility with improved product availability and regulatory standing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-796406-1 be used as a direct replacement for the 796406-1?

A: Yes. The 1-796406-1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 796406-1. All connector specifications, including pin count, contact materials, termination method, mounting configuration, voltage rating, and operating temperature range are identical.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and regulatory compliance. The 796406-1 is obsolete with undefined RoHS status. The 1-796406-1 is an active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Packaging is specified as tray for the 1-796406-1. Functionally, both parts are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns when substituting the 1-796406-1 for the 796406-1?

A: No compatibility concerns exist. Both parts are 37-position circular connectors with identical electrical ratings (250VAC/DC), operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C), contact finish (gold-plated brass), and mechanical mounting specifications (panel mount, through hole, right angle, threaded fastening).

Q: Does the packaging difference affect the connector's performance?

A: No. Packaging (tray versus unspecified) is a logistics and handling consideration only. It does not affect the connector's electrical performance, mechanical fit, or functional characteristics.

Q: What is the base product number relationship between these parts?

A: Both the 796406-1 and 1-796406-1 share the same base product number (796406) and belong to the CPC Series 1 family. The prefix "1-" in the substitute part number indicates a variant designation within the same product family.

Q: Is the 1-796406-1 suitable for new production designs?

A: Yes. The 1-796406-1 is an active product with current regulatory compliance (ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected). It is suitable for new production applications requiring 37-position circular connector receptacles with the specified electrical and mechanical characteristics.
