TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 796422-5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 796422-5 is a 5 Position Wire to Board Terminal Block with 45° (135°) angle orientation and 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch designed for through-hole PCB mounting. This component belongs to the Buchanan series of terminal blocks and is classified as obsolete. The part features screw-leaf spring wire termination with wire guard protection, supporting wire gauges from 14-22 AWG at 10 A current rating and 300 V voltage rating.

Due to its obsolete product status, locating equivalent substitute parts with active availability is necessary for ongoing production requirements and new design implementations. The substitute part identified maintains functional compatibility while offering improved product status and compliance characteristics.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 796422-5 with the 1776252-5 is based on strict electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both parts maintain identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: 5-position configuration, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, 45° (135°) board angle, through-hole mounting, 10 A current capacity, 300 V voltage rating, 14-22 AWG wire gauge compatibility, screw-leaf spring termination with wire guard, M2.6 screw thread, and -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range.

The substitution is valid based on the following key parameters:

• Identical number of positions and pitch spacing
• Matching mating orientation and board angle
• Equivalent electrical ratings (current and voltage)
• Compatible wire termination method and wire gauge range
• Identical mounting configuration and screw specifications
• Matching operating temperature envelope

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1776252-5 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 796422-5 based on product lifecycle and compliance status. The substitute part is classified as Active, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability for production applications.

The 1776252-5 offers RoHS Compliance, whereas the original 796422-5 is RoHS non-compliant. This compliance improvement aligns with current regulatory requirements for electronic components in many markets and applications.

Both parts share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including current rating, voltage rating, wire gauge compatibility, pitch, orientation, and operating temperature range. The housing material differs between the two parts (PA FR15 versus PA66), and the contact plating specification varies (Copper Tin Plated versus Tin Plated). These material differences do not affect functional compatibility for wire-to-board terminal block applications within the specified electrical parameters.

The screw torque specification shows a minor increase from 0.4 Nm to 0.45 Nm in the substitute part, which remains within acceptable assembly tolerances for M2.6 screw applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1776252-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 796422-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1776252-5 maintains identical electrical ratings (10 A, 300 V), mechanical configuration (5 positions, 0.197" pitch, 45° angle), wire termination method (screw-leaf spring with wire guard), and operating temperature range (-55°C to 105°C). PCB footprint and mounting hole patterns are compatible.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The 796422-5 is classified as obsolete, making it unavailable for new production orders. The 1776252-5 is an active product with equivalent specifications and improved RoHS compliance status.

Q: Are there differences in material composition between these parts?

A: Yes. The 796422-5 uses Polyamide PA FR15 (Nylon FR15) housing material, while the 1776252-5 uses Polyamide PA66 (Nylon 6/6). Both materials are suitable for the specified operating temperature range and electrical environment. The contact plating differs: the original uses Copper Tin plating, while the substitute uses Tin plating. These material variations do not affect functional compatibility for wire-to-board terminal block applications.

Q: Is the screw torque difference significant?

A: The torque specification increases from 0.4 Nm (3.5 Lb-In) to 0.45 Nm (4.0 Lb-In). This minor increase remains within standard assembly tolerances for M2.6 screw applications and does not require changes to assembly procedures.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 796422-5 packaging specification is not defined in available data. The 1776252-5 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement department for order specifications.

Q: Does the RoHS compliance difference affect compatibility?

A: No. RoHS compliance is a regulatory and supply chain consideration, not a functional compatibility factor. The 1776252-5 RoHS Compliant status provides regulatory alignment for applications subject to RoHS requirements.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both the 796422-5 and 1776252-5 are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and belong to the Buchanan series terminal block family.
