Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 796500-1 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the CPC Series 1 product line. The substitute part 1-796500-1 maintains identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: 7-position configuration, 13-7 shell size, panel mount through hole right angle mounting with flange, threaded fastening, keyed orientation, solder termination, gold-plated brass contacts, 250VAC/DC voltage rating, -55°C to 105°C operating temperature range, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and 30.0µin contact finish thickness.

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status and packaging. The substitute part 1-796500-1 is classified as Active with Tray packaging, whereas the original 796500-1 is Obsolete. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL 1 rating. The substitute part carries REACH Unaffected status compared to the original's Vendor Undefined status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The part 1-796500-1 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 796500-1. Selection of the substitute part is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The substitute part 1-796500-1 carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing manufacturer support, availability, and compliance with current industry standards. The original 796500-1 is Obsolete and subject to discontinuation.

Compliance and Certifications: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 classification. The substitute part carries ROHS3 Compliant status, representing current RoHS directive compliance, whereas the original part is RoHS Compliant. The substitute part's REACH Unaffected status provides regulatory clarity compared to the original's Vendor Undefined status.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: All functional parameters are identical between the main part and substitute, including connector configuration, contact specifications, voltage and temperature ratings, and termination method.

Packaging Consideration: The substitute part is supplied in Tray packaging, which is standard for active production components and facilitates automated assembly processes.

For new designs and field replacements, the 1-796500-1 substitute part is the appropriate selection to ensure long-term supply chain stability and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1-796500-1 substitute be used as a direct replacement for the 796500-1 in existing applications?

A: Yes. The 1-796500-1 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 796500-1 across all specified parameters. Both parts are 7-position circular connector receptacles with identical shell size, mounting configuration, termination method, contact specifications, voltage rating, and operating temperature range.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 796500-1?

A: The 796500-1 is classified as Obsolete. The 1-796500-1 substitute is Active, ensuring continued manufacturer support, availability, and compliance with current regulatory requirements.

Q: Are there any differences in compliance or certification between the two parts?

A: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 classification. The substitute part carries ROHS3 Compliant status and REACH Unaffected designation, providing current regulatory alignment. The original part is RoHS Compliant with Vendor Undefined REACH status.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect component compatibility?

A: No. The packaging difference (Tray for the substitute versus unspecified for the original) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Tray packaging is standard for active production components and is suitable for both manual and automated assembly processes.

Q: Are the contact specifications identical between the two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts feature brass contacts with gold plating at 30.0µin (0.76µm) thickness, identical contact finish material, and equivalent mating surface specifications.

Q: What is the voltage and temperature rating for both parts?

A: Both the 796500-1 and 1-796500-1 are rated for 250VAC/DC operation across an operating temperature range of -55°C to 105°C.
