Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The substitute part 1776315-3 is the direct equivalent for the obsolete 796614-3 based on complete electrical and mechanical parameter alignment. Selection of the substitute part is supported by the following factors:

Product Status Advantage: The 1776315-3 maintains Active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturer support, whereas the 796614-3 is Obsolete and subject to discontinuation of supply.

Compliance Enhancement: The 1776315-3 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, providing superior regulatory compliance compared to the main part's undefined status. This compliance status is beneficial for applications subject to environmental and hazardous substance regulations.

Terminal Screw Finish: The substitute part features Zinc, Trivalent finish compared to the main part's Zinc, Chromate finish. Both finishes provide equivalent corrosion resistance and electrical performance for the specified operating conditions.

Functional Equivalence: All critical electrical parameters (65A current rating, 600V voltage rating, 6-14 AWG wire gauge acceptance) and mechanical parameters (3 circuits, 0.571" pitch, 2 rows, screw termination) are identical, ensuring direct replacement without circuit modification or mechanical redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1776315-3 substitute directly for the 796614-3 without any modifications?

A: Yes. The 1776315-3 is a direct functional equivalent. All electrical ratings (65A, 600V), mechanical dimensions (3 circuits, 0.571" pitch, 2 rows), termination method (screw-based), and material specifications are identical. No circuit redesign or mechanical modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between the Zinc, Chromate and Zinc, Trivalent terminal screw finishes?

A: Both finishes provide corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity suitable for the specified operating conditions. Zinc, Trivalent is a more environmentally compliant alternative to Zinc, Chromate and is the standard finish for modern RoHS-compliant components.

Q: Why is the 796614-3 listed as Obsolete?

A: The manufacturer has discontinued production of the 796614-3. The 1776315-3 is the active equivalent part that replaces it in the current product line.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The 796614-3 packaging is listed as unspecified, while the 1776315-3 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Both parts are functionally identical; packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Does the 1776315-3 meet RoHS and REACH requirements?

A: Yes. The 1776315-3 is RoHS Compliant and REACH Affected, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance regulations. The original 796614-3 has undefined RoHS and REACH status.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with both parts?

A: Both the 796614-3 and 1776315-3 accept wire gauges from 6 to 14 AWG, ensuring compatibility with standard industrial wiring practices.

Q: Can these parts be used in applications requiring 100°C operating temperature?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 100°C operating temperature and are constructed from Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6 insulation material with UL94 V-2 flammability rating, suitable for this thermal environment.
