Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete 796614-9 with the active equivalent 1776315-9 is based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence within the Eurostyle Terminal Strip category. Both components share identical specifications across all critical functional parameters: 9 circuits, 0.571" (14.50mm) pitch, 2-row configuration, 65A current rating, 600V voltage rating, 6-14 AWG wire gauge accommodation, screw-based top termination, closed bottom termination, enclosed barrier type, 100°C operating temperature, and polyamide insulation material with UL94 V-2 flammability rating.

The substitution is valid based on the following key parameters:

• Identical circuit count and pitch spacing
• Matching electrical ratings (current and voltage)
• Compatible wire gauge range
• Equivalent termination method and barrier configuration
• Identical insulation material and thermal rating
• Same mounting interface (chassis and panel)
