TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 796636-7 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 796636-7 is a 7-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on four sides, featuring a 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and vertical through-hole mounting. This component is classified as active product status and is designed for solder termination applications requiring 15 A at 300 V (UL rating). The part is constructed from polyamide (PA66) nylon housing with copper alloy contacts and tin mating finish, operating across a temperature range of -40°C to 110°C.

Equivalent and substitute parts are necessary when the primary component becomes unavailable, when design requirements necessitate alternative electrical or mechanical specifications, or when supply chain optimization requires sourcing from multiple manufacturers while maintaining functional compatibility.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 796636-7 is determined by the following critical parameters: number of positions (7), pitch spacing (0.200" / 5.08mm), header orientation (vertical), connector type (male pins, shrouded 4-side), mounting method (through-hole or solder), and electrical ratings (minimum 15 A at 300 V UL). All substitute parts listed maintain these core functional specifications.

Substitute parts are grouped into two categories based on pitch specification:

Category A: Exact Pitch Match (0.200" / 5.08mm) Parts with identical 5.08mm pitch spacing, maintaining direct mechanical and electrical compatibility with the 796636-7 footprint and mating interface.

Category B: Approximate Pitch Match (0.197" / 5.00mm) Parts with 5.00mm pitch spacing, representing a minor dimensional variance of 0.08mm across the 7-position span. These parts maintain functional compatibility for applications where pitch tolerance permits substitution.

All substitute parts are active product status, ROHS3 compliant, and rated for 300 V UL minimum voltage specification.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Exact Pitch Match - 5.08mm)

The Molex 0395311007 provides direct substitution with identical 5.08mm pitch, vertical orientation, and 15 A UL current rating. This part maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility with the 796636-7 footprint. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and rated for 300 V UL. The primary distinction is housing material (polyamide in both) and contact material (brass in Molex versus copper alloy in TE Connectivity). Operating temperature range is -40°C to 105°C for the Molex part, compared to -40°C to 110°C for the 796636-7.

The Phoenix Contact 1755781 and 1936063 maintain the 5.08mm pitch specification and vertical through-hole mounting. Both are ROHS3 compliant and rated for 300 V UL. The 1755781 is rated for 12 A UL current, while the 1936063 includes a locking ramp feature and is constructed from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing material. These parts are suitable for applications where the 12 A current rating is sufficient.

The On Shore Technology EDSTLZ955/7 and OSTOQ075450 maintain the 5.08mm pitch and 300 V UL voltage rating. Both are ROHS3 compliant with operating temperature range of -30°C to 105°C. These parts feature solder mounting type rather than through-hole, representing a different assembly methodology.

Secondary Substitutes (Approximate Pitch Match - 5.00mm)

The Phoenix Contact 1755561 and 5433066 feature 5.00mm pitch spacing, representing a 0.08mm variance per position. The 1755561 is rated for 12 A UL current and 300 V UL voltage. The 5433066 is rated for 15 A UL current and 300 V UL voltage, matching the current specification of the 796636-7. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant. These parts are suitable for applications where pitch tolerance permits the 5.00mm spacing.

Compliance and Certification Basis

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance or equivalent RoHS compliance status. All parts are rated for minimum 300 V UL voltage specification. All parts are classified as active product status. Moisture sensitivity level is 1 (Unlimited) across all parts, indicating no special moisture handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

The Molex part is rated for 15 A UL current, matching the 796636-7. Operating temperature range differs slightly (-40°C to 105°C for Molex versus -40°C to 110°C for TE Connectivity). Both are ROHS3 compliant.

Q: What is the difference between the Phoenix Contact 1755781 and 1936063?

A: Both parts feature 7 positions, 5.08mm pitch, vertical orientation, and 300 V UL rating. The 1936063 includes a locking ramp feature and is constructed from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing material, whereas the 1755781 uses polyamide (PA) nylon housing. Both are rated for 12 A UL current. The 1936063 is RoHS compliant, while the 1755781 is ROHS3 compliant.

Q: Can I use the Phoenix Contact 1755561 or 5433066 with 5.00mm pitch instead of the 5.08mm pitch 796636-7?

A: The 1755561 and 5433066 feature 5.00mm pitch spacing, representing a 0.08mm variance per position across the 7-position span. These parts are suitable for applications where pitch tolerance permits the 5.00mm spacing. Mechanical compatibility with mating connectors designed for 5.08mm pitch is not guaranteed. The 5433066 is rated for 15 A UL current, matching the 796636-7 specification.

Q: What is the difference between through-hole and solder mounting types?

A: The 796636-7, Molex 0395311007, and Phoenix Contact parts feature through-hole mounting, where contact tails pass through printed circuit board holes for solder connection. The On Shore Technology EDSTLZ955/7 and OSTOQ075450 feature solder mounting type, representing a different assembly methodology. Through-hole mounting is the standard for the 796636-7 application.

Q: Are all substitute parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: The TE Connectivity 796636-7, Molex 0395311007, and all Phoenix Contact and On Shore Technology parts listed are ROHS3 compliant or equivalent RoHS compliant. All parts meet current environmental compliance requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the contact tail length differences?

A: Contact tail length varies across substitute parts, ranging from 0.130" (3.30mm) for the Molex 0395311007 to 0.157" (4.00mm) for the On Shore OSTOQ075450. The 796636-7 features 0.138" (3.50mm) contact tail length. Differences in contact tail length affect solder joint formation and printed circuit board hole depth requirements. Verify printed circuit board design compatibility with the specific contact tail length of the selected substitute part.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height differences?

A: Most substitute parts feature 0.472" (12.00mm) insulation height, matching the 796636-7 specification. The On Shore EDSTLZ955/7 features 0.154" (3.90mm) insulation height, representing a significant dimensional difference. Insulation height affects the overall profile and clearance requirements on the printed circuit board. Verify mechanical compatibility with the specific insulation height of the selected substitute part.

Q: Can I use the On Shore Technology parts as substitutes?

A: The On Shore Technology EDSTLZ955/7 and OSTOQ075450 maintain the 5.08mm pitch, 7-position configuration, and 300 V UL voltage rating. Both are ROHS3 compliant and rated for unlimited moisture sensitivity level. However, these parts feature solder mounting type rather than through-hole mounting, representing a different assembly methodology. The EDSTLZ955/7 features 0.154" (3.90mm) insulation height, differing from the 796636-7 specification of 0.472" (12.00mm). Verify assembly process compatibility before selecting these parts.

A: The 796636-7 is rated for 15 A UL current. The Molex 0395311007 and Phoenix Contact 5433066 are also rated for 15 A UL current, providing equivalent current handling capability. The Phoenix Contact 1755561, 1755781, and 1936063 are rated for 12 A UL current, representing a reduced current specification. Select substitute parts based on application current requirements. Parts rated for 12 A are suitable for applications requiring 12 A or less.

Q: What operating temperature range should I consider?

A: The 796636-7 operates across -40°C to 110°C. The Molex 0395311007 operates across -40°C to 105°C, providing a 5°C reduction in maximum operating temperature. The On Shore Technology parts operate across -30°C to 105°C, representing a 10°C reduction in minimum operating temperature and 5°C reduction in maximum operating temperature. Select substitute parts based on application temperature requirements.
