Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 796636-9 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Number of Positions: 9 (all substitutes match)
• Header Orientation: Vertical (all substitutes match)
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side) (all substitutes match)
• Termination Style: Solder (all substitutes match)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole or Solder (all substitutes compatible)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 (all substitutes match or equivalent)
• Housing Material: Polyamide/Nylon (all substitutes match)
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (all substitutes match)

Electrical Parameter Considerations:

• Voltage - UL: 300 V (all substitutes meet or exceed)
• Current Ratings: Substitutes range from 12 A to 16 A (all meet or exceed the 15 A UL rating of the main part)
• IEC Ratings: Substitutes provide additional IEC compliance options

Mechanical Parameter Considerations:

• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm) for three substitutes; 0.197" (5.00mm) for one substitute
• Contact Tail Length: Ranges from 0.138" to 0.154"
• Insulation Height: 0.472" (12.00mm) for all substitutes except one

Substitutes are grouped into two categories: exact pitch match (5.08mm) and near-pitch alternative (5.00mm).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Exact Pitch Match - 0.200" / 5.08mm):

Phoenix Contact 1755804 and 1924376 are direct mechanical and electrical substitutes for the TE Connectivity 796636-9. Both parts maintain the identical 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, vertical orientation, and through-hole mounting configuration. Phoenix Contact 1924376 provides enhanced current capacity at 16 A UL rating compared to the main part's 15 A rating. Both Phoenix Contact substitutes carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The contact tail length differential (0.154" versus 0.138") requires PCB layout verification to confirm compatibility with existing through-hole pad spacing.

On Shore Technology EDSTLZ955/9 maintains the 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and vertical orientation but differs in mounting classification (Solder versus Through Hole) and insulation height (0.154" versus 0.472"). This part is suitable for applications where direct solder mounting to PCB pads is preferred over through-hole insertion. Operating temperature range is -30°C to 105°C, which is narrower than the main part's -40°C to 110°C specification.

Alternative Substitute (Near-Pitch Match - 0.197" / 5.00mm):

Phoenix Contact 1755587 operates at a 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, representing a 0.003" (0.08mm) deviation from the main part's 0.200" (5.08mm) specification. This part is electrically and mechanically compatible but requires PCB layout modification to accommodate the pitch difference. Current rating is 12 A UL, which is lower than the main part's 15 A specification. This substitute is appropriate for applications with current requirements below 12 A or where PCB redesign is feasible.

Compliance and Regulatory Status:

All substitute parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings or equivalent polyamide/nylon housing materials. All substitutes are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. Moisture Sensitivity Level 1 (Unlimited) is consistent across all parts, indicating no special handling requirements during storage or assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1755587 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 796636-9?

A: Phoenix Contact 1755587 is functionally compatible but requires PCB layout modification. The pitch difference of 0.003" (0.08mm) necessitates adjustment of through-hole pad spacing. Additionally, the 12 A UL current rating is lower than the main part's 15 A rating and must be verified against circuit requirements.

Q: What is the primary difference between Phoenix Contact 1755804 and 1924376?

A: Both parts share identical mechanical specifications and 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch. The primary difference is current capacity: 1755804 is rated at 12 A UL, while 1924376 is rated at 16 A UL. Selection depends on circuit current requirements. Both maintain 300 V UL voltage rating and are suitable for direct substitution with the main part.

Q: Is the On Shore Technology EDSTLZ955/9 suitable for through-hole PCB assembly?

A: The EDSTLZ955/9 is classified as a Solder mounting type rather than Through Hole. This part is designed for direct solder attachment to PCB pads and is not intended for through-hole insertion. The insulation height of 0.154" (3.90mm) is significantly lower than the main part's 0.472" (12.00mm), reflecting its surface-mount solder design. Use this part only in applications where solder mounting is specified.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance certification. The main part carries RoHS Compliant status. All parts meet current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution.

Q: What is the impact of the contact tail length difference between the main part and substitutes?

A: The main part has a contact tail length of 0.138" (3.50mm), while all substitute parts have 0.154" (3.90mm). This 0.016" (0.40mm) difference affects PCB through-hole depth and solder fillet formation. Verify that PCB pad depth and copper thickness accommodate the longer tail length to ensure proper solder joint formation and mechanical stability.

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 796636-9 be used in applications requiring IEC compliance?

A: The main part does not specify IEC current or voltage ratings. Phoenix Contact substitutes 1755587, 1755804, and 1924376 provide IEC compliance options with ratings ranging from 12 A to 16 A at 400 V to 630 V IEC. If IEC compliance is required, select an appropriate Phoenix Contact substitute based on circuit voltage and current specifications.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each substitute part?

A: The main part operates from -40°C to 110°C. Phoenix Contact substitutes (1755587, 1755804, 1924376) do not specify operating temperature ranges in the provided data. On Shore Technology EDSTLZ955/9 operates from -30°C to 105°C, which is narrower than the main part. Verify operating temperature requirements against application specifications before selecting a substitute.

Q: Are all parts available in the same packaging format?

A: Yes. All parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. Inventory availability varies: TE Connectivity 796636-9 has 807 pieces in stock, Phoenix Contact 1755587 has 1895 pieces, Phoenix Contact 1755804 has 1978 pieces, Phoenix Contact 1924376 has 778 pieces, and On Shore Technology EDSTLZ955/9 has 1262 pieces.
