Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Equivalent:

The TE Connectivity 1776038-5 is a direct equivalent to the 796639-5. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (15 A at 300 V), mechanical configuration (5 positions, 0.200" pitch, 90° right angle), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0, MSL 1). The 1776038-5 is classified within the same Buchanan series and maintains full functional interchangeability. Minor dimensional variations in contact tail length (0.126" versus 0.138") and insulation height (0.341" versus 0.329") do not affect circuit performance or PCB mounting compatibility.

Compatible Substitutes:

The Molex 0395321005 is a compatible substitute meeting all primary substitution criteria. This part maintains identical pitch (0.200" / 5.08mm), electrical ratings (15 A, 300 V), and compliance standards (ROHS3, UL94 V-0, MSL 1). The primary difference is the increased insulation height (0.472" versus 0.329"), which may require PCB layout verification to ensure clearance with adjacent components. Operating temperature range is reduced to -40°C ~ 105°C compared to the primary part's -40°C ~ 110°C specification.

The Molex 0395221005 is a compatible substitute with a documented pitch variation. This part operates at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing compared to the primary part's 0.200" (5.08mm) specification. This 0.003" (0.08mm) difference requires PCB footprint verification before implementation. All electrical ratings (15 A, 300 V), compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0, MSL 1), and mechanical configuration (5 positions, 90° right angle, through hole) are maintained. Operating temperature range is -40°C ~ 105°C.

All substitute parts carry Active product status and are manufactured by established connector suppliers with equivalent quality and reliability standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1776038-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 796639-5 without PCB modification?

A: Yes. The 1776038-5 is a direct equivalent with identical pitch spacing (0.200" / 5.08mm), electrical ratings, and mounting configuration. Minor dimensional variations in contact tail length and insulation height do not require PCB redesign.

Q: What is the primary difference between the Molex 0395321005 and the TE Connectivity 796639-5?

A: The Molex 0395321005 has an increased insulation height of 0.472" compared to 0.329" on the primary part. This dimension must be verified against PCB layout to ensure clearance with adjacent components. All electrical specifications and compliance certifications are identical.

Q: Can the Molex 0395221005 be used as a direct replacement?

A: The Molex 0395221005 operates at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing, which differs from the primary part's 0.200" (5.08mm) specification. This 0.003" (0.08mm) difference requires PCB footprint verification. If the PCB is designed for 0.200" pitch, the 0395221005 will not align correctly with the mounting holes.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All listed substitute parts (1776038-5, 0395221005, 0395321005) are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings, matching the primary part's compliance profile.

Q: What is the operating temperature difference between the primary part and Molex substitutes?

A: The TE Connectivity 796639-5 operates from -40°C to 110°C. The Molex 0395321005 and 0395221005 operate from -40°C to 105°C. This 5°C reduction in maximum operating temperature must be evaluated against application requirements.

Q: Do all parts have the same current and voltage ratings?

A: Yes. All listed parts (796639-5, 1776038-5, 0395221005, 0395321005) are rated for 15 A at 300 V per UL specifications, ensuring electrical interchangeability.

Q: What contact material differences exist between the parts?

A: The TE Connectivity parts (796639-5 and 1776038-5) use copper alloy contacts. The Molex parts (0395221005 and 0395321005) use brass contacts. Both materials are tin-plated and suitable for solder termination applications.

Q: Are all parts available in bulk packaging?

A: Yes. All listed parts are supplied in bulk packaging format, consistent with standard terminal block distribution practices.
