TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 796695-6 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 796695-6 is a 6 Position Terminal Block Header with male pins, shrouded on four sides, featuring a 0.138" (3.50mm) pitch and 90° right angle orientation. This component is designed for through-hole solder termination applications and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 110°C. The part is classified as Active product status and is RoHS Compliant with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters: 6-position configuration, 3.50mm pitch, 90° right angle header orientation, shrouded male pin design, through-hole mounting, and solder termination. Substitute components must maintain compatibility with these fundamental specifications to ensure direct functional replacement in circuit board applications.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 796695-6 are qualified based on the following core parameters that determine functional interchangeability:

Critical Matching Parameters:

Number of Positions: 6
Pitch: 0.138" (3.50mm)
Header Orientation: 90°, Right Angle
Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side)
Termination Style: Solder
Mounting Type: Through Hole
Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

Voltage - UL: 300 V (minimum requirement)
Current - UL: 10 A or greater (minimum requirement)

All identified substitute parts meet or exceed these core specifications. Variations in contact tail length, insulation height, housing material composition, and color do not affect functional substitution when the above parameters are matched. Operating temperature ranges, contact material composition, and ingress protection ratings may vary between substitutes and the main part; these variations are documented for application-specific evaluation but do not preclude substitution based on the defined parameter set.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts—Weidmüller 1761582001, Weidmüller 1841670000, and Phoenix Contact 1844252—are qualified as functional equivalents to the TE Connectivity 796695-6 based on matching core electrical and mechanical parameters.

Weidmüller 1761582001 and Weidmüller 1841670000 are both members of the Omnimate SL series and share identical electrical ratings (10 A UL, 300 V UL) and flammability compliance (UL94 V-0). Both are RoHS Compliant and Active product status. The primary distinction between these two Weidmüller parts is contact tail length: 1761582001 features 0.059" (1.50mm) tail length, while 1841670000 features 0.126" (3.20mm) tail length. Selection between these two should be based on printed circuit board through-hole depth requirements.

Phoenix Contact 1844252 from the COMBICON MC series meets all core substitution criteria with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 Compliance. This part carries a lower UL current rating of 8 A compared to the main part's 11 A rating; applications requiring the full 11 A capacity should not use this substitute.

All substitute parts maintain 300 V UL voltage rating, 6-position configuration, 3.50mm pitch, 90° right angle orientation, and through-hole solder termination compatibility with the original TE Connectivity 796695-6 component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What are the primary criteria for substituting the TE Connectivity 796695-6?

A: The TE Connectivity 796695-6 can be substituted with parts that maintain the following specifications: 6-position configuration, 0.138" (3.50mm) pitch, 90° right angle header orientation, male pins with 4-side shrouding, solder termination, through-hole mounting, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and minimum 300 V UL voltage rating with minimum 10 A UL current rating.

Q: Are there differences in current rating among the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 796695-6 is rated for 11 A UL. The Weidmüller substitutes (1761582001 and 1841670000) are rated for 10 A UL, which is acceptable for most applications but represents a 1 A reduction. The Phoenix Contact 1844252 is rated for 8 A UL, representing a 3 A reduction. Applications requiring the full 11 A capacity should use the original part or the Weidmüller substitutes rated at 10 A.

Q: What is the difference between Weidmüller 1761582001 and 1841670000?

A: Both parts are Omnimate SL series components with identical electrical and mechanical specifications except for contact tail length. The 1761582001 has a 0.059" (1.50mm) contact tail length, while the 1841670000 has a 0.126" (3.20mm) contact tail length. Selection depends on the through-hole depth of the target printed circuit board.

Q: Do all substitute parts have the same operating temperature range?

A: No. The TE Connectivity 796695-6 operates from -40°C to 110°C. The Weidmüller substitutes operate from -50°C to 100°C, providing lower temperature capability but reduced upper temperature limit. The Phoenix Contact 1844252 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. Applications with specific temperature requirements should verify compatibility with the selected substitute.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS Compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 796695-6 is RoHS Compliant. Both Weidmüller substitutes (1761582001 and 1841670000) are RoHS Compliant. The Phoenix Contact 1844252 is ROHS3 Compliant. All parts meet RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the difference in housing material between the main part and substitutes?

A: The TE Connectivity 796695-6 uses Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6 housing material. The Weidmüller substitutes use Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), Glass Filled housing. The Phoenix Contact 1844252 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) housing. These material differences do not affect functional substitution but may influence mechanical properties and environmental resistance in specific applications.

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1844252 be used in all applications where the TE Connectivity 796695-6 is specified?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1844252 can be used in applications where the 8 A UL current rating is sufficient. Applications requiring higher current capacity should not use this substitute. All other electrical and mechanical parameters are compatible.

Q: What is the inventory status of these substitute parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 796695-6 has 977 pieces in stock. Among substitutes, the Phoenix Contact 1844252 has the highest inventory at 2635 pieces, followed by Weidmüller 1841670000 at 815 pieces, and Weidmüller 1761582001 at 618 pieces.
