TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 796695-7 Terminal Block Header Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 796695-7 is a 7-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on four sides, designed for 90-degree right-angle through-hole mounting. This component operates at 300 V UL and 11 A UL current rating with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 110°C. The part is manufactured from polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 housing with brass contacts and tin mating finish. The 796695-7 maintains active product status and is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level).

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified to provide design flexibility, accommodate supply chain variations, and support system-level requirements where the primary part may be unavailable or where alternative electrical and mechanical specifications align with application parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of terminal block headers is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary criteria for equivalency include:

Electrical Parameters: Voltage rating (UL), current rating (UL), and contact material composition must support the same or higher electrical specifications as the primary part.

Mechanical Parameters: Number of positions, pitch spacing (0.138" / 3.50mm), header orientation (90-degree right angle), mounting type (through hole), and contact tail length (0.134" / 3.40mm) must be identical to ensure PCB footprint compatibility and mechanical fit.

Physical Dimensions: Insulation height (0.285" / 7.25mm) must match to prevent clearance conflicts in constrained assemblies.

Compliance & Reliability: RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating are required for equivalent substitution. MSL 1 (unlimited) ensures no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage and handling.

Termination & Contact Finish: Solder termination style and tin contact mating finish must be consistent across substitute parts.

The Phoenix Contact 1844265 qualifies as a substitute based on these criteria, with identical mechanical dimensions, matching pitch, orientation, and mounting configuration, while maintaining equivalent electrical performance and compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 796695-7 Selection Criteria:

The TE Connectivity 796695-7 is the primary specification when the application requires 11 A UL current rating. This part is manufactured from polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 housing and is actively produced with 784 pieces in current inventory. The component maintains ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification, suitable for industrial and commercial applications requiring the specified electrical performance.

Phoenix Contact 1844265 Selection Criteria:

The Phoenix Contact 1844265 serves as a functional substitute when the application current requirement does not exceed 8 A UL or when IEC compliance at 12 A is specified. This part is manufactured from polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing, offering alternative material properties while maintaining identical mechanical dimensions and pitch spacing. The Phoenix Contact 1844265 is actively produced with 1,164 pieces in current inventory. Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Substitution Applicability:

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 796695-7 with the Phoenix Contact 1844265 is applicable when the application current requirement is 8 A UL or lower. The identical pitch (0.138" / 3.50mm), contact tail length (0.134" / 3.40mm), insulation height (0.285" / 7.25mm), and mounting configuration ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility. Both parts support 300 V UL voltage rating and maintain equivalent compliance certifications. The housing material difference (PA66 nylon versus PBT) does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit within the specified parameter range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1844265 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 796695-7 in all applications?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1844265 is a direct mechanical and electrical substitute when the application current requirement does not exceed 8 A UL. Both parts share identical pitch (0.138" / 3.50mm), contact tail length (0.134" / 3.40mm), insulation height (0.285" / 7.25mm), and mounting configuration. If the application requires 11 A UL current capacity, the TE Connectivity 796695-7 must be used.

Q: What is the difference in housing material between these two parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 796695-7 uses polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6 housing, while the Phoenix Contact 1844265 uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and do not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit within the specified operating parameters.
