Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 796700-2 terminal block header is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Voltage rating (300 V UL), current capacity (15 A UL), and contact material (copper alloy with tin mating finish) must remain constant.

Mechanical Configuration: Number of positions (2), pitch spacing (0.197" / 5.00mm), header orientation (90° right angle), shrouded design (4-side), and through-hole mounting must be identical.

Environmental & Material Compliance: Operating temperature range (-40°C to 110°C), material flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1) must be maintained.

Termination Method: Solder termination style is required for circuit board integration.

The substitute part TE Connectivity 1776148-2 satisfies all critical substitution criteria. This part maintains identical electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, and environmental specifications while offering active product status and RoHS compliance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 1776148-2 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 796700-2 terminal block header. Both components are manufactured by TE Connectivity within the Buchanan series and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters.

Product Status Advantage: The 1776148-2 carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. The 796700-2 is obsolete and subject to supply discontinuation.

Compliance Status: The 1776148-2 is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing and distribution. The 796700-2 RoHS status is not applicable due to its obsolete classification.

Physical Dimensions: Minor variations exist in contact tail length (0.138" versus 0.126") and insulation height (0.329" versus 0.341"). These dimensional differences remain within acceptable tolerances for through-hole solder termination and do not affect electrical performance or circuit board compatibility.

Packaging: The 1776148-2 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the 796700-2 packaging specification is not provided. Bulk packaging is standard for production applications.

Selection of the 1776148-2 ensures compliance with current regulatory standards, maintains supply chain continuity, and provides equivalent functional performance for all applications currently utilizing the 796700-2 terminal block header.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1776148-2 be used as a direct replacement for the 796700-2 in existing circuit board designs?

A: Yes. The 1776148-2 maintains identical electrical ratings (300 V UL, 15 A UL), mechanical configuration (2-position, 5.00mm pitch, 90° right angle), and termination method (solder through-hole). Minor dimensional variations in contact tail length and insulation height do not affect circuit board compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: What is the primary reason for substituting the 796700-2?

A: The 796700-2 carries obsolete product status. The 1776148-2 is an active product offering equivalent specifications with continued manufacturing support and availability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The 1776148-2 is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental regulations. The 796700-2 RoHS status is not applicable due to obsolescence. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and identical electrical specifications.

Q: Do the dimensional differences between the parts affect solder joint reliability?

A: The contact tail length difference (0.138" versus 0.126") and insulation height difference (0.329" versus 0.341") are minor variations within standard manufacturing tolerances. These differences do not compromise solder joint integrity or electrical performance in through-hole applications.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute part?

A: The 1776148-2 has 818 pieces of new original stock available. The 796700-2 has 823 pieces in stock but carries obsolete status, making the 1776148-2 the recommended selection for new designs and ongoing production.

Q: Are both parts from the same manufacturer?

A: Yes. Both the 796700-2 and 1776148-2 are manufactured by TE Connectivity AMP Connectors and belong to the Buchanan series terminal block family.

Q: What packaging format is the substitute part supplied in?

A: The 1776148-2 is supplied in bulk packaging, which is standard for production component procurement.
