Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 796700-5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters: 5-position configuration, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing, 90° right angle header orientation, through-hole solder termination, 15 A UL current rating, 300 V UL voltage rating, and UL94 V-0 flammability classification. All substitute parts listed maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications.

The substitute parts are grouped into two categories:

Direct Equivalent (TE Connectivity 1776148-5): Maintains identical functional specifications with Active product status and RoHS compliance. Minor variations exist in housing color (Black vs. Blue), contact tail length (0.126" vs. 0.138"), and insulation height (0.341" vs. 0.329"), which do not affect electrical performance or mounting compatibility.

Similar Alternatives (Molex 0395221005 and 0395321005): Provide functional equivalence with identical pitch, position count, orientation, and electrical ratings. These parts differ in manufacturer series designation, contact material composition (Brass vs. Copper Alloy), and specific dimensional characteristics. The Molex 0395321005 operates at a slightly different pitch tolerance (0.200" / 5.08mm) and exhibits greater insulation height (0.472"), requiring verification of PCB layout compatibility.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: TE Connectivity 1776148-5

The TE Connectivity 1776148-5 is the recommended direct substitute for the obsolete 796700-5. This part maintains identical electrical specifications, pitch, position count, and orientation. The 1776148-5 carries Active product status and RoHS Compliant certification, providing supply chain continuity and regulatory compliance for new designs. Minor dimensional variations in contact tail length and insulation height do not impact electrical performance or standard PCB mounting patterns. The part is available in bulk packaging with 1051 units in stock.

Secondary Alternatives: Molex 0395221005 and 0395321005

The Molex 0395221005 provides functional equivalence with identical pitch (0.197" / 5.00mm) and electrical ratings. This part is ROHS3 Compliant and Active, with 1474 units available. The operating temperature range is reduced to -40°C ~ 105°C compared to the main part specification of -40°C ~ 110°C.

The Molex 0395321005 operates at a slightly different pitch (0.200" / 5.08mm) with significantly greater insulation height (0.472" vs. 0.329"). This part is suitable only when PCB layout accommodates the increased pitch tolerance and vertical clearance requirements. The 0395321005 is ROHS3 Compliant and Active, with 3578 units in stock.

All substitute parts maintain the required 15 A UL current rating, 300 V UL voltage rating, UL94 V-0 flammability classification, and tin contact mating finish.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1776148-5 be used as a direct replacement for the 796700-5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1776148-5 maintains identical electrical specifications, pitch, position count, and mounting orientation. Minor dimensional variations in contact tail length (0.126" vs. 0.138") and insulation height (0.341" vs. 0.329") do not affect standard through-hole PCB mounting compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: What is the primary difference between the TE Connectivity 1776148-5 and the Molex 0395221005?

A: Both parts maintain identical pitch (0.197" / 5.00mm), position count, and electrical ratings. The primary differences are manufacturer series designation (Buchanan vs. Eurostyle ESE 39522), contact material (Copper Alloy vs. Brass), and operating temperature range (1776148-5: -40°C ~ 110°C; 0395221005: -40°C ~ 105°C). The 1776148-5 is the preferred substitute as it maintains the full temperature range of the original part.

Q: Why is the Molex 0395321005 listed as a similar alternative rather than a direct substitute?

A: The 0395321005 operates at a different pitch specification (0.200" / 5.08mm vs. 0.197" / 5.00mm) and exhibits significantly greater insulation height (0.472" vs. 0.329"). These dimensional differences require PCB layout verification to ensure compatibility with existing mounting patterns and clearance requirements. The pitch tolerance difference may affect connector mating alignment in applications with tight spacing constraints.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: The TE Connectivity 1776148-5 is RoHS Compliant. Both Molex parts (0395221005 and 0395321005) are ROHS3 Compliant. The original 796700-5 carries "Not applicable" RoHS status due to its obsolete classification. For new designs requiring RoHS compliance, all three substitute parts satisfy regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the inventory availability for each substitute part?

A: TE Connectivity 1776148-5: 1051 units in stock (Bulk packaging). Molex 0395221005: 1474 units in stock (Bulk packaging). Molex 0395321005: 3578 units in stock (Bulk packaging).

Q: Do the substitute parts maintain the same current and voltage ratings?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain the 15 A UL current rating and 300 V UL voltage rating specified for the original 796700-5. All parts also maintain the UL94 V-0 flammability classification and tin contact mating finish.

Q: What packaging options are available for the substitute parts?

A: All substitute parts are available in Bulk packaging. The original 796700-5 packaging specification was not provided in the technical data.
