Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the EDSTLZ965/7 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions: Must be 7
• Pitch: Must be 0.300" (7.62mm)
• Header Orientation: Must be Vertical
• Type: Must be Header with Male Pins and Shrouded (4 Side) configuration
• Voltage Rating: Must meet or exceed 300 V UL
• Operating Temperature Range: Must encompass or exceed -30°C ~ 105°C
• Housing Material: Polyamide (PA) or equivalent nylon-based materials
• RoHS Compliance: Must be RoHS Compliant or ROHS3 Compliant

The substitute part 796980-7 from TE Connectivity AMP Connectors meets these core electrical and mechanical parameters, with the primary difference being the mounting method (Through Hole vs. Solder) and enhanced operating temperature range.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the EDSTLZ965/7 and 796980-7 are active products with full RoHS compliance certifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the specific mounting requirement of the application:

• EDSTLZ965/7 is appropriate for designs requiring surface-mount solder attachment with a compact profile (0.154" insulation height).
• 796980-7 is appropriate for designs requiring through-hole mounting with enhanced mechanical stability and a taller insulation profile (0.472" insulation height).

The 796980-7 offers an extended operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 110°C) compared to the EDSTLZ965/7 (-30°C ~ 105°C), providing additional thermal margin for demanding applications. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (300 V UL) and pitch specifications (0.300" / 7.62mm).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 796980-7 be used as a direct replacement for EDSTLZ965/7?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed for the core parameters (7 positions, 0.300" pitch, vertical orientation, male pins, 4-side shrouding, 300 V rating). However, the mounting method differs: EDSTLZ965/7 uses solder mounting while 796980-7 uses through-hole mounting. PCB design modifications are required to accommodate the different mounting style and contact tail dimensions.

Q: What are the key differences in physical dimensions?

A: The contact tail length differs (0.154" vs. 0.138") and the insulation height differs significantly (0.154" vs. 0.472"). These dimensional differences require PCB layout adjustments and must be verified against the specific application's space constraints.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. EDSTLZ965/7 is ROHS3 Compliant and 796980-7 is RoHS Compliant. Both meet current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Which part has better thermal performance?

A: The 796980-7 supports an extended operating temperature range of -40°C ~ 110°C compared to the EDSTLZ965/7 range of -30°C ~ 105°C. This provides 10°C additional margin at both the lower and upper temperature limits.

Q: What is the housing material composition?

A: EDSTLZ965/7 uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon, while 796980-7 uses Polyamide (PA66) Nylon 6/6. Both are polyamide-based materials with equivalent electrical and mechanical properties for this application category.
