The 794068-1: The shrouded 4-wall design and locking ramp fastening provide a secure, vibration-resistant mate with matching Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK receptacles.
If your assembly requires RoHS compliance, the tin-plated alternatives in the series (e.g., 4-1775099-7) are a better fit.
The locking ramp engages audibly on full insertion, and the 4-wall shroud prevents misalignment during mating. Termination is solder to through-hole — the 0.175" (4.45mm) post length provides adequate stand-off for wave soldering. The tin-lead layer provides good corrosion resistance and solderability, but limits mating cycles compared to gold-plated contacts.
Cross-Reference and Alternatives
The closest functional alternative is TE 4-1775099-7, a 20-position header with 4.20mm pitch and tin plating. The 4.20mm pitch is a near-match but not identical — confirm the board footprint before substituting. The 4-1775099-7 is RoHS compliant and rated 9A, 250VAC. Other peers in the Mini-Universal MATE-N-LOK family include 1318699-3 and 1-1871673-2, but these differ in position count and plating. No direct pin-compatible second source exists for the 794068-1 — the board layout is specific to the 4.14mm pitch and 16-position pattern.
