Phoenix Contact 0707730 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 0707730 is an 8-position terminal block header with male pins, designed for front panel wire connection applications. This component features a screw mount front flange configuration with wire wrap terminals on the rear panel connection. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 0707730 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Voltage rating (300 V UL) and current rating (10 A UL) must match exactly
Physical Configuration: 8 positions per level, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, and 2.362" (60.00mm) width must be identical
Mechanical Interface: Screw mount front flange panel mount type and compatible panel thickness range (0.020 ~ 0.157")
Connector Type: Front panel connection as header with male pins
Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 1)

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 0707060 satisfies all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary distinction lies in the rear panel wire connection type: the 0707060 utilizes quick connect solder eyelet terminals (0.110" / 2.80mm) instead of wire wrap terminals. This difference does not affect front panel compatibility or electrical performance within the specified ratings.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 0707060 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 0707730 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical voltage (300 V UL) and current (10 A UL) ratings, ensuring direct functional equivalence in circuit applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch (5.00mm), width (60.00mm), and panel mount configuration (screw mount front flange) confirm mechanical interchangeability within the specified panel thickness range.

Product Status Advantage: The 0707060 carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance, providing superior long-term availability and regulatory alignment compared to the obsolete 0707730.

Rear Connection Consideration: The substitution introduces a rear panel connection change from wire wrap terminals to quick connect solder eyelet terminals. This modification requires assessment of existing rear panel wiring infrastructure and connection methodology in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0707060 directly replace the 0707730 in existing designs?

A: Front panel compatibility is direct and complete. The 0707060 maintains identical male pin header configuration, pitch, and electrical ratings. Rear panel integration requires evaluation of the connection type change from wire wrap to quick connect solder eyelet terminals.

Q: What is the significance of the rear panel connection difference?

A: The 0707730 uses wire wrap terminals for rear panel connection, while the 0707060 uses quick connect solder eyelet terminals (0.110" / 2.80mm). Both connection types are mechanically and electrically functional within the specified ratings. Selection depends on existing rear panel wiring harness compatibility and assembly methodology.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 0707730 carries RoHS compliance status, while the 0707060 carries ROHS3 compliance status. Both meet environmental regulatory requirements. The 0707060's ROHS3 status reflects current regulatory standards and provides enhanced long-term compliance assurance.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts?

A: The 0707730 (obsolete) has 703 pieces in stock. The 0707060 (active) has 1070 pieces in stock, providing superior availability for new procurement.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 300 V UL and 10 A UL, with identical position count (8), pitch (5.00mm), and lock opening feature.

Q: What packaging differences exist?

A: The 0707730 packaging specification is not provided. The 0707060 is supplied in bulk packaging.
