Phoenix Contact 0708182 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 0708182 is a 10-position terminal block header with male pins in green, designed for front panel wire connection applications. This component features screw mount front flange installation and wire wrap terminal rear connections. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. Substitute parts must maintain electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and panel mounting specifications to ensure direct interchangeability in existing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 0708182 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Positions Per Level: 10
• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Width: 2.756" (70.00mm)
• Panel Mount Type: Screw Mount - Front Flange
• Panel Thickness Range: 0.020 ~ 0.157" (0.5 ~ 4.0mm)
• Front Panel Connection: Header, Male Pins
• Color: Green
• Series: COMBICON DFK-MSTB

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Rear Panel Wire Connection: May differ based on application requirements
• Current - UL: May be equal or higher rating
• Product Status: Active status preferred for new procurement
• RoHS Compliance Level: ROHS3 acceptable as upgrade from RoHS Compliant

The substitute part 0707170 maintains all mandatory matching parameters while offering enhanced electrical performance and active product status.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 0707170 serves as the direct substitute for the obsolete 0708182 model. Both components share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch spacing, mounting configuration, and electrical voltage specifications. The substitute part offers the following advantages:

Active Product Status: Part 0707170 maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 0708182.

Enhanced Current Rating: The substitute provides 15 A current capacity versus the original 10 A rating, delivering improved electrical performance margin for existing circuit designs.

Upgraded Compliance: ROHS3 certification on the substitute represents current regulatory compliance standards, superseding the earlier RoHS Compliant designation.

Rear Connection Flexibility: The substitute employs Quick Connect solder eyelet terminals instead of wire wrap terminals. This difference in rear panel connection method does not affect front panel interchangeability but may require evaluation of rear-side integration points in the target application.

Selection of part 0707170 is appropriate for new designs and replacement procurement where the rear connection method is compatible with system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 0707170 be used as a direct replacement for 0708182 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes, for front panel applications. Both parts maintain identical 10-position configuration, 5.00mm pitch, 70.00mm width, and screw mount front flange installation. Rear panel connection differences (wire wrap versus quick connect solder eyelet) must be evaluated based on your specific rear-side integration requirements.

Q: What is the difference in current rating between these parts?

A: The original 0708182 is rated for 10 A, while the substitute 0707170 is rated for 15 A at UL specifications. The higher rating on the substitute provides additional electrical capacity and does not restrict its use in applications designed for the lower 10 A specification.

Q: Why is 0708182 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The Phoenix Contact 0707170 represents the active equivalent within the COMBICON DFK-MSTB series, ensuring continued availability for procurement and support.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The original part carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the substitute carries ROHS3 Compliant certification. ROHS3 represents current regulatory standards and is acceptable for applications requiring RoHS compliance.

Q: What panel thickness range do these terminal blocks support?

A: Both the 0708182 and 0707170 support panel thickness from 0.020" to 0.157" (0.5mm to 4.0mm), accommodating standard panel mounting applications.

Q: Does the rear connection type affect front panel compatibility?

A: No. The rear connection difference (wire wrap terminals on 0708182 versus quick connect solder eyelet on 0707170) does not affect the front panel male pin header interface. Compatibility depends on rear-side wiring and termination methods used in your specific application.
