Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 1-282832-6 terminal block header is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Position and Pitch Configuration: The substitute part must maintain 15 positions arranged in a single level with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing. This ensures mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts.

Connector Type and Orientation: The substitute must be a header with male pins in unshrouded, vertical orientation to match the through-hole mounting configuration and wire entry requirements.

Electrical Ratings: The substitute must meet or exceed the UL voltage rating of 300 V and current rating of 12 A to ensure safe operation within the same electrical specifications.

Termination and Mounting: Solder termination and through-hole mounting type are mandatory for PCB assembly compatibility.

Physical Dimensions: Contact tail length (0.138" / 3.50mm) and insulation height (0.079" / 2.00mm) must match to ensure proper PCB penetration and clearance.

Compliance and Material Standards: The substitute must maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 classification to meet regulatory and environmental requirements.

The Phoenix Contact 1933312 terminal block header meets all these criteria and is classified as a direct substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the TE Connectivity 1-282832-6 and Phoenix Contact 1933312 terminal block headers are Active products with full ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 classification, indicating unrestricted moisture handling and environmental compliance. Both components meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards and are suitable for applications requiring flame-retardant materials.

The Phoenix Contact 1933312 offers enhanced electrical ratings with 16 A UL current capacity and 400 V IEC voltage rating, compared to the TE Connectivity part's 12 A UL and unspecified IEC ratings. This makes the Phoenix Contact substitute suitable for applications requiring higher current or voltage margins.

Both parts maintain identical mechanical specifications: 15-position single-level configuration, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, vertical orientation, solder termination, through-hole mounting, and matching contact tail and insulation heights. These dimensional and functional equivalencies ensure direct substitution without PCB layout modifications.

Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, cost considerations, and whether the enhanced electrical ratings of the Phoenix Contact component provide value for the specific application. Both parts are suitable for equivalent performance in standard terminal block header applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1933312 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 1-282832-6?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications (15 positions, 0.197" pitch, vertical orientation, solder termination, through-hole mounting) and physical dimensions (contact tail length and insulation height). The Phoenix Contact part meets or exceeds all electrical ratings and compliance requirements of the TE Connectivity part.

Q: What are the key differences between these two terminal block headers?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer series designation (Buchanan versus COMBICON PST), housing color (green versus black), and electrical ratings. The Phoenix Contact 1933312 provides higher UL current capacity (16 A versus 12 A) and IEC voltage rating (400 V versus unspecified). Both maintain identical UL voltage rating (300 V) and mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: No. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and classified as MSL 1 (Unlimited). Both are Active products with equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance status.

Q: Will the Phoenix Contact 1933312 fit the same PCB footprint as the TE Connectivity 1-282832-6?

A: Yes. Both parts have identical pitch (0.197" / 5.00mm), contact tail length (0.138" / 3.50mm), and insulation height (0.079" / 2.00mm). PCB layout modifications are not required for substitution.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these terminal block headers?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-282832-6 is rated for -40°C to 110°C. Operating temperature range for the Phoenix Contact 1933312 is not specified in the provided data.

Q: Are both parts suitable for solder termination on standard PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts feature solder termination and through-hole mounting, compatible with standard PCB assembly processes and wave or reflow soldering methods.

Q: What is the current handling capacity difference between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-282832-6 is rated for 12 A (UL). The Phoenix Contact 1933312 is rated for 16 A (UL) and 12 A (IEC), providing higher current capacity for the UL standard.
