TE Connectivity 1-284512-1 Terminal Block Header Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity 1-284512-1 is an 11-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on four sides, featuring a 0.138" (3.50mm) pitch and 90° right-angle orientation for through-hole mounting. This component is classified as Active product status and is designed for solder termination applications requiring electrical connectivity in industrial and commercial equipment.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when alternative manufacturers offer terminal block headers with matching mechanical and electrical specifications, enabling direct replacement in circuit designs without modification to PCB layouts or connector interfaces.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the TE Connectivity 1-284512-1 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that must match or exceed the main part specifications:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 11
• Pitch: 0.138" (3.50mm)
• Header Orientation: 90°, Right Angle
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side)
• Termination Style: Solder
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Voltage - UL: 300 V minimum
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Contact Mating Finish: Tin
• RoHS Compliance: Required

The substitute parts identified—Weidmüller 1605160000 and Phoenix Contact 1844304—satisfy all mandatory parameters and are therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part in applications requiring these specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

TE Connectivity 1-284512-1 (Primary Part)

The TE Connectivity 1-284512-1 is the original specification component with Active product status and RoHS compliance. This part is suitable for applications requiring 11 A current capacity at 300 V UL rating. The Polyamide (PA66) housing material and Phosphor Bronze contact material provide the specified electrical and thermal performance characteristics.

Weidmüller 1605160000 (Substitute)

The Weidmüller 1605160000 is an Active product with RoHS compliance and REACH Unaffected status. This substitute maintains the 300 V UL voltage rating and provides 10 A UL current capacity. The component features IEC ratings of 17 A at 320 V, exceeding UL specifications. The PBT housing material and Copper Alloy contacts are suitable for equivalent applications. Operating temperature range is -50°C to 100°C. IP10 ingress protection is provided.

Phoenix Contact 1844304 (Substitute)

The Phoenix Contact 1844304 is an Active product with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. This substitute maintains the 300 V UL voltage rating and provides 8 A UL current capacity. The component features IEC ratings of 12 A at 250 V. The PBT housing material supports equivalent mechanical performance. Contact tail length and insulation height are within acceptable tolerance ranges for PCB mounting compatibility.

All three parts satisfy mandatory electrical and mechanical parameters for direct substitution in terminal block header applications requiring 11-position, 3.50mm pitch, 90° right-angle through-hole solder termination with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Weidmüller 1605160000 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 1-284512-1?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical specifications (11 positions, 3.50mm pitch, 90° orientation, through-hole solder termination) and electrical ratings (300 V UL). The Weidmüller part meets all mandatory substitution criteria and is electrically and mechanically interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference in current capacity between the three parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-284512-1 is rated for 11 A UL, the Weidmüller 1605160000 for 10 A UL, and the Phoenix Contact 1844304 for 8 A UL. Applications requiring current levels above 8 A should use either the TE Connectivity or Weidmüller parts.

Q: Are there differences in housing material between the parts?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity part uses Polyamide (PA66) housing, while both the Weidmüller and Phoenix Contact parts use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) housing. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for equivalent thermal and mechanical performance.

Q: Do all three parts have the same contact tail length?

A: No. The TE Connectivity and Phoenix Contact parts have 0.134" (3.40mm) contact tail length, while the Weidmüller part has 0.126" (3.20mm). This difference may affect PCB hole engagement depth but does not prevent substitution in standard through-hole applications.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-284512-1 operates from -40°C to 110°C. The Weidmüller 1605160000 operates from -50°C to 100°C. The Phoenix Contact 1844304 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data.

Q: Are all parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity and Weidmüller parts are RoHS Compliant. The Phoenix Contact part is ROHS3 Compliant. All three parts meet RoHS requirements for lead-free solder and restricted substance compliance.

Q: What is the difference in ingress protection rating?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-284512-1 and Phoenix Contact 1844304 do not specify ingress protection ratings. The Weidmüller 1605160000 provides IP10 ingress protection, offering additional protection against solid object ingress.

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing designs without PCB modification?

A: Yes. All three parts maintain the same 11-position, 3.50mm pitch, and 90° right-angle orientation. Minor variations in contact tail length and insulation height are within acceptable tolerances for standard through-hole PCB designs and do not require layout modifications.
