TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-284513-2 Terminal Block Header Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-284513-2 is a 12-position terminal block header from the Buchanan series, designed for through-hole solder mounting applications. This component features male pins with 4-side shrouding, a 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, and 90° right-angle orientation. The part is currently active in production with 905 units in stock.

Terminal block headers of this specification are essential in industrial control systems, power distribution modules, and signal routing applications where reliable electrical connections and mechanical stability are required. Equivalent substitute parts become necessary when primary inventory is depleted, when supply chain disruptions occur, or when design flexibility across manufacturing partners is required.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part: TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 1-284513-2

The TE Connectivity 1-284513-2 is the specified component with active production status and full compliance to ROHS3 and UL94 V-0 standards. This part supports the maximum current rating of 11 A at 300 V UL voltage specification. The Buchanan series housing is constructed from Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6, providing established thermal and mechanical performance characteristics.

Substitute Part: Phoenix Contact 1803374

The Phoenix Contact 1803374 from the COMBICON MC series is a direct functional equivalent with identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications. This substitute maintains full compliance with ROHS3 and UL94 V-0 material flammability requirements. The Phoenix Contact housing material is Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), which provides equivalent performance within the specified operating envelope.

Selection Criteria:

Both parts are active products with current manufacturing status. The Phoenix Contact 1803374 carries a lower UL current rating of 8 A compared to the TE Connectivity specification of 11 A. Circuit designs operating at currents between 8 A and 11 A must use the primary TE Connectivity part. Designs operating at 8 A or below may use either part interchangeably. Both parts meet identical voltage, temperature, and compliance requirements. The insulation height difference of 0.002" (0.05mm) is within standard manufacturing tolerances and does not affect PCB layout or mechanical fit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1803374 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 1-284513-2 in all applications?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1803374 is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications operating at 8 A or below. Applications requiring the full 11 A current capacity must use the TE Connectivity 1-284513-2. Both parts share identical pitch, position count, orientation, and mounting specifications.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height difference between these parts?

A: The insulation height difference of 0.002" (0.05mm) between the TE Connectivity part at 0.287" and the Phoenix Contact part at 0.285" is within standard manufacturing tolerances for this component category. This variation does not affect PCB layout, clearance requirements, or mechanical assembly.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Both the TE Connectivity 1-284513-2 and Phoenix Contact 1803374 are ROHS3 compliant. Both parts also meet UL94 V-0 material flammability requirements and carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: What is the difference in housing material between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-284513-2 uses Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6 housing material. The Phoenix Contact 1803374 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) housing material. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards and provide equivalent performance within the specified operating temperature range of -40°C to 110°C.

Q: Can these parts be mixed in the same assembly?

A: Yes, both parts can be used in the same assembly provided that circuit segments using the Phoenix Contact 1803374 do not exceed 8 A current flow. All other electrical and mechanical specifications are identical, allowing interchangeable use within current rating constraints.

Q: What certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated for material flammability, classified under ECCN EAR99, and assigned HTSUS code 8536.69.4040. Both carry MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings, indicating no special storage or handling requirements.

Q: Are there any operating temperature limitations that differ between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 1-284513-2 specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 110°C. The Phoenix Contact 1803374 does not provide an explicit operating temperature specification in the available data. For applications requiring confirmed temperature performance across the full -40°C to 110°C range, the TE Connectivity part provides documented specification.
