Phoenix Contact 1704408 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1704408 is a 10-position terminal block header with male pins and partial shroud, designed for 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch right-angle through-hole applications. This component operates at 14.6A (IEC) / 10A (UL) and 400V (IEC) / 300V (UL), featuring tin-plated contacts and UL94 V-0 rated polyamide housing.

The product is classified as obsolete. Identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity, ensure supply chain availability, and support ongoing production or maintenance requirements for systems utilizing this terminal block configuration.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1704408 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 10 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing (non-negotiable for PCB compatibility)
• Orientation & Mounting: 90° right-angle through-hole configuration
• Electrical Performance: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed application requirements
• Termination Method: Solder termination for direct PCB integration
• Shrouding Configuration: Partial or full shroud acceptable; affects mechanical fit and contact protection
• Contact Specifications: Tin-plated finish and contact tail length (0.138" / 4.60mm) for solder joint formation
• Compliance & Certification: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance for regulatory alignment

The substitute part OQ1070510000G (Amphenol Anytek) meets these core substitution criteria with compatible electrical ratings, identical pitch and position count, matching termination style, and equivalent compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol Anytek OQ1070510000G is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1704408 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: The substitute part exceeds the original UL current rating (12A vs. 10A) while maintaining the 300V voltage specification. IEC ratings are not specified for the substitute; applications requiring IEC 14.6A / 400V performance must evaluate the substitute's IEC compliance separately.

Mechanical & PCB Integration: Identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (10), orientation (90° right-angle), and contact tail length (4.60mm) ensure direct PCB footprint compatibility without layout modifications.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification and RoHS compliance status, meeting standard industrial and consumer electronics regulatory requirements. The substitute's ROHS3 designation reflects current compliance documentation standards.

Product Availability: The substitute is classified as active product status with documented inventory (977 pcs), providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete original part.

Shrouding Difference: The substitute features full 2-side shrouding compared to the original's partial shroud. This provides enhanced contact protection and may affect mechanical clearance in constrained PCB layouts; physical verification is required for space-limited applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol Anytek OQ1070510000G replace the Phoenix Contact 1704408 in existing designs?

A: Yes, for applications operating within UL electrical ratings (10A / 300V or lower). The identical 5.00mm pitch, 10-position count, 90° orientation, and 4.60mm contact tail length ensure PCB footprint compatibility. The substitute's enhanced shrouding provides additional contact protection. Designs requiring IEC 14.6A / 400V performance must confirm the substitute's IEC ratings with the manufacturer.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The main differences are shrouding configuration (partial vs. full 2-side), housing material (polyamide vs. thermoplastic resin), insulation height (11.20mm vs. 8.51mm), and product status (obsolete vs. active). Electrical performance and pitch specifications are equivalent.

Q: Will the full shrouding of the substitute affect PCB assembly?

A: The substitute's 2-side shrouding reduces insulation height from 11.20mm to 8.51mm, which may affect clearance in designs with tight vertical spacing. Verify mechanical fit in your specific PCB layout before production implementation.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The original Phoenix Contact 1704408 is RoHS Compliant, and the Amphenol Anytek OQ1070510000G is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current RoHS directive requirements.

Q: What is the contact material of the substitute?

A: The Amphenol Anytek OQ1070510000G uses copper alloy contacts with tin plating, matching the tin-plated contact finish of the original part.

Q: Is the substitute suitable for high-temperature applications?

A: The substitute specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 115°C. The original part does not provide operating temperature specifications. Confirm your application's temperature requirements against the substitute's rated range.
