Phoenix Contact 1704563 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1704563 is a 10-position terminal block header with male pins and partial shroud, designed for 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch vertical 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 part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1704563 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: Substitute parts must maintain 10 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts.
• Header Type & Orientation: Vertical through-hole male pin headers are required; shroud configuration (partial vs. full) may vary provided electrical performance is maintained.
• Termination & Mounting: Solder termination and through-hole mounting are mandatory for PCB integration.
• Electrical Ratings: Substitute parts must meet or exceed the UL voltage (300V minimum) and current (10A minimum) specifications to ensure safe operation within the original design envelope.
• Compliance & Material Standards: RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating are required for regulatory and safety adherence.

The Amphenol Anytek OQ1070500000G qualifies as a functional substitute based on these criteria, despite differences in shroud design (2-side shrouded vs. partial shroud) and housing material (thermoplastic resin vs. polyamide).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol Anytek OQ1070500000G (06-500 series) is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1704563. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

• Compliance Alignment: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance, ensuring regulatory requirements are met in replacement applications.
• Electrical Performance: The OQ1070500000G exceeds the original UL current rating (12A vs. 10A) while maintaining the 300V voltage specification, providing equivalent or superior electrical performance.
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical 10-position, 5.00mm pitch configuration ensures direct compatibility with existing mating connectors and PCB footprints.
• Active Product Status: The OQ1070500000G is an active product with established supply chain availability, addressing the obsolescence of the original part.
• Physical Considerations: The substitute features increased contact tail length (4.00mm vs. 4.60mm) and insulation height (12.00mm vs. 11.20mm). These dimensional differences require verification against specific PCB layout constraints and mating connector specifications before implementation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol Anytek OQ1070500000G be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 1704563?

A: Yes, the OQ1070500000G qualifies as a functional substitute based on matching position count, pitch, orientation, termination style, and electrical ratings. However, the increased contact tail length and insulation height must be verified against your specific PCB design and mating connector specifications to ensure mechanical fit.

Q: What is the primary difference between the partial shroud (1704563) and 2-side shrouded (OQ1070500000G) designs?

A: Shroud configuration affects mechanical protection and insertion guidance during mating. The 2-side shrouded design of the OQ1070500000G provides enhanced protection and alignment compared to the partial shroud of the original part. This difference does not affect electrical performance but may impact physical accessibility and assembly procedures.

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

A: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance. The OQ1070500000G carries ROHS3 compliance, which represents a more recent regulatory standard. Both parts are suitable for applications requiring these certifications.

Q: What should be verified before implementing the OQ1070500000G as a replacement?

A: Verify PCB footprint compatibility, particularly the contact tail length (4.00mm vs. 4.60mm) and insulation height (12.00mm vs. 11.20mm). Confirm mating connector compatibility with the 2-side shrouded design. Validate that the 12A current rating of the substitute meets or exceeds your application requirements.

Q: Is the OQ1070500000G available in the same packaging as the original part?

A: The OQ1070500000G is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the original part packaging information was not specified. Confirm packaging and quantity requirements with your supplier for procurement planning.
