Phoenix Contact 1709699 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1709699 is a 4-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on all four sides, designed for 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch vertical through-hole mounting. This component operates at 12A (IEC) and 320V (IEC) with press-fit termination and tin contact mating finish. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing design and maintenance applications. Substitute parts maintain the core electrical and mechanical specifications while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1709699 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (IEC minimum 12A), voltage rating (IEC minimum 320V), and contact mating finish (tin)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 4-position configuration, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, vertical orientation, through-hole mounting, shrouded (4 side) design, and insulation height of 0.472" (12.00mm)
• Material & Safety: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and housing material suitable for the application

Both substitute parts (1792753 and 1809283) meet or exceed these core parameters. Differences in termination style (solder vs. press-fit), housing material composition, and product status are secondary considerations that do not prevent functional substitution in equivalent applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 1792753 (COMBICON CCV Series)

This substitute features solder termination, 400V IEC rating, and Liquid Crystal Polymer housing. The reduced contact tail length (0.102" vs. 0.154") requires verification of PCB pad layout compatibility. RoHS compliance and active product status support long-term availability. Current rating of 12A (IEC) and 10A (UL) meets the minimum requirement.

Part 1809283 (COMBICON MSTBVA Series)

This substitute provides solder termination, 400V IEC rating, and Polybutylene Terephthalate housing. The contact tail length matches the original part (0.154"), minimizing PCB layout modifications. ROHS3 compliance and active product status ensure regulatory alignment and supply continuity. Current rating of 12A (IEC) and 15A (UL) exceeds the original specification.

Both substitutes maintain electrical safety through UL94 V-0 flammability rating and tin contact finish. Selection between them depends on termination method preference (solder vs. press-fit transition) and PCB design constraints related to contact tail length.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 1792753 or 1809283 directly replace the 1709699 in existing designs?

A: Both parts maintain the critical electrical parameters (12A IEC, 320V+ IEC rating) and mechanical form factor (4-position, 5.08mm pitch, vertical through-hole, shrouded design). However, termination style differs: the original uses press-fit while substitutes use solder. PCB design must accommodate solder termination. Part 1792753 has a shorter contact tail (0.102" vs. 0.154"), requiring pad layout verification.

Q: What is the difference between the two substitute parts?

A: Part 1792753 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer housing with a 0.102" contact tail and includes locking ramp and mating flange features. Part 1809283 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate housing with a 0.154" contact tail matching the original. Both deliver 12A (IEC) and 400V (IEC). Part 1809283 offers higher UL current rating (15A vs. 10A).

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Part 1792753 is RoHS Compliant. Part 1809283 is ROHS3 Compliant, meeting the latest regulatory requirements.

Q: Does the voltage increase from 320V to 400V affect circuit design?

A: No. The 400V rating of substitute parts exceeds the original 320V specification, providing additional safety margin. Existing circuit designs rated for 320V operate safely with 400V-rated components.

Q: What is the impact of different housing materials?

A: The original part uses Polyamide (PA) Nylon. Substitute 1792753 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), and substitute 1809283 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). All three materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Material selection affects mechanical properties and environmental resistance; verify compatibility with operating conditions and assembly processes.
