Phoenix Contact 1713105 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1713105 is a 12-position wire-to-board terminal block with 35° mating orientation and 5.00mm pitch, designed for through-hole PCB mounting. This component operates at 15A current capacity and 300V voltage rating with screw-type rising cage clamp termination. The part is currently active in production and RoHS compliant, making it suitable for industrial control and power distribution applications where reliable wire-to-board connections are required. Identifying equivalent substitute parts becomes necessary when managing supply chain continuity, inventory optimization, or when the primary manufacturer part becomes unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part number 1-796690-2 qualifies as a substitute based on the following matching parameters:

• 12 positions per level
• 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing
• 35° (145°) mating orientation with board
• 300V voltage rating
• 12-30 AWG wire gauge compatibility
• Through-hole mounting configuration
• Screw-type rising cage clamp termination
• M3 screw thread specification

These parameters define the mechanical and electrical compatibility envelope for this terminal block category. The substitute maintains identical form factor, pin count, and termination method, ensuring direct PCB layout compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1713105 remains the primary specification choice for applications requiring RoHS compliance. This part is actively produced and maintains full regulatory certification for restricted substance compliance.

The TE Connectivity 1-796690-2 provides functional equivalence with higher current capacity (17.5A versus 15A) and is suitable for applications where RoHS compliance is not a regulatory requirement. This substitute is also actively produced and available in higher inventory quantities. The housing material specification differs (PA66 versus PA), and the contact plating specifications are provided for the TE part, offering additional material traceability.

Selection between these parts should be based on regulatory compliance requirements and current capacity margins needed for the specific application circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 1-796690-2 be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 1713105?

A: Yes, for applications where RoHS compliance is not required. Both parts share identical pitch, position count, mating orientation, voltage rating, wire gauge range, and termination method. The TE part provides higher current capacity (17.5A versus 15A).

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

A: The main differences are RoHS compliance status (Phoenix Contact is compliant; TE Connectivity is non-compliant) and current rating (15A versus 17.5A). Housing material specifications also differ (PA versus PA66).

Q: Are the PCB footprints identical?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing, 12 positions per level, 35° mating orientation, and through-hole mounting configuration, ensuring identical PCB layout compatibility.

Q: What screw torque specifications apply to each part?

A: Phoenix Contact 1713105 specifies 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In). TE Connectivity 1-796690-2 specifies 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In). These values must be observed during assembly to prevent damage.

Q: Can both parts accommodate 12-30 AWG wire?

A: Yes. Both parts support the same wire gauge range of 12-30 AWG with screw-type rising cage clamp termination.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs subject to RoHS regulations, specify the Phoenix Contact 1713105. For applications without RoHS requirements, either part is acceptable based on current capacity and inventory availability.
