Phoenix Contact 1714912 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1714912 is a surface mount, right-angle rectangular connector header with 12 positions at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, designed for board-to-board or cable connections. This component features shrouded 4-wall construction, push-pull fastening, and gold-plated mating contacts rated for 1.4A at 500V operation across -55°C to 125°C. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1714912 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters: connector type (header), contact type (male pin), mating pitch (0.050"/1.27mm), position count (12), row configuration (2 rows), mounting method (surface mount, right angle), shrouding design (shrouded 4-wall), termination process (solder), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). All identified substitute parts maintain these core specifications.

Secondary parameters including contact finish material, insulation composition, operating temperature range, and compliance certifications (ROHS3, MSL-1) are consistent across all alternatives. Variations in contact shape (rectangular vs. square), contact length specifications, insulation height tolerances, and current/voltage ratings represent acceptable engineering deviations within the connector family, provided the primary mating interface and mechanical envelope remain compatible.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1377297 is the primary direct substitute. This part maintains identical mating pitch, position count, row configuration, and mounting orientation. Product status is active, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. Current rating increases to 2A, providing enhanced electrical capacity. Packaging is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated assembly processes.

HARTING 15150122601000 (har-flex® series) provides an alternative from an established connector manufacturer. All critical mating parameters align with the original specification. Product status is active with robust inventory availability. This part is suitable for applications requiring cross-manufacturer qualification.

Adam Tech ESMC-M-12-SGR-SMT-T/R represents a third-party option within the ESMC series. Core mating interface parameters are preserved. Contact material differs (phosphor bronze vs. copper alloy), and insulation composition is thermoplastic rather than LCP. Current rating is 1.2A, slightly below the original 1.4A specification. This part is appropriate for cost-sensitive applications where the reduced current rating does not impact circuit requirements.

All substitute parts carry ROHS3 compliance and MSL-1 moisture sensitivity classification, matching the original component's environmental and regulatory standing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1377297 directly replace the 1714912 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mating pitch (0.050"/1.27mm), position count (12), row spacing, mounting method (surface mount right-angle), shrouding (4-wall), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). The 1377297 is active product status, making it the preferred direct substitute for the obsolete 1714912.

Q: What is the difference between the contact shapes listed for these parts?

A: The original 1714912 specifies rectangular contact shape, while substitute parts 1377297, 15150122601000, and ESMC-M-12-SGR-SMT-T/R list square contact geometry. Both shapes are compatible within the 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch family and do not affect mating interface compatibility.

Q: Are there current rating differences between the substitute parts?

A: Yes. The original 1714912 is rated 1.4A. Phoenix Contact 1377297 increases to 2A. Adam Tech ESMC-M-12-SGR-SMT-T/R is rated 1.2A. HARTING 15150122601000 does not specify current rating in the provided data. Select based on circuit current requirements.

Q: What packaging formats are available?

A: Phoenix Contact 1714912 is supplied in standard packaging (format not specified). Phoenix Contact 1377297 is Tape & Reel (TR). HARTING 15150122601000 is Tape & Reel (TR). Adam Tech ESMC-M-12-SGR-SMT-T/R is Cut Tape (CT). Verify packaging compatibility with assembly equipment specifications.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. All parts listed are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and are classified as MSL-1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity). Operating temperature range is -55°C to 125°C across all alternatives.

Q: Which substitute offers the best long-term availability?

A: Phoenix Contact 1377297 is the recommended choice, as it is active product status from the original manufacturer with higher current capacity (2A) and established supply chain presence. HARTING 15150122601000 is also active status and represents a qualified cross-manufacturer alternative.
