Phoenix Contact 1714914 Rectangular Connector Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1714914 is a surface mount, right-angle rectangular connector header with 16 positions at 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch, designed for board-to-board or cable interconnection applications. This component features shrouded 4-wall construction, gold-plated mating contacts, and operates 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 1714914 is determined by strict alignment across the following critical parameters:

• Connector type (Header), contact type (Male Pin), and mating pitch (0.050" / 1.27mm)
• Position count (16) and row configuration (2 rows at 0.050" spacing)
• Mounting method (Surface Mount, Right Angle) and shrouding style (Shrouded - 4 Wall)
• Termination method (Solder) and fastening mechanism (Push-Pull)
• Contact finish on mating surface (Gold)
• Insulation material (Liquid Crystal Polymer)
• Operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C)
• RoHS3 compliance and MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)

The three substitute parts listed below meet these core electrical and mechanical requirements. Variations in secondary parameters such as contact shape, post finish, current rating, and packaging format do not affect functional interchangeability in applications where the primary mating interface and board-level integration are the controlling factors.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing support, eliminating obsolescence risk associated with the original Phoenix Contact 1714914. Selection among these alternatives should be based on the following factors:

Phoenix Contact 1377298 is the direct manufacturer equivalent from Phoenix Contact, maintaining the same series lineage and design philosophy. This part offers the highest design continuity and is recommended as the primary replacement when procurement from the original manufacturer is preferred.

HARTING 15150162601000 from the har-flex® series provides an alternative from an established connector manufacturer with equivalent electrical and mechanical specifications. This option is suitable for applications where multi-source qualification is required or where HARTING supply chain advantages apply.

Adam Tech ESMC-M-16-SGR-SMT-T/R from the ESMC series represents a third-party alternative with slightly different insulation material (Thermoplastic versus LCP) and contact material (Phosphor Bronze versus Copper Alloy). This part maintains full compliance with RoHS3 and operating temperature requirements and is appropriate for cost-optimized designs where material substitution does not conflict with application constraints.

All three parts carry ROHS3 compliance, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity classification, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility with the original design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1377298 be used as a direct drop-in replacement for 1714914?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mating pitch (0.050" / 1.27mm), position count (16), row configuration (2 rows), mounting method (Surface Mount, Right Angle), shrouding (Shrouded - 4 Wall), and contact finish (Gold). The primary difference is packaging format (Tape & Reel versus Cut Tape & Digi-Reel), which does not affect functional performance.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation material difference between the Adam Tech part and the original?

A: The original 1714914 and Phoenix Contact 1377298 use Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, while the Adam Tech ESMC-M-16-SGR-SMT-T/R uses Thermoplastic. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate across the same temperature range (-55°C ~ 125°C). Material selection should be verified against specific application requirements for mechanical stress, chemical exposure, or thermal cycling conditions.

Q: Are there current rating differences that affect substitution?

A: The original 1714914 is rated at 1.4A, Phoenix Contact 1377298 at 2A, and Adam Tech ESMC-M-16-SGR-SMT-T/R at 1.2A. Applications requiring the full 1.4A rating should use Phoenix Contact 1377298 or confirm that the Adam Tech part's 1.2A rating is sufficient for the circuit design.

Q: Does packaging format affect electrical performance?

A: No. Cut Tape (CT), Digi-Reel, and Tape & Reel (TR) packaging formats are logistics and assembly considerations only. They do not alter the electrical or mechanical characteristics of the connector header itself.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. All three substitute parts carry ROHS3 Compliant status, ensuring compatibility with regulatory requirements for restricted substances in electrical and electronic equipment.
