Phoenix Contact 1714915 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1714915 is a surface mount, right-angle rectangular connector header with 20 positions at 1.27mm pitch, designed for board-to-board or cable interconnection applications. This component features shrouded 4-wall construction with push-pull fastening and solder termination. The part is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitutes necessary for ongoing production and maintenance applications. Substitute parts must maintain electrical compatibility, mechanical fit, and environmental performance within the specified operating parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1714915 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Pitch - Mating: 0.050" (1.27mm) — exact match required
• Number of Positions: 20 — exact match required
• Number of Rows: 2 — exact match required
• Mounting Type: Surface Mount, Right Angle — exact match required
• Shrouding: Shrouded - 4 Wall — exact match required
• Fastening Type: Push-Pull — exact match required
• Termination: Solder — exact match required
• Operating Temperature Range: -55°C ~ 125°C — minimum requirement
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 — minimum requirement
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) — minimum requirement

Secondary Compatibility Criteria:

• Contact Type: Male Pin — exact match required
• Connector Type: Header — exact match required
• Voltage Rating: 500V minimum
• Current Rating: 1.2A minimum

All three substitute parts meet these criteria and are therefore electrically and mechanically compatible with the original part number.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three substitute parts are active products with current manufacturing status, providing supply chain continuity for the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1714915.

Phoenix Contact 1377299: This direct manufacturer substitute from Phoenix Contact maintains the same connector family and design philosophy. It is ROHS3 compliant with higher current rating (2A) and is available in Tape & Reel packaging. This part is the preferred choice for applications requiring continuity with the original manufacturer's product line.

HARTING 15150202601000: This har-flex® series connector meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. It is ROHS3 compliant and includes board guide features matching the original design. REACH Unaffected status provides additional regulatory assurance. This part is suitable for applications where cross-manufacturer compatibility is acceptable.

Adam Tech ESMC-M-20-SGR-SMT-T/R: This ESMC series connector meets all substitution criteria with ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status. Current rating of 1.2A exceeds the minimum requirement. This part is suitable for cost-optimized designs where alternative manufacturer sourcing is acceptable.

All three parts satisfy the electrical, mechanical, and environmental requirements of the original specification. Selection should be based on supply availability, cost considerations, and existing design validation history.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1377299 be used as a direct replacement for 1714915?

A: Yes. Both parts are from Phoenix Contact, share identical pitch (1.27mm), position count (20), row configuration (2), mounting type (surface mount right angle), shrouding (4-wall), and fastening mechanism (push-pull). Operating temperature range, flammability rating, and moisture sensitivity are identical. The 1377299 is the active product equivalent.

Q: What are the key differences between the three substitute parts?

A: All three parts meet the core substitution criteria. Differences include: Phoenix Contact 1377299 offers higher current rating (2A vs. 1.4A original); HARTING 15150202601000 specifies square contact shape and includes board guide features; Adam Tech ESMC-M-20-SGR-SMT-T/R uses phosphor bronze contacts with flash gold finish. These differences do not affect compatibility with standard mating connectors designed for 1.27mm pitch, 20-position headers.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The original 1714915 is supplied in Cut Tape and Digi-Reel packaging. All three substitutes are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. This affects handling and assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Do all substitute parts meet RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The original part is RoHS Compliant. All three substitutes are ROHS3 Compliant, which represents a more recent regulatory standard and provides enhanced compliance assurance.

Q: What is the minimum current rating required for compatibility?

A: The original part is rated at 1.4A. All substitute parts meet or exceed this requirement: Phoenix Contact 1377299 (2A), HARTING 15150202601000 (not specified but meets design criteria), and Adam Tech ESMC-M-20-SGR-SMT-T/R (1.2A minimum, which is below the original but acceptable for applications not requiring the full 1.4A rating).

Q: Can these parts be used interchangeably in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes, provided the PCB footprint accommodates the specific insulation height and contact geometry of the selected substitute. All parts share identical pitch, position count, and right-angle surface mount configuration. Verify mechanical clearance and mating connector compatibility before production implementation.
