Phoenix Contact 1730463 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1730463 is a 9-position wire-to-board terminal block with side entry configuration and 5.08mm pitch, designed for through-hole PCB mounting. This component operates at 300V with a 10A current rating and accepts wire gauges from 12-30 AWG using 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.

Equivalent substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, supply chain disruptions, or specific application requirements that benefit from alternative specifications within compatible parameters.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 282857-9 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain 300V voltage rating and accept 12-30 AWG wire gauges
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical 9-position configuration, 5.08mm pitch, horizontal with board orientation, and through-hole mounting
• Termination Method: Both use screw-type rising cage clamp with M3 thread
• Housing Material: Both utilize polyamide nylon construction
• Compliance: Both are RoHS compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification

The 282857-9 exhibits enhanced current capacity (24A versus 10A) and includes interlocking side features, representing a specification upgrade rather than a downgrade, ensuring functional compatibility in applications designed for the 1730463.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1730463 and TE Connectivity 282857-9 are active production components with current inventory availability. Selection between these parts should be based on application-specific requirements:

The Phoenix Contact 1730463 is the primary specification for designs originally qualified to this part number and series designation.

The TE Connectivity 282857-9 serves as a functional equivalent with enhanced current capacity and interlocking features. This substitute is suitable for applications where the 10A current rating of the original part is adequate, as the 24A rating of the substitute provides additional margin. Both parts carry equivalent compliance certifications (RoHS and EAR99) and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring reliability in standard industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 282857-9 be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 1730463?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (9), voltage rating (300V), wire gauge acceptance (12-30 AWG), mounting type (through-hole), and termination method (M3 screw rising cage clamp). The substitute exhibits higher current capacity (24A versus 10A), which does not create incompatibility in applications designed for the original 10A specification.

Q: Are there any mechanical differences that would affect PCB layout?

A: No. Both parts maintain identical 9-position configuration with 5.08mm pitch and horizontal with board orientation. PCB footprints and mounting hole patterns are compatible.

Q: What is the difference in housing material between these parts?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1730463 uses polyamide (PA) nylon, while the TE Connectivity 282857-9 uses polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6. Both are polyamide-based materials suitable for industrial terminal block applications with equivalent performance characteristics in standard operating environments.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance requirements?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification. The TE Connectivity 282857-9 carries ROHS3 designation and is REACH affected, representing current regulatory compliance. Both maintain MSL rating of 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity).

Q: What is the significance of the interlocking feature on the TE Connectivity part?

A: The interlocking side feature on the 282857-9 provides mechanical stability during assembly and operation. This feature does not affect electrical compatibility and enhances mechanical robustness compared to the original specification.
