Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1740372 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 4 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing
• Header Configuration: Male pins with 4-side shrouding
• Mounting Method: Vertical through-hole orientation
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 12 A current capacity and 300 V voltage rating (UL standard)
• Termination: Solder-based connection to PCB
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 classification

The substitute part OQ0471500000G (Amphenol Anytek, Series 06-500) meets all critical substitution criteria. Both components share identical position count, pitch spacing, shrouded male pin configuration, vertical through-hole mounting, solder termination, and regulatory compliance status. Electrical ratings are equivalent or exceed the main part specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1740372 and Amphenol Anytek OQ0471500000G are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, confirming their suitability for current industrial applications. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Supply Availability: Amphenol Anytek OQ0471500000G currently maintains higher inventory (4277 pcs vs. 634 pcs), providing supply chain advantage for high-volume production requirements.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts meet identical compliance requirements (ROHS3, EAR99, REACH unaffected), ensuring interchangeability in regulated applications.
• Electrical Performance: Identical current and voltage ratings (12 A / 300 V UL) confirm functional equivalence for standard industrial control and power distribution applications.
• Physical Compatibility: Matching pitch, shrouding configuration, and through-hole mounting ensure direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol Anytek OQ0471500000G be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 1740372 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch spacing (5.00mm), position count (4), shrouded male pin configuration, vertical through-hole mounting, and solder termination. No PCB layout modifications are required for substitution.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between these two terminal block headers?

A: No. Both components are rated for 12 A current and 300 V voltage under UL standards. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility for this terminal block header?

A: Critical substitution parameters are: 4-position count, 5.00mm pitch spacing, male pins with 4-side shrouding, vertical through-hole mounting, solder termination, and minimum 12 A / 300 V electrical ratings. Deviations in any of these parameters disqualify a component from direct substitution.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the Phoenix Contact 1740372 and Amphenol Anytek OQ0471500000G are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: What is the difference in contact tail length between these two parts?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1740372 has a contact tail length of 0.154" (3.90mm), while the Amphenol Anytek OQ0471500000G has 0.157" (4.00mm). This 0.003" difference is within standard PCB through-hole tolerance and does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are there material or temperature rating differences?

A: The Amphenol Anytek OQ0471500000G specifies operating temperature range (-40°C to 115°C), contact material (Copper Alloy), housing material (Thermoplastic Resin), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). The Phoenix Contact 1740372 does not provide these detailed specifications in the available data. Both components are suitable for standard industrial temperature environments.
