1746965 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1746965 is a 5-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on 4 sides, designed for 90° right-angle through-hole mounting. This component operates at 12A (IEC) / 15A (UL) and 400V (IEC) / 300V (UL), making it suitable for industrial control and power distribution applications. The part is currently active in production with 642 units in stock. Equivalent substitute parts may be required due to supply chain constraints, design standardization across manufacturers, or specific application requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1746965 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 5 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing
• Physical Configuration: 90° right-angle orientation with male pins and 4-side shrouding
• Electrical Performance: Minimum 15A (UL) and 300V (UL) ratings
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination
• Mechanical Dimensions: Contact tail length of 0.138" (4.60mm) and compatible insulation height
• Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 796638-5 meets all substitution criteria across these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The TE Connectivity 796638-5 is a direct functional equivalent to the Phoenix Contact 1746965. Both components are active products with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The electrical ratings (15A UL, 300V UL), mechanical configuration (5-position, 0.200" pitch, 90° right-angle), and termination method (solder through-hole) are identical. The minor difference in insulation height (0.329" vs. 0.339") is within acceptable mechanical tolerance and does not affect electrical performance or PCB layout compatibility. Selection between these parts should be based on availability, lead time, and cost considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 796638-5 be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 1746965?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (15A UL, 300V UL), position count (5), pitch (0.200"), orientation (90° right-angle), and termination method (solder through-hole). The mechanical dimensions are compatible for PCB mounting.

Q: Are there differences in housing material between these parts?

A: Yes. The Phoenix Contact 1746965 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), while the TE Connectivity 796638-5 uses Polyamide (PA66), Nylon 6/6. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for the specified electrical and thermal operating conditions.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height difference?

A: The insulation height difference (0.339" vs. 0.329") is 0.010" and falls within standard mechanical tolerances. This variation does not affect electrical performance, mating compatibility, or PCB layout requirements.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Phoenix Contact 1746965 and TE Connectivity 796638-5 are ROHS3 compliant and carry identical compliance certifications.

Q: What is the contact material composition?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1746965 does not specify contact material in the provided data. The TE Connectivity 796638-5 uses Copper Alloy contacts with tin mating finish. Both parts feature tin contact mating finish for solderability.
