Phoenix Contact 1753712 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1753712 is a 16-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on 2 sides, designed for vertical through-hole mounting with 5.00mm pitch. This component is part of the COMBICON MSTBV series and is actively manufactured. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply constraints, design revisions, or specific application requirements where mechanical or electrical parameters align with substitution criteria.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1753712 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 16 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch are mandatory for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Header Orientation: Vertical orientation required for PCB layout compatibility
• Mounting Technology: Through-hole termination is the primary requirement
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum voltage rating of 300V (UL) and current capacity of 12A must be maintained
• Housing Material: Polyamide (PA) nylon construction ensures thermal and mechanical consistency
• Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and active product status ensure regulatory alignment and supply continuity

The On Shore Technology Inc. EDSTL955/16 meets these core substitution criteria with equivalent position count, pitch, vertical orientation, and compliance certifications. Differences in shroud configuration (4-side vs. 2-side) and mounting method (solder vs. through-hole) represent design variations that may affect mechanical fit and require application-level verification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1753712 and On Shore Technology EDSTL955/16 maintain ROHS3 compliance and active manufacturing status, ensuring regulatory alignment and supply availability. The primary distinction lies in mounting methodology and shroud design. The Phoenix Contact component utilizes through-hole termination with 2-side shrouding, while the On Shore Technology equivalent employs solder termination with 4-side shrouding. These differences affect PCB integration approach and mechanical protection characteristics. Selection between these parts should be based on the specific mounting technology required by the target PCB design and the level of shroud protection needed for the application environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the On Shore Technology EDSTL955/16 directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1753712 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement requires PCB design compatibility with solder termination rather than through-hole mounting. The 4-side shroud configuration may also affect board layout spacing. Electrical and mechanical parameters are equivalent at the component level.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Both components support 300V (UL) and equivalent current handling. The Phoenix Contact part specifies 12A IEC current rating; the On Shore Technology part does not specify IEC current in the provided data. UL voltage ratings are identical at 300V.

Q: What is the significance of the shroud configuration difference?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1753712 features 2-side shrouding, while the On Shore Technology EDSTL955/16 features 4-side shrouding. This affects mechanical protection and board layout clearance requirements. The 4-side shroud provides additional protection but may require different spacing considerations.

Q: Do both parts support the same wire gauge specifications?

A: Wire gauge specifications are not provided in the technical data for either component. Consult manufacturer datasheets for wire gauge compatibility and termination specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99. Compliance profiles are equivalent.
