Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1753860 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: Both main and substitute parts must maintain 8 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch to ensure PCB footprint compatibility
• Header Type & Orientation: Male pins with 4-side shrouding and 90° right-angle configuration are required for mechanical fit
• Mounting & Termination: Through-hole solder termination must be preserved
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum IEC current rating of 12A and voltage rating of 250V are baseline requirements
• Compliance: RoHS compliance is mandatory for current production standards

The Phoenix Contact 1836638 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. It maintains identical position count, pitch, header type, orientation, and mounting configuration. The 1836638 is an active product from the COMBICON CCA series, providing enhanced electrical ratings (12A IEC / 400V IEC, 16A UL / 300V UL) and improved material specifications (UL94 V-0 flammability rating, Liquid Crystal Polymer housing).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1836638 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete 1753860 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status & Availability: The 1836638 is an active product with confirmed inventory (1011 pcs), whereas the 1753860 is obsolete. This ensures long-term supply chain continuity and future availability.

Compliance & Certification: Both parts are RoHS compliant. The 1836638 provides additional material certification with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) housing, meeting stricter regulatory and safety requirements for industrial applications.

Electrical Performance: The 1836638 exceeds the baseline electrical requirements of the 1753860. It maintains the IEC 12A current rating while increasing voltage rating from 250V to 400V. Additionally, it provides UL certification at 16A / 300V, offering broader application compatibility across different regulatory frameworks.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical position count (8), pitch (5.00mm), header type (male pins, 4-side shrouded), orientation (90° right angle), and mounting method (through-hole solder). Minor dimensional variations in contact tail length (0.114" vs 0.079") and insulation height (0.350" vs 0.337") are within acceptable tolerances for standard PCB applications and do not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Will the 1836638 fit the same PCB footprint as the 1753860?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical position count (8), pitch spacing (5.00mm), header type (male pins, shrouded), and right-angle orientation. The minor differences in contact tail length and insulation height do not affect PCB footprint compatibility for standard through-hole applications.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status, electrical ratings, and material specifications. The 1836638 is an active product with enhanced voltage rating (400V IEC vs 250V IEC), UL certification (16A / 300V), and superior housing material (LCP with UL94 V-0 rating). The 1753860 is obsolete and lacks these certifications.

Q: Can I use the 1836638 in applications originally designed for the 1753860?

A: Yes. The 1836638 meets or exceeds all baseline electrical and mechanical requirements of the 1753860. Its higher voltage rating and improved material specifications make it suitable for the same applications and many higher-performance applications.

Q: Are there any packaging differences?

A: The 1753860 packaging information is not specified in available data. The 1836638 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, which is standard for automated assembly processes.

Q: What is the MSL (Moisture Sensitivity Level) for both parts?

A: Both the 1753860 and 1836638 have MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both parts are RoHS compliant. The 1836638 provides additional material certification with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.
