Phoenix Contact 1758762 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1758762 is a 5-position vertical terminal block header with male pins and 2-side shrouding, designed for 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch solder termination applications. This component operates at 12A (IEC) / 12A (UL) and 400V (IEC) / 300V (UL), housed in UL94 V-0 rated polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) material. The part is currently active in production with 863 units in stock. Equivalent substitute parts are identified to provide procurement flexibility, extended availability, or alternative sourcing options when the primary part becomes unavailable or when design requirements permit functional alternatives.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1758762 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Criteria:

• Number of positions: 5
• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Header orientation: Vertical
• Termination style: Solder
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Pin configuration: Male pins

Electrical Performance Criteria:

• Current rating: Minimum 12A (UL standard)
• Voltage rating: Minimum 300V (UL standard)
• Material flammability: UL94 V-0

Physical Compatibility Criteria:

• Insulation height: 0.472" (12.00mm)
• Contact tail length: Acceptable range 0.138" to 0.154"

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 796636-5 qualifies as a functional substitute based on matching core mechanical and electrical parameters. Variations in shrouding configuration (4-side versus 2-side), housing material composition, and contact material do not prevent substitution when electrical and mechanical envelope requirements are satisfied.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1758762 (Primary Part):

• Recommended for applications requiring PBT housing material specifically
• Preferred when 2-side shrouding meets EMI requirements
• Active production status with 863 units in current inventory
• RoHS Compliant certification

TE Connectivity 796636-5 (Substitute Part):

• Acceptable alternative when 4-side shrouding provides design advantage for EMI mitigation
• Suitable for applications tolerating polyamide (PA66) housing material
• Exceeds current rating requirement (15A versus 12A minimum)
• ROHS3 Compliant certification meets extended regulatory requirements
• Higher inventory availability (19,852 units in stock)
• Operating temperature range specified: -40°C to 110°C

Both parts maintain active production status and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Selection between primary and substitute should be based on specific housing material requirements, shrouding configuration needs, and inventory availability constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can TE Connectivity 796636-5 be used as a direct replacement for Phoenix Contact 1758762?

A: Yes, the TE Connectivity 796636-5 qualifies as a functional substitute. Both parts share identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (5), orientation (vertical), termination method (solder), and mounting type (through hole). Electrical ratings (300V UL, 15A UL) meet or exceed the Phoenix Contact part requirements. Physical envelope compatibility is maintained with matching insulation height (12.00mm) and acceptable contact tail length variation (0.138" versus 0.154").

Q: What is the difference between 2-side and 4-side shrouding?

A: Shrouding refers to the protective housing around the connector pins. The Phoenix Contact 1758762 features 2-side shrouding, while the TE Connectivity 796636-5 features 4-side shrouding. Four-side shrouding provides enhanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and mechanical protection. Both configurations maintain the same pitch, position spacing, and electrical performance. Selection depends on application-specific EMI requirements and mechanical protection needs.

Q: Are there material compatibility concerns between PBT and PA66 housings?

A: Both polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyamide (PA66) are engineering thermoplastics rated UL94 V-0 for flammability. Material selection affects thermal properties, chemical resistance, and mechanical characteristics. Both materials are suitable for standard terminal block applications. Verify material compatibility with specific solvents, operating temperatures, or chemical environments in your application. Both parts specify MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity.

Q: What does the contact tail length difference mean for PCB mounting?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1758762 has a contact tail length of 0.154" (3.90mm), while the TE Connectivity 796636-5 measures 0.138" (4.60mm). This 0.016" difference is within acceptable tolerance for standard through-hole PCB mounting. Both lengths accommodate typical PCB thickness and solder reflow processes. Verify PCB design specifications if custom mounting depths are required.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: For new designs, either part is acceptable based on functional requirements. Consider: (1) housing material preference (PBT versus PA66), (2) EMI shielding needs (2-side versus 4-side shrouding), (3) operating temperature range requirements (TE part specifies -40°C to 110°C), and (4) supply chain availability. Both parts maintain active production status and meet current regulatory compliance standards.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Phoenix Contact 1758762 is RoHS Compliant. The TE Connectivity 796636-5 is ROHS3 Compliant, which represents an extended compliance standard. Both parts meet RoHS requirements for restricted substance elimination.
