Phoenix Contact 1759198 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1759198 is a 20-position terminal block header with male pins, designed for right-angle through-hole mounting at 5.08mm pitch. This component is part of the COMBICON MSTB series and is actively manufactured. Terminal block headers of this type are essential interconnection components in industrial control systems, power distribution panels, and modular electronic assemblies where reliable, field-replaceable connections are required. Equivalent and substitute parts may be necessary due to supply chain considerations, inventory availability, or specific application requirements that align with alternative shrouding configurations or mounting methods.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1759198 is permissible with the On Shore Technology Inc. EDSTLZ950/20 based on the following alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 20
• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Header Orientation: 90°, Right Angle
• Type: Header, Male Pins
• Housing Material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Contact Tail Length: 0.138" (4.60mm)
• Voltage - UL: 300 V
• RoHS Status: ROHS3 Compliant
• Product Status: Active

Differing Parameters:

• Shrouding: Phoenix Contact features 2-side shrouding; On Shore Technology features 4-side shrouding
• Mounting Type: Phoenix Contact is through-hole; On Shore Technology is solder-mount
• Current Rating (IEC): Phoenix Contact specifies 12A; On Shore Technology does not specify
• Operating Temperature: On Shore Technology specifies -30°C ~ 105°C; Phoenix Contact does not specify

The substitute part maintains functional equivalence in position count, pitch, orientation, and voltage rating. Differences in shrouding configuration and mounting method must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1759198 and On Shore Technology EDSTLZ950/20 are active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial applications. Selection between these parts must account for the following:

The Phoenix Contact 1759198 is specified for through-hole mounting, suitable for applications requiring mechanical retention through PCB drilling and solder connection from the component side. The On Shore Technology EDSTLZ950/20 is specified for solder-mount termination, requiring surface-mount assembly processes.

The shrouding difference—2-side versus 4-side—affects mechanical protection and insertion force characteristics. The 4-side shrouding of the EDSTLZ950/20 provides enhanced lateral protection but may impose different mating force requirements.

Current rating specifications differ: Phoenix Contact specifies 12A (IEC) and 15A (UL); On Shore Technology does not provide current rating data. Operating temperature range is specified for the On Shore Technology part (-30°C ~ 105°C) but not for the Phoenix Contact part.

Selection should be based on PCB assembly method (through-hole versus solder-mount), shrouding requirements, and current-carrying capacity needs of the specific application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the On Shore Technology EDSTLZ950/20 directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1759198 in an existing assembly?

A: Direct replacement depends on assembly method. The Phoenix Contact part is through-hole mounted; the On Shore Technology part is solder-mounted. PCB footprints and assembly processes differ. Mechanical compatibility must be verified against specific board design and assembly capabilities.

Q: What is the significance of the shrouding difference (2-side versus 4-side)?

A: Shrouding configuration affects mechanical protection and insertion characteristics. 2-side shrouding provides lateral guidance; 4-side shrouding provides enhanced protection on all sides. The difference may affect mating force, polarization, and environmental protection in the application.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same voltage and current applications?

A: Both parts are rated for 300V (UL). The Phoenix Contact part specifies 12A (IEC) and 15A (UL) current ratings. The On Shore Technology part does not provide current rating specifications. Current capacity must be verified against application requirements before substitution.

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

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, classified as EAR99, and carry the same HTSUS code (8536.69.4040). Both have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part?

A: The On Shore Technology EDSTLZ950/20 specifies an operating temperature range of -30°C to 105°C. The Phoenix Contact 1759198 does not provide an operating temperature specification in the available data. Application temperature requirements should be confirmed with the manufacturer if critical to the design.
