Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1766262 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Mechanical Compatibility: 5 positions, 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch, 90° right-angle orientation, male pins with 4-side shrouding, and through-hole mounting ensure physical and functional interchangeability on PCBs designed for the original part.
• Electrical Performance: UL voltage rating of 300V and UL current rating of 15A or higher establish the minimum electrical capability required for direct substitution.
• Termination Method: Solder termination is mandatory for compatibility with existing PCB designs.
• Regulatory Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance are required to maintain design certification and regulatory adherence.

The Würth Elektronik 691313410005 meets all substitution criteria and is classified as an equivalent substitute part.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1766262 and Würth Elektronik 691313410005 are active products with full ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The Würth Elektronik substitute provides a higher UL current rating of 20A compared to the Phoenix Contact's 15A rating, offering additional electrical margin in applications operating near the original part's current limits. Both parts maintain identical mechanical form factors, pitch spacing, and mounting characteristics, ensuring direct PCB compatibility. Selection between these parts should be based on vendor availability, lead time requirements, and cost considerations, as electrical and regulatory performance are equivalent or superior in the substitute option.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Würth Elektronik 691313410005 be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 1766262 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical mechanical specifications: 5 positions, 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch, 90° right-angle orientation, male pins with 4-side shrouding, and through-hole solder termination. PCB footprints designed for the Phoenix Contact part will accommodate the Würth Elektronik substitute without modification.

Q: Are there electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: The Würth Elektronik 691313410005 has a UL current rating of 20A compared to the Phoenix Contact 1766262's 15A rating. Both maintain 300V UL voltage rating. The higher current rating of the substitute provides additional electrical capacity and does not create compatibility issues in applications designed for the original part.

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

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Both are actively manufactured and maintain equivalent regulatory status for industrial applications.

Q: What are the physical differences between these parts?

A: Contact tail length differs slightly: Phoenix Contact 1766262 is 0.138" (4.60mm) versus Würth Elektronik 691313410005 at 0.157" (4.00mm). Insulation height is also slightly different: 0.339" (8.61mm) versus 0.335" (8.51mm). These minor dimensional variations do not affect PCB compatibility or functional performance in standard applications.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: Selection should be based on vendor availability, supply chain strategy, and cost. Both parts are functionally equivalent and meet all regulatory requirements. The Würth Elektronik part's higher current rating may provide additional design margin in power-sensitive applications.
