1769078 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1769078 is an 8-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This component operates at 12A (IEC) / 15A (UL) and 630V (IEC) / 300V (UL), accommodating wire gauges from 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²). The part is active in production and RoHS compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical compatibility, and functional specifications align within acceptable tolerances for terminal block plug applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The On Shore Technology Inc. OSTTJ085153 qualifies as a substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• 8-position configuration with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing
• Female socket plug type for free-hanging in-line mounting
• UL current rating of 15A and UL voltage rating of 300V match the main part
• Wire gauge compatibility within the 12-24 AWG range (subset of main part range)
• Screw termination method for secure wire connection
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating for equivalent safety performance
• RoHS compliance (ROHS3) for environmental standards alignment
• Tin contact mating finish for corrosion resistance
• Retention latches on non-wire side for mechanical stability

Substitution is valid where IEC ratings are not a primary design requirement and UL specifications are the governing standard.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both parts maintain active product status and meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The Phoenix Contact 1769078 provides broader IEC electrical ratings (12A at 630V) and extended wire gauge support (12-30 AWG). The On Shore Technology OSTTJ085153 meets UL specifications (15A at 300V) with wire gauge coverage of 12-24 AWG and includes documented operating temperature range (-30°C to 105°C).

Selection between these parts depends on regulatory framework: IEC-governed applications require the Phoenix Contact part; UL-governed applications accept either part. Wire gauge requirements below 12 AWG or above 24 AWG necessitate the Phoenix Contact 1769078. Both parts carry equivalent mechanical compatibility for 8-position, 5.08mm pitch free-hanging configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can OSTTJ085153 replace 1769078 in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only in UL-governed applications. IEC-rated designs require the Phoenix Contact 1769078 due to higher voltage specification (630V vs. 300V). Wire gauge requirements must fall within 12-24 AWG for the On Shore part.

Q: What is the pitch compatibility between these parts?

A: Both parts use 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing. Mechanical mating with corresponding receptacles is identical.

Q: Are there wire gauge limitations with the substitute?

A: The On Shore Technology OSTTJ085153 supports 12-24 AWG (0.34-2.5mm²). Applications requiring 25-30 AWG wire connections must use the Phoenix Contact 1769078.

Q: Do both parts have the same screw torque specification?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1769078 specifies 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In), while the On Shore Technology OSTTJ085153 specifies 0.56 Nm (5.0 Lb-In). Both values fall within acceptable assembly ranges for this connector class.

Q: What is the difference in termination method?

A: The Phoenix Contact uses a rising cage clamp screw mechanism; the On Shore Technology uses standard screw termination. Both methods provide secure wire retention for this application category.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Phoenix Contact 1769078 is RoHS compliant; the On Shore Technology OSTTJ085153 is ROHS3 compliant. Both meet current environmental standards.
