Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1792148 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 6 positions at 0.295" (7.50mm) spacing
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole, horizontal PCB orientation
• Termination Type: Screwless spring-based wire connection with lever actuation
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Acceptance range for conductor cross-sections
• Housing & Color: Polyamide construction in green
• Electrical Performance: Current and voltage ratings for the application

The Phoenix Contact 1098171 qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching position count, pitch, mounting type, mating orientation, and lever-actuated actuation. Both components are housed in green polyamide and support through-hole PCB installation. The 1098171 represents an active product within the LPT series, providing continued availability and technical support.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1098171 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1792148 based on functional equivalence and active product status. The 1098171 maintains identical mechanical compatibility through matching position count, pitch, and through-hole mounting configuration. Both components feature lever-actuated screwless termination and green polyamide housings, ensuring PCB layout and connector interface compatibility.

The 1098171 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment, whereas the 1792148 holds RoHS compliance status. Both components maintain MSL 1 rating, indicating unlimited moisture sensitivity protection. The 1098171 provides specified electrical performance (41 A at 1000 V) and operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C), offering enhanced technical documentation for system design validation.

Wire gauge acceptance differs between the parts: the 1792148 accepts 10-24 AWG, while the 1098171 accepts 8-22 AWG. This expanded range in the substitute part accommodates a broader conductor cross-section spectrum. The termination mechanism variation—spring cage tension clamp versus leg spring push-in spring—represents a design evolution within the same functional category, both delivering screwless wire connection without requiring external tools.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1098171 directly replace the 1792148 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (7.50mm), position count (6), mounting type (through-hole), and mating orientation (horizontal with board). PCB footprints and connector interfaces are compatible. The 1098171 is the manufacturer-designated substitute.

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility difference between these parts?

A: The 1792148 accepts 10-24 AWG conductors, while the 1098171 accepts 8-22 AWG. The substitute part supports a wider range, accommodating both smaller (8 AWG) and larger (22 AWG) conductors within the overlap region (10-22 AWG).

Q: Are the termination methods functionally equivalent?

A: Both employ screwless spring-based termination with lever actuation. The 1792148 uses spring cage tension clamp technology, while the 1098171 uses leg spring push-in spring technology. Both eliminate external tooling requirements and provide secure wire retention.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to each part?

A: The 1792148 holds RoHS compliance. The 1098171 holds ROHS3 compliance, representing alignment with current regulatory requirements. Both maintain MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity ratings.

Q: Does the 1098171 provide electrical performance specifications?

A: Yes. The 1098171 is rated for 41 A continuous current at 1000 V, with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C. The 1792148 does not provide published electrical specifications.

Q: Is the 1098171 currently available?

A: Yes. The 1098171 carries active product status with documented inventory availability, whereas the 1792148 is classified as obsolete.
