Phoenix Contact 1792155 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1792155 is a 16-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 5mm pitch, and 90° wire entry. This component is designed for inline, free-hanging applications requiring screw-based rising cage clamp termination. The part is currently active in production with 1051 units in stock. Alternative equivalent parts may be required due to supply constraints, regional availability, or specific application requirements where substitute components meet identical electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of terminal block plugs is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Voltage and current ratings must meet or exceed the application requirements
• Mechanical Compatibility: Pitch (5mm), number of positions (16), wire entry angle (90°), and mounting type (free hanging, in-line) must be identical
• Termination Method: Screw-based rising cage clamp termination must be maintained
• Wire Gauge Acceptance: The substitute must accommodate the wire gauge range of the primary application
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating must be present

The Amphenol Anytek TS16715A0000G qualifies as a substitute based on matching pitch, position count, wire entry orientation, termination style, mounting configuration, and regulatory certifications. Differences in current rating (UL: 12A vs. 15A) and wire gauge range (12-24 AWG vs. 12-30 AWG) represent functional constraints that must be evaluated against specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1792155 and Amphenol Anytek TS16715A0000G are active production components with ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

Phoenix Contact 1792155 is suitable when applications require the full wire gauge range (12-30 AWG, 0.2-2.5mm²) or when the 15A UL current rating is specified. This part provides broader wire accommodation and higher current capacity.

Amphenol Anytek TS16715A0000G is suitable when applications operate within the 12-24 AWG range (1-2.5mm²) and the 12A UL current rating is sufficient. This substitute maintains identical mechanical and electrical interface characteristics while offering equivalent regulatory compliance.

Both parts share identical pitch, position count, wire entry angle, termination method, and mounting configuration. The decision between them depends solely on whether the application's wire gauge and current requirements fall within the narrower specifications of the substitute part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol Anytek TS16715A0000G replace the Phoenix Contact 1792155 in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only when the application wire gauge does not exceed 24 AWG and the current requirement does not exceed 12A (UL rating). If the application requires gauges finer than 12 AWG or currents above 12A, the Phoenix Contact part is required.

Q: What is the significance of the 5mm pitch specification?

A: The 5mm pitch determines the physical spacing between contact positions. Both parts maintain identical 5mm pitch, ensuring mechanical compatibility with mating connectors and PCB layouts designed for this spacing.

Q: Are the screw torque specifications identical between these parts?

A: No. The Phoenix Contact 1792155 specifies 0.5-0.6 Nm torque, while the Amphenol Anytek TS16715A0000G specifies 0.4 Nm. Application-specific torque requirements must be observed during installation.

Q: Do both parts support the same wire strip length?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1792155 specifies 7mm wire strip length, while the Amphenol Anytek TS16715A0000G specifies 6-7mm. Both accommodate standard preparation practices within these ranges.

Q: What does "Free Hanging (In-Line)" mounting mean?

A: This indicates the terminal block plug is designed for direct wire termination without PCB mounting or panel installation. Both parts support this configuration identically.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1792155 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. The Amphenol Anytek TS16715A0000G operates from -40°C to 115°C. Application temperature requirements must be evaluated independently.
