Phoenix Contact 1792216 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1792216 is a 1-position wire-to-board terminal block with 30° (150°) angle orientation and through-hole mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The part operates at 41 A current capacity and 1 kV voltage rating with screwless spring cage termination and lever actuation.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1792216 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (41 A), voltage rating (1 kV), and wire gauge acceptance range must match or exceed the original specification.

Mechanical Compatibility: Mating orientation (30° angle with board), mounting type (through-hole), and single-position configuration must be identical.

Termination Method: Screwless spring-based wire termination with lever actuation is required for functional equivalence.

Material & Compliance: Polyamide housing, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH unaffected status must be maintained.

The Phoenix Contact 1098174 (LPTA series) satisfies all substitution criteria as an active, currently manufactured alternative within the same manufacturer's product line.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1098174 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete 1792216. Both components maintain identical electrical ratings (41 A, 1 kV), mechanical orientation (30° angle), and mounting configuration (through-hole, single position). The 1098174 offers the advantage of active product status with current manufacturing support and defined operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C).

Wire gauge compatibility is maintained within the substitution: the 1098174 accepts 8-22 AWG wire, which encompasses the original 10-24 AWG specification. The termination method differs in implementation (leg spring and push-in spring versus tension clamp), but both employ screwless spring-based mechanisms with lever actuation, ensuring functional equivalence in circuit board integration.

Both components carry ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. The 1098174 is recommended for new designs and replacement applications where the 1792216 is no longer available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1098174 directly replace the 1792216 in existing PCB designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mating orientation (30° angle), mounting type (through-hole), current rating (41 A), voltage rating (1 kV), and lever-actuated screwless termination. PCB footprints and mounting hole patterns are compatible.

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

A: The 1792216 accepts 10-24 AWG wire, while the 1098174 accepts 8-22 AWG wire. The 1098174 range encompasses the original specification, providing broader wire size compatibility.

Q: How do the termination methods differ?

A: The 1792216 uses spring cage with tension clamp termination. The 1098174 uses leg spring with push-in spring termination. Both are screwless, lever-actuated mechanisms suitable for wire-to-board connections.

Q: Is the 1098174 available in the same packaging format?

A: Both components are supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory availability should be confirmed with the supplier for specific order quantities.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the original and substitute?

A: No. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected. The 1098174 provides defined operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C), whereas the original specification does not list this parameter.

Q: Why is the 1792216 classified as obsolete?

A: The 1792216 belongs to the COMBICON PLA series, which has been superseded by the LPTA series (represented by the 1098174). Phoenix Contact recommends the 1098174 for all new applications and ongoing procurement.
