Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1792232 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (41 A), voltage rating (1 kV), and contact material specifications must match or exceed the original part
• Mechanical Compatibility: Position count (3), pitch spacing (7.50mm), mating orientation (30° angle), and mounting type (through-hole) must be identical
• Termination Method: Wire gauge acceptance range and termination technology (screwless spring cage) must support the same wire sizes and connection method
• Environmental & Compliance: RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level must be maintained or improved

The Phoenix Contact 1098176 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters, with the additional benefit of active product status and extended operating temperature specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1098176 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1792232 terminal block. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Equivalence: Both parts maintain identical current (41 A) and voltage (1 kV / 1000 V) ratings, ensuring no derating is required in existing circuit designs.

Mechanical Compatibility: Pitch spacing (7.50mm), position count (3), mating orientation (30° angle), and through-hole mounting are identical, allowing direct PCB layout compatibility without redesign.

Wire Gauge Accommodation: The 1098176 accepts 8-22 AWG wire, which encompasses the original part's 10-24 AWG range. Designs using 10-24 AWG wire are fully compatible.

Compliance Status: The 1098176 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment. Both parts maintain MSL 1 rating, indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.

Product Availability: The 1098176 holds active product status with documented inventory availability, ensuring long-term procurement viability compared to the obsolete 1792232.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1098176 be used as a direct replacement for the 1792232 without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (7.50mm), position count (3), mating orientation (30°), and through-hole mounting specifications. No PCB layout changes are required.

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

A: The original 1792232 accepts 10-24 AWG wire. The substitute 1098176 accepts 8-22 AWG wire. Existing designs using 10-24 AWG wire remain fully compatible with the substitute part.

Q: Are there differences in the termination method?

A: Both parts use screwless spring cage termination with lever actuation. The 1792232 specifies tension clamp technology, while the 1098176 uses leg spring and push-in spring technology. Both methods provide equivalent mechanical and electrical performance for the specified wire gauge ranges.

Q: Does the 1098176 meet the same compliance requirements as the 1792232?

A: Yes. The 1098176 carries ROHS3 compliance, which supersedes the RoHS compliance of the original part. Both maintain MSL 1 rating. The 1098176 additionally provides specified operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 105°C) and documented contact material plating (Copper Alloy - Tin Plated).

Q: Is the 1098176 available in the same packaging as the 1792232?

A: The 1098176 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements against your procurement specifications.

Q: What is the product status difference, and why does it matter?

A: The 1792232 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited future availability. The 1098176 is active, ensuring ongoing production and long-term supply chain stability for new designs and production runs.
