Phoenix Contact 1796487 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1796487 is a 7-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on all four sides, featuring 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and 90° right-angle orientation for through-hole mounting. This component is part of the COMBICON MSTBA series and is currently classified as obsolete. Finding equivalent substitute parts is necessary to maintain design continuity and ensure component availability for new production runs and field replacements where the original part is no longer readily available from primary sources.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1796487 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Position Count: Must be exactly 7 positions
Pitch Specification: Must be 0.200" (5.08mm)
Connector Type: Must be header with male pins, shrouded on all four sides
Orientation: Must be 90° right-angle configuration
Termination Method: Must be solder-based through-hole mounting
Electrical Ratings: Current rating of 12A and voltage rating of 250V (IEC standard)
Material Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance required

The substitute part 1795718 meets all these criteria and is therefore electrically and mechanically interchangeable with the main part number.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1795718 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1796487. Both components are manufactured by Phoenix Contact and maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters. The 1795718 holds active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts carry RoHS compliance certification and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial applications.

The primary distinction between the two parts is product lifecycle status: the 1796487 is obsolete while the 1795718 remains in active production. The 1795718 belongs to the COMBICON MSTB series, which represents the current generation of this connector family. For new designs and production applications, the 1795718 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the original 1796487 specification is referenced, the 1795718 provides full functional and mechanical compatibility without design modification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1795718 be used as a direct replacement for the 1796487 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1795718 is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the 1796487. All critical parameters including position count, pitch, orientation, current rating, voltage rating, and physical dimensions are identical. No PCB layout or circuit modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the COMBICON MSTBA and COMBICON MSTB series?

A: Both series share the same electrical and mechanical specifications for this 7-position, 5.08mm pitch configuration. The MSTB series represents the current product generation, while MSTBA is the legacy series. The 1795718 (MSTB) is the active production equivalent of the 1796487 (MSTBA).

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1796487 is listed with no specified packaging designation, while the 1795718 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts are identical in form, fit, and function. Packaging differences do not affect component performance or compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 1796487 and 1795718 are RoHS compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification. Both have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) and identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

Q: What is the current availability status of these parts?

A: The 1796487 is obsolete and availability is limited to existing inventory. The 1795718 is in active production with current stock availability. For new applications and ongoing supply requirements, the 1795718 is the recommended selection.
