Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1796649 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (12A IEC), voltage rating (250V IEC), and contact material specifications must match or exceed the original part
• Mechanical Compatibility: Number of positions (11), pitch (5.08mm), header orientation (vertical), shrouding configuration (4-side), and through-hole mounting type must be identical
• Termination and Housing: Solder termination style and polyamide/nylon housing material must be maintained
• Regulatory Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance status must be preserved

The Phoenix Contact 1796416 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and regulatory certifications. The primary distinction lies in product status (1796649 is obsolete; 1796416 is active) and series designation (COMBICON MSTBVA versus COMBICON MSTBV).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1796416 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1796649 model. Both components maintain identical electrical performance specifications (12A at 250V IEC), mechanical configuration (11-position, 5.08mm pitch, vertical through-hole), and regulatory compliance (UL94 V-0, RoHS compliant). The 1796416 carries active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The transition from the COMBICON MSTBVA series to the COMBICON MSTBV series reflects Phoenix Contact's product line evolution while preserving functional equivalence. Selection of the 1796416 eliminates obsolescence risk and aligns with current component availability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1796416 be used as a direct replacement for the 1796649 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (12A, 250V IEC), mechanical dimensions (11 positions, 5.08mm pitch), mounting type (vertical through-hole), and regulatory certifications (UL94 V-0, RoHS compliant). Pin-to-pin compatibility is maintained.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 1796649 is classified as obsolete, while the 1796416 maintains active product status. The series designation differs (MSTBVA versus MSTBV), but electrical and mechanical specifications remain equivalent.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the 1796649 and 1796416?

A: The 1796649 was supplied in standard packaging, while the 1796416 is available in bulk packaging. This distinction does not affect component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Does the 1796416 meet the same regulatory requirements as the 1796649?

A: Yes. Both parts are UL94 V-0 rated, RoHS compliant, and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What are the critical parameters for confirming substitution compatibility?

A: Verify that the substitute part maintains 11 positions, 5.08mm pitch, vertical orientation, 4-side shrouding, solder termination, through-hole mounting, 12A current rating, 250V voltage rating, and polyamide/nylon housing material.
