Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Phoenix Contact 1822545 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical interchangeability:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (10 A minimum), voltage rating (300 V minimum), and wire gauge acceptance (16-24 AWG)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 3-position configuration, 5.00mm pitch spacing, vertical board orientation, and through-hole mounting
• Termination Method: Wire connection must support the same gauge range through equivalent screwless or push-in mechanisms
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance status and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited)
• Board Integration: PCB footprint compatibility maintained through identical pitch and mounting geometry

The WAGO Corporation 2086-3103 meets all substitution criteria within these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1822545 and WAGO 2086-3103 maintain Active product status and meet current environmental compliance requirements. The Phoenix Contact 1822545 is RoHS Compliant, while the WAGO 2086-3103 achieves ROHS3 Compliant status, representing an equivalent or enhanced compliance posture. Both components carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints for storage or handling.

Selection between these parts should be based on supply chain availability, packaging format preference (Tape & Reel versus Tray), and termination mechanism preference. The Phoenix Contact uses leg spring and push-in spring termination, while the WAGO uses push button clamp termination. Both methods accommodate the specified 16-24 AWG wire gauge range and maintain the required electrical performance at 10 A and 300 V.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WAGO 2086-3103 be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 1822545 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (3), mounting type (through hole), and board orientation (vertical). PCB footprints are compatible.

Q: Are there differences in wire termination that affect installation?

A: Yes. The Phoenix Contact 1822545 uses leg spring and push-in spring termination, while the WAGO 2086-3103 uses push button clamp termination. Both accept 16-24 AWG wire. Installation procedures differ; refer to manufacturer datasheets for specific termination techniques.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental standards?

A: Both parts are RoHS compliant and carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited). The WAGO achieves ROHS3 Compliant status, which represents current regulatory alignment. Both are suitable for equivalent environmental applications.

Q: What is the difference in housing material between these parts?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1822545 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), while the WAGO 2086-3103 uses Polyphthalamide (PPA) with glass filling. Both materials provide adequate mechanical and thermal performance for the specified current and voltage ratings.

Q: Are packaging differences significant for procurement?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1822545 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format, while the WAGO 2086-3103 is supplied in Tray format. Selection depends on assembly line equipment compatibility and inventory management requirements.

Q: Do both parts support the same current and voltage ratings?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 10 A current and 300 V voltage, maintaining equivalent electrical performance across the specified operating range.
