Phoenix Contact 1822985 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1822985 is a 3-position wire-to-board terminal block with 5.00mm pitch, designed for horizontal PCB mounting through-hole applications. This component operates at 10A and 300V, accommodating wire gauges from 16-24 AWG with screwless push-in spring termination. The part is currently active in production with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical compatibility, and board integration requirements are met across the same functional category.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The WAGO Corporation 2086-3203 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical current (10A) and voltage (300V) ratings, ensuring equivalent power handling capacity
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both feature 3 positions per level with 5.00mm pitch spacing and horizontal-with-board mating orientation, enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility
• Wire Accommodation: Both accept 16-24 AWG wire gauges through through-hole mounting
• Termination Method: Both employ screwless push-in spring termination, eliminating tool requirements and reducing assembly time
• Regulatory Compliance: Both maintain RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating (MSL 1)

The substitute part differs in housing material composition and contact plating specifications but maintains functional equivalence for the specified electrical and mechanical requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1822985 and WAGO 2086-3203 maintain active product status with current manufacturing support. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Supply Chain Availability: The WAGO 2086-3203 currently maintains higher inventory (1371 pcs) compared to the Phoenix Contact 1822985 (657 pcs)
• Regulatory Requirements: Both parts satisfy RoHS compliance; the WAGO part carries ROHS3 designation with documented REACH unaffected status
• Material Specifications: The WAGO housing material (glass-filled PPA) provides enhanced mechanical durability compared to LCP, with upgraded contact plating (electrolytic copper base) offering improved corrosion resistance
• Packaging Format: Phoenix Contact supplies in tape & reel format; WAGO supplies in tray format, affecting procurement and handling procedures

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WAGO 2086-3203 replace the Phoenix Contact 1822985 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (10A, 300V), mechanical pitch (5.00mm), position count (3), and through-hole mounting configuration. PCB footprints are compatible without modification.

Q: Are there differences in wire termination between these parts?

A: Both employ screwless push-in spring termination. The Phoenix Contact uses leg spring and push-in spring mechanisms, while the WAGO uses push-button clamp actuation. Both accommodate 16-24 AWG wire without tool requirements.

Q: What is the impact of different housing materials?

A: The Phoenix Contact uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP); the WAGO uses glass-filled Polyphthalamide (PPA). Glass-filled PPA provides superior mechanical strength and thermal stability. Both materials maintain the same electrical insulation properties required for 300V operation.

Q: Do packaging differences affect component performance?

A: No. Tape & reel (Phoenix Contact) and tray (WAGO) packaging formats affect only procurement, storage, and assembly line handling. Electrical and mechanical performance remains identical.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current environmental regulations?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS compliant. The WAGO part carries ROHS3 designation and is documented as REACH unaffected, providing additional regulatory documentation for restricted substance compliance.
