Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The WAGO Corporation 2086-3204 qualifies as a functional equivalent based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical current (10A) and voltage (300V) ratings, ensuring equivalent power handling capacity in circuit applications.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components feature 4 positions per level with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing, horizontal board orientation, and through-hole mounting, enabling direct PCB footprint compatibility.

Wire Interface: Both accept 16-24 AWG wire gauges through screwless termination mechanisms, maintaining consistent wire preparation and connection reliability.

Environmental Compliance: Both parts carry RoHS compliance status and MSL rating 1, meeting regulatory requirements for industrial and consumer electronics applications.

Packaging Difference: The main part is supplied in Tape & Reel format, while the substitute is supplied in Tray format. This distinction affects logistics and assembly processes but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1822998 and WAGO 2086-3204 maintain active product status and meet current regulatory compliance standards. The Phoenix Contact part carries standard RoHS compliance, while the WAGO substitute carries ROHS3 compliance, indicating alignment with the most current restriction directives.

Selection between these parts should be based on:

Supply Chain Availability: Current inventory levels differ between manufacturers. Phoenix Contact 1822998 has 814 units in stock, while WAGO 2086-3204 has 1420 units available.

Termination Mechanism Preference: The Phoenix Contact uses leg spring and push-in spring termination, while the WAGO uses push button clamp actuation. Both are screwless systems suitable for rapid assembly.

Housing Material Specification: If application requirements specify liquid crystal polymer housing, the Phoenix Contact part is the direct choice. If polyphthalamide glass-filled housing is acceptable, the WAGO part provides equivalent electrical performance.

Packaging Format: Assembly operations using automated tape-and-reel equipment should specify the Phoenix Contact part. Operations using tray-based component handling should specify the WAGO part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WAGO 2086-3204 be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 1822998 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (4), mounting type (through-hole), and board orientation (horizontal). PCB footprints designed for either part are mechanically and electrically compatible with the other.

Q: Are there differences in wire termination that affect assembly procedures?

A: Both parts use screwless termination systems. The Phoenix Contact uses push-in spring termination, while the WAGO uses push button clamp actuation. Both methods accommodate 16-24 AWG wire without requiring tools or torque specifications. Assembly procedures differ slightly but both enable rapid wire insertion.

Q: Do the different housing materials affect electrical performance?

A: No. Both liquid crystal polymer (LCP) and polyphthalamide (PPA) glass-filled materials meet the 300V and 10A electrical requirements. Material selection affects mechanical durability and environmental resistance but not electrical characteristics within the specified operating parameters.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on the WAGO part versus standard RoHS on the Phoenix Contact?

A: ROHS3 represents the current iteration of the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive. Both parts are compliant with their respective versions. ROHS3 compliance indicates the WAGO part meets the most recent regulatory requirements.

Q: Does packaging format affect component performance?

A: No. Tape & Reel and Tray packaging formats are logistics and assembly handling methods only. They do not affect electrical, mechanical, or performance characteristics of the terminal block itself.

Q: Are both parts suitable for industrial control applications?

A: Yes. Both parts carry MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level) and maintain active product status, indicating suitability for industrial automation, control systems, and similar applications requiring reliable wire-to-board connections.
