Phoenix Contact 1823023 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1823023 is a 7-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 Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for industrial control and automation applications where reliable wire-to-board connections are required. Substitute parts are identified to provide alternative sourcing options when the primary part is unavailable or when specific packaging or operational requirements necessitate component alternatives.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1823023 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (10A), voltage rating (300V), and wire gauge acceptance (16-24 AWG) must match exactly
• Physical Compatibility: 7 positions per level, 5.00mm pitch, and through-hole mounting configuration must be identical
• Termination Method: Wire termination must support screwless push-in connection methodology
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited) are required

The WAGO Corporation 2086-3207 meets all substitution criteria. While housing material and contact plating specifications differ (PPA glass-filled versus LCP, and electrolytic copper tin-plated versus tin-plated), these variations remain within acceptable engineering tolerances for the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Operating temperature range is provided for the substitute part but not specified for the primary part, representing an enhancement rather than a limitation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1823023 and WAGO 2086-3207 are Active status components with ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings, qualifying them for equivalent use in applications meeting the specified electrical and mechanical parameters. Selection between these parts should be based on:

• Availability and Lead Time: The WAGO 2086-3207 currently has higher inventory (1052 pcs) compared to the Phoenix Contact 1823023 (705 pcs)
• Packaging Format: Phoenix Contact supplies in Tape & Reel format; WAGO supplies in Tray format. PCB assembly processes may have specific packaging requirements
• Termination Actuation: Phoenix Contact uses leg spring with push-in termination; WAGO uses push button clamp actuation. Both are screwless methods suitable for the specified wire gauges
• Operating Temperature: WAGO specifies -60°C to 105°C operating range; Phoenix Contact does not specify this parameter. Applications requiring defined temperature performance should reference WAGO specifications

Both parts satisfy regulatory requirements (ROHS3, EAR99, HTSUS 8536.90.4000) and are suitable for direct substitution in wire-to-board connection applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WAGO 2086-3207 directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1823023 on existing PCBs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (7), mounting type (through-hole), and electrical ratings (10A, 300V, 16-24 AWG). PCB footprints are compatible. Termination method differences (leg spring versus push button clamp) do not affect PCB compatibility, as both are screwless push-in systems.

Q: What is the difference in wire termination between these parts?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1823023 uses leg spring with push-in spring termination. The WAGO 2086-3207 uses push button clamp termination. Both methods are screwless and accept 16-24 AWG wire. The push button clamp on the WAGO part provides tactile feedback during wire insertion.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching between these parts?

A: Yes. The Phoenix Contact 1823023 is supplied in Tape & Reel format, suitable for automated pick-and-place assembly. The WAGO 2086-3207 is supplied in Tray format, typically used for manual assembly or bulk handling. Assembly process compatibility should be verified before substitution.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, carry EAR99 ECCN classification, and share the same HTSUS code (8536.90.4000). Both have MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions.

Q: Is there a temperature performance difference between these parts?

A: The WAGO 2086-3207 specifies an operating temperature range of -60°C to 105°C. The Phoenix Contact 1823023 does not provide operating temperature specifications in the available data. For applications requiring defined temperature performance, the WAGO part provides explicit thermal operating limits.
