Phoenix Contact 1823036 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1823036 is an 8-position wire-to-board terminal block with 5.00mm pitch, designed for horizontal mounting on PCBs through-hole connections. This component is classified as Active product status and is RoHS3 compliant. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters are maintained across the same functional category, ensuring direct interchangeability in circuit board applications without design modification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The WAGO Corporation 2086-3208 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain 10 A current rating and 300 V voltage rating
• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical 8-position configuration with 5.00mm pitch spacing
• Mounting Compatibility: Both use through-hole PCB mounting with horizontal board orientation
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Both accept 16-24 AWG wire termination
• Regulatory Compliance: Both are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected

The primary difference lies in wire termination method: the Phoenix Contact 1823036 uses screwless leg spring push-in termination, while the WAGO 2086-3208 uses push-button clamp termination. Both methods provide equivalent electrical connection reliability within the specified current and voltage parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1823036 and WAGO 2086-3208 maintain Active product status and full regulatory compliance under RoHS3 and REACH standards. Selection between these parts should be based on termination method preference: the Phoenix Contact uses leg spring push-in termination, while the WAGO uses push-button clamp actuation. Both methods are suitable for 10 A / 300 V applications with 16-24 AWG wire. Housing material differs (LCP versus glass-filled PPA), which may influence thermal or mechanical performance in specific environmental conditions. Contact plating specifications also vary, with the WAGO providing electrolytic copper base plating versus tin plating on the Phoenix Contact.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WAGO 2086-3208 directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1823036 on an existing PCB?

A: Yes, both parts share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (8), mounting type (through-hole), and electrical ratings (10 A / 300 V). PCB footprints are compatible. The primary operational difference is the wire termination method: push-in spring versus push-button clamp.

Q: Are there differences in wire insertion force or removal procedure?

A: The termination methods differ. The Phoenix Contact uses leg spring push-in termination, while the WAGO uses push-button clamp actuation. Consult manufacturer datasheets for specific insertion and removal force specifications if this is critical to your assembly process.

Q: Do both parts support the same wire gauge range?

A: Yes, both parts accept 16-24 AWG wire termination without modification.

Q: Are there temperature operating range differences?

A: The WAGO 2086-3208 specifies -60°C to 105°C operating temperature. The Phoenix Contact 1823036 does not provide an operating temperature specification in the available data.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1823036 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, while the WAGO 2086-3208 is supplied in Tray packaging. This affects handling and automated assembly compatibility but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes, both parts are RoHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected.
