Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1824489 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Identical current (12A IEC, 10A UL) and voltage ratings (630V IEC, 300V UL)
• Physical Compatibility: Matching pitch (5.08mm), position count (15), and board mount configuration
• Termination Compatibility: Screw termination with M3 screw size and identical torque specification (0.5-0.6 Nm)
• Wire Accommodation: Identical wire gauge range (12-30 AWG / 0.2-2.5mm²)
• Material and Safety: Polyamide housing with UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The substitute part 1824256 meets all these criteria while offering active product status and enhanced features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1824256 is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1824489. Both components share identical electrical ratings, physical dimensions, and termination specifications, ensuring direct substitution without circuit redesign or board layout modification.

The 1824256 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. The component maintains RoHS compliance with ROHS3 certification and includes retention latches as an additional feature not present in the original part. These enhancements do not alter the core electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Selection between these parts should be based on procurement requirements: the 1824489 remains available in existing inventory (1107 pcs), while the 1824256 provides long-term supply assurance with 736 pcs in stock and active manufacturing status.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1824256 be used as a direct replacement for the 1824489 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components are electrically and mechanically identical across all critical parameters: 15-position configuration, 5.08mm pitch, 12A/630V IEC ratings, M3 screw termination, and wire gauge accommodation (12-30 AWG). No circuit or board modifications are required.

Q: What is the significance of the retention latches feature on the 1824256?

A: Retention latches provide mechanical security for mated connectors. This feature does not affect electrical performance or physical compatibility with the 1824489 and represents an enhancement in the active product design.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1824489 is supplied with unspecified packaging, while the 1824256 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both maintain identical MSL rating (1 - Unlimited) and handling requirements.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to both parts?

A: Both components meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are RoHS compliant. The 1824256 carries ROHS3 certification, representing current regulatory compliance. Both are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: Why is the 1824489 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. The 1824256 represents the current active equivalent within the COMBICON MSTBU series, ensuring access to ongoing manufacturing and supply.
