Phoenix Contact 1824543 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1824543 is a 4-position wire-to-board terminal block designed for surface mount applications with a 4.6mm pitch. This component provides electrical connection between external wiring and printed circuit boards in industrial control and automation systems. The part is currently active in production with full inventory availability. Substitute parts are identified to support procurement flexibility, design revisions, and supply chain continuity when the primary part becomes unavailable or when alternative sourcing is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1824543 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Performance: Current rating (10 A), voltage rating (300 V), and contact material compatibility
• Physical Compatibility: 4 positions, 4.6mm pitch, horizontal board orientation, and surface mount configuration
• Wire Interface: Support for 16-24 AWG wire gauge with screwless termination technology
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating for moisture sensitivity

The WAGO Corporation 2086-1204/700-000/997-605 meets all substitution criteria. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, pitch spacing, position count, and mounting methodology. Functional equivalence is established through matching wire gauge acceptance and screwless termination architecture, despite differences in housing material composition and contact plating specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1824543 and WAGO 2086-1204/700-000/997-605 are active production components with full ROHS3 compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity ratings. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Primary Part (Phoenix Contact 1824543): Use when original design specifications explicitly reference the COMBICON SPT-SMD series or when Liquid Crystal Polymer housing material is required for specific thermal or mechanical requirements.

Substitute Part (WAGO 2086-1204/700-000/997-605): Use when supply constraints affect primary part availability or when the 2086 series design is preferred. The polyphthalamide housing material with glass reinforcement provides alternative mechanical properties. Operating temperature range specification (-60°C ~ 105°C) is provided for the WAGO part; verify compatibility with application requirements.

Both parts satisfy identical electrical load conditions and wire termination functionality. PCB layout and footprint compatibility must be confirmed during design transition, as housing material differences may affect mechanical fit tolerances.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the WAGO 2086-1204/700-000/997-605 be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 1824543?

A: Yes, for applications where the 4-position, 4.6mm pitch, 10A/300V electrical specification is the primary design requirement. Both parts accept 16-24 AWG wire and use screwless termination technology. Verify PCB footprint compatibility and confirm that housing material differences do not conflict with mechanical mounting constraints.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are housing material (LCP versus glass-filled PPA), contact plating composition (tin versus electrolytic copper with tin), and termination mechanism detail (leg spring/push-in spring versus push button clamp). Electrical performance and pitch spacing are identical.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1824543 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. The WAGO part specifies -60°C ~ 105°C. Confirm the application temperature requirements and verify compatibility with the Phoenix Contact part's thermal capabilities before substitution.

Q: What packaging format is available for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) packaging, suitable for automated assembly processes.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both parts are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating, suitable for standard PCB assembly and storage conditions.
