Phoenix Contact 1826351 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1826351 is a 9-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, and 225° free-hanging wire entry configuration. This component is designed for screw-based electrical connections in industrial control and distribution applications. The part is currently active in production with 932 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical compatibility, and connector geometry align with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in applications where wire entry angle and termination method remain compatible.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1826351 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the original specification (15 A UL, 300 V UL). Wire gauge acceptance range must accommodate 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) conductors.

Mechanical Compatibility: Number of positions (9), pitch (0.200"/5.08mm), and termination method (screw-based rising cage clamp) must be identical. Screw size (M3) and mounting type (free-hanging in-line) must match.

Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating are required for direct substitution in equivalent applications.

Wire Entry Angle: The 225° wire entry angle is a defining characteristic of this connector configuration. Substitute parts with different wire entry angles (such as 180°) may require mechanical redesign of the installation and are classified as functional alternatives rather than direct substitutes.

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors part 796634-9 shares core electrical and mechanical parameters but differs in wire entry angle (180° vs. 225°), making it a functional alternative for applications where wire routing can accommodate the different entry geometry.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Substitution (Same Wire Entry Angle): No alternative parts with identical 225° wire entry angle are provided in the substitute list. The Phoenix Contact 1826351 remains the specified component for applications requiring this specific wire entry geometry.

Functional Alternative (Different Wire Entry Angle): The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 796634-9 provides electrical and mechanical equivalence with 180° wire entry. This part is suitable for applications where:

Electrical ratings (15 A UL, 300 V UL) are sufficient
Wire gauge requirements fall within 12-30 AWG
Installation geometry can accommodate 180° wire entry instead of 225°
Screw-based termination is required

Both parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ensuring regulatory equivalence. The TE Connectivity part offers a broader wire gauge acceptance range (0.05-3mm² vs. 0.2-2.5mm²) and specified operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 110°C).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 796634-9 be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 1826351?

A: The TE Connectivity part matches electrical ratings, mechanical pitch, position count, and termination method. However, the wire entry angle differs (180° vs. 225°). Direct mechanical substitution requires verification that the installation can accommodate the different wire entry geometry. If the original design specifically requires 225° entry, mechanical redesign is necessary.

Q: What are the critical parameters for terminal block plug substitution?

A: Substitution requires matching: number of positions, pitch (0.200"/5.08mm), termination method (screw-based rising cage clamp), current rating (minimum 15 A UL), voltage rating (minimum 300 V UL), wire gauge compatibility (12-30 AWG), and screw size (M3). Wire entry angle is a defining characteristic that affects physical installation.

Q: Are both parts RoHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The Phoenix Contact 1826351 is ROHS3 compliant. The TE Connectivity 796634-9 is also ROHS3 compliant, ensuring regulatory equivalence for applications subject to RoHS requirements.

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

A: The Phoenix Contact 1826351 accepts 0.2-2.5mm² (12-30 AWG). The TE Connectivity 796634-9 accepts 0.05-3mm² (12-30 AWG), providing a broader range for smaller and larger conductor cross-sections.

Q: Does the TE Connectivity part provide operating temperature specifications?

A: Yes. The TE Connectivity 796634-9 is rated for -40°C to 110°C operation. The Phoenix Contact 1826351 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data.

Q: What is the packaging format for both parts?

A: Both parts are supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for production assembly and component stocking.
