Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for terminal block plugs is determined by strict alignment of core electrical and mechanical parameters. The Phoenix Contact 1828362 can be substituted with the Weidmüller 1799190000 based on the following criteria:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Number of positions: 4 (identical)
• Pitch: 0.150" (3.81mm) (identical)
• Connector type: Plug with female sockets (identical)
• Voltage rating - IEC: 320 V (identical)
• Screw size: M2 (identical)
• Material flammability: UL94 V-0 (identical)
• Mounting type: Free hanging in-line (identical)

Allowable Variations:

• Plug wire entry angle: 90° vs. 270° (different orientations for different installation geometries)
• Termination mechanism: Rising cage clamp vs. clamping yoke (both screw-based, functionally equivalent)
• Current rating: 8A IEC vs. 17.5A IEC (substitute has higher capacity, acceptable for downgrade applications)
• Wire gauge range: 14-30 AWG vs. 16-28 AWG (overlap range 16-28 AWG is compatible)
• Insulation height: 0.752" vs. 0.411" (different form factors, application-dependent)

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the Phoenix Contact 1828362 and Weidmüller 1799190000 is based on application-specific requirements and compliance status:

Phoenix Contact 1828362 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring 90° wire entry orientation
• Systems designed around the 0.752" (19.10mm) insulation height
• Wire gauge requirements at the lower end (14-15 AWG / 0.14mm²)
• RoHS3 compliance requirement
• Moisture sensitivity level 1 (unlimited) requirement

Weidmüller 1799190000 Selection Criteria:

• Applications requiring 270° wire entry orientation
• Compact installations where 0.411" (10.44mm) insulation height is advantageous
• Operating temperature range requirement (-50°C ~ 120°C)
• IP20 ingress protection requirement
• Higher current capacity (17.5A IEC / 10A UL) for margin applications
• Wire gauge range 16-28 AWG compatibility
• Clamping yoke termination mechanism preference

Both parts maintain identical voltage ratings (320V IEC / 300V UL), screw size (M2), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and pitch (3.81mm), ensuring core electrical and mechanical compatibility within their respective application contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Weidmüller 1799190000 directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1828362 in existing installations?

A: Direct replacement depends on wire entry orientation and form factor requirements. The 270° wire entry of the Weidmüller differs from the 90° entry of the Phoenix Contact. Physical space constraints and connector positioning must be evaluated. The insulation height difference (0.752" vs. 0.411") may affect mounting geometry.

Q: Are the screw termination mechanisms interchangeable?

A: Both use M2 screw-based termination with overlapping torque specifications (0.2-0.25 Nm). The Phoenix Contact uses a rising cage clamp mechanism, while the Weidmüller uses a clamping yoke (tension sleeve). Both are functionally equivalent for wire retention and electrical connection.

Q: What wire gauge compatibility exists between these parts?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1828362 accepts 14-30 AWG (0.14-1.5mm²). The Weidmüller 1799190000 accepts 16-28 AWG (0.2-1.5mm²). The compatible overlap range is 16-28 AWG (0.2-1.5mm²). Applications using 14-15 AWG wire require the Phoenix Contact.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory compliance standards?

A: Both parts are UL94 V-0 flammable material rated and REACH unaffected. The Phoenix Contact is RoHS3 compliant, while the Weidmüller is RoHS compliant. Both meet industrial electrical safety standards for their respective voltage and current ratings.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference?

A: The Weidmüller 1799190000 has higher current ratings (17.5A IEC / 10A UL) compared to the Phoenix Contact 1828362 (8A IEC / 8A UL). The substitute can handle higher current loads, making it suitable for applications requiring additional capacity margin. For applications at or below 8A, both parts are electrically equivalent.

Q: Does the Weidmüller part offer environmental protection advantages?

A: The Weidmüller 1799190000 includes IP20 ingress protection and specifies an operating temperature range (-50°C ~ 120°C). The Phoenix Contact 1828362 does not specify these parameters. Applications requiring environmental protection or extended temperature operation should specify the Weidmüller part.
