Phoenix Contact 1830622 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1830622 is a 5-position vertical terminal block header with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, designed for through-hole solder mounting applications. This component features male pins with 4-side shrouding and is rated for 8A at 250V (IEC) or 300V (UL). The part is currently active in production and widely used in industrial control, automation, and power distribution applications where reliable connector interfaces are required.

Substitute parts become necessary when the primary manufacturer part is unavailable, when supply chain optimization is required, or when design flexibility allows for equivalent alternatives that meet the same electrical and mechanical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1830622 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the original specification (minimum 8A at 250V IEC or 300V UL)
• Physical Compatibility: Pitch (0.150"/3.81mm), number of positions (5), and header orientation (vertical) must be identical
• Mechanical Interface: Termination style (solder), mounting type (through hole), and shrouding configuration (4-side male pins) must match
• Compliance Requirements: RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating are mandatory for direct substitution
• Contact Interface: Tin mating finish and contact tail length (0.138"/4.60mm) ensure proper mating with corresponding receptacles

The identified substitute parts meet all these criteria while originating from different manufacturers (Molex and Weidmüller), providing supply chain alternatives without compromising functional or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1830622 (Primary Part) Use as the primary selection when Phoenix Contact supply is available and cost is not a limiting factor. This part maintains active production status and offers established supply chain reliability.

Molex 0395156005 (Direct Equivalent) This substitute provides electrical and mechanical equivalence with identical pitch, position count, and UL ratings. The housing material differs (PA66 nylon versus PBT), but both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Insulation height tolerance is within acceptable limits (0.360" versus 0.362"). This part is suitable for direct substitution in applications where Molex supply chain access is preferred or where cost optimization is required. ROHS3 compliance and tin mating finish ensure full compatibility with existing receptacles.

Weidmüller 1793820000 (Enhanced Specification Substitute) This substitute exceeds the original specification in current capacity (10A UL, 17.5A IEC) and voltage rating (320V IEC), making it suitable for applications requiring higher power handling capability. The contact tail length is slightly shorter (0.126" versus 0.138"), which may require PCB layout verification for through-hole clearance. The glass-filled polyamide housing provides enhanced mechanical strength. IP20 ingress protection rating and copper alloy contacts offer additional environmental robustness. This part is recommended when supply constraints on the primary part exist or when design margins for higher current applications are beneficial.

All three parts share identical pitch, position configuration, and vertical orientation, ensuring mechanical interchangeability on standard PCB layouts designed for 3.81mm terminal block headers.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use Molex 0395156005 as a direct replacement for Phoenix Contact 1830622? A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (8A at 300V UL), pitch (3.81mm), position count (5), and termination method (solder through-hole). Housing material differs (PA66 nylon versus PBT), but both meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards. Insulation height tolerance is within acceptable limits. Direct substitution is supported.

Q: What is the key difference between Weidmüller 1793820000 and the other two parts? A: The Weidmüller part offers higher current capacity (10A UL, 17.5A IEC versus 8A), higher voltage rating (320V IEC), and includes IP20 ingress protection. The contact tail length is 0.126" instead of 0.138", requiring PCB layout verification. This part is suitable when higher power handling or environmental protection is required.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Phoenix Contact 1830622 and Molex 0395156005 are ROHS3 compliant. Weidmüller 1793820000 is RoHS compliant. All three parts meet current environmental regulations for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: Will the contact tail length difference on the Weidmüller part affect PCB compatibility? A: The Weidmüller part has a contact tail length of 0.126" compared to 0.138" on the other two parts. This 0.012" difference is minor but should be verified against PCB through-hole depth and solder fillet requirements during design review. Standard PCB designs typically accommodate this variation.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for each part? A: Phoenix Contact 1830622 does not specify an operating temperature range in the provided data. Molex 0395156005 operates from -40°C to 105°C. Weidmüller 1793820000 operates from -50°C to 120°C. For temperature-critical applications, the Weidmüller part provides the widest operating range.

Q: Are all parts available in the same packaging? A: Yes. All three parts are supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for standard component procurement and assembly workflows.

Q: Which part should I select for a new design? A: For new designs without specific supply chain constraints, the Weidmüller 1793820000 is recommended due to higher current capacity, wider operating temperature range, and IP20 ingress protection. For cost-optimized designs or when Phoenix Contact supply is established, the primary part or Molex equivalent are appropriate selections.
