Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1848892 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Same manufacturer (Phoenix Contact) and series (COMBICON PC)
• Identical connector type (Plug, Female Sockets)
• Matching position count (2 positions)
• Identical pitch specification (0.300" / 7.62mm)
• Same wire entry orientation (180° free-hanging in-line)
• Compatible termination method (screw-based)
• Equivalent or superior electrical ratings (current and voltage)
• Wire gauge compatibility within or exceeding the original range
• Matching housing material and mechanical dimensions
• Equivalent or superior compliance certifications

The Phoenix Contact 1777723 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. While it features enhanced electrical ratings and termination technology, it maintains full mechanical and electrical compatibility with applications designed for the 1848892.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1777723 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1848892 terminal block plug. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical pitch (7.62mm), connector type (plug with female sockets), wire entry orientation (180° free-hanging in-line), housing material (polyamide/nylon), and physical dimensions (insulation height 19.70mm). Direct mechanical interchangeability is confirmed.

Electrical Compatibility: The 1777723 provides equal or superior electrical performance. While the original 1848892 is rated for 20A at 1 kV (IEC) and 20A at 600V (UL), the substitute delivers 41A at 1 kV (IEC) and 41A at 600V (UL). Applications designed for the 1848892 operate safely within the 1777723 electrical envelope.

Termination Method: The 1777723 employs screw-based termination with rising cage clamp technology, an advancement over the standard screw termination of the 1848892. This enhancement improves contact reliability and wire retention without affecting mechanical fit or installation procedures.

Wire Gauge Accommodation: The 1777723 accepts wire gauges from 8-24 AWG (0.2-10mm²), compared to the 1848892 range of 10-30 AWG (0.2-4mm²). The substitute accommodates larger conductor cross-sections, providing design flexibility for higher current applications.

Compliance Status: The 1777723 holds active product status with ROHS3 compliance, superior to the obsolete 1848892. Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, M3 screw size, tin contact mating finish, and equivalent environmental certifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99, HTSUS 8536.90.4000).

Supply Availability: The 1777723 is in active production with 2948 units in stock, ensuring long-term supply continuity compared to the obsolete 1848892.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1777723 directly replace the 1848892 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1777723 maintains identical mechanical dimensions, pitch, connector type, and wire entry orientation. No PCB or mechanical redesign is required. The substitute is a direct plug-and-play replacement.

Q: What is the difference in termination technology between these parts?

A: The 1848892 uses standard screw termination. The 1777723 incorporates rising cage clamp technology within its screw termination system, enhancing wire retention and contact pressure consistency. Both employ M3 screws with compatible torque specifications (0.5-0.6 Nm for 1848892; 0.5-0.8 Nm for 1777723).

Q: Are there wire gauge limitations when substituting?

A: The 1848892 accommodates 10-30 AWG (0.2-4mm²). The 1777723 accepts 8-24 AWG (0.2-10mm²). For applications using wire gauges between 24-30 AWG, the 1777723 does not support the upper range. For all other wire gauges within the 1848892 specification, the 1777723 is fully compatible.

Q: What are the electrical rating differences?

A: The 1848892 is rated 20A at 1 kV (IEC) and 20A at 600V (UL). The 1777723 is rated 41A at 1 kV (IEC) and 41A at 600V (UL). Applications designed for the 1848892 operate safely with the 1777723, as the substitute provides superior current capacity.

Q: Is the 1777723 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1777723 is ROHS3 compliant, exceeding the RoHS compliance status of the obsolete 1848892. Both parts are REACH Unaffected and carry EAR99 export classification.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 1848892 original packaging is not specified. The 1777723 is supplied in bulk packaging, suitable for production assembly and component procurement workflows.

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

A: Operating temperature specifications are not provided for either part in the available data. Consult Phoenix Contact technical documentation for thermal operating range requirements specific to your application.
