Phoenix Contact 1850725 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1850725 is an 8-position terminal block plug with female sockets, designed for 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch applications. This component features 180° free-hanging (in-line) configuration with screw-pressure clip termination. The part is Active status and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for industrial control and automation applications requiring reliable electrical connections.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical compatibility, and connector specifications align with the original design parameters.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1850725 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Connector Type & Configuration: Plug with female sockets, 8-position, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, 180° wire entry orientation
Electrical Ratings: Current capacity (minimum 8A UL), voltage rating (minimum 300V UL)
Termination Method: Screw-pressure clip termination with M2 screw
Wire Compatibility: Support for 16-30 AWG (0.14-1.5mm²) wire gauge range
Compliance & Material: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, EAR99 ECCN classification

The substitute part VM0835500000G (Amphenol Anytek) meets these core substitution criteria through equivalent mechanical interface, compatible electrical specifications, and matching compliance certifications.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1850725 and Amphenol Anytek VM0835500000G are Active status products with ROHS3 compliance and EAR99 ECCN classification. Selection between these parts should be based on the following provided specifications:

The Amphenol Anytek VM0835500000G offers higher UL current rating (10A versus 8A) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 115°C). However, the wire gauge range is narrower (16-28 AWG versus 16-30 AWG), and the wire strip length differs (6-7mm versus 9mm). The insulation height also differs significantly (0.854" versus 0.484").

Both parts maintain identical pitch (3.81mm), termination method (screw-pressure clip), mounting configuration (free hanging in-line), voltage rating (300V UL), and flammability certification (UL94 V-0). Mechanical fit and electrical interface compatibility are equivalent for standard applications within the specified wire gauge overlap (16-28 AWG, 0.5-1.5mm²).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol Anytek VM0835500000G directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1850725?

A: Direct mechanical and electrical replacement is possible for applications using wire gauges within the overlapping range (16-28 AWG, 0.5-1.5mm²). Physical dimensions differ, particularly insulation height (0.854" versus 0.484") and wire strip length (6-7mm versus 9mm), which may affect mounting clearance and installation procedures.

Q: What are the key differences in electrical specifications?

A: The Amphenol Anytek part supports higher UL current (10A versus 8A). Both maintain 300V UL voltage rating. The Phoenix Contact part supports extended wire gauge range (16-30 AWG) compared to the Amphenol part (16-28 AWG).

Q: Are both parts compliant with the same standards?

A: Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified as EAR99. Both carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and identical HTSUS classification (8536.90.4000).

Q: What wire gauge considerations apply to substitution?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1850725 accepts 16-30 AWG (0.14-1.5mm²). The Amphenol Anytek VM0835500000G accepts 16-28 AWG (0.5-1.5mm²). Substitution is valid only for wire gauges within the overlapping range: 16-28 AWG (0.5-1.5mm²).

Q: Do screw torque specifications differ between parts?

A: Yes. Phoenix Contact specifies 0.22-0.25 Nm (1.9-2.2 Lb-In). Amphenol Anytek specifies 0.2 Nm (1.7 Lb-In). Installation procedures should follow the specific manufacturer's torque requirements for the selected part.
