Phoenix Contact 1850741 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1850741 is a 10-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, designed for 180° free-hanging in-line applications. This component is classified as Active and is suitable for industrial control and signal distribution systems requiring screw-pressure clip termination. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical compatibility, and connector geometry align with the original specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1850741 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• 10-position configuration with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch spacing
• Female socket plug type with 180° wire entry orientation
• Screw-pressure clip termination method
• Free-hanging in-line mounting capability
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status
• M2 screw size for wire termination

The substitute part VM1035500000G (Amphenol Anytek) meets these core mechanical and electrical compatibility criteria. Variations in wire gauge acceptance range, torque specification, and insulation height do not preclude substitution when the application wire gauge falls within the overlapping range (16-28 AWG / 0.5-1.5mm²).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1850741 and Amphenol Anytek VM1035500000G are Active products with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for industrial applications.

The Amphenol Anytek VM1035500000G provides equivalent mechanical and electrical compatibility for applications using wire gauges within the overlapping range of 16-28 AWG (0.5-1.5mm²). The substitute part supports a higher UL current rating of 10A compared to the original 8A, making it suitable for equivalent or lower-current applications.

Selection between these parts should be based on application wire gauge requirements, supply chain availability, and specific torque specifications. The Phoenix Contact 1850741 accommodates a broader wire gauge range (16-30 AWG), while the Amphenol Anytek VM1035500000G is limited to 16-28 AWG.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol Anytek VM1035500000G directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1850741?

A: Yes, for applications using wire gauges between 16-28 AWG (0.5-1.5mm²). Both parts share identical pitch (3.81mm), position count (10), wire entry orientation (180°), termination method (screw-pressure clip), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

Q: What is the wire gauge compatibility overlap?

A: The overlapping wire gauge range is 16-28 AWG (0.5-1.5mm²). Applications requiring 29-30 AWG wire must use the Phoenix Contact 1850741.

Q: Are there differences in screw torque specifications?

A: Yes. The Phoenix Contact 1850741 specifies 0.22-0.25 Nm (1.9-2.2 Lb-In), while the Amphenol Anytek VM1035500000G specifies 0.2 Nm (1.7 Lb-In). Both use M2 screws. Verify torque requirements for your specific application.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory compliance?

A: Yes. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Q: What is the difference in insulation height?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1850741 has an insulation height of 0.484" (12.30mm), while the Amphenol Anytek VM1035500000G has 0.854" (21.69mm). Verify clearance requirements in your mechanical design.
