Phoenix Contact 1860676 Terminal Block Header – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1860676 is a 5-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on all four sides, designed for 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch vertical through-hole mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitutes essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part operates at 8A (IEC/UL) and 250V (IEC) / 300V (UL), with press-fit termination and PBT housing rated UL94 V-0.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1860676 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (8A IEC/UL), voltage rating (250V IEC / 300V UL)
• Physical Compatibility: 5 positions, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, vertical orientation, male pins, shrouded (4 side) configuration
• Mechanical Compatibility: Through-hole mounting, PBT housing material, UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Contact Specifications: Tin mating finish, contact tail length tolerance, insulation height

The Phoenix Contact 1803455 qualifies as a substitute based on matching electrical ratings, position count, pitch, orientation, shrouding, mounting type, housing material, and flammability rating. The primary difference is termination style (solder vs. press-fit) and minor contact tail length variation (0.134" vs. 0.150"), which do not prevent functional substitution in applications where the PCB layout accommodates the solder termination method.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1803455 is the primary substitute for the obsolete 1860676. Selection should be based on the following criteria:

Product Status: The 1803455 carries active product status with significantly higher inventory availability (17,930 pcs vs. 742 pcs), ensuring long-term supply chain reliability and reduced procurement risk.

Compliance & Certifications: Both parts maintain equivalent electrical safety certifications (UL94 V-0 flammability rating, 8A/250V IEC, 8A/300V UL). The 1803455 carries ROHS3 compliance, exceeding the RoHS compliance of the 1860676, providing enhanced environmental regulatory alignment.

Termination Method Consideration: The primary distinction is termination style. The 1860676 uses press-fit termination, while the 1803455 uses solder termination. This difference requires PCB design verification to confirm pad layout compatibility. The 0.016" (0.41mm) reduction in contact tail length (0.134" vs. 0.150") must be evaluated against PCB hole depth specifications.

Mechanical & Electrical Equivalence: Identical pitch (3.81mm), position count (5), shrouding configuration, mounting type, housing material, and electrical ratings confirm functional interchangeability for applications where termination method and contact tail length are compatible with the target PCB design.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1803455 directly replace the 1860676 without PCB modification?

A: Functional replacement is possible if the PCB design accommodates solder termination pads and the 0.134" contact tail length. Press-fit and solder termination require different pad geometries and hole specifications. PCB layout verification is necessary.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated 8A (IEC/UL) and 250V (IEC) / 300V (UL), with identical housing material (PBT) and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the contact tail length difference?

A: The 1860676 has a 0.150" (3.81mm) contact tail, while the 1803455 has a 0.134" (3.40mm) tail. This 0.016" difference affects PCB hole depth requirements and solder joint formation. Verify PCB specifications before substitution.

Q: Why is the 1803455 preferred despite the termination style difference?

A: The 1803455 is an active product with substantially higher inventory (17,930 pcs), ensuring supply continuity. The 1860676 is obsolete with limited stock (742 pcs). For new designs or long-term production, the 1803455 provides superior supply chain security and regulatory compliance (ROHS3).

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with the shrouded (4 side) configuration?

A: No. Both parts feature identical shrouded (4 side) male pin headers with vertical orientation and 3.81mm pitch. The shrouding configuration is fully compatible.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 1860676 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1803455 is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect component functionality or electrical performance.
