Phoenix Contact 1860692 Terminal Block Header – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1860692 is a 7-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 functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

The primary reason for identifying substitute parts is the obsolete status of the 1860692. Active production alternatives with identical or compatible electrical and mechanical specifications ensure design continuity and supply chain reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for terminal block headers is determined by strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish functional equivalence:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Number of positions: 7
• Pitch specification: 0.150" (3.81mm)
• Header orientation: Vertical
• Connector type: Male pins, shrouded (4 side)
• Mounting method: Through hole
• Current rating (IEC): 8A minimum
• Voltage rating (IEC): 250V minimum
• Housing material: PBT
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Variations:

• Termination style (press-fit vs. solder)
• Contact tail length (within mechanical compatibility range)
• Series designation (COMBICON EMCV vs. COMBICON MCV)
• Packaging format
• Product status (obsolete vs. active)

The substitute part 1803471 meets all critical parameters and is therefore classified as a direct functional equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Obsolete Part Replacement:

The Phoenix Contact 1803471 is the active production equivalent for the obsolete 1860692. Both components share identical electrical ratings (8A at 250V IEC, 8A at 300V UL), mechanical configuration (7-position, 3.81mm pitch, vertical through-hole), and material specifications (PBT housing, UL94 V-0 flammability rating).

Key Differences:

The primary distinction between these parts is termination method: the 1860692 uses press-fit termination, while the 1803471 employs solder termination. This difference affects assembly methodology but does not impact electrical performance or mechanical fit within standard PCB layouts. The contact tail length variation (0.150" vs. 0.134") is within acceptable tolerance for through-hole mounting applications.

Compliance Status:

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance (1860692: RoHS Compliant; 1803471: ROHS3 Compliant) and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications. The 1803471 includes REACH Unaffected status, confirming regulatory alignment for current procurement requirements.

Selection Basis:

Choose the 1803471 for new designs and ongoing production. The active product status ensures supply chain continuity and technical support availability. For legacy system maintenance where press-fit termination is specifically required, verify mechanical compatibility of the solder-terminated 1803471 within the existing assembly process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1803471 directly replace the 1860692 in existing assemblies?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed. The primary consideration is termination method: the 1803471 requires solder attachment rather than press-fit insertion. PCB pad design and assembly process must accommodate solder termination. Contact tail length difference (0.150" to 0.134") remains within standard through-hole tolerance ranges.

Q: What is the significance of the series designation change from COMBICON EMCV to COMBICON MCV?

A: Series designation reflects product line evolution within Phoenix Contact's terminal block portfolio. Both series maintain identical electrical ratings, mechanical specifications, and material properties. The change represents manufacturing continuity rather than functional modification.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between these parts?

A: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and maintain RoHS compliance. The 1803471 includes REACH Unaffected status, providing additional regulatory documentation. ECCN and HTSUS classifications are identical, confirming equivalent trade and export compliance.

Q: What packaging options are available for the 1803471?

A: The 1803471 is supplied in bulk packaging, differing from the 1860692 packaging specification. Verify bulk packaging compatibility with procurement and inventory management requirements.

Q: Is the contact tail length difference between 0.150" and 0.134" significant for PCB design?

A: The 0.016" (0.41mm) difference falls within standard through-hole manufacturing tolerances. PCB pad design for both parts remains compatible. Verify specific PCB layout requirements if custom pad specifications are in use.
