Phoenix Contact 1860760 Terminal Block Header – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1860760 is a 14-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on 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 1860760. 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 the Phoenix Contact 1860760 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 14 positions at 0.150" (3.81mm) spacing
• Connector Type & Gender: Male pin header with four-side shrouding
• Mounting Configuration: Vertical through-hole orientation
• Electrical Ratings: 8A (IEC/UL), 250V (IEC), 300V (UL)
• Material & Compliance: PBT housing, UL94 V-0 flammability, RoHS compliance

The Phoenix Contact 1803549 qualifies as a direct functional substitute. Both components share identical position count, pitch, connector type, shrouding configuration, mounting orientation, and electrical ratings. The primary differences are termination style (press-fit versus solder) and series designation (COMBICON EMCV versus COMBICON MCV), with the 1803549 representing the active production equivalent.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1803549 is the recommended substitute for the obsolete 1860760 based on the following criteria:

Product Status & Availability: The 1803549 maintains active production status, ensuring long-term supply chain stability and availability. The 1860760's obsolete classification necessitates transition to an active equivalent.

Electrical & Mechanical Compatibility: Both components meet identical IEC and UL electrical ratings (8A, 250V IEC, 300V UL) and share the same mechanical configuration (14 positions, 3.81mm pitch, vertical through-hole, four-side shrouding).

Compliance & Certification: The 1803549 maintains UL94 V-0 flammability rating and exceeds RoHS requirements with ROHS3 compliance, compared to the 1860760's RoHS compliance. Both components carry EAR99 export classification and identical HTSUS codes.

Termination Consideration: The primary functional difference is termination style. The 1860760 uses press-fit termination, while the 1803549 uses solder termination. This difference requires PCB design verification to confirm compatibility with existing board layouts and assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1803549 directly replace the 1860760 in existing designs?

A: The 1803549 provides electrical and mechanical equivalence in terms of position count, pitch, connector type, shrouding, mounting orientation, and current/voltage ratings. However, the termination style difference (solder versus press-fit) requires PCB design verification. Press-fit designs may require board layout modification to accommodate solder termination.

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

A: The series designation reflects product line evolution within Phoenix Contact's terminal block portfolio. The COMBICON MCV series represents the current production line, while COMBICON EMCV is obsolete. Both series maintain compatible electrical and mechanical specifications for this 14-position configuration.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The 1803549 carries ROHS3 compliance, representing a more recent regulatory standard than the 1860760's RoHS compliance. Both components maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating, identical electrical ratings, and EAR99 export classification. The 1803549 also includes REACH Unaffected status.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1860760 was supplied without specified packaging designation. The 1803549 is available in bulk packaging, suitable for production assembly environments.

Q: How do the contact tail lengths differ?

A: The 1860760 has a contact tail length of 0.150" (3.81mm), while the 1803549 measures 0.134" (3.40mm). This minor difference may affect PCB pad design and should be verified during layout transition.
