Phoenix Contact 1862933 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1862933 is a 10-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 4.6mm pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This component features screw-type rising cage clamp termination and operates at 8A (IEC) / 300V (UL). The part is active in production 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 termination methods align with the original specification, enabling component interchangeability in system designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1862933 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed 8A (UL) and 300V (UL)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 10 positions, 4.6mm pitch, female socket configuration, and free-hanging in-line mounting
• Termination Method: Screw-type rising cage clamp termination
• Wire Gauge Acceptance: Support for 14-30 AWG wire range (or compatible subset)
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The Molex 0395033010 qualifies as a substitute based on matching electrical ratings (8A UL, 300V UL), identical position count and pitch, equivalent termination technology, and equivalent regulatory compliance. Differences in wire entry angle (90° vs. 270°) and wire gauge range do not preclude substitution when mechanical layout permits the alternative orientation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1862933 and Molex 0395033010 are active production components with equivalent electrical performance and regulatory compliance. Selection between these parts should be based on:

Mechanical Layout Considerations: The primary difference is wire entry angle (270° vs. 90°). The Phoenix Contact part features a 270° free-hanging configuration, while the Molex part uses 90° entry. System layout and cable routing requirements determine which orientation is appropriate.

Wire Gauge Range: The Phoenix Contact part accepts 14-30 AWG, while the Molex part accepts 16-30 AWG. Applications requiring 14 AWG wire termination must use the Phoenix Contact part.

Regulatory Alignment: Both parts meet ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability requirements, suitable for industrial control applications.

Supply Chain: The Molex part has higher current inventory (1788 pcs vs. 889 pcs), which may influence procurement decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0395033010 directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1862933 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible if the system layout accommodates the 90° wire entry angle instead of 270°. Electrical and mechanical specifications are equivalent. If the design requires 14 AWG wire support, the Phoenix Contact part must be used.

Q: What is the significance of the different wire entry angles?

A: Wire entry angle determines cable routing orientation. A 270° entry allows cables to exit in a specific direction relative to the connector body, while 90° entry provides an alternative routing path. The choice depends on physical space constraints and cable management in the application.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same voltage and current applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 8A (UL) and 300V (UL), making them electrically equivalent for applications within these specifications.

Q: What is the difference between the housing materials?

A: Phoenix Contact uses polyamide (PA) nylon, while Molex uses polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6. Both materials provide UL94 V-0 flammability rating and are suitable for industrial applications. PA66 offers slightly enhanced thermal and mechanical properties.

Q: Do both parts use the same termination method?

A: Yes. Both employ screw-type rising cage clamp termination, ensuring compatible installation procedures and tooling requirements.

Q: What wire gauge range should I specify for my application?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1862933 supports 14-30 AWG, while the Molex 0395033010 supports 16-30 AWG. Select the part that matches your wire gauge requirements. For 14 AWG applications, use the Phoenix Contact part exclusively.
