Phoenix Contact 1880313 Terminal Block Header – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1880313 is a 3-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded design, and 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch in 90° right-angle through-hole configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations. The COMBICON EMSTBA series part employs press-fit termination and is rated for 12A (IEC) / 15A (UL) operation at 400V (IEC) / 300V (UL).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1880313 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of positions: 3
• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Header orientation: 90°, Right Angle
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side)
• Voltage rating (IEC): 400V minimum
• Current rating (IEC): 12A minimum
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS compliance: ROHS3 Compliant

Allowable Variations:

• Termination style: Press-fit or solder acceptable
• Housing material: PBT, Polyamide (PA/Nylon), or Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact tail length: Variation permitted within mechanical constraints
• Color: Variation permitted
• Series designation: Different COMBICON series acceptable

The two substitute parts listed (1757255 and 1954922) satisfy all mandatory parameters while differing in termination method, housing material, and physical dimensions.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1757255 (COMBICON MSTBA Series)

Part 1757255 is the primary active substitute for the obsolete 1880313. Both components maintain identical electrical ratings (12A IEC, 15A UL) and mechanical pitch (5.08mm). The transition from press-fit to solder termination requires PCB design modification but does not affect electrical performance. Housing material change from PBT to polyamide (PA/Nylon) maintains UL94 V-0 flammability compliance. This part is currently in active production status with substantial inventory availability (9473 pcs), ensuring long-term supply continuity.

Phoenix Contact 1954922 (COMBICON CCA Series)

Part 1954922 serves as a secondary substitute with active product status. This component maintains the same 3-position, 5.08mm pitch, and 90° right-angle configuration. The UL current rating is reduced to 10A (versus 15A for the main part), making it suitable for applications operating within this lower threshold. Housing material is liquid crystal polymer (LCP), providing enhanced thermal and chemical resistance compared to PBT. Contact tail length is significantly shorter (0.102" versus 0.165"), requiring careful PCB layout verification. This part is appropriate for new designs where UL 10A rating is acceptable and where LCP material properties provide system benefits.

Compliance & Regulatory Status

Both substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance, REACH unaffected status, and UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ensuring regulatory equivalence with the original component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1757255 directly replace 1880313 without PCB modification?

A: No. The primary difference is termination style: 1880313 uses press-fit termination while 1757255 requires solder termination. PCB pad design and hole sizing must be modified accordingly. Electrical performance and mechanical fit are otherwise equivalent.

Q: What is the impact of housing material differences between these parts?

A: The main part (1880313) uses PBT, while 1757255 uses polyamide (PA/Nylon) and 1954922 uses LCP. All three materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Material selection affects thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical properties but does not impact electrical ratings or basic functionality for standard terminal block applications.

Q: Is Phoenix Contact 1954922 suitable for all applications using 1880313?

A: 1954922 is suitable only for applications where the UL current rating of 10A is acceptable. The original 1880313 is rated for 15A (UL), while 1954922 is rated for 10A (UL). IEC ratings remain equivalent at 12A. Verify application current requirements before selection.

Q: What are the implications of different contact tail lengths?

A: Contact tail length affects PCB hole depth and solder joint formation. The main part has 0.165" (4.19mm) tail length, 1757255 has 0.138" (4.60mm), and 1954922 has 0.102" (2.60mm). Shorter tail lengths require PCB design adjustment to ensure adequate solder coverage and mechanical support. Verify PCB thickness and hole specifications during design transition.

Q: Are both substitute parts currently available?

A: Yes. Phoenix Contact 1757255 is in active production with 9473 pcs in stock. Phoenix Contact 1954922 is also active with 1083 pcs in stock. The original 1880313 is obsolete but currently has 1083 pcs available as new original inventory.

Q: Do the substitute parts have different packaging options?

A: Both substitute parts are available in bulk packaging. Packaging specifications should be confirmed with the supplier for specific order requirements.
