Phoenix Contact 1880384 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1880384 is a 10-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on four sides, featuring 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and 90° right-angle through-hole mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing procurement and design continuity. The COMBICON EMSTBA series part utilizes press-fit termination and is suitable for applications requiring 12A (IEC) or 15A (UL) current handling at 400V (IEC) or 300V (UL).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1880384 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: All substitute parts maintain 10 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch
• Header Type & Orientation: All substitutes are male pin headers with 90° right-angle through-hole mounting and 4-side shrouding
• Electrical Ratings: All substitutes meet or exceed the 12A (IEC) / 15A (UL) current and 400V (IEC) / 300V (UL) voltage requirements
• Flammability & Compliance: All substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 rating and RoHS compliance

The identified substitute parts (1757323 and 1955002) are functionally equivalent based on these core parameters. Differences in termination style (press-fit vs. solder), housing material, contact tail length, and product status are secondary considerations that do not affect core electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1757323 (COMBICON MSTBA Series)

This substitute is the closest functional equivalent to the 1880384. It maintains identical electrical ratings (12A IEC, 15A UL) and mechanical dimensions (10 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 90° right angle). The primary difference is termination style: solder-based rather than press-fit. The part is active and carries ROHS3 compliance, providing superior long-term availability compared to the obsolete main part. Housing material is polyamide (PA/nylon) rather than PBT, and contact tail length is slightly shorter (0.138" vs. 0.165"). This part is suitable for applications where solder termination is acceptable.

1955002 (COMBICON CCA Series)

This substitute meets core electrical and mechanical requirements with identical pitch, position count, and orientation. It carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The UL current rating is reduced to 10A (versus 15A for the main part and 1757323), which may be a limiting factor for applications requiring full 15A UL capacity. Housing material is liquid crystal polymer (LCP), and contact tail length is the shortest of the three parts (0.102"). This part is suitable for applications within its 10A UL current specification and where solder termination is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1757323 or 1955002 be used as direct replacements for 1880384?

A: Both parts are functionally equivalent based on core electrical and mechanical parameters: 10 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 90° right-angle through-hole mounting, and 4-side shrouding. The primary design consideration is termination method: the original part uses press-fit termination, while both substitutes use solder termination. PCB layout and assembly process must accommodate this difference.

Q: What is the difference in current rating between 1955002 and the other parts?

A: The 1955002 has a UL current rating of 10A, compared to 15A for both the 1880384 and 1757323. For applications requiring the full 15A UL capacity, 1757323 is the appropriate choice. The IEC rating remains 12A across all three parts.

Q: How do housing material differences affect part selection?

A: The three parts use different housing materials: PBT (1880384), polyamide/nylon (1757323), and liquid crystal polymer (1955002). All maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Material selection should be based on thermal environment, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress requirements specific to the application.

Q: Are there PCB layout considerations due to contact tail length differences?

A: Yes. Contact tail lengths vary: 0.165" (1880384), 0.138" (1757323), and 0.102" (1955002). PCB hole depth and solder pad design must accommodate the specific contact tail length of the selected part. Shorter tail lengths (1955002) may require modified PCB layout compared to the original design.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best long-term availability?

A: Both 1757323 and 1955002 carry active product status, providing superior availability compared to the obsolete 1880384. Current inventory levels are 4463 units (1757323) and 896 units (1955002), indicating 1757323 has higher stock availability.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1880384 is RoHS Compliant. Both 1757323 and 1955002 are ROHS3 Compliant, representing the current RoHS standard. All parts meet regulatory compliance requirements.
