Phoenix Contact 1880397 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1880397 is an 11-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 equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The part operates at IEC ratings of 12A/400V and UL ratings of 15A/300V, with press-fit termination and tin contact mating finish.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1880397 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: All substitute parts must maintain 11 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with mating connectors.
• Header Configuration: Shrouded (4-side) male pin headers with 90° right-angle through-hole mounting are required to match the original form factor.
• Electrical Ratings: Substitute parts must meet or exceed IEC 12A/400V and UL 15A/300V specifications.
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 material rating is mandatory for safety-critical applications.
• Mounting Type: Through-hole mounting is non-negotiable for PCB integration.

The two identified substitute parts (1757336 and 1955015) satisfy these core requirements while differing in termination style, housing material, and product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1757336 is the primary substitute for the 1880397. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (IEC 12A/400V, UL 15A/300V), mechanical configuration, and insulation height. The 1757336 is currently active in production and maintains ROHS3 compliance. The primary difference is termination style: the 1757336 uses solder termination versus the original press-fit design. Housing material differs (Polyamide/Nylon versus PBT), and contact tail length is slightly shorter (0.138" versus 0.165"). These differences do not affect functional compatibility in standard through-hole PCB applications.

Phoenix Contact 1955015 serves as a secondary substitute with full electrical compatibility at IEC ratings (12A/400V) but reduced UL current rating (10A versus 15A). This part is active in production and RoHS compliant. The 1955015 features Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) housing material and the shortest contact tail length (0.102"). The reduced UL current rating and different housing material make this option suitable only for applications where UL 10A/300V specifications are acceptable. The black color distinguishes this part visually from the original green housing.

Both substitute parts maintain the critical 11-position, 5.08mm pitch, 90° right-angle, shrouded male pin header configuration required for mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1757336 directly replace the 1880397 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the 1757336 is mechanically and electrically compatible. The primary design consideration is termination method: the 1757336 requires solder attachment to PCB pads, whereas the original 1880397 uses press-fit termination. PCB pad design must accommodate solder termination. Contact tail length is slightly shorter (0.138" versus 0.165"), which does not affect standard through-hole mounting.

Q: What is the key difference between the 1757336 and 1955015 substitutes?

A: The 1757336 maintains the original UL current rating of 15A, while the 1955015 is rated for 10A under UL specifications. Both meet IEC 12A/400V requirements. Housing materials differ: 1757336 uses Polyamide/Nylon, while 1955015 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer. Contact tail lengths also differ (0.138" versus 0.102"). Select the 1955015 only if your application operates within 10A UL limits.

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

A: The 1757336 carries ROHS3 compliance, while both the original 1880397 and 1955015 are RoHS compliant. All three parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity. The 1757336 includes REACH Unaffected status. For applications requiring specific regulatory compliance, verify requirements against the substitute part's certification documentation.

Q: Does the housing material change affect electrical performance?

A: No. All three parts (PBT, Polyamide/Nylon, and LCP) are rated UL94 V-0 and maintain identical electrical specifications at their respective current ratings. Housing material selection is driven by thermal, mechanical, and environmental requirements specific to the application. Verify material compatibility with your operating environment.

Q: Why is the 1880397 obsolete if suitable substitutes exist?

A: The 1880397 uses press-fit termination technology, which has been superseded by solder termination in modern production. Both substitute parts employ solder attachment, reflecting current manufacturing standards. Active production of the 1757336 and 1955015 ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
