Phoenix Contact 1880407 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1880407 is a 12-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on four sides, featuring 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch and 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 solder termination and UL94 V-0 flammability compliance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Phoenix Contact 1880407 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

• Position Count & Pitch: All substitutes maintain 12 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch
• Header Type & Orientation: All substitutes are male pin headers with 90° right-angle through-hole mounting and four-side shrouding
• Electrical Ratings: All substitutes meet or exceed IEC 12A/400V and UL 15A/300V specifications
• Termination & Mounting: All substitutes use solder termination with through-hole PCB mounting
• Compliance: All substitutes maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance

The identified substitutes differ in housing material composition, contact tail length, and product status (active vs. obsolete), but maintain electrical and mechanical interchangeability within the specified parameter envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1757349 is the primary substitute for the obsolete 1880407. Both parts share identical electrical specifications (IEC 12A/400V, UL 15A/300V), mechanical configuration, and compliance certifications. The 1757349 is currently in active production status with higher inventory availability (1858 pcs vs. 781 pcs). The housing material differs (Polyamide vs. PBT), and contact tail length is slightly shorter (0.138" vs. 0.165"), but these variations remain within acceptable mechanical tolerances for standard through-hole PCB applications. ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating are maintained.

Phoenix Contact 1955028 serves as a secondary substitute with active product status and adequate inventory (725 pcs). This part maintains IEC electrical specifications (12A/400V) but operates at reduced UL current rating (10A vs. 15A). The housing material is Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), offering enhanced thermal and chemical resistance. Contact tail length is significantly shorter (0.102" vs. 0.165"), requiring verification of PCB pad depth compatibility. ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating are maintained. Selection of this part is appropriate only when UL 10A current rating is sufficient for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1757349 be used as a direct replacement for 1880407?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (IEC 12A/400V, UL 15A/300V), 12-position configuration at 5.08mm pitch, right-angle through-hole mounting, and UL94 V-0 compliance. The 1757349 is currently in active production, addressing the obsolescence of the 1880407.

Q: What is the significance of the different housing materials?

A: The 1880407 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), while the 1757349 uses Polyamide (PA/Nylon), and the 1955028 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP). All three materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. Material selection affects thermal stability and chemical resistance but does not impact electrical performance for standard terminal block applications.

Q: Does the shorter contact tail length of substitute parts affect PCB compatibility?

A: Contact tail length varies: 1880407 (0.165"), 1757349 (0.138"), and 1955028 (0.102"). Shorter tail lengths require verification that PCB pad depth and solder joint geometry remain within acceptable limits. Standard through-hole PCB designs typically accommodate this variation without modification.

Q: Why does the 1955028 have a lower UL current rating?

A: The 1955028 is rated at UL 10A versus UL 15A for the 1880407 and 1757349. This difference reflects the electrical characteristics of the Liquid Crystal Polymer housing material used in the 1955028 series. Selection of the 1955028 is appropriate only when application current requirements do not exceed 10A per UL standards.

Q: Are all three parts ROHS3 compliant?

A: Yes. The 1880407, 1757349, and 1955028 are all ROHS3 compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions during storage and handling.
