Phoenix Contact 1880478 Terminal Block Header – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1880478 is a 19-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 system maintenance. The part operates at 12A (IEC) / 15A (UL) and 400V (IEC) / 300V (UL), with press-fit termination and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Substitute parts must maintain electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and mounting characteristics while accommodating the transition from obsolete to active product lines.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1880478 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 19
• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Header Orientation: 90°, Right Angle
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Current Rating (IEC): 12A minimum
• Voltage Rating (IEC): 400V minimum
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Allowable Variations:

• Termination Style: Press-fit or Solder acceptable
• Housing Material: PBT, PA/Nylon, or LCP acceptable
• Contact Tail Length: Minor variations permitted within mechanical envelope
• Insulation Height: Minor variations permitted (±0.02")
• Product Status: Active substitutes preferred for obsolete parts
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 or RoHS Compliant acceptable

The two identified substitute parts (1757417 and 1827702) satisfy all mandatory parameters while offering active product status and improved long-term availability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Phoenix Contact 1757417

Part 1757417 is the preferred substitute for the obsolete 1880478. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (12A IEC, 400V IEC, 15A UL, 300V UL), identical pitch and position count, and equivalent mechanical form factor. The transition from press-fit to solder termination requires PCB design verification but does not affect electrical performance. Housing material change from PBT to PA/Nylon maintains UL94 V-0 compliance. Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity. RoHS3 compliance exceeds the original RoHS requirement.

Secondary Substitute: Phoenix Contact 1827702

Part 1827702 serves as an alternative substitute with identical position count, pitch, and mechanical orientation. This part maintains 12A IEC current rating and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The voltage rating reduction to 250V IEC (versus 400V IEC on the main part) represents a design constraint that must be evaluated against system requirements. Solder termination applies. LCP housing material provides enhanced thermal and chemical resistance compared to PBT. Active product status and RoHS compliance are confirmed. Selection of 1827702 is appropriate only when system voltage requirements do not exceed 250V IEC.

Selection Criteria:

• If system operates at or below 250V IEC: Either 1757417 or 1827702 acceptable
• If system requires 400V IEC: 1757417 is the only suitable substitute
• If PCB design accommodates solder termination: Both substitutes are compatible
• If press-fit termination is mandatory: Neither substitute is compatible; alternative sourcing required

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1757417 directly replace 1880478 on existing PCBs?

A: Direct replacement requires PCB design modification. The main part uses press-fit termination; 1757417 uses solder termination. PCB pad design, hole sizing, and assembly process must be updated accordingly. Mechanical envelope and electrical performance are compatible.

Q: What is the voltage limitation of Phoenix Contact 1827702?

A: Part 1827702 is rated for 250V IEC maximum, compared to 400V IEC for the main part 1880478. Selection of 1827702 is restricted to applications where system voltage does not exceed 250V IEC. Verify system voltage requirements before substitution.

Q: Are the housing material differences between substitutes significant?

A: Housing materials differ (PBT original, PA/Nylon for 1757417, LCP for 1827702) but all maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Material selection affects thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical properties. For standard industrial applications, all three materials are functionally equivalent. Specialized environments (high temperature, chemical exposure) may require material-specific evaluation.

Q: Do both substitutes maintain the same pitch and position count?

A: Yes. Both 1757417 and 1827702 maintain 19 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch with 90° right-angle orientation. Mechanical compatibility with mating connectors is preserved.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: Both designations indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 (applied to 1757417) represents the current regulatory standard. RoHS Compliant (applied to 1880478 and 1827702) indicates compliance with earlier or equivalent standards. Both are acceptable for procurement purposes.

Q: Can I use 1827702 if my system voltage is 300V?

A: No. The 1827702 is rated for 250V IEC maximum. A 300V system exceeds this rating. Use 1757417, which is rated for 400V IEC.

Q: Are contact tail length differences critical for PCB compatibility?

A: Contact tail length varies: 0.165" (4.19mm) for 1880478, 0.138" (4.60mm) for 1757417, and 0.102" (2.60mm) for 1827702. These differences affect PCB hole depth and solder joint formation. Verify PCB design accommodates the substitute part's tail length before assembly.
