Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1880520 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 24
• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Header Orientation: 90°, Right Angle
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Current - IEC: 12A
• Voltage - IEC: 400V
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Contact Mating Finish: Tin

Allowable Variations:

• Termination Style: Press-Fit (original) may be substituted with Solder termination
• Housing Material: PBT (original) may be substituted with Polyamide (PA) or Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact Tail Length: Variations permitted within mechanical envelope constraints
• Insulation Height: Minor variations acceptable (within 0.01" tolerance)
• Product Status: Active products preferred over obsolete

The identified substitute parts (1757462 and 1827757) meet all mandatory matching parameters while offering active product status and alternative termination or housing material options.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1757462 (COMBICON MSTBA Series)

Part 1757462 is an active product offering direct functional equivalence to the obsolete 1880520. The primary difference is termination style: solder termination replaces press-fit. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (12A IEC, 400V IEC, 15A UL, 300V UL), 24-position configuration, and 5.08mm pitch. Housing material differs (Polyamide/Nylon versus PBT), but both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability compliance. Contact tail length is reduced (4.60mm versus 4.19mm), requiring PCB layout verification. This part carries ROHS3 compliance and is available in bulk packaging with 1039 units in stock.

Phoenix Contact 1827757 (COMBICON CCA Series)

Part 1827757 is an active product within the COMBICON CCA series, providing functional compatibility with reduced voltage rating. IEC voltage is 250V (versus 400V on the main part), making this substitute suitable only for applications operating at or below 250V. Current rating remains 12A (IEC). Solder termination is employed. Housing material is Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), maintaining UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Contact tail length is significantly reduced (2.60mm), requiring careful PCB design verification. This part is RoHS compliant and available with 701 units in stock.

Selection Criteria:

• For applications requiring 400V IEC operation: Phoenix Contact 1757462 is the appropriate substitute.
• For applications operating at 250V IEC or below: Phoenix Contact 1827757 is acceptable.
• Termination method change from press-fit to solder requires assembly process modification.
• Contact tail length reduction necessitates PCB footprint and clearance verification.
• Both substitute parts offer active product status, ensuring long-term availability and support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1757462 directly replace the 1880520 in existing designs?

A: Functional replacement is possible with design verification. The 1757462 maintains identical electrical ratings (12A IEC, 400V IEC, 15A UL, 300V UL) and 24-position 5.08mm pitch configuration. However, termination changes from press-fit to solder, and contact tail length reduces from 4.19mm to 4.60mm. PCB layout and assembly process modifications are required.

Q: What is the voltage limitation of Phoenix Contact 1827757?

A: The 1827757 operates at 250V (IEC), compared to 400V (IEC) on the original 1880520. This part is suitable only for applications with maximum operating voltage of 250V. Current rating remains 12A (IEC).

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Phoenix Contact 1757462 is ROHS3 compliant. Phoenix Contact 1827757 is RoHS compliant. Both meet regulatory requirements for restricted substance elimination.

Q: How do housing material differences affect performance?

A: The original 1880520 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Substitute 1757462 uses Polyamide (PA)/Nylon, and 1827757 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP). All three materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Material selection affects mechanical properties and environmental resistance; application-specific requirements determine suitability.

Q: What is the impact of reduced contact tail length on PCB design?

A: The 1880520 has 4.19mm contact tail length. Substitute 1757462 has 4.60mm, and 1827757 has 2.60mm. Reduced tail length requires verification of PCB hole depth, solder joint formation, and mechanical clearance. PCB footprint redesign may be necessary.

Q: Are moisture sensitivity levels equivalent across all three parts?

A: Yes. All three parts (1880520, 1757462, and 1827757) have Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity constraints during storage or handling.
