Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1882379 can be substituted with part number 1777723 based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Matching Parameters (Substitution Basis):

• Identical pitch: 0.300" (7.62mm)
• Identical connector type: 2-position plug with female sockets
• Identical wire entry orientation: 180° free-hanging in-line
• Identical termination method: Screw-type rising cage clamp
• Identical housing material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Identical screw size: M3
• Identical voltage rating: 1 kV (IEC)
• Identical series: COMBICON PC
• Identical contact mating finish: Tin

Differing Parameters (Functional Upgrades):

• Current rating increased from 20A to 41A (IEC)
• Wire gauge range expanded from 10-30 AWG to 8-24 AWG
• Wire gauge range expanded from 0.2-4mm² to 0.2-10mm²
• Product status changed from obsolete to active
• Additional feature: Retention latches (non-wire side)

The 1777723 represents an active, higher-capacity variant within the same COMBICON PC series, maintaining mechanical and electrical compatibility while providing enhanced current handling capability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1777723 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 1882379. Selection of the 1777723 is supported by the following engineering factors:

Compliance & Certification: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and meet RoHS requirements (1777723 meets ROHS3, the current standard). Both are REACH unaffected and carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, ensuring regulatory continuity.

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch (7.62mm), connector geometry, screw size (M3), and mounting configuration ensure direct mechanical interchangeability in existing PCB layouts and connector housings.

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts operate at 1 kV (IEC) and 600V (UL). The 1777723 provides increased current capacity (41A vs. 20A), which is a non-limiting upgrade for applications originally designed for the 1882379.

Termination Compatibility: Identical screw-type rising cage clamp termination and M3 screw specifications ensure identical installation procedures and tooling requirements.

Active Product Status: The 1777723 is an active product with confirmed inventory availability (2948 pcs), eliminating supply chain risk associated with the obsolete 1882379.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1777723 be used as a direct replacement for the 1882379 in existing designs?

A: Yes. The 1777723 maintains identical mechanical pitch (7.62mm), connector type, wire entry orientation (180°), termination method (screw-type rising cage clamp), and electrical ratings (1 kV). It is mechanically and electrically compatible with existing 1882379 applications.

Q: What is the difference in current rating between these parts?

A: The 1882379 is rated for 20A (IEC), while the 1777723 is rated for 41A (IEC). The 1777723 provides higher current capacity, making it suitable for applications requiring increased power handling without design modification.

Q: Are there wire gauge compatibility differences?

A: The 1882379 accepts 10-30 AWG (0.2-4mm²), while the 1777723 accepts 8-24 AWG (0.2-10mm²). The 1777723 supports larger wire gauges up to 8 AWG and accommodates wire cross-sections up to 10mm². For applications using the original 1882379 wire gauge range, the 1777723 is fully compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the retention latches feature on the 1777723?

A: The 1777723 includes retention latches on the non-wire side, providing additional mechanical security for the mated connector pair. This is an enhancement feature that does not affect compatibility with existing connector housings.

Q: Are the screw torque specifications different?

A: The 1882379 specifies 0.5-0.6 Nm torque, while the 1777723 specifies 0.5-0.8 Nm. Both use M3 screws. The expanded torque range on the 1777723 accommodates higher current applications but remains compatible with the original torque specification range.

Q: What is the packaging difference?

A: The 1882379 was supplied with unspecified packaging, while the 1777723 is supplied in bulk packaging. This affects procurement and inventory management but does not affect component functionality.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1882379 is RoHS compliant, and the 1777723 is ROHS3 compliant (the current RoHS standard). Both meet regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.
