Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1890976 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position count and pitch: Must be 3 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing
• Mating orientation: Must be horizontal with board configuration
• Mounting method: Must be through-hole PCB mounting
• Wire termination: Must use screw-based rising cage clamp mechanism
• Voltage and current ratings: Substitute must meet or exceed 300 V and 20 A specifications
• Wire gauge compatibility: Acceptable range 12-30 AWG (substitutes may have narrower ranges)
• Regulatory compliance: Must maintain ROHS3 and REACH compliance status
• Screw specification: M3 thread standard

The Amphenol Anytek VI0301550000G qualifies as a substitute based on matching position count, pitch, orientation, mounting type, termination method, voltage rating, and regulatory compliance. Minor variations in current rating (16 A vs. 20 A) and wire gauge range (12-28 AWG vs. 12-30 AWG) represent acceptable tolerance within terminal block design standards.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1890976 and Amphenol Anytek VI0301550000G maintain active product status and full regulatory compliance under ROHS3 and REACH standards. Selection between these components should be based on application-specific current requirements. The Phoenix Contact part supports 20 A continuous current, while the Amphenol Anytek substitute is rated for 16 A. Applications requiring the full 20 A capacity must use the Phoenix Contact 1890976. Applications operating at or below 16 A may use either component. Wire gauge compatibility should be verified against specific conductor sizes in the application; the Phoenix Contact part accommodates 12-30 AWG while the Amphenol Anytek part accommodates 12-28 AWG.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol Anytek VI0301550000G replace the Phoenix Contact 1890976 in all applications?

A: Substitution is valid only when application current requirements do not exceed 16 A. If the circuit requires the full 20 A rating of the Phoenix Contact part, substitution is not appropriate.

Q: Are there mechanical compatibility concerns between these two parts?

A: Both parts share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (3), mating orientation (horizontal with board), and mounting method (through-hole). Mechanical interchangeability is confirmed for PCB layout purposes.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge range difference?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1890976 accepts 12-30 AWG conductors, while the Amphenol Anytek VI0301550000G accepts 12-28 AWG. If the application uses 29 or 30 AWG wire, only the Phoenix Contact part is suitable.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting identical regulatory requirements for industrial and commercial applications.

Q: What is the difference in screw torque specifications?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1890976 specifies 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In) torque, while the Amphenol Anytek VI0301550000G specifies 0.4 Nm (4.6 Lb-In). Installation procedures must follow the torque specification of the selected component.
