Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for terminal block headers is determined by strict equivalence across electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish functional interchangeability:

Critical Parameters for Substitution:

• Number of positions: 4
• Pitch spacing: 0.150" (3.81mm)
• Header orientation: 90° right angle
• Connector type: Male pins, shrouded (4 side)
• Mounting method: Through hole
• Current rating: 8A (IEC and UL)
• Voltage rating: 250V (IEC) and 300V (UL)
• Housing material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0

The substitute part 1827884 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Differences in termination style (solder vs. press-fit), series designation (COMBICON MC vs. COMBICON EMC), and minor dimensional variations in contact tail length and insulation height do not affect functional equivalence for applications requiring these core specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1827884 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1896967. Both components share identical electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, and housing material specifications. The 1827884 maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

The primary distinction between these parts is termination methodology: the 1896967 uses press-fit termination while the 1827884 employs solder termination. This difference requires PCB design accommodation but does not affect electrical performance or connector interface compatibility. Minor dimensional variations in contact tail length (0.004" difference) and insulation height (0.009" difference) are within acceptable tolerances for standard through-hole mounting applications.

Selection of the 1827884 is appropriate for new designs and ongoing production where component continuity is required. The active product status and enhanced compliance certification provide superior supply chain stability compared to the obsolete 1896967.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1827884 directly replace the 1896967 in existing designs?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters. PCB design modification is necessary to accommodate the solder termination method of the 1827884 in place of the press-fit configuration of the 1896967. Pad layout and hole sizing must be adjusted accordingly.

Q: What is the significance of the termination style difference?

A: Press-fit termination (1896967) requires precision-drilled holes with specific tolerances for mechanical insertion. Solder termination (1827884) uses standard through-hole pads with solder reflow processing. Both methods achieve equivalent electrical connection reliability when properly implemented.

Q: Are there compliance differences between these parts?

A: The 1896967 carries RoHS Compliant certification. The 1827884 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, representing an updated regulatory standard. Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate within identical electrical specifications.

Q: What is the inventory status for each part?

A: The 1896967 (obsolete) has 913 pieces in stock. The 1827884 (active) has 2200 pieces in stock. The active status of the 1827884 ensures continued availability for future procurement cycles.

Q: Do the dimensional differences affect PCB layout?

A: The contact tail length difference (0.004") and insulation height difference (0.009") are minor and do not affect standard through-hole mounting. PCB footprint design should accommodate the solder termination method of the 1827884 rather than the press-fit method of the 1896967.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same voltage and current applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are rated for 8A (IEC/UL) and 250V (IEC) / 300V (UL). Electrical performance and safety margins are equivalent across all specified operating conditions.
