Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1896983 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility:

• Current rating: 8A (IEC and UL)
• Voltage rating: 250V (IEC) / 300V (UL)
• Contact mating finish: Tin

Mechanical Compatibility:

• Number of positions: 6
• Pitch: 0.150" (3.81mm)
• Header orientation: 90°, Right Angle
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side)
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Housing material: Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT)
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0

Regulatory Compliance:

• RoHS3 Compliant
• REACH Unaffected

The substitute part 1827907 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is the termination style (solder vs. press-fit) and minor dimensional variations in contact tail length and insulation height, which do not affect functional compatibility in equivalent applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1827907 is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1896983 in applications requiring 6-position, 3.81mm pitch terminal block headers with 90° right-angle through-hole mounting. Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications (8A/250V IEC, 8A/300V UL) and share the same housing material and flammability rating (UL94 V-0).

The 1827907 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current regulatory requirements.

The primary design consideration is termination method: the 1896983 uses press-fit termination, while the 1827907 uses solder termination. This difference requires evaluation based on PCB design and assembly process capabilities. The 1827907 includes both mating and mounting flanges compared to the mating flange only on the 1896983, providing enhanced mechanical stability.

Minor dimensional differences in contact tail length (0.138" vs. 0.134") and insulation height (0.276" vs. 0.285") are within acceptable tolerances for equivalent applications and do not affect functional compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1827907 directly replace the 1896983 on existing PCBs?

A: Functional replacement is possible with design review. The primary consideration is termination method: the 1896983 requires press-fit assembly, while the 1827907 requires solder assembly. PCB pad design and assembly process must accommodate the solder termination approach. Minor dimensional variations in contact tail length and insulation height are compatible with standard through-hole mounting practices.

Q: What are the key electrical compatibility factors?

A: Both parts operate at identical current and voltage ratings (8A/250V IEC, 8A/300V UL) with tin-plated contacts. Electrical performance is equivalent across all specified operating parameters.

Q: Are there supply chain advantages to using the 1827907?

A: Yes. The 1827907 is in active production status, whereas the 1896983 is obsolete. The 1827907 provides assured long-term availability and supply continuity for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 1896983 and 1827907 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the additional mounting flange on the 1827907?

A: The 1827907 includes both mating and mounting flanges, compared to mating flange only on the 1896983. This provides enhanced mechanical stability and alignment during assembly and operation.
