Phoenix Contact 1897076 Terminal Block Header – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1897076 is a 15-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on four sides, designed for 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch right-angle through-hole mounting. This component is part of the COMBICON EMC series and carries an obsolete product status. Due to its obsolescence, identifying functionally equivalent substitute parts is essential for design continuity and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1897076 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 15 positions at 0.150" (3.81mm) spacing
• Connector Type & Orientation: Male pins, shrouded (4 side), 90° right-angle configuration
• Electrical Ratings: 8A (IEC/UL), 250V (IEC), 300V (UL)
• Mounting Method: Through-hole termination
• Housing Material & Flammability: PBT with UL94 V-0 rating
• Contact Finish: Tin plating

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1827994 meets all these core parameters. The primary differences are 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 1827994 is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1897076. Both components share identical electrical ratings, connector geometry, and housing specifications. The 1827994 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability.

The primary design consideration is termination method: the 1897076 uses press-fit termination, while the 1827994 requires solder termination. This difference necessitates PCB design modification if transitioning between these parts. The 1827994 also carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, providing enhanced regulatory alignment for current manufacturing standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1827994 directly replace the 1897076 without PCB modification?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is maintained. However, the termination method differs (solder vs. press-fit), requiring PCB pad design adjustment. Mounting hole spacing and connector orientation remain identical.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 8A (IEC/UL), 250V (IEC), and 300V (UL). Flammability, housing material, and contact finish specifications are equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the contact tail length difference?

A: The 1827994 has a 0.004" (0.10mm) shorter contact tail (3.40mm vs. 4.60mm). This minor variation is within typical manufacturing tolerance and does not affect functional performance in standard through-hole applications.

Q: Why is the 1897076 marked as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence reflects Phoenix Contact's product lifecycle management. The 1827994 represents the current active equivalent within the COMBICON series, ensuring continued support and availability.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: The 1897076 is RoHS Compliant. The 1827994 is ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Unaffected, reflecting updated regulatory requirements. Both maintain UL94 V-0 flammability certification.
