Phoenix Contact 1897089 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1897089 is a 16-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded design, and 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch configured for 90° right-angle through-hole mounting. This component is part of the COMBICON EMC series and carries an obsolete product status. The part operates at 8A (IEC/UL) and 250V (IEC) / 300V (UL) ratings with UL94 V-0 flammability compliance.

Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts with matching electrical and mechanical specifications is essential for design continuity and procurement planning.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1897089 is determined by strict alignment of the following parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (8A minimum), voltage rating (250V IEC / 300V UL minimum), and contact mating finish (tin)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 16-position count, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, 90° right-angle orientation, male pin configuration, and shrouded (4-side) design
• Mounting Compatibility: Through-hole termination method and mounting type
• Material & Compliance: PBT housing, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and RoHS compliance

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1828003 meets all these criteria while differing only in termination style (solder vs. press-fit), series designation (COMBICON MC vs. COMBICON EMC), and minor dimensional variations within acceptable tolerances.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1828003 is a direct functional equivalent to the 1897089 for applications requiring a 16-position, 3.81mm-pitch terminal block header with 90° right-angle through-hole mounting.

Primary Advantage: The 1828003 carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (8A, 250V IEC, 300V UL) and material specifications (PBT housing, UL94 V-0).

Termination Consideration: The 1897089 uses press-fit termination, while the 1828003 uses solder termination. This difference requires PCB design adjustment but does not affect electrical or mechanical performance within the specified parameters.

Compliance Status: The 1828003 meets ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment. Both parts are MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level), suitable for standard storage and handling conditions.

Dimensional Tolerance: Contact tail length and insulation height differences (0.004" and 0.009" respectively) fall within standard manufacturing tolerances and do not impact functional compatibility in standard through-hole PCB applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1828003 directly replace the 1897089 in existing designs?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters. PCB design modification is required only if the termination method change (press-fit to solder) necessitates different pad layout. Dimensional variations are within acceptable tolerances for standard through-hole applications.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The 1897089 uses press-fit termination for direct PCB insertion, while the 1828003 requires solder attachment. Both maintain identical position count, pitch, voltage/current ratings, and housing material specifications.

Q: Why is the 1897089 listed as obsolete?

A: Product status reflects Phoenix Contact's current manufacturing and support decisions. The 1828003, as an active product, represents the current equivalent offering within the COMBICON terminal block family.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS standards. The 1828003 carries ROHS3 certification, representing alignment with current regulatory frameworks. Both maintain MSL 1 rating for moisture sensitivity.

Q: What packaging considerations apply to the 1828003?

A: The 1828003 is supplied in bulk packaging, compared to the 1897089's standard packaging. Verify bulk quantity requirements align with procurement and inventory management procedures.
