Phoenix Contact 1899841 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1899841 is a 2-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded design, and 90° right-angle orientation. This component features 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing and press-fit termination for through-hole mounting. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute components essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1899841 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (IEC: 12A minimum), voltage rating (IEC: 400V minimum or UL: 300V minimum)
• Physical Compatibility: 2 positions, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, 90° right-angle orientation, through-hole mounting
• Mechanical Compatibility: Male pins with shrouded (4-side) design, header type configuration
• Material & Safety: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance

The identified substitute parts maintain these core parameters while differing in termination style (solder vs. press-fit), housing material composition, and product status (active vs. obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1757475 is the primary substitute for the 1899841. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (12A IEC, 400V IEC, 15A UL, 300V UL), physical configuration (2 positions, 5.00mm pitch, 90° orientation), and safety compliance (UL94 V-0). The 1757475 is currently active in production, addressing the obsolescence status of the original part. The primary difference is termination style: the 1757475 uses solder termination instead of press-fit. Housing material differs (Polyamide/Nylon vs. PBT), but both maintain equivalent mechanical and thermal properties for this application class. The contact tail length is slightly shorter (0.138" vs. 0.165"), which may require PCB layout verification.

Phoenix Contact 1836340 is a secondary substitute option. This part maintains the core 2-position, 5.00mm pitch, 90° right-angle configuration with male pins and shrouded design. However, the IEC voltage rating is reduced to 320V (compared to 400V for the main part), and UL ratings are not specified. The housing material and flammability rating are not documented. The 1836340 is active in production and RoHS3 compliant. Selection of this part requires confirmation that the 320V IEC rating is acceptable for the intended application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1757475 directly replace the 1899841 in existing designs?

A: The 1757475 maintains electrical and physical compatibility with the 1899841. The primary consideration is termination method: the 1899841 uses press-fit termination while the 1757475 uses solder termination. PCB design must accommodate solder-based assembly. The contact tail length differs by 0.027" (0.69mm), requiring verification that PCB pad spacing and hole sizing remain compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the housing material difference between 1899841 (PBT) and 1757475 (Polyamide/Nylon)?

A: Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for terminal block applications. Polyamide/Nylon offers slightly different thermal and mechanical properties but maintains equivalent performance for standard industrial applications. Material selection should be confirmed against specific environmental and thermal requirements of the end application.

Q: Why is the 1836340 listed as a secondary substitute despite lower voltage rating?

A: The 1836340 maintains the core mechanical and electrical configuration (2 positions, 5.00mm pitch, 12A IEC current). However, the IEC voltage rating of 320V is lower than the original 400V specification. This part is suitable only for applications where the 320V rating is acceptable. UL ratings are not specified for this part, requiring additional verification for UL-regulated applications.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1899841 is RoHS Compliant. Both substitute parts (1757475 and 1836340) are ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements.

Q: What inventory status should influence part selection?

A: The 1757475 has the highest inventory availability (4892 pcs), followed by the 1836340 (1051 pcs). The original 1899841 remains in stock (993 pcs) but is obsolete. For long-term design continuity, selection of an active production part (1757475 or 1836340) is recommended.
