Phoenix Contact 1899896 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1899896 is a 7-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on 4 sides, featuring 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch and 90° right-angle orientation for through-hole mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The part operates at 12A (IEC) / 15A (UL) and 400V (IEC) / 300V (UL), with press-fit termination and green polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1899896 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed IEC 12A / 400V and UL 15A / 300V specifications
• Physical Compatibility: 7 positions, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, 90° right-angle orientation, and through-hole mounting are mandatory
• Connector Type: Male pins with 4-side shrouding required
• Regulatory Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance required
• Termination Interface: Functional equivalence across press-fit and solder termination styles is acceptable for circuit-level substitution

The two identified substitutes (1755493 and 1836395) maintain electrical ratings, physical dimensions, connector configuration, and regulatory compliance while offering active product status and alternative termination methods.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1755493 is the primary active substitute for the 1899896. This part maintains identical electrical ratings (12A IEC / 15A UL, 400V IEC / 300V UL), physical dimensions, and connector configuration. The transition from press-fit to solder termination requires PCB design modification but provides equivalent circuit-level functionality. Housing material changes from PBT to polyamide (PA/nylon), and contact tail length reduces from 0.165" to 0.138", necessitating PCB footprint verification. ROHS3 compliance exceeds the original RoHS requirement. Active product status ensures long-term availability.

Phoenix Contact 1836395 serves as a secondary substitute with active product status and enhanced UL current rating (16A versus 15A). This part maintains 7-position configuration, 5.00mm pitch, and 90° orientation. Electrical compatibility is confirmed at UL 300V / 16A. Significant design considerations include housing material change to liquid crystal polymer (LCP), color change from green to black, and substantially reduced contact tail length (0.079" versus 0.165"), requiring comprehensive PCB footprint redesign. IEC voltage rating is not specified in available data.

Both substitutes meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and maintain through-hole mounting compatibility. Selection between 1755493 and 1836395 depends on PCB layout constraints, termination process capability, and material property requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1899896 be directly replaced with 1755493 or 1836395 without PCB modification?

A: Direct replacement without PCB modification is not possible. The 1899896 uses press-fit termination, while both substitutes employ solder termination. Additionally, contact tail lengths differ (1899896: 0.165", 1755493: 0.138", 1836395: 0.079"), requiring PCB footprint adjustment. Insulation heights are equivalent (approximately 0.339"), supporting mechanical compatibility.

Q: What are the key electrical differences between the substitutes?

A: Both substitutes maintain the 1899896 electrical specifications at IEC 12A / 400V and UL 15A / 300V. The 1836395 provides enhanced UL current capacity (16A). The 1836395 does not specify IEC voltage rating in available documentation.

Q: How do housing material changes affect component selection?

A: The 1899896 uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), 1755493 uses polyamide (PA/nylon), and 1836395 uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Material selection impacts thermal performance, chemical resistance, and mechanical properties. LCP (1836395) offers superior dimensional stability and higher temperature capability compared to PBT and PA. PA (1755493) provides cost efficiency and established reliability in industrial applications.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: All three parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements. The 1899896 carries RoHS Compliant status; 1755493 carries ROHS3 Compliant status (more stringent); 1836395 compliance status is not specified in available data. MSL ratings differ: 1899896 and 1755493 are MSL 1 (Unlimited), while 1836395 is Not Applicable.

Q: Which substitute is recommended for new designs?

A: For new designs, 1755493 is recommended as the primary choice due to active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and electrical equivalence to the original 1899896. The 1836395 is suitable where enhanced UL current rating (16A) and LCP material properties provide design advantages, provided PCB layout accommodates the significantly shorter contact tail length.
