Phoenix Contact 1900167 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1900167 is an 11-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded design, and 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch in 90° right-angle through-hole configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part operates at IEC ratings of 12A/400V and UL ratings of 15A/300V, with press-fit termination and green polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing rated UL94 V-0.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1900167 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: All substitutes must maintain 11 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch
• Header Type & Orientation: Male pins, shrouded (4 side), 90° right-angle configuration required
• Mounting Configuration: Through-hole mounting only
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum IEC 12A/400V and UL 15A/300V performance
• Flammability & Compliance: UL94 V-0 material rating and RoHS compliance required
• Contact Finish: Tin plating on mating surfaces

The two identified substitutes (1776786 and 1836777) meet these core functional and electrical requirements. Differences in termination style (press-fit vs. solder), housing material composition, color, and contact tail length represent secondary design variations that do not prevent functional equivalence within the specified parameter constraints.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1776786 is the primary substitute for the 1900167. Both parts maintain identical electrical ratings (IEC 12A/400V, UL 15A/300V), identical pitch and position configuration, and equivalent mechanical dimensions. The 1776786 is active in production status with ROHS3 compliance, providing superior long-term availability compared to the obsolete 1900167. The primary design difference is termination method: the 1776786 uses solder termination versus the 1900167's press-fit approach. This substitution is suitable for applications where PCB assembly processes accommodate solder-based connections.

Phoenix Contact 1836777 serves as a secondary substitute with active product status and enhanced current rating (UL 16A vs. 15A). This part uses solder termination and liquid crystal polymer (LCP) housing instead of PBT, with a reduced contact tail length (0.079" vs. 0.165"). The 1836777 operates at lower IEC voltage (320V vs. 400V), which may limit applicability in high-voltage IEC-rated systems. The black color and different housing material represent design variations that do not affect electrical function but may impact visual identification and thermal characteristics.

Both substitutes maintain the required 11-position, 5.00mm pitch, 90° right-angle header configuration with male pins and 4-side shrouding. Selection between 1776786 and 1836777 depends on specific voltage requirements, assembly process compatibility, and thermal environment specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1776786 directly replace the 1900167 in existing designs?

A: The 1776786 maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility with the 1900167 across all critical parameters: 11 positions, 5.00mm pitch, 90° orientation, and equivalent current/voltage ratings. The primary difference is termination method (solder vs. press-fit). Direct replacement is feasible if the PCB layout and assembly process accommodate solder termination instead of press-fit insertion.

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

A: Contact tail length (0.165" for 1900167, 0.138" for 1776786, 0.079" for 1836777) affects PCB hole depth requirements and insertion force characteristics. Shorter tail lengths reduce PCB penetration depth. Verify PCB design specifications to confirm compatibility with the substitute part's contact tail length.

Q: Why does the 1836777 have a lower IEC voltage rating (320V vs. 400V)?

A: The 1836777 uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP) housing material instead of PBT, which affects voltage withstand characteristics. For applications requiring IEC 400V operation, the 1776786 is the appropriate substitute. The 1836777 is suitable only for systems operating at or below 320V IEC rating.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 1900167 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1776786 is ROHS3 Compliant. RoHS status for the 1836777 is not specified in the provided data. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements with your procurement or quality assurance department before final part selection.

Q: What is the difference between press-fit and solder termination?

A: Press-fit termination (1900167) uses mechanical insertion into PCB holes without solder. Solder termination (1776786, 1836777) requires thermal reflow or wave soldering processes. Assembly method selection depends on manufacturing equipment, process capability, and design requirements.

Q: Can the 1836777 be used in applications rated for 400V IEC?

A: No. The 1836777 is rated for maximum 320V IEC operation. Use only the 1776786 or original 1900167 for applications requiring 400V IEC compliance.
