Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1900206 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Matching Criteria:

• Number of positions: 15
• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Header orientation: 90°, Right Angle
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side)
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS compliance: Required

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Current rating (IEC): 12A minimum
• Voltage rating (IEC): 400V minimum
• Current rating (UL): 15A minimum
• Voltage rating (UL): 300V minimum

Acceptable Variations:

• Termination style: Press-fit or solder acceptable
• Housing material: PBT or Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Contact tail length: Variation acceptable within mechanical constraints
• Color: Green or black acceptable
• Series designation: Different series acceptable if electrical and mechanical parameters match

The identified substitutes (1776825 and 1836816) meet all primary matching criteria and electrical compatibility requirements, with documented variations in termination style, housing material, and color.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement (Preferred): Phoenix Contact 1776825 is the primary substitute for the 1900206. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (12A IEC, 400V IEC, 15A UL, 300V UL), matching pitch, orientation, and housing material (PBT). The primary difference is termination style (solder vs. press-fit). This part is currently active in production and maintains full RoHS compliance.

For Alternative Selection: Phoenix Contact 1836816 provides functional equivalence with enhanced electrical performance (16A UL rating) and improved operating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C). This part uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) housing and solder termination. The reduced IEC voltage rating (320V vs. 400V) and shorter contact tail length (0.079" vs. 0.165") require circuit design verification for specific applications. This part is active in production with full RoHS compliance.

Selection Basis: Both substitutes are active products from Phoenix Contact, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. Electrical compliance with IEC and UL standards is maintained across all options. Housing material and termination style differences are secondary considerations that depend on specific application requirements and PCB design constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1776825 directly replace the 1900206 in existing designs? A: Yes. The 1776825 maintains identical electrical ratings, pitch, orientation, and mechanical envelope. The termination style differs (solder vs. press-fit), requiring PCB pad design adjustment but no circuit-level changes.

Q: What is the primary difference between the 1776825 and 1836816 substitutes? A: The 1776825 uses PBT housing material and matches the original 400V IEC rating. The 1836816 uses LCP housing with a 320V IEC rating and includes an extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C). Contact tail length also differs significantly (0.138" vs. 0.079").

Q: Are both substitutes RoHS compliant? A: Yes. Both the 1776825 and 1836816 are RoHS compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: Does the color difference (green vs. black) affect electrical performance? A: No. Color is a cosmetic designation and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The 1836816 is available in black while the 1900206 and 1776825 are green.

Q: What PCB design changes are required when switching from press-fit (1900206) to solder termination (1776825 or 1836816)? A: Press-fit termination requires through-hole pads with specific diameter and plating specifications. Solder termination uses standard through-hole pads with solder mask openings. Consult PCB design guidelines for the specific termination style selected.

Q: Is the 1836816 suitable for applications requiring 400V IEC operation? A: No. The 1836816 is rated for 320V IEC maximum. Applications requiring 400V IEC operation must use the 1900206 or 1776825.

Q: What is the inventory status of these parts? A: The 1900206 (obsolete) has 1063 units in stock. The 1776825 (active) has 940 units in stock. The 1836816 (active) has 703 units in stock.
