Phoenix Contact 1900219 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1900219 is a 16-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on four 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 equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

The primary function of this terminal block header is to provide a standardized connection interface for 16 discrete signal or power lines in industrial control and automation applications. Substitution becomes necessary due to the obsolete product status, requiring engineers to select from active alternatives that maintain electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the Phoenix Contact 1900219 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• 16-position configuration
• 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing
• 90° right-angle header orientation
• Through-hole mounting technology
• Male pin, four-side shrouded design
• Electrical ratings: minimum 12A (IEC) / 15A (UL) and 300V (UL) / 400V (IEC)
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Tin contact mating finish

Secondary Considerations:

• Termination style (Press-Fit vs. Solder)
• Housing material composition
• Contact tail length variations
• Product status and compliance certifications

The identified substitute parts maintain the core electrical and mechanical interface specifications while differing in termination methodology, housing material, and contact tail geometry. These differences do not compromise functional interchangeability in standard through-hole PCB applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Active Production and New Designs:

Part 1776838 (COMBICON MSTB series) is the primary recommended substitute. This component maintains identical electrical specifications (12A IEC, 15A UL, 400V IEC, 300V UL), identical pitch and position configuration, and equivalent housing material (PBT). The transition from press-fit to solder termination requires PCB design modification but provides superior mechanical reliability in high-vibration environments. This part carries active product status and ROHS3 compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment.

Part 1836829 (COMBICON CC series) serves as a secondary alternative for applications where contact tail length reduction is acceptable. This component offers enhanced current capacity (16A UL) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C). The housing material transition to Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) provides improved thermal stability. However, the reduced IEC voltage rating (320V versus 400V) and shorter contact tail length (0.079" versus 0.165") require application-specific validation.

For Legacy System Maintenance:

When direct replacement of the obsolete 1900219 is required without PCB modification, part 1776838 provides the closest functional equivalence despite termination style differences. Inventory availability (1026 pcs in stock) supports immediate procurement requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 1776838 directly replace the 1900219 without PCB modification?

A: Part 1776838 maintains identical electrical and mechanical interface specifications (16 positions, 5.00mm pitch, 90° orientation, through-hole mounting). However, the termination style differs: 1776838 uses solder termination while 1900219 uses press-fit. Direct PCB substitution requires solder pad design compatible with the 0.138" (4.60mm) contact tail length of 1776838, compared to the 0.165" (4.19mm) tail of the original part.

Q: What are the electrical differences between the substitute parts?

A: Both 1776838 and 1836829 meet or exceed the IEC current specification (12A). Part 1836829 provides higher UL current capacity (16A versus 15A). The primary voltage difference occurs with 1836829, which carries a 320V IEC rating compared to 400V for both 1900219 and 1776838. Applications operating above 320V IEC require 1776838 for full compatibility.

Q: How do contact tail length variations affect PCB design?

A: Contact tail length determines the depth of solder penetration and mechanical engagement with PCB plated through-holes. The 1900219 features 0.165" (4.19mm) tails, 1776838 features 0.138" (4.60mm) tails, and 1836829 features 0.079" (2.00mm) tails. Shorter tail lengths reduce solder joint strength in high-stress applications and may require through-hole depth adjustment. PCB design validation is necessary when transitioning between parts with significantly different tail lengths.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Part 1776838 carries ROHS3 certification. Part 1900219 is RoHS Compliant. Part 1836829 does not specify RoHS status in the provided documentation. Applications requiring documented RoHS compliance should prioritize 1776838.

Q: What is the impact of housing material differences?

A: The 1900219 and 1776838 use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), while 1836829 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP). LCP provides superior thermal stability and dimensional consistency at elevated temperatures. PBT offers established reliability in standard industrial temperature ranges. Material selection should align with application thermal requirements and long-term reliability expectations.
