Phoenix Contact 1908884 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1908884 is a 3-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded design, and 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch in 90° right-angle through-hole configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, making equivalent substitute parts necessary for ongoing design support and procurement continuity. The part operates at 8A (IEC) / 8A (UL) and 250V (IEC) / 300V (UL), with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Phoenix Contact 1908884 are qualified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional and mechanical compatibility:

Core Compatibility Criteria:

• Number of positions: 3
• Pitch: 0.150" (3.81mm)
• Header orientation: 90°, Right Angle
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side)
• Termination style: Solder
• Mounting type: Through Hole
• Material flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• Contact mating finish: Tin

Electrical Performance Criteria:

• Current rating: minimum 8A (UL)
• Voltage rating: minimum 300V (UL)

Compliance Criteria:

• RoHS compliance (RoHS3 acceptable for active parts)
• MSL rating: 1 (Unlimited)

Substitute parts may vary in housing material composition, contact tail length, insulation height, and operating temperature range, provided all core compatibility and electrical criteria are met. Parts with enhanced electrical ratings (higher current or voltage) are acceptable substitutes.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Direct Replacement (Preferred): Phoenix Contact 1722163 is the direct manufacturer equivalent, maintaining the same series (COMBICON MC) and electrical specifications. This part is active and available, with RoHS3 compliance. The reduced contact tail length (0.102" vs. 0.134") and slightly lower insulation height require PCB layout verification but do not affect electrical performance.

Cross-Manufacturer Alternatives: Molex 0395166003, Weidmüller 1862840000, and Amphenol Anytek OQ0335510000G all meet core compatibility and electrical requirements. These parts are active and RoHS3 compliant. Weidmüller 1862840000 offers enhanced current rating (10A UL) and extended operating temperature range (-50°C to 120°C). Amphenol Anytek OQ0335510000G also provides 10A UL rating with extended temperature range (-40°C to 115°C).

Selection Basis:

• All substitute parts maintain identical pitch, position count, orientation, and shrouded male pin configuration
• All meet or exceed the original 8A (UL) / 300V (UL) electrical specification
• All maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 classification
• All are RoHS compliant (RoHS3 for active parts)
• Mechanical variations (contact tail length, insulation height) are within acceptable tolerance ranges for standard PCB through-hole mounting

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use Phoenix Contact 1722163 as a direct replacement for 1908884? A: Yes. Part 1722163 is the active equivalent from the same manufacturer and series. Verify PCB layout compatibility due to the reduced contact tail length (0.102" vs. 0.134").

Q: What is the difference between the substitute parts? A: All substitute parts share identical pitch (3.81mm), position count (3), orientation (90°), and shrouded male pin configuration. Differences include housing material composition, contact tail length, insulation height, and operating temperature range. Weidmüller 1862840000 and Amphenol Anytek OQ0335510000G provide higher current ratings (10A vs. 8A).

Q: Are there any compliance concerns with cross-manufacturer substitutes? A: No. All substitute parts are RoHS compliant and maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Molex 0395166003, Weidmüller 1862840000, and Amphenol Anytek OQ0335510000G are RoHS3 compliant, which is acceptable for active components.

Q: Does the contact tail length variation affect compatibility? A: Contact tail length variations (0.102" to 0.138") require PCB layout verification. Ensure solder pad depth and through-hole depth accommodate the specific tail length of the selected substitute part.

Q: Which substitute part has the best thermal performance? A: Weidmüller 1862840000 operates across the widest temperature range (-50°C to 120°C) and provides the highest current rating (17.5A IEC / 10A UL).

Q: Can I mix different substitute parts in the same assembly? A: All substitute parts are mechanically and electrically compatible. However, maintain consistent part sourcing within a single production batch to ensure uniform performance and traceability.

Q: What packaging options are available? A: Phoenix Contact 1722163 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Weidmüller 1862840000 is supplied in Tape & Reel (TR). Molex 0395166003 and Amphenol Anytek OQ0335510000G are supplied in Bulk packaging.
