Phoenix Contact 1911017 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1911017 is a 2-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on all four sides, designed for 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch vertical through-hole mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing design support and procurement planning. The part operates at 8A (IEC/UL) and 250V (IEC) / 300V (UL), with UL94 V-0 flammability rating and ROHS3 compliance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1911017 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (8A IEC/UL), voltage rating (250V IEC / 300V UL), and contact mating finish (tin)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 2-position configuration, 0.138" (4.60mm) pitch, vertical orientation, through-hole mounting, and 4-side shrouded design
• Material & Compliance: PBT housing, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, ROHS3 compliance, and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level
• Functional Equivalence: Header type with male pins

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1843606 meets all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The primary difference is the termination style: the 1911017 uses press-fit termination, while the 1843606 uses solder termination. Both parts maintain identical pitch, position count, shrouding configuration, and electrical ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1843606 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1911017. Both components share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions (pitch, position count, orientation), and compliance certifications (ROHS3, UL94 V-0). The 1843606 is currently in active production status with significantly higher inventory availability (20,023 pcs vs. 758 pcs), ensuring long-term supply chain continuity.

The primary design consideration is termination method: the 1843606 requires solder attachment rather than press-fit. This substitution is valid for applications where PCB assembly processes support solder termination. The minor difference in contact tail length (0.150" vs. 0.134") reflects the different termination technologies and does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility within the specified pitch and shrouding parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1843606 directly replace the 1911017 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the PCB assembly process supports solder termination. Both parts maintain identical pitch (4.60mm), position count (2), shrouding configuration (4-side), and electrical ratings (8A, 250V IEC / 300V UL). The termination method difference (solder vs. press-fit) is the only design consideration.

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

A: The contact tail length difference (0.150" vs. 0.134") is a direct result of the different termination technologies. Press-fit contacts require longer tails for insertion into plated through-holes, while solder contacts are shorter. This does not affect compatibility when the appropriate PCB footprint is used for each termination style.

Q: Are both parts compliant with the same standards?

A: Yes. Both the 1911017 and 1843606 are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, and carry identical electrical certifications (8A IEC, 250V IEC, 8A UL, 300V UL). Both use tin contact mating finish and PBT housing material.

Q: Why is the 1911017 marked as obsolete?

A: The 1911017 is part of the COMBICON EMCV series, which has been superseded by the COMBICON MCV series (represented by the 1843606). Phoenix Contact has transitioned production to the newer series while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 1911017 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1843606 is supplied in bulk packaging. This reflects the active production status of the 1843606 and its availability for high-volume procurement.
