Phoenix Contact 1911855 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1911855 is a 2-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 5mm pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This component features screw-type rising cage clamp termination and is rated for 16A at 630V (IEC) or 16A at 300V (UL). The part is currently active in production and widely stocked, with 674 units available in inventory. Alternative equivalent parts are necessary when supply constraints occur, when specific manufacturing certifications are required, or when design specifications allow for compatible substitutes meeting the same electrical and mechanical requirements.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1911855 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of positions: 2
• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Type: Plug with female sockets
• Mounting type: Free hanging (in-line)
• Termination style: Screw-based cage clamp
• Wire gauge compatibility: 12-30 AWG minimum
• Voltage rating: Minimum 300V (UL)
• Material flammability: UL94 V-0
• Insulation height: 0.591" (15.00mm)

Acceptable Variation Parameters:

• Current rating: May exceed 16A
• Operating temperature range: May be specified when not provided in main part
• Wire strip length: Minor variations acceptable (6.5-8mm range)
• Contact mating finish: Tin or equivalent
• Housing material: Polyamide variants (PA, PA66, Nylon)

The two substitute parts listed below meet all mandatory parameters and are therefore direct functional equivalents for the Phoenix Contact 1911855.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

All three parts—Phoenix Contact 1911855, Molex 0395205002, and On Shore Technology OSTTJ027150—are active products with equivalent functional specifications for 2-position, 5mm pitch terminal block plug applications.

Phoenix Contact 1911855: Primary choice when ROHS3 compliance documentation is required and IEC current rating (16A at 630V) is specified in design requirements. Lowest current inventory availability (674 units).

Molex 0395205002: Suitable substitute with higher current capacity (18A UL rating) and defined operating temperature range (-40°C to 115°C). Highest inventory availability (6278 units). Torque specification (0.56 Nm) falls within the Phoenix Contact tolerance band. ROHS3 compliance status not specified in available data.

On Shore Technology OSTTJ027150: Suitable substitute with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Defined operating temperature range (-40°C to 115°C). Highest inventory availability (11166 units). Wire gauge range extends to 0.34mm² minimum. Torque specification (0.56 Nm) compatible with Phoenix Contact range.

Selection between substitutes depends on supply availability, compliance documentation requirements, and specific design operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0395205002 directly replace Phoenix Contact 1911855 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (5mm), position count (2), mounting type (free hanging in-line), voltage rating (300V UL), wire gauge range (12-30 AWG), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). The Molex part has higher current capacity (18A vs. 16A), which is compatible with applications designed for 16A. Torque specification (0.56 Nm) is within the Phoenix Contact tolerance range (0.5-0.6 Nm).

Q: What are the key differences between these three parts?

A: Primary differences are: (1) Current rating—Phoenix Contact and Molex specify 16A and 18A respectively; On Shore does not specify UL current; (2) Operating temperature—Phoenix Contact does not specify; Molex and On Shore specify -40°C to 115°C; (3) Inventory availability—On Shore has highest stock (11166 units), followed by Molex (6278 units), then Phoenix Contact (674 units); (4) Compliance documentation—Phoenix Contact and On Shore list ROHS3 compliance; Molex status not specified.

Q: Are there wire gauge compatibility concerns when substituting?

A: All three parts accept 12-30 AWG wire. On Shore Technology specifies a minimum of 0.34mm² (versus 0.2mm² for Phoenix Contact and Molex), which represents a negligible practical difference in standard industrial applications.

Q: Does torque specification differ significantly between parts?

A: Phoenix Contact specifies 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In). Both Molex and On Shore specify 0.56 Nm (5.0 Lb-In), which falls within the Phoenix Contact range and presents no compatibility issues.

Q: Which substitute should be selected for high-temperature applications?

A: Both Molex 0395205002 and On Shore Technology OSTTJ027150 specify operating temperature ranges (-40°C to 115°C). Phoenix Contact does not specify operating temperature in available data. For applications requiring defined temperature performance, Molex or On Shore are appropriate choices.

Q: Are retention latches present on all three parts?

A: Retention latches (non-wire side) are specified for Phoenix Contact 1911855 and Molex 0395205002. On Shore Technology OSTTJ027150 does not specify this feature in available data.
