Phoenix Contact 1911936 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1911936 is a 10-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 5mm pitch, designed for free-hanging in-line applications. This component is part of the COMBICON MSTB series and is actively manufactured. The part features screw-rising cage clamp termination, supporting wire gauges from 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) with IEC ratings of 16A at 630V. Finding equivalent or substitute parts may be necessary due to inventory constraints, application-specific requirements, or design modifications requiring different position counts or electrical specifications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1911936 is evaluated based on the following critical parameters that determine functional compatibility:

Core Compatibility Criteria:

• Pitch: 5.00mm (0.197") - must match for mechanical interchangeability
• Type: Plug with female sockets - connector gender and socket configuration
• Termination Style: Screw-based termination for wire connection
• Mounting Type: Free-hanging in-line configuration
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Support for 12-30 AWG range
• Voltage Rating: Minimum 300V (UL) or 630V (IEC) for electrical safety
• Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0 for material safety compliance

Position Count Variance: The On Shore Technology Inc. OSTTJ127150 substitute part differs in position count (12 positions versus 10 positions). This represents a functional variation that may be acceptable in applications where additional connection points provide design flexibility or future expansion capability, provided the connector footprint and mounting envelope are compatible with the application.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1911936 (Primary Part): Use this part when the application requires exactly 10 connection positions with IEC electrical ratings (16A at 630V). The rising cage clamp termination and specified torque range (0.5-0.6 Nm) provide defined installation parameters. RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating meet standard industrial safety requirements. Active product status ensures continued availability and supply chain stability.

On Shore Technology OSTTJ127150 (Substitute Part): This part is suitable as a substitute when the application can accommodate 12 connection positions and operates within UL voltage ratings (300V). The screw termination and torque specification (0.56 Nm) are compatible with standard installation practices. ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating satisfy regulatory requirements. The wider wire gauge range (0.34-2.5mm²) accommodates larger conductor cross-sections. Active product status and higher inventory availability (3929 pcs) support supply chain flexibility. The position count increase does not compromise functionality in applications where additional connection capacity is acceptable or beneficial.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the On Shore Technology OSTTJ127150 directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1911936?

A: Direct mechanical replacement is possible due to matching 5mm pitch, free-hanging mounting type, and female socket configuration. However, the 12-position versus 10-position difference requires verification that the application circuit design and PCB layout accommodate the additional connector width. Electrical compatibility is confirmed through matching UL voltage ratings (300V) and wire gauge support (12-30 AWG).

Q: What is the significance of the position count difference?

A: The OSTTJ127150 provides 12 positions compared to the 1911936's 10 positions. This increases the connector footprint by approximately 10mm (2 additional 5mm pitch increments). Applications must confirm that the increased physical size does not conflict with board layout, enclosure constraints, or mating connector availability.

Q: Are the termination styles compatible?

A: Both parts use screw-based termination. The 1911936 specifies rising cage clamp technology with a torque range of 0.5-0.6 Nm, while the OSTTJ127150 uses standard screw termination with a torque specification of 0.56 Nm. Both methods are industry-standard for wire attachment and are compatible with typical installation equipment.

Q: What are the compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and support 300V UL ratings. The 1911936 additionally specifies 630V IEC rating, providing higher voltage capability. The 1911936 is RoHS Compliant, while the OSTTJ127150 is ROHS3 Compliant. Both certifications satisfy current regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions.

Q: Which part should be selected for new designs?

A: For new designs requiring exactly 10 positions with maximum voltage rating (630V IEC), select the Phoenix Contact 1911936. For applications where 12 positions provide design flexibility and 300V UL rating is sufficient, the On Shore Technology OSTTJ127150 offers equivalent functionality with higher inventory availability.

Q: Are there wire gauge compatibility considerations?

A: Both parts support 12-30 AWG wire gauges. The OSTTJ127150 specifies a minimum of 0.34mm² compared to the 1911936's 0.2mm² minimum. For applications using very fine wire (below 0.34mm²), the 1911936 provides broader compatibility. Both parts support the maximum 2.5mm² wire gauge.
