Phoenix Contact 1912317 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1912317 is a 4-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 5mm pitch, and 90° wire entry orientation. This component is designed for inline, free-hanging applications requiring screw-based termination with rising cage clamp technology. The part is currently active in production with 827 units in stock. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and termination methods align with the original specification, enabling direct replacement in compatible applications.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1912317 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the original specification (16 A UL, 300 V UL minimum)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 4-position configuration, 5mm pitch, 90° wire entry, and free-hanging inline mounting must be maintained
• Termination Method: Screw-based termination with M3 screw size ensures mechanical and electrical equivalence
• Housing Material: Polyamide (PA) nylon construction with UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 and REACH compliance status must be equivalent or better

The On Shore Technology Inc. ED1100/4 meets these criteria as a direct substitute, maintaining identical mechanical form factor, pitch, wire entry angle, and termination methodology while providing compatible electrical ratings and regulatory certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The On Shore Technology ED1100/4 is an active, production-status substitute for the Phoenix Contact 1912317. Both components maintain identical mechanical interfaces, pitch specifications, and mounting configurations. Regulatory compliance is equivalent, with both parts meeting RoHS3 and REACH requirements and maintaining UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Selection between these parts should account for the following provided specifications:

• Current Rating Differential: The ED1100/4 is rated at 15 A (UL) compared to the 1912317 at 16 A (UL). Applications requiring the full 16 A capacity should retain the original Phoenix Contact part.
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: The ED1100/4 accepts 10-22 AWG wire, while the original accepts 12-30 AWG. Applications using wire gauges smaller than 12 AWG or larger than 22 AWG require the original part.
• Inventory Availability: The ED1100/4 has 1067 units in stock versus 827 units for the 1912317, providing greater availability for high-volume requirements.

Both parts are suitable for applications operating within the specified electrical and mechanical parameters of the substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ED1100/4 be used as a direct replacement for the 1912317 in all applications?

A: The ED1100/4 is mechanically and electrically compatible for applications operating at 15 A or below and using wire gauges between 12-22 AWG. Applications requiring 16 A capacity or wire gauges outside this range require the original 1912317.

Q: What is the significance of the 5mm pitch specification?

A: The 5mm pitch determines the physical spacing between contact positions. Both the 1912317 and ED1100/4 maintain 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, ensuring mechanical interchangeability with mating connectors designed for this standard.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same operating temperature range?

A: The ED1100/4 specifies an operating temperature range of -30°C to 105°C. The 1912317 does not provide an operating temperature specification in the available data. Both parts use identical housing materials with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings.

Q: What does "Free Hanging (In-Line)" mounting mean?

A: This designation indicates the terminal block plug is designed for direct wire termination without requiring a separate mounting bracket or panel installation. Both parts support this configuration.

Q: Are there differences in screw torque specifications?

A: The 1912317 specifies screw torque of 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In), while the ED1100/4 specifies 0.5 Nm (4.4 Lb-In). The ED1100/4 torque specification falls within the lower range of the original part's specification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the 1912317 and ED1100/4 are RoHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and carry UL94 V-0 material flammability ratings. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.90.4000.
