Phoenix Contact 1912414 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1912414 is a 3-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 5.08mm pitch, designed for 90° free-hanging in-line applications. This component features screw-type rising cage clamp termination and is rated for 16A (IEC) / 16A (UL) at 630V (IEC) / 300V (UL). The part is active in production and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for industrial control and power distribution applications where reliable screw-terminated connections are required. Equivalent substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical ratings, mechanical pitch compatibility, and termination methodology.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1912414 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• 3-position configuration with female socket type
• Pitch tolerance: 5.08mm (0.200") nominal, with 5.00mm (0.197") acceptable within mechanical tolerance
• Screw-type termination with rising cage clamp mechanism
• Free-hanging in-line mounting orientation
• 90° wire entry angle
• UL voltage rating minimum 300V
• UL current rating minimum 15A
• Wire gauge compatibility: 12-26 AWG minimum overlap
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Green housing color

Identified Substitutes:

1. Molex 0395238003 - Meets primary criteria with 5.00mm pitch (within tolerance), 15A UL rating, screw termination, and UL94 V-0 compliance. Wire gauge range 12-26 AWG provides overlap with main part.

2. On Shore Technology OSTTS03515A - Meets primary criteria with exact 5.08mm pitch match, screw termination, and UL94 V-0 compliance. Wire gauge range 12-24 AWG provides compatibility. Operating temperature range specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1912414 is the primary specification. All three parts are active products with UL94 V-0 compliance and 300V UL voltage rating.

Molex 0395238003 is suitable as a substitute where the 5.00mm pitch tolerance is acceptable within mechanical design constraints and wire gauge requirements do not exceed 26 AWG. The 15A UL current rating is lower than the main part; applications requiring the full 16A capacity should verify load requirements. RoHS compliance status should be confirmed with the manufacturer if ROHS3 certification is mandatory.

On Shore Technology OSTTS03515A is suitable as a substitute with exact 5.08mm pitch matching. Wire gauge compatibility extends to 24 AWG maximum; applications requiring 28-30 AWG conductors are not compatible. ROHS3 compliance is confirmed. Operating temperature range (-30°C to 105°C) is specified for this part.

Selection between substitutes depends on specific application requirements: pitch tolerance acceptance, wire gauge requirements, current capacity needs, and regulatory compliance mandates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Molex 0395238003 be used in place of Phoenix Contact 1912414 in all applications?

A: Molex 0395238003 is mechanically and electrically compatible within defined parameters. The 5.00mm pitch differs from the 5.08mm specification by 0.08mm; mechanical fit must be verified in the specific connector housing or receptacle. The 15A UL current rating is 1A lower than the main part; applications operating at or near 16A should be evaluated for thermal margin. Wire gauge compatibility is limited to 12-26 AWG; applications using 28-30 AWG conductors are not compatible.

Q: What is the pitch tolerance between 5.08mm and 5.00mm?

A: The difference is 0.08mm (approximately 3.1% variance). This falls within typical mechanical tolerances for terminal block systems. Physical verification in the target connector housing is required to confirm mechanical fit and proper seating.

Q: Is the On Shore Technology OSTTS03515A fully compatible with the Phoenix Contact 1912414?

A: On Shore Technology OSTTS03515A matches the 5.08mm pitch exactly and shares the same 3-position, female socket, screw-termination configuration. Wire gauge compatibility is 12-24 AWG; applications requiring 26-30 AWG conductors are not compatible. Current rating is not specified for this part; applications requiring confirmed 16A capacity should reference the manufacturer's technical documentation.

Q: Which substitute part has the best compliance certifications?

A: Both Phoenix Contact 1912414 and On Shore Technology OSTTS03515A are ROHS3 compliant. Molex 0395238003 RoHS status is not specified in the provided data. All three parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and 300V UL voltage certification.

Q: Can these parts be intermixed in the same connector housing?

A: Pitch differences (5.08mm vs. 5.00mm) may prevent mechanical interchangeability within the same housing. Connector receptacle specifications must be verified. Mixing parts with different pitch specifications in a single housing is not recommended without explicit mechanical compatibility confirmation.

Q: What torque specification should be used when installing these substitute parts?

A: Phoenix Contact 1912414 specifies 0.5-0.6 Nm. Molex 0395238003 specifies 0.56 Nm (within the Phoenix Contact range). On Shore Technology OSTTS03515A specifies 0.4 Nm (lower than the main part). Use the torque specification provided by the part manufacturer for each component to prevent under-torquing or over-torquing of screw terminals.
