Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1912948 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: Must be a 12-position terminal block plug with female sockets
• Pitch Specification: Must maintain 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Mounting Configuration: Must support free-hanging in-line mounting
• Termination Method: Must use screw-based termination
• Electrical Ratings: Must meet or exceed IEC voltage (630V) and current (16A) specifications, or UL voltage (300V) and current (16A) specifications
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Must accommodate wire gauges within the 12-30 AWG range (0.2-2.5mm²)
• Regulatory Compliance: Must maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance

The On Shore Technology Inc. OSTTS12515A meets these core substitution criteria, enabling direct functional replacement in applications where the Phoenix Contact 1912948 is specified.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The On Shore Technology Inc. OSTTS12515A is an active-status substitute for the Phoenix Contact 1912948. Both components maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and comply with RoHS requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment in applications requiring these certifications.

The primary consideration for substitution is wire gauge range. The Phoenix Contact 1912948 accommodates 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²), while the OSTTS12515A supports 12-24 AWG (0.34-2.5mm²). Applications utilizing wire gauges smaller than 12 AWG or in the 26-30 AWG range require the Phoenix Contact component. For applications within the 12-24 AWG overlap range, both components are functionally equivalent.

Both components share identical pitch (5.08mm), mounting configuration (free-hanging in-line), termination method (screw-based), UL voltage rating (300V), and color specification (green), confirming mechanical and electrical interchangeability within the specified wire gauge parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the On Shore Technology OSTTS12515A directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1912948 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible for applications using wire gauges between 12-24 AWG. Applications requiring wire gauges outside this range (specifically 26-30 AWG or smaller than 12 AWG) must use the Phoenix Contact 1912948 to maintain specification compliance.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution compatibility?

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by: 12-position configuration, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, female socket type, free-hanging in-line mounting, screw-based termination, UL 300V voltage rating, and UL94 V-0 flammability classification. Wire gauge range is the primary differentiator between these two components.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Phoenix Contact 1912948 is RoHS Compliant, and the On Shore Technology OSTTS12515A is ROHS3 Compliant. Both meet current RoHS requirements.

Q: What is the difference in wire strip length between these components?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1912948 specifies 7mm wire strip length, while the OSTTS12515A specifies 6-7mm. This minor variation does not affect substitution compatibility.

Q: Do both components have the same screw torque specification?

A: No. The Phoenix Contact 1912948 specifies 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In) torque, while the OSTTS12515A specifies 0.4 Nm (4.6 Lb-In). Installation procedures must follow the specific torque requirements of the component being used.

Q: Are there differences in electrical ratings between these components?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1912948 provides IEC ratings of 16A at 630V and UL ratings of 16A at 300V. The OSTTS12515A provides a UL rating of 16A at 300V. For applications requiring IEC 630V rating, the Phoenix Contact component is required.
