Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1913442 is determined by strict equivalence in the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Series: COMBICON GMSTB
• Number of Positions: 7
• Pitch: 0.300" (7.62mm)
• Type: Plug, Female Sockets
• Plug Wire Entry: 180°
• Termination Style: Screw - Rising Cage Clamp
• Mounting Type: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Contact Mating Finish: Tin

Acceptable Parameter Variations: Substitute parts may exceed the electrical ratings of the original component. Wire gauge range may be broader, and voltage/current ratings may be higher, provided the minimum specifications meet or exceed the original part's requirements.

The Phoenix Contact 1812801 qualifies as a direct substitute, sharing all mandatory matching parameters while offering enhanced electrical ratings and additional features.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1812801 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete 1913442. Both components belong to the COMBICON GMSTB series and maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications for 7-position, 0.300" pitch terminal block applications.

The 1812801 offers several advantages over the original part:

Product Status: The 1812801 is active in production, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

Electrical Performance: The substitute provides higher current capacity (18.5 A UL vs. 10 A) and voltage rating (600 V UL vs. 300 V), supporting a broader range of circuit applications without derating.

Compliance: The 1812801 carries UL94 V-0 material flammability certification and RoHS compliance, meeting modern regulatory requirements.

Mechanical Features: Enhanced retention mechanisms (ejector latches and non-wire-side retention latches) improve connector reliability and reduce accidental disconnection risk.

Dimensional Compatibility: The increased insulation height (17.50mm vs. 15.00mm) must be verified against available mounting clearance in the target application.

Selection of the 1812801 is appropriate for new designs and replacement applications where the original 1913442 is no longer available.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1812801 directly replace the 1913442 in existing installations?

A: Yes, the 1812801 is mechanically and electrically compatible. Both components share identical pitch (7.62mm), position count (7), wire entry angle (180°), and termination method (screw-rising cage clamp). The substitute's higher electrical ratings and enhanced features do not create incompatibility. Verify that the increased insulation height (17.50mm vs. 15.00mm) fits within available mounting space.

Q: What is the significance of the wire gauge range difference?

A: The 1913442 specifies 2.5mm² maximum, while the 1812801 specifies 0.2-2.5mm². This indicates the 1812801 accommodates a broader range of wire sizes, including finer gauges. Both parts support the same AWG range (12-30 AWG), ensuring compatibility with standard industrial wiring practices.

Q: Why does the 1812801 have higher current and voltage ratings?

A: The 1812801 represents an improved design within the same series. Higher ratings reflect enhanced internal contact geometry and material specifications. These ratings do not affect backward compatibility; the substitute can safely handle circuits designed for the original part's lower ratings.

Q: What do the retention latches on the 1812801 provide?

A: Ejector latches and non-wire-side retention latches improve mechanical security by preventing accidental connector separation. This feature enhances reliability in vibration-prone or high-movement environments without affecting electrical or mechanical interface compatibility.

Q: Is RoHS compliance a requirement for substitution?

A: RoHS compliance of the 1812801 is an advantage for applications subject to environmental regulations. The original 1913442 does not specify RoHS status. If RoHS compliance is mandatory for your application, the 1812801 satisfies this requirement.

Q: How do the flammability ratings differ?

A: The 1913442 does not specify a material flammability rating. The 1812801 carries UL94 V-0 certification, indicating superior flame resistance. This is beneficial for safety-critical applications and meets stricter regulatory standards.
