Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1812814 is the direct active equivalent for the obsolete 1913455 model. Selection of the substitute is based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status: The 1913455 is obsolete, while 1812814 maintains active status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability.
Regulatory Compliance: The 1812814 is RoHS compliant, meeting current environmental and regulatory standards. The main part does not specify RoHS status.
Electrical Performance: The substitute provides enhanced electrical ratings (18.5 A at 600 V UL versus 10 A at 300 V), offering improved performance margins for equivalent applications.
Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical mechanical specifications (8 positions, 7.62mm pitch, 180° free-hanging configuration), ensuring direct physical interchangeability.
Certification: Both parts carry EAR99 ECCN and 8536.90.4000 HTSUS classifications, maintaining consistent regulatory treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1812814 directly replace the 1913455 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically compatible within the COMBICON GMSTB series. They share identical position count (8), pitch (7.62mm), termination method (screw-rising cage clamp), and wire entry orientation (180° free-hanging). The substitute meets or exceeds all electrical specifications of the original part.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are product status (obsolete versus active), electrical ratings (1812814 provides higher current and voltage capacity), RoHS compliance status, and enhanced features including ejector latches and retention latches on the substitute. Insulation height also differs slightly (15.00mm versus 17.50mm).

Q: Are there packaging differences between the two parts?

A: The 1913455 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The 1812814 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both parts are available in new original condition with comparable inventory levels.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by each part?

A: Both parts support 12-30 AWG wire range. The 1812814 additionally specifies support for 0.2-2.5mm² wire gauge range, providing extended compatibility documentation.

Q: Is the 1812814 suitable for applications requiring 300 V operation?

A: Yes. The 1812814 is rated for 600 V UL, which exceeds the 300 V requirement of the original 1913455 specification, making it suitable for all equivalent voltage applications.

Q: What is the screw torque specification for the 1812814?

A: The 1812814 specifies screw torque of 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In) with M3 screw size. The original 1913455 does not provide torque specification.
