Phoenix Contact 1914055 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1914055 is a 2-position terminal block header with male pins, featuring a shrouded 4-side design and 0.197" (5.00mm) vertical pitch for through-hole mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent and substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part operates at 12A (IEC) / 12A (UL) and 230V (IEC) / 300V (UL), with press-fit termination and green polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing rated UL94 V-0.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1914055 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (minimum 12A IEC), voltage rating (minimum 230V IEC / 300V UL)
• Mechanical Compatibility: 2-position configuration, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, vertical orientation, through-hole mounting, shrouded 4-side design
• Physical Compatibility: Contact tail length (0.154" / 3.90mm), insulation height (0.472" / 12.00mm), tin mating finish
• Regulatory Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance

The two identified substitute parts meet these core substitution criteria while offering active product status and enhanced compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1776883 is the primary substitute for the 1914055. This part maintains identical mechanical dimensions (pitch, orientation, insulation height, contact tail length) and electrical ratings (12A IEC, 300V UL). The transition from press-fit to solder termination requires PCB design modification but offers enhanced voltage capability (400V IEC) and active product status with ROHS3 compliance. The COMBICON MSTBV series provides direct functional equivalence with improved supply chain availability (950 pcs in stock).

Phoenix Contact 1837365 serves as an alternative substitute with higher UL current rating (16A) and ROHS3 compliance. The shorter contact tail length (0.079" / 2.00mm versus 0.154" / 3.90mm) requires PCB layout adjustment. The Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) housing material and Copper Alloy contacts provide enhanced thermal and mechanical performance. This option is suitable for applications requiring higher current capacity or improved thermal characteristics.

Both substitutes are active products with current manufacturing support, addressing the obsolescence status of the original 1914055 component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1776883 directly replace the 1914055 without PCB modification?

A: No. While the 1776883 maintains identical mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings, the termination style differs (solder versus press-fit). PCB design modification is required to accommodate solder termination pads instead of press-fit holes.

Q: What is the primary difference between the two substitute parts?

A: The 1776883 maintains the original press-fit-equivalent mechanical profile with solder termination and PBT housing. The 1837365 features a shorter contact tail (0.079" versus 0.154"), LCP housing material, and higher UL current rating (16A). Housing material and contact tail length determine PCB compatibility.

Q: Are both substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both 1776883 and 1837365 are ROHS3 compliant, exceeding the RoHS compliance status of the original 1914055.

Q: Does the 1837365 shorter contact tail affect electrical performance?

A: No. The shorter contact tail (0.079" / 2.00mm) does not affect electrical performance but requires PCB design adjustment for proper solder joint formation and mechanical support.

Q: Which substitute offers the best supply chain availability?

A: The 1776883 offers 950 pcs in current stock, compared to 985 pcs for the 1837365. Both parts are actively manufactured and readily available.

Q: Can the 1837365 be used in applications requiring 230V IEC operation?

A: The 1837365 does not specify an IEC voltage rating. For applications requiring 230V IEC operation, the 1776883 (400V IEC rated) is the appropriate selection.
