Phoenix Contact 1914962 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1914962 is a 13-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on four sides, featuring 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch vertical through-hole mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of equivalent substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part operates at 12A (IEC) / 12A (UL) and 320V (IEC) / 300V (UL), with press-fit termination and green polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1914962 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of positions: 13
• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Header type: Male pins, shrouded (4 side)
• Header orientation: Vertical
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Electrical ratings: Minimum 12A (IEC) and 320V (IEC)
• Material flammability: UL94 V-0

Identified Substitutes:

1. Phoenix Contact 1755613 - Active status, solder termination, COMBICON MSTBVA series. Meets all core compatibility parameters with enhanced voltage rating (400V IEC). Housing material differs (Polyamide/Nylon vs. PBT). Termination style differs (solder vs. press-fit).

2. Phoenix Contact 1837132 - Active status, solder termination, COMBICON CCVA series. Meets all core compatibility parameters with enhanced current rating (16A UL). Housing material differs (Liquid Crystal Polymer vs. PBT). Contact tail length differs (0.079" vs. 0.154"). Operating temperature range specified (-40°C to 100°C).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1755613 is suitable for applications requiring the original press-fit termination methodology to be replaced with solder attachment. This substitute maintains electrical parity with the original part while offering active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The polyamide housing provides equivalent flammability performance. The increased voltage rating (400V IEC) provides additional design margin for applications operating near the original 320V specification.

Phoenix Contact 1837132 is suitable for applications where enhanced current capacity (16A UL) is beneficial or where the shorter contact tail length (0.079" vs. 0.154") accommodates board layout constraints. This substitute offers active product status and specified operating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C). The liquid crystal polymer housing maintains UL94 V-0 compliance. The reduced contact tail length requires PCB footprint verification prior to implementation.

Both substitutes maintain the 13-position, 5.00mm pitch configuration and vertical through-hole mounting required for mechanical compatibility. Selection between substitutes depends on termination method requirements (solder vs. press-fit) and specific electrical or thermal design parameters of the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1755613 directly replace the 1914962 in existing designs?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is established through matching position count (13), pitch (5.00mm), shrouded male pin configuration, and vertical through-hole mounting. The primary difference is termination style: 1755613 uses solder termination while 1914962 uses press-fit. PCB design must accommodate solder attachment methodology. Electrical ratings (12A IEC, 400V IEC) exceed original specifications.

Q: What is the impact of the shorter contact tail on Phoenix Contact 1837132?

A: The contact tail length differs: 1837132 measures 0.079" (2.00mm) compared to 1914962 at 0.154" (3.90mm). This affects PCB hole depth and component insertion depth. PCB footprint and assembly process parameters must be evaluated for compatibility with the shorter tail length.

Q: Are both substitutes RoHS compliant?

A: Phoenix Contact 1755613 is ROHS3 compliant. Phoenix Contact 1837132 compliance status is not specified in the provided data. Regulatory compliance requirements for the target application must be confirmed with the component manufacturer or distributor.

Q: How do housing material differences affect performance?

A: All three parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Housing materials differ: 1914962 uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), 1755613 uses polyamide (PA/Nylon), and 1837132 uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Material selection impacts thermal performance, chemical resistance, and mechanical properties. Application environment determines material suitability.

Q: What is the significance of the operating temperature range on 1837132?

A: Phoenix Contact 1837132 specifies operating temperature range of -40°C to 100°C. The original 1914962 does not provide operating temperature specification. Applications requiring operation outside this range must confirm compatibility with the substitute part's thermal limits.
