Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1915000 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 17
• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Header Orientation: Vertical
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side)
• Current Rating (IEC): 12A minimum
• Voltage Rating (IEC): 320V minimum
• Current Rating (UL): 12A minimum
• Voltage Rating (UL): 300V minimum
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation Height: 0.472" (12.00mm)
• Contact Tail Length: 0.154" (3.90mm)

Allowable Variations:

• Termination Style: Press-Fit or Solder acceptable
• Housing Material: PBT, Polyamide (PA/Nylon), or Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)

The two identified substitute parts meet all mandatory parameters while offering active product status and improved material compliance options.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1755655 (COMBICON MSTBVA Series)

This substitute offers active product status with RoHS compliance certification. The solder termination style requires PCB design modification from the original press-fit configuration. Housing material transitions from PBT to polyamide (PA/Nylon), maintaining UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Voltage rating increases to 400V (IEC), exceeding the original 320V specification. Green color matches the original part for visual identification. Contact tail length remains at 0.154" (3.90mm), ensuring mechanical compatibility with existing PCB layouts.

Phoenix Contact 1837174 (COMBICON CCVA Series)

This substitute provides active product status with extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C). Housing material is liquid crystal polymer (LCP), offering superior thermal and chemical resistance compared to the original PBT. Current rating increases to 16A (UL), providing additional capacity margin. Black color differs from the original green specification. Contact tail length reduces to 0.079" (2.00mm), requiring PCB footprint verification. Solder termination requires design modification from press-fit configuration.

Both substitutes maintain the critical 17-position, 5.00mm pitch, vertical through-hole configuration with four-sided shrouding and UL94 V-0 flammability compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use part 1755655 as a direct replacement for 1915000 in existing assemblies?

A: Part 1755655 matches all electrical and mechanical parameters but requires PCB design modification. The termination style changes from press-fit to solder, necessitating different PCB pad design and assembly process. Contact tail length remains compatible at 0.154" (3.90mm).

Q: What is the primary difference between 1755655 and 1837174?

A: Both are active substitutes with solder termination. Part 1755655 uses polyamide (PA/Nylon) housing in green color with 0.154" (3.90mm) contact tail length. Part 1837174 uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP) housing in black color with 0.079" (2.00mm) contact tail length and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 100°C). The shorter contact tail of 1837174 requires PCB footprint verification.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Part 1755655 is explicitly RoHS compliant. Part 1837174 RoHS status is not specified in the provided data. Verify compliance requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Can I use these substitutes interchangeably in the same PCB design?

A: No. The contact tail length difference between 1755655 (0.154") and 1837174 (0.079") requires separate PCB footprint designs. Both require solder termination, differing from the original press-fit configuration. Evaluate each substitute against your specific PCB layout and assembly process requirements.

Q: What is the voltage and current capacity of each substitute?

A: All three parts maintain 12A IEC current rating. Part 1915000 operates at 320V (IEC) / 300V (UL). Part 1755655 operates at 400V (IEC) / 300V (UL). Part 1837174 operates at 320V (IEC) / 300V (UL) with increased UL current rating of 16A. Verify your application requirements against these specifications.

Q: Why is the original part 1915000 obsolete?

A: Product status reflects Phoenix Contact's manufacturing and support decisions. Active substitutes 1755655 and 1837174 provide equivalent functionality with improved material options and compliance certifications for new designs and ongoing maintenance applications.
