Phoenix Contact 1915110 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1915110 is a 7-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on four sides, designed for 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch vertical through-hole mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing design support and procurement planning. The part operates at 12A (IEC) / 12A (UL) and 320V (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 1915110 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• Number of positions: 7
• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Header orientation: Vertical
• Type: Male pins, shrouded (4 side)
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Current rating (UL): 12A minimum
• Voltage rating (UL): 300V minimum

Identified Substitutes:

1837417 meets all primary compatibility criteria. This part maintains the same 7-position, 5.00mm pitch vertical configuration with male pins and four-side shrouding. It supports 16A (UL) and 300V (UL), exceeding the current requirement of the original part. Termination is solder-based rather than press-fit. Housing material is liquid crystal polymer (LCP) with operating temperature range of -40°C. Product status is active.

1776935 meets all primary compatibility criteria. This part maintains the same 7-position, 5.00mm pitch vertical configuration with male pins and four-side shrouding. It supports 12A (IEC/UL) and 400V (IEC) / 300V (UL), meeting or exceeding voltage requirements. Termination is solder-based rather than press-fit. Housing material is polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), matching the original part. Product status is active. RoHS compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts are active products from Phoenix Contact, providing long-term availability compared to the obsolete 1915110.

1776935 is the closest functional equivalent. It maintains identical mechanical dimensions (contact tail length 0.154", insulation height 0.472"), matching housing material (PBT), color (green), and flammability rating (UL94 V-0). The primary difference is termination method: solder-based instead of press-fit. This part is RoHS compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), supporting extended storage and handling flexibility. Current and voltage ratings meet or exceed the original specification.

1837417 provides higher current capacity (16A UL) and maintains the same electrical ratings. Differences include solder termination, black color instead of green, liquid crystal polymer (LCP) housing material, and shorter contact tail length (0.079" versus 0.154"). Operating temperature range extends to -40°C. Flammability rating is not specified for this part.

Selection between these substitutes depends on termination method compatibility with existing PCB designs and whether the housing material and color differences are acceptable for the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1776935 or 1837417 be used as direct replacements for 1915110?

A: Both parts maintain the same 7-position, 5.00mm pitch vertical configuration with male pins and four-side shrouding. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed. The primary consideration is termination method: 1915110 uses press-fit termination, while both substitutes use solder termination. PCB design must accommodate solder-based connection.

Q: What is the difference between press-fit and solder termination?

A: Press-fit termination (1915110) uses mechanical insertion into plated through-holes without solder. Solder termination (1776935, 1837417) requires solder reflow or wave soldering for connection. This affects PCB design, assembly process, and rework procedures.

Q: Are there differences in housing material between the substitutes?

A: 1776935 uses polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), matching the original 1915110. 1837417 uses liquid crystal polymer (LCP). Both materials are suitable for terminal block applications, but LCP offers different thermal and mechanical properties. Material selection should be verified against application requirements.

Q: Does color difference affect functionality?

A: Color is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. 1915110 and 1776935 are green; 1837417 is black. Color selection may be relevant for assembly documentation or visual identification in the field.

Q: What does RoHS compliance mean for 1776935?

A: RoHS compliance indicates the part meets Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations, restricting lead and other hazardous materials. This is relevant for applications subject to environmental regulations or customer requirements.

Q: Why is the contact tail length different on 1837417?

A: 1837417 has a contact tail length of 0.079" (2.00mm) compared to 0.154" (3.90mm) on 1915110 and 1776935. This affects insertion depth into the PCB. PCB design must accommodate the shorter tail length if 1837417 is selected.

Q: Can I use 1837417 if my application requires -40°C operation?

A: 1837417 specifies an operating temperature range extending to -40°C. If your application requires this temperature range, 1837417 is suitable. The original 1915110 does not specify an operating temperature range.
