Phoenix Contact 1915262 Terminal Block Header – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1915262 is a 7-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on four sides, featuring a 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch for vertical through-hole mounting. This component is part of the COMBICON EMSTBV series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, equivalent substitute parts from the active COMBICON product lines are available to maintain design continuity and ensure supply chain reliability.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1915262 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Number of Positions & Pitch: All substitute parts maintain 7 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mating connectors.
• Type & Orientation: All candidates are male pin headers with 4-side shrouding in vertical orientation, preserving form factor and mounting compatibility.
• Mounting Type: All parts use through-hole mounting, maintaining assembly process compatibility.
• Electrical Ratings: Substitute parts must meet or exceed the IEC and UL current and voltage specifications to ensure safe operation in the target application.
• Housing Material & Flammability: Material composition and UL94 V-0 rating ensure thermal and flame performance equivalence.
• Termination Style Variation: The main part uses press-fit termination, while substitute parts employ solder termination. This represents a design change requiring PCB layout and assembly process modification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1777125 (COMBICON MSTBV Series)

Part 1777125 is the primary substitute for the obsolete 1915262. Both parts share identical electrical ratings (12A IEC, 320V+ IEC capability), matching pitch, position count, and form factor. The transition from press-fit to solder termination requires PCB design modification but offers improved long-term reliability in high-vibration environments. Part 1777125 maintains active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring continued availability and regulatory alignment. Contact tail length and insulation height are identical, minimizing mechanical redesign requirements.

1792782 (COMBICON CCV Series)

Part 1792782 is a secondary substitute option with active product status. This part maintains the 7-position, 5.08mm pitch configuration and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. However, the UL current rating is reduced to 10A (versus 12A for the main part), making it suitable only for applications with maximum current draw of 10A. The housing material differs (Liquid Crystal Polymer instead of PBT), and the contact tail length is shorter (0.102" versus 0.154"), requiring PCB layout verification. The addition of a locking ramp feature provides enhanced mechanical retention. This part is appropriate for cost-optimized designs where the 10A UL current rating is sufficient.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I directly replace the 1915262 with either substitute part without PCB modification?

A: No. The main part uses press-fit termination, while both substitutes use solder termination. This requires PCB pad design changes and assembly process modification. Additionally, part 1792782 has a shorter contact tail length (0.102" versus 0.154"), which may require via placement adjustment on the PCB.

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

A: Part 1777125 maintains the full 12A UL current rating and identical contact tail length, making it the closest functional equivalent. Part 1792782 reduces the UL current rating to 10A and uses a different housing material (LCP), suitable only for lower-current applications.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Part 1777125 is ROHS3 compliant, and part 1792782 is RoHS compliant. Both meet current regulatory requirements.

Q: Does the color difference between parts affect electrical performance?

A: No. Color is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical or mechanical performance. The 1915262 and 1777125 are both green, while 1792782 is black.

Q: What is the significance of the locking ramp feature on part 1792782?

A: The locking ramp provides enhanced mechanical retention of the mating connector, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection in high-vibration or high-shock environments. This is an additional feature not present on the main part or part 1777125.

Q: Can I use part 1792782 in a 12A application?

A: The UL current rating for part 1792782 is 10A, which is the limiting factor for UL-regulated applications. Use of this part in a 12A application would exceed its UL rating and is not recommended for safety-critical or regulated designs.
