Phoenix Contact 1915288 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1915288 is a 9-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on four sides, featuring 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing for vertical through-hole mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system support and new design implementations. The part operates at 12A (IEC) / 12A (UL) and 320V (IEC) / 300V (UL), with press-fit termination and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1915288 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Core Compatibility Requirements:

• 9 positions with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing
• Vertical through-hole mounting orientation
• Male pin header configuration with 4-side shrouding
• Minimum 12A current rating (IEC standard)
• Minimum 300V voltage rating (UL standard)
• UL94 V-0 flammability classification

Acceptable Parameter Variations:

• Termination style (press-fit or solder acceptable)
• Housing material (PBT or LCP acceptable)
• IEC voltage rating (320V, 400V, or 630V all exceed 300V UL minimum)
• Contact tail length (mechanical variation within mounting constraints)
• Series designation (COMBICON EMSTBV, MSTBV, or CCV)
• Product status (active substitutes preferred for obsolete main part)

Non-Negotiable Parameters:

• Position count must remain 9
• Pitch must remain 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Mounting type must remain through-hole
• Shrouding configuration must remain 4-side
• Pin gender must remain male

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1777141 (COMBICON MSTBV Series)

This substitute is the primary equivalent for the obsolete 1915288. Both parts maintain identical position count, pitch, shrouding configuration, and insulation height. The 1777141 features solder termination instead of press-fit, requiring PCB design modification to accommodate solder pads rather than press-fit holes. The IEC voltage rating of 630V exceeds the original 320V specification, providing enhanced margin. Active product status ensures long-term availability and supply chain continuity. RoHS3 compliance supersedes the original RoHS compliance designation. Contact tail length remains identical at 0.154" (3.90mm), maintaining mechanical compatibility with existing mounting structures.

1792805 (COMBICON CCV Series)

This substitute provides functional equivalence with notable design differences. The housing material transitions from PBT to Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), offering enhanced thermal and chemical resistance. The contact tail length reduces to 0.102" (2.60mm), requiring PCB layout verification to confirm adequate clearance and solder joint formation. The UL current rating decreases to 10A, making this substitute suitable only for applications operating at or below 10A. The addition of a locking ramp feature provides enhanced mechanical retention. Active product status and RoHS compliance are maintained. IEC voltage rating of 400V exceeds the original 320V specification.

Selection Criteria:

For direct replacement in existing designs, select 1777141 when PCB termination can be modified to solder pads. Select 1792805 when enhanced material properties and mechanical locking are required, provided application current does not exceed 10A and PCB layout accommodates the reduced contact tail length.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1915288 be directly replaced with 1777141 without PCB modification?

A: No. The 1915288 uses press-fit termination, while 1777141 requires solder termination. PCB design must be modified to replace press-fit holes with solder pads. Mechanical mounting dimensions and insulation height remain compatible.

Q: What is the impact of the 1792805 contact tail length reduction from 0.154" to 0.102"?

A: The shorter contact tail affects solder joint formation depth and PCB clearance requirements. PCB layout must be verified to ensure adequate solder fillet formation and no interference with adjacent components or traces.

Q: Are both substitutes suitable for 12A applications?

A: 1777141 is rated for 12A (IEC and UL). 1792805 is rated for 12A (IEC) but only 10A (UL), limiting its use in UL-regulated applications to 10A maximum.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance?

A: Both designations indicate compliance with Restriction of Hazardous Substances regulations. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory iteration. Both are acceptable for new designs and existing applications.

Q: Does the housing material change from PBT to LCP in the 1792805 affect electrical performance?

A: Both materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and equivalent electrical insulation properties. LCP offers superior thermal stability and chemical resistance, with no degradation of electrical performance.

Q: Can 1792805 be used in applications requiring 12A at UL ratings?

A: No. The 1792805 UL current rating is 10A. Applications requiring 12A at UL ratings must use 1777141.

Q: Are the voltage ratings of the substitutes compatible with the original 1915288 application?

A: Yes. Both substitutes exceed the original 300V UL voltage requirement. 1777141 provides 630V (IEC) and 1792805 provides 400V (IEC), both suitable for applications designed for the original 320V (IEC) / 300V (UL) specification.
