Phoenix Contact 1915314 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1915314 is a 12-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 classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives 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 UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1915314 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: 12 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) spacing (mechanical compatibility requirement)
• Header Type & Orientation: Male pins, shrouded (4 side), vertical through-hole mounting (form factor requirement)
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum 12A current and 300V voltage (UL standard); IEC ratings may vary within acceptable ranges
• Termination Compatibility: Press-fit or solder termination acceptable for PCB integration
• Housing Material & Flammability: UL94 V-0 rated materials required for safety compliance
• RoHS/REACH Compliance: Modern substitutes must meet current regulatory standards

The two identified substitutes (1777170 and 1792834) maintain core mechanical and electrical compatibility while offering active product status and updated compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1777170 is the primary substitute for the 1915314. This part maintains identical mechanical dimensions (12 positions, 5.08mm pitch, 0.154" contact tail length) and electrical ratings (12A/300V UL, 12A/630V IEC). The transition from press-fit to solder termination requires PCB design modification but offers superior long-term reliability in production environments. The part holds active product status with ROHS3 compliance, ensuring continued availability and regulatory alignment.

Phoenix Contact 1792834 serves as an alternative substitute with the following considerations: UL current rating is reduced to 10A (versus 12A on the main part), and contact tail length is shortened to 0.102" (2.60mm), requiring PCB footprint verification. Housing material differs (Liquid Crystal Polymer instead of PBT), and color is black rather than green. This part includes a locking ramp feature and maintains active status with ROHS3 compliance. Selection of this part is appropriate only when the 10A UL current rating and modified contact geometry are compatible with system requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1915314 be directly replaced with the 1777170 without PCB modification?

A: The 1777170 maintains identical mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings but requires solder termination instead of press-fit. PCB footprint and assembly process must be updated accordingly. Contact tail length (0.154") and insulation height (0.472") are identical, so through-hole spacing remains compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the voltage rating difference between 1777170 (630V IEC) and the original 1915314 (320V IEC)?

A: The 1777170 provides higher IEC voltage capability (630V versus 320V), making it suitable for applications requiring the original 320V rating. UL voltage ratings are identical at 300V for both parts. The higher IEC rating on the substitute does not create incompatibility.

Q: Is the 1792834 suitable as a direct replacement?

A: The 1792834 is mechanically compatible but has a reduced UL current rating of 10A (versus 12A on the original). If the application requires the full 12A UL rating, this part is not suitable. Additionally, the contact tail length is 0.102" (2.60mm) instead of 0.154" (3.90mm), requiring PCB footprint verification before selection.

Q: What are the termination differences between the three parts?

A: The 1915314 uses press-fit termination for automated insertion. Both substitutes (1777170 and 1792834) use solder termination, requiring wave or reflow soldering processes. Press-fit tooling is not compatible with solder-terminated parts.

Q: Are all three parts RoHS compliant?

A: The 1915314 is RoHS Compliant. Both substitutes (1777170 and 1792834) are ROHS3 Compliant, meeting current regulatory requirements. All three parts are suitable for RoHS-regulated applications.

Q: Does the color difference between parts affect functionality?

A: Color (green on 1915314 and 1777170; black on 1792834) is a visual identifier only and does not affect electrical or mechanical function. Selection should be based on application requirements and internal documentation standards.
