Phoenix Contact 1915330 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1915330 is a 14-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on four sides, designed for 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch vertical through-hole mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part operates at 12A (IEC) / 12A (UL) and 320V (IEC) / 300V (UL), with a press-fit termination style and green polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) housing rated UL94 V-0.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1915330 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: All substitute parts must maintain 14 positions at 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing mating connectors and PCB layouts.
• Header Type & Orientation: Vertical orientation with male pins and four-side shrouding is required to match the original form factor and mounting footprint.
• Mounting Method: Through-hole mounting is mandatory for PCB integration compatibility.
• Electrical Ratings: Substitute parts must meet or exceed the IEC and UL current and voltage specifications (12A / 320V IEC minimum; 12A / 300V UL minimum).
• Material & Flammability: Housing material and UL94 V-0 flammability rating ensure compliance with safety and thermal requirements.
• Contact Finish: Tin plating on contacts ensures consistent solderability and corrosion resistance.

Two active substitute parts are identified: Phoenix Contact 1777196 (COMBICON MSTBV series, solder termination) and Phoenix Contact 1827773 (COMBICON CCV series, solder termination). Both maintain the core mechanical and electrical parameters while offering active product status and improved compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1777196 is the primary substitute for the 1915330. This part maintains identical mechanical dimensions (14 positions, 0.200" pitch, 0.154" contact tail length) and electrical ratings (12A / 320V IEC; 12A / 300V UL). The transition from press-fit to solder termination requires PCB design modification but provides active product status and ROHS3 compliance. The COMBICON MSTBV series housing uses PBT material consistent with the original design. Voltage rating improvement to 630V (IEC) provides additional design margin.

Phoenix Contact 1827773 serves as a secondary substitute when higher current capacity is required. This part delivers 16A (UL) versus the original 12A, maintaining 12A (IEC) specification. The COMBICON CCV series uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) housing instead of PBT, offering enhanced thermal and mechanical properties. The reduced contact tail length (0.102" versus 0.154") requires PCB footprint verification before implementation. RoHS compliance is confirmed. This option is suitable for applications requiring upgraded electrical performance within the same form factor.

Both substitutes are active products with current manufacturing support, addressing the obsolescence status of the original 1915330 component.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1777196 directly replace the 1915330 on existing PCBs?

A: Mechanical compatibility is confirmed—both parts maintain 14 positions at 0.200" pitch with identical insulation height (0.472") and contact tail length (0.154"). The primary difference is termination method: the 1915330 uses press-fit while the 1777196 requires solder attachment. Existing press-fit PCB pads must be modified to accommodate solder termination.

Q: What is the key difference between the 1777196 and 1827773 substitutes?

A: The 1777196 maintains the original electrical ratings (12A / 320V IEC) with PBT housing. The 1827773 provides higher UL current rating (16A) and uses LCP housing material, but has a shorter contact tail (0.102" versus 0.154"), requiring PCB footprint verification. Both use solder termination.

Q: Are the substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 1777196 is ROHS3 compliant, and the 1827773 is RoHS compliant. The original 1915330 does not specify RoHS status.

Q: Does the housing material change affect electrical performance?

A: Both PBT (1777196) and LCP (1827773) materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and support the specified voltage and current ratings. LCP offers superior thermal stability and mechanical properties but does not alter the electrical performance envelope for this application.

Q: What packaging is available for the substitute parts?

A: Both 1777196 and 1827773 are supplied in bulk packaging. Inventory availability is 1191 pcs (1777196) and 973 pcs (1827773).

Q: Can I use the 1827773 in applications requiring the original 12A rating?

A: Yes. The 1827773 maintains 12A (IEC) rating and exceeds the original specification at 16A (UL). It is suitable for all applications within the original 12A design envelope.
