Phoenix Contact 1915822 Terminal Block - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1915822 is a 19-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 active equivalent parts essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The part operates at 12A (IEC) / 12A (UL) and 320V (IEC) / 300V (UL), with press-fit termination and UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Due to its obsolete status, active substitute parts are available to maintain design compatibility and supply chain continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1915822 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Primary Compatibility Criteria:

• 19-position configuration with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch
• Male pin header type with four-side shrouding
• Vertical through-hole mounting orientation
• Minimum current rating of 12A (IEC) and 12A (UL)
• Minimum voltage rating of 320V (IEC) and 300V (UL)
• UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Tin contact mating finish
• Matching insulation height of 0.472" (12.00mm)

Termination Differences: The original part uses press-fit termination, while substitute parts 1777057 and 1837530 employ solder termination. This represents a functional difference in assembly methodology but maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility within the specified pitch and position parameters.

Secondary Variations: Housing material, contact tail length, and operating temperature ranges vary among substitutes but do not preclude functional equivalence when the primary criteria are met.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Part 1777057 (COMBICON MSTBV Series): This substitute maintains full electrical compatibility with the original 1915822, meeting or exceeding all voltage and current specifications. The IEC voltage rating of 400V exceeds the original 320V requirement. The primary difference is termination methodology (solder versus press-fit), which requires assembly process adjustment. This part is active and RoHS compliant, providing long-term supply chain stability. The identical contact tail length (0.154" / 3.90mm) and insulation height ensure mechanical fit compatibility.

Part 1837530 (COMBICON CCV Series): This substitute meets all minimum electrical requirements with a UL current rating of 16A, exceeding the original 12A specification. The housing material differs (Liquid Crystal Polymer instead of PBT), and the contact tail length is shorter (0.079" / 2.00mm versus 0.154" / 3.90mm). This shorter tail length may require PCB layout adjustment. The part is active and operates across -40°C to 100°C, providing extended temperature range capability. Solder termination applies to this part as well.

Selection Basis: Both substitutes are active products with UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and tin contact finishes. Part 1777057 offers the closest mechanical compatibility due to identical contact tail length. Part 1837530 provides enhanced electrical performance (16A UL rating) but requires consideration of the reduced contact tail length for PCB design compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can part 1777057 directly replace the original 1915822 in existing designs?

A: Part 1777057 maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility with the 1915822 across all critical parameters: 19 positions, 5.00mm pitch, vertical through-hole mounting, and identical insulation height and contact tail length. The termination method differs (solder versus press-fit), requiring assembly process modification but not design change.

Q: What is the impact of the shorter contact tail length on part 1837530?

A: Part 1837530 has a contact tail length of 0.079" (2.00mm) compared to the original 0.154" (3.90mm). This reduction may affect PCB hole depth requirements and solder joint formation. PCB layout verification is necessary before implementation.

Q: Are both substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Part 1777057 is explicitly RoHS compliant. Part 1837530 RoHS status is not specified in the provided data. Compliance verification should be confirmed with the manufacturer for applications requiring RoHS certification.

Q: How do the voltage ratings of the substitutes compare to the original?

A: Part 1777057 exceeds the original IEC voltage rating (400V versus 320V) while maintaining the UL rating at 300V. Part 1837530 matches the original IEC rating at 320V and UL rating at 300V. Both meet or exceed the original specifications.

Q: What assembly considerations apply when switching from press-fit to solder termination?

A: Both substitute parts employ solder termination rather than press-fit. This requires PCB assembly process adjustment, including solder reflow parameters and thermal profiling. No design changes are necessary if PCB footprints accommodate the specified contact tail lengths.

Q: Can part 1837530 be used in applications requiring extended temperature operation?

A: Part 1837530 operates across -40°C to 100°C, providing a defined operating temperature range. The original 1915822 does not specify an operating temperature range. Applications requiring temperature-rated components should select 1837530 if this extended range is beneficial.
