Phoenix Contact 1915932 Terminal Block Header — Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1915932 is a 22-position terminal block header with male pins, featuring a 4-side shrouded design and 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch for vertical through-hole mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part operates at 12A (IEC/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 1915932 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 22
• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side)
• Header Orientation: Vertical
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Current Rating: 12A (IEC/UL)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0
• Insulation Height: 0.472" (12.00mm)

Allowable Variations:

• Termination Style: Press-Fit (original) may be substituted with Solder termination
• Housing Material: PBT (original) may be substituted with Polyamide (PA) or Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP)
• Voltage Rating: May exceed original specification (320V IEC / 300V UL)
• Contact Tail Length: Minor variations permitted (0.102" to 0.154")
• Product Status: Active status preferred over obsolete

The identified substitutes (1755930 and 1827977) satisfy all mandatory parameters while offering improved availability and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

1755930 (COMBICON MSTBVA Series)

This substitute offers the closest electrical and mechanical alignment with the original 1915932. Key advantages include active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and higher IEC voltage rating (630V vs. 320V). The termination style change from press-fit to solder requires PCB design modification but is a standard industrial practice. Housing material change from PBT to Polyamide (PA) maintains UL94 V-0 flammability rating and mechanical compatibility. Contact tail length remains identical at 0.154" (3.90mm), ensuring direct footprint compatibility.

1827977 (COMBICON CCVA Series)

This substitute provides an alternative with active product status and RoHS compliance. The Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) housing material offers superior thermal and chemical resistance compared to the original PBT. However, the contact tail length is reduced to 0.102" (2.60mm), requiring PCB design verification for through-hole depth compatibility. IEC voltage rating is lower at 250V, making this option suitable only for applications operating at or below this voltage threshold. Solder termination applies as with 1755930.

Primary Recommendation: Part 1755930 is the preferred substitute due to maintained contact tail length, higher voltage rating, and direct electrical compatibility across IEC and UL standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1915932 be directly replaced with 1755930 or 1827977 without PCB modifications?

A: The 1755930 requires only termination method adaptation (press-fit to solder), which is a standard PCB design change. The 1827977 additionally requires verification of through-hole depth due to reduced contact tail length (0.102" vs. 0.154"). Both maintain identical pitch, position count, and insulation height.

Q: What is the impact of changing from press-fit to solder termination?

A: Press-fit termination uses mechanical insertion force; solder termination requires thermal reflow or wave soldering. This affects PCB design, assembly process, and rework procedures. Electrical performance and current-carrying capacity remain equivalent at 12A.

Q: Are the substitute parts electrically equivalent for all applications?

A: The 1755930 exceeds the original voltage specification (630V IEC vs. 320V IEC) and maintains identical current rating (12A). The 1827977 operates at 250V IEC, which is lower than the original specification. Verify application voltage requirements before selection.

Q: What are the material differences, and do they affect performance?

A: The original uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT); substitutes use Polyamide (PA) or Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP). All materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Material selection affects thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical properties but does not impact electrical performance for standard terminal block applications.

Q: Why is the 1915932 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolescence indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The identified substitutes (1755930 and 1827977) are active products with current manufacturing support and improved compliance certifications (ROHS3/RoHS).

Q: Can I use 1827977 if my application operates below 250V?

A: Yes, provided the contact tail length of 0.102" (2.60mm) is compatible with your PCB through-hole depth. Verify mechanical fit before implementation.
