Phoenix Contact 1936063 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1936063 is a 7-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on 4 sides, designed for 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch vertical through-hole mounting. This component belongs to the COMBICON MSTBVA series and is actively manufactured. Terminal block headers of this specification are essential in industrial control systems, power distribution modules, and modular electronic assemblies where reliable electrical connections and mechanical stability are required. Identifying equivalent substitute parts ensures design flexibility, supply chain continuity, and cost optimization while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1936063 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Parameters:

• Number of positions: 7
• Pitch spacing: 0.200" (5.08mm)
• Termination style: Solder
• Contact mating finish: Tin
• Voltage and current ratings within acceptable operating ranges

Mechanical Compatibility Parameters:

• Header orientation: Vertical
• Mounting type: Through hole
• Type configuration: Header with male pins, shrouded (4 side)
• Insulation height: 0.472" (12.00mm)
• Contact tail length: Functionally equivalent within manufacturing tolerances

Regulatory & Environmental Parameters:

• Flammability rating: UL94 V-0
• RoHS compliance status
• Moisture sensitivity level: 1 (Unlimited)

The Molex 0395311007 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all critical electrical and mechanical parameters, despite differences in housing material composition and color designation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1936063 remains the primary specification when:

• Original design documentation explicitly requires COMBICON MSTBVA series components
• PBT housing material is specified for thermal or chemical resistance requirements
• Green color coding is part of system identification or wiring standards
• IEC 400V rating is required (exceeds UL 300V specification)

Molex 0395311007 is acceptable as a substitute when:

• Design specifications allow equivalent terminal block headers meeting UL94 V-0 flammability and 300V/15A electrical ratings
• PCB footprint and through-hole mounting pattern compatibility is confirmed
• Housing material substitution from PBT to PA66 nylon does not conflict with environmental or thermal operating conditions
• Both components maintain active product status and current manufacturing availability
• RoHS3 compliance satisfies regulatory requirements equivalent to or exceeding RoHS Compliant status

Both components are actively manufactured and carry equivalent moisture sensitivity and regulatory certifications suitable for industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Molex 0395311007 be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 1936063 in existing designs?

A: Yes, provided the design does not explicitly require PBT housing material or the IEC 400V rating. Both components share identical electrical ratings under UL standards (300V, 12A minimum), matching pitch (5.08mm), position count (7), and flammability classification (UL94 V-0). PCB footprint compatibility must be confirmed, as contact tail length differs slightly (3.30mm vs. 3.90mm).

Q: What is the significance of the different housing materials (PBT vs. PA66)?

A: Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating. PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) offers superior thermal stability and chemical resistance. PA66 nylon (Polyamide 6/6) provides adequate performance for standard industrial applications. Material selection depends on operating temperature range, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress requirements specific to the application.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the Molex part (15A vs. 12A) affect compatibility?

A: No. A higher current rating indicates the Molex component can safely handle equal or greater electrical loads. If the design operates at or below 12A, the Molex 15A rating provides additional safety margin. The limiting factor remains the lower of the two ratings in any given application.

Q: Are there differences in contact tail length that affect PCB assembly?

A: Yes. The Phoenix Contact 1936063 has a contact tail length of 0.154" (3.90mm), while the Molex 0395311007 measures 0.130" (3.30mm). This 0.024" (0.60mm) difference may affect solder joint formation and PCB hole depth requirements. PCB design must accommodate the shorter tail length of the Molex component, or the longer tail of the Phoenix Contact may protrude excessively on the solder side.

Q: What does RoHS3 compliance mean compared to RoHS Compliant?

A: RoHS3 (Directive 2011/65/EU as amended) represents the current regulatory standard for restriction of hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment. RoHS Compliant typically refers to the original RoHS Directive. RoHS3 compliance is equivalent to or more stringent than earlier RoHS standards and is acceptable for applications requiring current regulatory certification.

Q: Can these components be intermixed in the same assembly?

A: Intermixing is not recommended. Maintain component consistency within a single assembly to ensure uniform electrical performance, thermal characteristics, and mechanical reliability. If substitution is necessary, replace all instances of the original part number with the substitute part number to maintain design integrity.
