Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1946419 is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Number of positions: 7
• Pitch spacing: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Plug wire entry orientation: 180°
• Termination method: Screw - Rising Cage Clamp
• Mounting configuration: Free Hanging (In-Line)
• Housing material: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Screw size: M3
• Wire gauge compatibility: 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²)
• IEC voltage rating: 630 V
• IEC current rating: 12A minimum
• Material flammability: UL94 V-0

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1946419 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical parameters required for direct functional replacement. Variations in UL current rating (10A vs. 15A) and feature set (retention latches) do not affect substitution eligibility when IEC ratings are met.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1946419 is classified as obsolete. The substitute part 1786886 is an active product within the same COMBICON MSTB series and maintains full electrical and mechanical compatibility.

Selection of part 1786886 is supported by:

• Identical IEC electrical ratings (12A at 630V)
• Matching mechanical specifications (7 positions, 5mm pitch, M3 screw termination)
• Enhanced UL current rating (15A vs. 10A), providing improved performance margin
• Active product status with current manufacturing and supply chain availability
• ROHS3 compliance, meeting current regulatory requirements
• Identical wire gauge compatibility and termination methodology

The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in applications currently using the 1946419.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1946419 be directly replaced with 1786886?

A: Yes. Both parts are 7-position terminal block plugs with 5mm pitch, identical IEC electrical ratings, and matching mechanical specifications. The 1786886 is an active product suitable for direct substitution.

Q: What are the key compatibility criteria for this terminal block plug?

A: Critical parameters include 7-position configuration, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch spacing, 180° wire entry orientation, screw-type rising cage clamp termination, free-hanging mounting, and support for 12-30 AWG wire gauges. Both parts meet these requirements.

Q: Does the difference in UL current rating (10A vs. 15A) affect substitution?

A: No. The IEC current rating of 12A is the primary specification for this product category. The higher UL rating of the 1786886 provides additional performance margin and does not create compatibility issues.

Q: Are there differences in packaging between these parts?

A: The 1946419 is supplied in standard packaging, while the 1786886 is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect functional compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: What is the significance of the retention latches feature difference?

A: The 1946419 includes retention latches on the non-wire side, while the 1786886 features a mating flange. Both designs provide mechanical retention and do not affect electrical substitution eligibility.

Q: Is the 1786886 compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. The 1786886 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements for electronic components.
