Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts for the Phoenix Contact 1954980 are identified based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Number of Positions: 8 (all substitutes match)
• Pitch: 0.200" (5.08mm) or 0.197" (5.00mm) — minor pitch variation acceptable within mechanical tolerance
• Header Orientation: 90°, Right Angle (all substitutes match)
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side) (all substitutes match)
• Termination Style: Solder (all substitutes match)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole (all substitutes match)
• Voltage Rating: 300 V minimum (all substitutes meet or exceed)
• Material Flammability: UL94 V-0 (all substitutes match)
• RoHS Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant (all substitutes match)

The Würth Elektronik 691313510008 and 691313710008 provide higher current capacity (20A UL vs. 10A UL) and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C). The On Shore Technology OSTOQ085451 maintains identical pitch and position count with extended operating temperature (-40°C to 115°C) and solder mounting compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1954980: Select this part for applications requiring LCP housing material, IEC current rating of 12A per position, and IEC voltage rating of 400V. Suitable for standard industrial control applications with active product support and established supply chain.

Würth Elektronik 691313510008: Select this part when higher UL current capacity (20A) is required and operating temperature range of -40°C to 105°C is acceptable. PBT housing provides alternative material composition. REACH Affected status requires compliance verification for specific applications.

Würth Elektronik 691313710008: Select this part for applications requiring 5.00mm pitch tolerance, higher UL current capacity (20A), and extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 105°C). Pitch variation of 0.003" (0.08mm) from the main part must be evaluated for PCB layout compatibility. REACH Affected status requires compliance verification.

On Shore Technology OSTOQ085451: Select this part for applications requiring extended operating temperature range (-40°C to 115°C) and identical 5.08mm pitch. Highest inventory availability (2676 pcs) supports rapid procurement. Flammability rating not specified; verify UL94 compliance for safety-critical applications.

All substitute parts maintain ROHS3 compliance and active product status. Selection should be based on specific application requirements for current capacity, operating temperature, housing material, and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Würth Elektronik 691313710008 be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 1954980?

A: The 691313710008 is mechanically and electrically compatible with the main part for most applications. The pitch difference of 0.003" (5.00mm vs. 5.08mm) is within standard PCB tolerance but must be verified against your specific board layout. The higher current capacity (20A UL) and extended temperature range (-40°C to 105°C) make it suitable for demanding environments.

Q: What is the difference between IEC and UL current ratings?

A: IEC and UL represent different international standards for electrical safety testing. The Phoenix Contact 1954980 is rated at 12A per position (IEC) and 10A (UL). Würth Elektronik substitutes are rated at 20A (UL) with no IEC rating specified. Select based on your application's applicable standard and required current capacity.

Q: Are all substitute parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, all substitute parts listed are ROHS3 compliant. However, the Würth Elektronik parts carry REACH Affected status, requiring compliance verification for specific end-use applications. The Phoenix Contact 1954980 and On Shore Technology OSTOQ085451 are REACH Unaffected.

Q: What is the significance of the housing material difference?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1954980 uses Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), while Würth Elektronik substitutes use Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials are UL94 V-0 rated. LCP offers superior dimensional stability and lower moisture absorption; PBT provides cost efficiency and established manufacturing processes. Material selection depends on application environmental conditions and thermal requirements.

Q: Can I use the On Shore Technology OSTOQ085451 in high-temperature applications?

A: Yes, the OSTOQ085451 supports operating temperatures up to 115°C, exceeding the Phoenix Contact 1954980 and Würth Elektronik alternatives. However, the flammability rating is not specified in the provided data. Verify UL94 compliance and material specifications with the manufacturer for safety-critical or high-temperature applications.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1954980 and On Shore Technology OSTOQ085451 are supplied in Bulk packaging. The Würth Elektronik 691313510008 is supplied in Tray packaging, which may affect handling, storage, and automated assembly processes. Confirm packaging compatibility with your procurement and assembly requirements.
