Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1955633 is determined by strict alignment with the following critical parameters:

• Mechanical Compatibility: 2 positions, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, vertical orientation, through-hole mounting, shrouded (4 side) design
• Electrical Performance: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed the application requirements (IEC: 12A/400V or UL: 10A/300V)
• Termination Method: Solder termination required
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Physical Dimensions: Insulation height of 0.472" (12.00mm) and compatible contact tail length

The substitute part TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 796867-2 qualifies as an equivalent based on matching mechanical form factor, pitch, orientation, mounting method, and regulatory compliance. Electrical ratings differ between IEC and UL standards but remain within acceptable substitution parameters for applications requiring either standard.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1955633 and TE Connectivity 796867-2 are active production components with full RoHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability certification. The TE Connectivity 796867-2 offers higher UL current rating (15A versus 10A), making it suitable for applications requiring increased current capacity within the 300V UL voltage specification. The Phoenix Contact 1955633 maintains higher IEC current rating (12A versus unspecified for the substitute). Selection should be based on the specific electrical requirements of the application and the applicable regulatory standard (IEC or UL). Both parts share identical mechanical form factors and mounting characteristics, ensuring direct PCB compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 796867-2 be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 1955633?

A: Yes, for applications meeting the mechanical and electrical requirements. Both parts feature identical 2-position, 5.08mm pitch, vertical through-hole configuration with 4-side shrouding. Verify that your application's current and voltage requirements align with either the IEC or UL ratings of the selected part.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are housing material (LCP versus Polyamide PA66), contact tail length (2.60mm versus 4.60mm), operating temperature specification (unspecified for Phoenix Contact versus -40°C to 110°C for TE Connectivity), and electrical ratings under different standards. Mechanical pitch, position count, and mounting method are identical.

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with PCB footprints?

A: The contact tail length differs between parts (0.102" versus 0.138"). Verify that your PCB design accommodates the substitute part's contact tail length to ensure proper solder joint formation and mechanical stability.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Both parts are RoHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.69.4040. Compliance with specific application standards should be confirmed based on your end-use requirements.

Q: Which part should I select for new designs?

A: Selection depends on your application's electrical requirements and the applicable regulatory standard. For IEC-based applications, the Phoenix Contact 1955633 provides 12A per position. For UL-based applications, the TE Connectivity 796867-2 provides 15A per position. Both are active production parts with equivalent availability.
