Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1970100 is based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Identical current (16A IEC) and voltage (630V IEC) ratings
• Mechanical Compatibility: Matching 2-position configuration, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, and 180° free-hanging orientation
• Termination Method: Screw-rising cage clamp termination with identical wire gauge acceptance (12-30 AWG / 0.2-2.5mm²)
• Contact Interface: Tin-plated mating finish ensuring consistent contact resistance and reliability
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance maintained across substitution

The Phoenix Contact 1912184 meets all substitution criteria while offering active product status and enhanced documentation.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1912184 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1970100. Selection is based on:

Product Status: The 1912184 maintains active product status with full manufacturer support, documentation, and supply chain availability, whereas the 1970100 is obsolete.

Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS compliance (1970100: RoHS Compliant; 1912184: ROHS3 Compliant), ensuring regulatory requirements are met in replacement applications.

Electrical and Mechanical Equivalence: Identical current and voltage ratings (16A / 630V IEC), matching 2-position configuration, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, and screw-rising cage clamp termination ensure direct functional substitution without circuit redesign.

Material and Contact Specifications: Tin-plated contact finish and identical wire gauge acceptance (12-30 AWG / 0.2-2.5mm²) guarantee electrical performance parity.

Packaging Consideration: The 1912184 is supplied in bulk packaging, whereas the 1970100 was supplied in standard packaging. Procurement quantities should reflect current bulk requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1912184 directly replace the 1970100 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 1912184 is electrically and mechanically equivalent across all critical parameters: 2-position configuration, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, 180° free-hanging orientation, 16A / 630V (IEC) rating, and screw-rising cage clamp termination. No circuit modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between the COMBICON MSTBT and COMBICON MSTB series?

A: Both series employ identical electrical and mechanical specifications for this 2-position plug configuration. The series designation reflects product line evolution; the MSTB series (1912184) represents the current active product line.

Q: Does the color difference (black vs. green) affect electrical performance?

A: No. Color is a cosmetic designation and does not affect electrical characteristics, current rating, voltage rating, or termination performance. Selection should be based on application-specific color coding requirements.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same wire gauge applications?

A: Yes. Both the 1970100 and 1912184 accept 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) wire gauges with identical screw-rising cage clamp termination, ensuring equivalent wire retention and electrical contact.

Q: What is the significance of ROHS3 compliance on the 1912184?

A: ROHS3 compliance indicates adherence to the current Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. Both parts meet RoHS requirements; the 1912184 reflects the updated compliance standard applicable to active products.

Q: Is the 1912184 available in the same packaging as the 1970100?

A: The 1912184 is supplied in bulk packaging. If specific packaging requirements exist, contact the distributor or manufacturer for packaging options or minimum order quantities.
