Phoenix Contact 1981636 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1981636 is a 6-position terminal block plug with male pins, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, designed for 180° free-hanging in-line applications. This component features screwless push-in spring termination and supports wire gauges from 12-26 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²). The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for procurement and system continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of terminal block plugs is determined by electrical and mechanical compatibility across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed application requirements. Both IEC and UL ratings are specified to ensure compliance with regional standards.

Mechanical Compatibility: Position count, pitch spacing (5.00mm), wire entry angle (180°), and termination method (screwless push-in spring) must be identical to ensure physical and functional interchangeability.

Material and Environmental Compliance: Housing material (Polyamide/Nylon), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and RoHS compliance must match to maintain safety and regulatory requirements.

Wire Compatibility: Wire gauge range (12-26 AWG / 0.2-2.5mm²) and strip length (10mm) determine conductor compatibility.

The substitute part 1910869 maintains all critical parameters while transitioning from obsolete to active product status within the COMBICON series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 1910869 is the direct functional equivalent for applications currently specified with 1981636. The substitute part maintains identical electrical ratings (12A IEC / 10A UL), mechanical configuration (6-position, 5.00mm pitch, 180° entry), and material specifications (UL94 V-0 polyamide housing).

The transition from obsolete (1981636) to active (1910869) status ensures long-term supply chain continuity and access to current manufacturing quality standards. Both parts carry RoHS compliance and identical MSL ratings, supporting regulatory requirements across industrial and commercial applications.

The parts are interchangeable for new designs and replacement applications without modification to connector interfaces, PCB layouts, or wire termination procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1910869 directly replace 1981636 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. All electrical parameters (current, voltage), mechanical dimensions (pitch, position count, wire entry angle), and material specifications are identical. No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the COMBICON FKICS and COMBICON FKIC series designations?

A: Both designations refer to Phoenix Contact COMBICON terminal block families. The series designation change reflects product line evolution while maintaining electrical and mechanical compatibility for the specified part numbers.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between 1981636 and 1910869?

A: 1981636 packaging is listed as unspecified in available data. 1910869 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement specification.

Q: Why is 1981636 classified as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer in active production. Phoenix Contact 1910869 represents the current active equivalent within the COMBICON terminal block product line.

Q: Do both parts support the same wire gauge range?

A: Yes. Both parts accept 12-26 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) conductors with 10mm strip length, ensuring compatibility with existing wire preparation procedures.

Q: Are RoHS and MSL ratings identical?

A: Yes. Both parts are RoHS compliant with MSL rating 1 (unlimited moisture sensitivity level), meeting current environmental and handling standards.
