Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the Phoenix Contact 1981652 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Position Count & Pitch: 8 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing
Connector Type: Plug with male pins, 180° wire entry orientation
Mounting Configuration: Free-hanging in-line installation
Electrical Ratings: Minimum 12A (IEC) and 10A (UL) current capacity; voltage compatibility
Termination Method: Screwless push-in spring technology
Wire Compatibility: Support for 12-26 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²) conductors

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1910885 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 1981652 based on the following engineering criteria:

Product Status & Availability: The 1981652 is obsolete with no ongoing manufacturing. The 1910885 is active production with 680 units in current inventory, ensuring supply chain continuity.

Electrical Compliance: Both components meet IEC and UL electrical standards with equivalent current and voltage ratings for the specified wire gauge range. The 1910885 maintains the same 12A (IEC) and 10A (UL) current capacity and supports identical conductor sizes (12-26 AWG / 0.2-2.5mm²).

Mechanical Compatibility: Identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (8), wire entry angle (180°), and mounting configuration (free-hanging in-line) ensure direct mechanical interchangeability in existing connector housings and mating receptacles.

Safety & Material Standards: Both components feature UL94 V-0 rated polyamide housing and tin contact mating finish, meeting the same flammability and corrosion resistance requirements.

Termination Compatibility: The 1910885 uses push-in spring termination, which is compatible with the wire gauges and installation procedures specified for the original 1981652.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1910885 directly replace the 1981652 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 1910885 matches all critical mechanical and electrical parameters: 8 positions, 5.00mm pitch, 180° wire entry, free-hanging mounting, 12A (IEC) / 10A (UL) ratings, and identical wire gauge support (12-26 AWG). Physical dimensions and mating interface are equivalent.

Q: What is the key difference between the 1981652 and 1910885?

A: The primary difference is product status and termination configuration. The 1981652 (obsolete) uses dual termination options (leg spring and push-in spring), while the 1910885 (active) uses push-in spring termination only. Both support the same wire gauges and electrical ratings.

Q: Are there voltage rating differences between these parts?

A: The 1981652 is rated 630V (IEC) and 300V (UL). The 1910885 is rated 320V (IEC) and 300V (UL). For applications requiring 630V IEC compliance, the 1981652 specifications must be verified against system requirements. For standard 300V UL applications, both components are equivalent.

Q: What wire gauges are compatible with the 1910885 substitute?

A: The 1910885 supports 12-26 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²), identical to the original 1981652. Wire strip length is 10mm for both components.

Q: Is the 1910885 RoHS compliant?

A: The 1981652 is explicitly RoHS compliant. The 1910885 specifications provided do not include RoHS status documentation in the available data.
