Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1981995 has one direct equivalent: part number 1873605. Substitution is valid based on the following criteria:

Matching Parameters:

• Identical number of positions (12)
• Identical pitch specification (0.200" / 5.08mm)
• Identical plug wire entry orientation (180°)
• Identical termination style (Screwless - Leg Spring, Push-In Spring)
• Identical mounting type (Free Hanging / In-Line)
• Identical current and voltage ratings (IEC: 12A / 630V; UL: 10A / 300V)
• Identical wire gauge compatibility (12-26 AWG / 0.2-2.5mm²)
• Identical housing material and flammability rating (Polyamide PA, UL94 V-0)
• Identical RoHS compliance status

Series Difference: The 1981995 belongs to the COMBICON FKICS series (obsolete), while the 1873605 belongs to the COMBICON FKIC series (active). This series transition represents a product line update with maintained electrical and mechanical compatibility.
