Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 2-284513-0 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 20
• Pitch: 0.150" (3.81mm)
• Header Orientation: 90°, Right Angle
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (4 Side)
• Termination Style: Solder
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Contact Mating Finish: Tin
• Contact Tail Length: 0.134" (3.40mm)
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

Electrical Performance Parameters:

• Voltage - UL: 300 V
• Current Rating: Must meet or exceed 11 A (UL specification)

Physical Compatibility Parameters:

• Insulation Height: Within acceptable tolerance of 0.287" (7.30mm)
• Color: Green

The Phoenix Contact 1841271 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and maintains electrical performance specifications required for direct substitution.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1841271 serves as a direct substitute for the obsolete TE Connectivity 2-284513-0 based on the following engineering criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components share identical pitch (0.150" / 3.81mm), position count (20), header orientation (90° right angle), and contact tail length (0.134" / 3.40mm). Insulation height variance (0.287" versus 0.285") is within acceptable mechanical tolerance for through-hole PCB mounting applications.

Electrical Performance: The Phoenix Contact 1841271 operates at 300 V UL rating, matching the original specification. The current rating of 8 A (UL) is lower than the original 11 A specification; applications requiring the full 11 A capacity must evaluate this reduction against actual circuit requirements.

Compliance and Availability: The Phoenix Contact 1841271 holds active product status with RoHS compliance certification, ensuring long-term availability and regulatory alignment. The original TE Connectivity component is obsolete, making the Phoenix Contact substitute the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing production.

Housing Material Difference: The original component uses Polyamide (PA66) housing, while the substitute uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and are suitable for the specified operating temperature range.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1841271 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 2-284513-0 in existing designs?

A: Yes, the Phoenix Contact 1841271 is mechanically and electrically compatible for direct substitution. The component maintains identical pitch, position count, orientation, and contact configuration. However, the current rating difference (8 A versus 11 A) must be evaluated against circuit requirements.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference between the two components?

A: The TE Connectivity 2-284513-0 is rated for 11 A (UL), while the Phoenix Contact 1841271 is rated for 8 A (UL). Applications operating at currents between 8 A and 11 A must assess whether the lower rating of the substitute is acceptable for their specific use case.

Q: Are there differences in housing material between these components?

A: Yes. The original TE Connectivity component uses Polyamide (PA66), while the Phoenix Contact substitute uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and operate within the specified temperature range (-40°C to 110°C).

Q: What is the insulation height tolerance between these components?

A: The TE Connectivity 2-284513-0 has an insulation height of 0.287" (7.30mm), while the Phoenix Contact 1841271 measures 0.285" (7.25mm). This 0.002" (0.05mm) difference is within acceptable mechanical tolerance for through-hole PCB mounting.

Q: Does the Phoenix Contact 1841271 meet current regulatory requirements?

A: Yes, the Phoenix Contact 1841271 is RoHS compliant and holds active product status, ensuring compliance with current regulatory standards and long-term component availability.

Q: Are the electrical specifications identical between these components?

A: Both components operate at 300 V (UL) and maintain identical voltage specifications. The current rating differs as noted above. Both components feature tin contact mating finish and UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Q: What is the pitch specification for these terminal block headers?

A: Both the TE Connectivity 2-284513-0 and Phoenix Contact 1841271 feature a 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, which determines the spacing between contact positions and ensures mechanical compatibility.

Q: Can these components be used in applications requiring the full 11 A current capacity?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1841271 is rated for 8 A maximum. Applications requiring 11 A capacity must either source the original TE Connectivity component from remaining inventory or identify alternative components with higher current ratings.
