Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 282832-9 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Position and Pitch Compatibility: The substitute part must have 9 positions arranged in a single level with 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing PCB layouts and mating connectors.

Electrical Ratings: The substitute must meet or exceed the UL voltage rating of 300 V and UL current rating of 12 A to maintain circuit protection and safety margins.

Physical Configuration: The substitute must be a vertical, unshrouded header with male pins and solder termination for through-hole mounting. Contact tail length of 0.138" (3.50mm) and insulation height of 0.079" (2.00mm) must be maintained for proper PCB insertion and board clearance.

Material and Safety Compliance: The substitute must maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level. RoHS compliance is required for current production standards.

The Phoenix Contact 1933257 satisfies all these criteria and is classified as an equivalent substitute.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1933257 is a direct equivalent substitute for the TE Connectivity 282832-9 based on the following engineering criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both parts share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (9), orientation (vertical), and contact dimensions (tail length 0.138", insulation height 0.079"). PCB footprints and mating connector interfaces are interchangeable.

Electrical Equivalence: The Phoenix Contact 1933257 meets the UL voltage requirement of 300 V and exceeds the UL current requirement of 12 A with a 16 A rating. The part also provides IEC ratings of 12 A at 400 V, offering additional compliance flexibility.

Compliance and Certification: Both parts maintain UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 moisture sensitivity level. The Phoenix Contact 1933257 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, meeting current regulatory requirements. Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Availability and Product Status: The TE Connectivity 282832-9 is discontinued at DiGi Electronics. The Phoenix Contact 1933257 is active with 2518 pieces in stock, ensuring supply continuity for new production and replacement applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1933257 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 282832-9 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent. They share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (9), orientation (vertical), contact tail length (0.138"), and insulation height (0.079"). PCB footprints and mating connectors are interchangeable without design modification.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer series (Buchanan vs. COMBICON PST), color (green vs. black), and electrical ratings. The Phoenix Contact 1933257 provides higher UL current rating (16 A vs. 12 A) and includes IEC ratings (12 A at 400 V). The Phoenix Contact part also has confirmed REACH Unaffected status and ROHS3 compliance.

Q: Are the electrical ratings compatible for my application?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1933257 meets or exceeds all UL ratings of the TE Connectivity 282832-9. If your application requires 12 A at 300 V (UL), the Phoenix Contact part is fully compatible. The higher 16 A UL rating provides additional safety margin.

Q: Do both parts have the same flammability and moisture sensitivity ratings?

A: Yes. Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level, ensuring equivalent performance in environmental and safety-critical applications.

Q: What is the difference in packaging between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 282832-9 packaging is not specified in available documentation. The Phoenix Contact 1933257 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements with your procurement department for order specifications.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences?

A: Both parts share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications. The Phoenix Contact 1933257 provides explicit REACH Unaffected status and ROHS3 compliance, while the TE Connectivity part shows vendor-undefined REACH status. For current production, the Phoenix Contact part offers clearer regulatory documentation.

Q: Can I mix these parts in the same assembly?

A: Yes. Both parts are mechanically and electrically equivalent with identical contact dimensions and electrical ratings. They can be used interchangeably in the same assembly without functional impact.
