Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the TE Connectivity 282965-4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Number of Positions: 4
• Pitch: 0.300" (7.62mm)
• Header Orientation: 90°, Right Angle
• Type: Header, Male Pins, Shrouded (2 Side)
• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Termination Style: Solder
• Voltage - UL: 300 V
• Current - UL: 15 A
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-0

The Phoenix Contact 1766149 satisfies all mandatory matching parameters and qualifies as a direct substitute. Both components share identical electrical ratings under UL standards, equivalent mechanical configuration, and compatible flammability certification. The substitute maintains the same contact tail length (0.138" / 3.50mm) and comparable insulation height, ensuring mechanical compatibility in existing PCB layouts and connector assemblies.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Part Selection: The TE Connectivity 282965-4 remains the preferred selection when available. This component carries Active product status with RoHS Compliant certification and maintains established supply chain integration.

Substitute Part Selection: The Phoenix Contact 1766149 qualifies as a direct functional equivalent under all UL electrical and mechanical specifications. This substitute carries Active product status with ROHS3 Compliant certification and REACH Unaffected status. The insulation height differential of 0.010" (0.25mm) between the two components falls within acceptable mechanical tolerance ranges for standard PCB through-hole applications and does not compromise electrical performance or mechanical fit.

Both components satisfy identical voltage (300 V UL), current (15 A UL), and flammability (UL94 V-0) requirements. Selection between the primary and substitute part should be based on availability, lead time, and procurement cost considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1766149 be used as a direct replacement for the TE Connectivity 282965-4 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (300 V UL, 15 A UL), mechanical configuration (4-position, 7.62mm pitch, 90° right-angle, through-hole solder termination), and flammability certification (UL94 V-0). The insulation height difference of 0.010" (0.25mm) does not affect PCB layout compatibility or electrical performance.

Q: What are the critical parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution eligibility is determined by matching the following parameters: number of positions (4), pitch (0.300" / 7.62mm), header orientation (90° right-angle), connector type (header with male pins, shrouded on two sides), mounting method (through-hole), termination style (solder), UL voltage rating (300 V), UL current rating (15 A), and flammability classification (UL94 V-0).

Q: Are there differences in compliance certifications between these parts?

A: The TE Connectivity 282965-4 carries RoHS Compliant certification. The Phoenix Contact 1766149 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification and REACH Unaffected status. Both certifications satisfy current regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: What is the significance of the insulation height difference?

A: The insulation height difference of 0.010" (0.25mm) between the TE Connectivity part (0.329" / 8.36mm) and the Phoenix Contact part (0.339" / 8.61mm) is within standard mechanical tolerance ranges for terminal block headers. This difference does not affect PCB mounting, connector mating, or electrical performance in standard applications.

Q: Are both parts available in the same packaging format?

A: The TE Connectivity 282965-4 packaging information is not specified in the provided data. The Phoenix Contact 1766149 is available in Bulk packaging. Packaging format should be verified with the respective manufacturer or distributor based on specific procurement requirements.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these components?

A: The TE Connectivity 282965-4 specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 110°C. Operating temperature data for the Phoenix Contact 1766149 is not provided in the available specifications.

Q: Can these components be used in applications requiring IEC current ratings?

A: The TE Connectivity 282965-4 does not specify an IEC current rating. The Phoenix Contact 1766149 specifies an IEC current rating of 12 A and IEC voltage rating of 630 V. For applications requiring IEC compliance, the Phoenix Contact 1766149 provides additional certification coverage.
