Phoenix Contact 2853763 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 2853763 is a 3-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded on 2 sides, designed for 90° right-angle through-hole mounting. This component operates at 12A (IEC) / 16A (UL) and 400V (IEC) / 300V (UL), featuring a 5.00mm pitch and gray polyamide housing. The part is active in production and ROHS3 compliant, making it suitable for industrial control and power distribution applications where reliable solder-terminated connections are required.

Equivalent and substitute parts are identified when design requirements, board space constraints, or supply chain considerations necessitate alternative sourcing while maintaining functional compatibility.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 796644-3 qualifies as a substitute based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

• Position Count & Pitch: Both parts feature 3 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, ensuring PCB footprint compatibility
• Orientation & Mounting: Both are 90° right-angle through-hole solder-terminated headers
• Voltage Rating: Both support 300V (UL), meeting standard industrial voltage requirements
• Flammability Compliance: Both achieve UL94 V-0 material rating
• Regulatory Status: Both are ROHS3 compliant and carry EAR99 ECCN classification

Differences noted: The 796644-3 features 4-side shrouding versus 2-side shrouding on the 2853763, operates at 15A (UL) versus 16A (UL), and includes specified operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 110°C) and contact material (Copper Alloy) not detailed in the main part specification.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both parts maintain active product status and full ROHS3 compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability certification, supporting their use in regulated industrial applications. The 796644-3 provides enhanced mechanical protection through 4-side shrouding, which may be advantageous in high-vibration or densely populated PCB environments. The 2853763 operates at 16A (UL) compared to 15A (UL) for the substitute, making it suitable for applications requiring maximum current capacity within the 300V (UL) / 400V (IEC) voltage envelope. Selection between these parts should be based on specific board layout constraints, shrouding requirements, and current demand of the application circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 796644-3 be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 2853763?

A: Yes, for applications operating at 300V (UL) and up to 15A (UL). Both parts share identical 3-position, 5.00mm pitch, 90° right-angle through-hole solder termination. The primary difference is shrouding configuration (4-side versus 2-side) and current rating (15A versus 16A UL).

Q: What is the significance of the shrouding difference?

A: The 796644-3 features 4-side shrouding, providing additional mechanical protection and isolation between adjacent pins. The 2853763 with 2-side shrouding offers reduced profile height and may be preferred in space-constrained designs.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same voltage applications?

A: Both support 300V (UL) operation. The 2853763 additionally supports 400V (IEC), making it suitable for IEC-rated industrial systems requiring higher voltage tolerance.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements?

A: Yes. Both are ROHS3 compliant, UL94 V-0 rated, carry EAR99 ECCN classification, and maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What is the current capacity difference between these parts?

A: The Phoenix Contact 2853763 is rated at 16A (UL), while the TE Connectivity 796644-3 is rated at 15A (UL). For circuits requiring maximum current capacity, the 2853763 is the appropriate selection.
