Phoenix Contact 5437075 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 5437075 is a 16-position terminal block header with male pins, shrouded design, and 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch configured for right-angle through-hole mounting. This component belongs to the BCDH series and is classified as obsolete. The part is rated for 10A (IEC) / 12A (UL) current capacity and 400V (IEC) / 300V (UL) voltage operation. Due to its obsolete status, identifying equivalent substitute parts is necessary for ongoing design support, maintenance, and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 5437075 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Pitch (0.200" / 5.08mm): The spacing between contact positions must remain constant to ensure PCB footprint compatibility.
• Header Orientation (90°, Right Angle): The mounting angle and through-hole configuration must match the original design.
• Termination Style (Solder): The connection method to the PCB must be identical.
• Type (Header, Male Pins, Shrouded 2 Side): The connector gender, pin configuration, and shrouding design must be preserved.
• Electrical Ratings (Current and Voltage): Substitute parts must meet or exceed the IEC and UL ratings to maintain circuit safety and performance.
• Mounting Type (Through Hole): The PCB assembly method must remain unchanged.

The Phoenix Contact 1765357 is evaluated as a potential substitute based on these parameters. However, critical differences exist in position count and electrical specifications that affect substitution viability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1765357 shares fundamental design characteristics with the 5437075, including pitch, orientation, termination method, and mounting type. Both components are RoHS compliant, carry identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, and feature equivalent mechanical dimensions and contact specifications.

However, direct substitution is not feasible due to position count reduction (16 positions to 8 positions) and IEC voltage rating reduction (400V to 250V). The 1765357 operates at a lower IEC voltage specification, which may not satisfy applications requiring the full 400V IEC rating of the original part.

The 1765357 is suitable only for applications where the reduced position count and lower IEC voltage rating are acceptable within the circuit design. For applications requiring the full 16-position configuration and 400V IEC rating, alternative parts from the Phoenix Contact COMBICON or BCDH series with matching specifications must be evaluated.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1765357 be used as a direct replacement for the 5437075?

A: No. While both components share the same pitch (5.08mm), orientation (90° right angle), and termination method (solder through-hole), the 1765357 provides only 8 positions compared to the 5437075's 16 positions. Additionally, the IEC voltage rating is reduced from 400V to 250V. Direct substitution is only possible if the circuit design accommodates the reduced position count and lower voltage specification.

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

A: Substitution compatibility is determined by pitch (0.200" / 5.08mm), header orientation (90° right angle), termination style (solder), connector type (male pins, shrouded 2-side), mounting method (through-hole), and electrical ratings (current and voltage per IEC and UL standards). Any deviation in these parameters requires circuit redesign or alternative component selection.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 5437075 and 1765357 are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications, meeting regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 5437075 is classified as obsolete, indicating it is no longer manufactured or supported by Phoenix Contact. The 1765357 is active, meaning it is currently in production and available for procurement. Active status provides supply chain continuity and ongoing manufacturer support.

Q: Can the 1765357 handle the same current and voltage as the 5437075?

A: The 1765357 meets or exceeds the UL current rating (15A vs. 12A) and matches the UL voltage rating (300V). However, the IEC voltage rating is reduced from 400V to 250V. Applications requiring the full 400V IEC specification cannot use the 1765357 as a substitute.
