SCVF02400 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SCVF02400 is a 2-position terminal block plug manufactured by Amphenol PCD, featuring female sockets with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch and 180° free-hanging in-line configuration. This component is designed for applications requiring screwless spring cage termination with rated capacity of 12 A at 300 V (UL). The product is active and in stock with 993 units available. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical ratings, mechanical compatibility, and connector geometry align with the original specification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCVF02400 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility: 2-position configuration, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, 180° free-hanging in-line mounting, and female socket type must be maintained.

Electrical Ratings: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed UL specifications (12 A at 300 V minimum). Wire gauge compatibility (16-28 AWG or equivalent metric range) is required for proper termination.

Termination Method: Spring cage or equivalent pressure-based termination systems are acceptable. Screw-based termination with appropriate torque specifications is permissible if mechanical fit and electrical performance are equivalent.

Material and Compliance: Housing material must be polyamide or nylon-based. UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance are required. Contact material must be copper alloy or equivalent.

The substitute part 1850660 (Phoenix Contact) meets these criteria with equivalent mechanical geometry, acceptable electrical ratings, and compliant material specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Selection (SCVF02400): Use when 12 A current capacity is required. This part offers higher current rating and screwless termination, reducing assembly complexity. RoHS compliance and UL94 V-0 rating are confirmed. Active product status ensures continued availability.

Substitute Selection (1850660): Use when application current requirements do not exceed 8 A and screw-based termination is acceptable. This part provides equivalent mechanical fit and voltage rating. ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 rating meet regulatory requirements. Wire gauge range extends to 30 AWG, accommodating finer conductors. Active product status ensures supply continuity.

Selection Criteria: Choose based on actual application current demand. If current requirement is 8 A or below, either part is suitable. If current exceeds 8 A, SCVF02400 is required. Termination method preference (screwless vs. screw) may influence selection based on assembly process requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can 1850660 directly replace SCVF02400 in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible only when application current does not exceed 8 A. The SCVF02400 is rated for 12 A, while 1850660 is rated for 8 A. Voltage rating (300 V UL) and mechanical geometry (2-position, 3.81mm pitch, 180° in-line) are equivalent. Termination method differs (screwless vs. screw), which may affect assembly procedures.

Q: Are the pitch and connector geometry identical?

A: Yes. Both parts feature 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, 2-position configuration, and 180° free-hanging in-line mounting. Insulation height differs slightly (0.480" vs. 0.484"), which is within acceptable tolerance for standard mating applications. Wire strip length varies (8.38mm vs. 9mm), a minor difference that does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: What are the compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts are UL94 V-0 rated and RoHS compliant. SCVF02400 carries RoHS Compliant status, while 1850660 carries ROHS3 Compliant status. Both meet current regulatory requirements. 1850660 additionally carries REACH Unaffected designation.

Q: Does wire gauge compatibility affect substitution?

A: Both parts accept 16-28 AWG wire. The 1850660 extends the range to 30 AWG and provides metric specification (0.14-1.5mm²). If your application uses wire within the 16-28 AWG range, both parts are compatible. For finer conductors (28-30 AWG), 1850660 is the appropriate choice.

Q: What is the impact of different termination styles?

A: SCVF02400 uses screwless spring cage termination, while 1850660 uses screw-based pressure clip termination. Both methods provide secure electrical connection. Screw termination requires torque specification (0.22-0.25 Nm for 1850660). Assembly process and tooling requirements differ between the two methods.
