SCVF12400 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SCVF12400 is a 12-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 part is currently active in production with RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating. Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and safety certifications can be maintained across different manufacturer offerings.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the SCVF12400 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 12 positions, 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, female socket plug type
• Mechanical Compatibility: Free-hanging in-line mounting with 180° wire entry orientation
• Electrical Performance: Minimum current rating of 12 A and voltage rating of 300 V (UL standard)
• Wire Compatibility: Support for 16-28 AWG wire gauge range
• Safety Certification: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance

The Phoenix Contact 1850767 qualifies as a substitute based on matching connector configuration (12 positions, 3.81mm pitch, female socket plug), identical mounting type (free-hanging in-line), and equivalent safety certifications (UL94 V-0, RoHS3 compliant). Electrical ratings meet or exceed minimum requirements within the UL standard framework.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

SCVF12400 (Amphenol PCD) is the primary specification when the application requires 12 A current capacity at 300 V with confirmed operating temperature up to 105°C. This part maintains active production status with established RoHS compliance and unlimited moisture sensitivity rating.

1850767 (Phoenix Contact) serves as a substitute when the application current requirement does not exceed 8 A at 300 V. The substitute maintains identical connector geometry, mounting configuration, and safety certifications (UL94 V-0, ROHS3 compliant). The extended wire gauge support (16-30 AWG versus 16-28 AWG) provides additional flexibility for wire termination. Both parts are active in production with equivalent compliance frameworks.

Selection between these parts depends on the specific current demand of the application circuit. If 12 A capacity is required, the SCVF12400 is the appropriate choice. If the application operates at 8 A or below, either part is suitable based on availability and procurement considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1850767 be used in place of SCVF12400 in all applications?

A: The 1850767 is suitable only when the application current requirement does not exceed 8 A. The SCVF12400 is rated for 12 A, providing higher current capacity. If your circuit draws more than 8 A, the SCVF12400 must be used.

Q: Are the physical dimensions compatible between these two parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical connector pitch (0.150" / 3.81mm), position count (12), and mounting type (free-hanging in-line). Insulation height differs by 0.004" (0.10mm), which is negligible for mechanical fit.

Q: What is the difference in termination style between these parts?

A: The SCVF12400 uses screwless spring cage tension clamp termination. The 1850767 uses screw-based pressure clip termination with M2 screws and specified torque range (0.22-0.25 Nm). Both methods provide secure wire retention; selection depends on assembly process requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same safety standards?

A: Yes. Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance (SCVF12400 is RoHS Compliant; 1850767 is ROHS3 Compliant). Both are rated for 300 V operation under UL standards.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by each part?

A: SCVF12400 supports 16-28 AWG. The 1850767 supports 16-30 AWG, providing compatibility with smaller gauge wires (29-30 AWG). For standard applications using 16-28 AWG, both parts are compatible.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. SCVF12400 is supplied in Tray packaging, while 1850767 is supplied in Bulk packaging. Packaging format may affect handling, storage, and procurement logistics but does not affect electrical or mechanical performance.
