TS08515B0000G Terminal Block Plug Equivalent and Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The TS08515B0000G is an 8-position terminal block plug manufactured by Amphenol Anytek, featuring female sockets with 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing and 270° free-hanging in-line mounting. This component is classified as active product status and is utilized in industrial control systems, power distribution panels, and modular control enclosures where secure screw-based wire termination and polarized connections are required. Alternative models are necessary when specifications differ regarding wire entry angle, voltage/current ratings, wire gauge compatibility, or when supply chain constraints require functional equivalents from alternative manufacturers.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the TS08515B0000G is determined by electrical and mechanical compatibility within the following parameter set: 8-position configuration, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch spacing, female socket type, screw-based rising cage clamp termination, free-hanging in-line mounting, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, and M3 screw fasteners. Functionally equivalent alternatives must maintain these core attributes while meeting or exceeding the specified current (12 A UL minimum), voltage (300 V UL minimum), and wire gauge capacity (12-24 AWG minimum).

Variations in wire entry angle (270° vs. 90°), housing material composition (thermoplastic resin vs. polyamide), wire gauge maximum range (24 AWG vs. 30 AWG), and torque specifications (0.4 Nm vs. 0.5-0.6 Nm) do not preclude substitution when the application does not have explicit mechanical or spatial constraints tied to these parameters. Substitute parts 1792304 and 1792812 both originate from Phoenix Contact's COMBICON series and satisfy these compatibility criteria.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both substitute parts satisfy the active product status requirement and maintain full compliance with ROHS3 and UL94 V-0 certifications. Phoenix Contact part 1792812 presents the closest functional alignment to the TS08515B0000G, matching the 270° wire entry angle and providing enhanced current capacity (15 A vs. 12 A UL) and expanded wire gauge range (12-30 AWG vs. 12-24 AWG). Phoenix Contact part 1792304 offers equivalent electrical performance but incorporates a 90° wire entry angle, requiring evaluation of spatial constraints within the target application before selection.

Both Phoenix Contact alternatives feature polyamide (PA)/nylon housing compared to the thermoplastic resin housing of the Amphenol component, with torque specifications increased to 0.5-0.6 Nm versus 0.4 Nm on the original part. All three components utilize identical M3 fasteners, UL94 V-0 rated housing materials, tin contact mating finishes, and 5.08mm pitch spacing, ensuring mechanical and thermal interchangeability within design constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can part 1792304 be used as a drop-in replacement for TS08515B0000G? Part 1792304 shares electrical specifications and core mechanical attributes but features a 90° wire entry angle instead of 270°. This difference requires verification that the application enclosure and wire routing accommodate the alternate wire entry orientation. If the original design specifies or assumes 270° entry, mechanical incompatibility results. Electrical and current-carrying capacity are fully compatible.

What are the critical parameters for substitution between these parts? Substitution compatibility is guaranteed when the following parameters are preserved: 8-position configuration, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, female socket type, screw-based rising cage clamp termination, free-hanging mounting, and M3 fastener specification. Wire entry angle, housing material, and torque specifications can vary provided the application does not have explicit mechanical constraints tied to these attributes.

Is part 1792812 a full equivalent to TS08515B0000G? Yes. Part 1792812 matches all core electrical and mechanical specifications, including the 270° wire entry angle. The Phoenix Contact alternative provides improved performance margins (15 A vs. 12 A) and expanded wire gauge compatibility (12-30 AWG vs. 12-24 AWG), while maintaining identical pitch, position count, termination style, and mounting configuration.

How do wire gauge ranges differ between these parts? TS08515B0000G supports 12-24 AWG (0.34-2.5mm²), while both Phoenix Contact substitutes support 12-30 AWG (0.2-2.5mm²). The extended range on substitute parts accommodates smaller gauge conductors (0.2mm² minimum vs. 0.34mm² minimum) without upper gauge limitation change. Applications using wire sizes between 24-30 AWG can only use Phoenix Contact alternatives.

What is the impact of housing material differences? TS08515B0000G employs thermoplastic resin housing while 1792304 and 1792812 use polyamide (PA)/nylon. Both materials achieve UL94 V-0 flammability rating. Material substitution does not impact electrical performance, current capacity, or voltage rating but may affect mechanical durability in extreme temperature or chemical exposure scenarios. Operating temperature specifications provided for the Amphenol part (-40°C ~ 115°C) remain valid design boundaries for all three components within their rated specifications.

Are there inventory considerations for substitute selection? TS08515B0000G has 1966 pcs in stock. Phoenix Contact 1792304 has 1565 pcs available, and 1792812 has 1647 pcs available. All three parts are classified as new original stock from active manufacturers, supporting equivalent lead time and procurement reliability.
