VC0300510000G Terminal Block Header Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VC0300510000G is a 3-position terminal block header manufactured by Amphenol Anytek. This component is a male pin, shrouded (4-side) header with 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch spacing, designed for vertical through-hole mounting with solder termination. The part is currently active in production and maintains ROHS3 compliance with UL94 V-0 flammability rating.

Substitute parts are identified when equivalent electrical and mechanical parameters align with the main part specifications, enabling direct replacement in applications where the original part becomes unavailable or when inventory constraints require alternative sourcing.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the VC0300510000G is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

Position and Pitch Compatibility: The substitute part must maintain 3 positions with 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch spacing to ensure mechanical fit within existing PCB layouts and mating connector designs.

Header Configuration: The substitute must be a male pin header with 4-side shrouding to maintain electrical isolation and mechanical stability equivalent to the original design.

Mounting and Termination: Through-hole mounting with solder termination is required for direct replacement in existing assembly processes.

Electrical Ratings: The substitute must meet or exceed the UL voltage rating of 300 V. Current rating compatibility is evaluated at the UL standard of 20 A minimum, with the original part rated at 32 A UL.

Physical Dimensions: Contact tail length (0.197" / 5.00mm) and insulation height (1.142" / 29.00mm) must match to ensure proper PCB penetration and clearance.

Compliance and Material Standards: ROHS3 compliance and UL94 V-0 flammability rating are mandatory for substitution eligibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1804690 is a qualified substitute for the VC0300510000G based on alignment of critical electrical and mechanical parameters. Both parts maintain identical pitch spacing (0.300" / 7.62mm), header configuration (male pins, 4-side shrouded), mounting method (through-hole), and termination style (solder).

Both parts are ROHS3 compliant and carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting regulatory requirements for equivalent applications. The UL voltage rating of 300 V is identical across both parts. The primary electrical difference is the UL current rating: the VC0300510000G is rated at 32 A while the 1804690 is rated at 20 A. This difference must be evaluated against application current requirements.

Physical dimensions are equivalent: contact tail length (0.197" / 5.00mm) and insulation height (1.142" / 29.00mm) ensure proper fit in existing PCB designs and mating connector assemblies. Both parts maintain MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity classification and REACH unaffected status.

Selection between these parts should be based on application current requirements and supplier availability. The VC0300510000G provides higher current capacity at 32 A UL, while the 1804690 operates at 20 A UL. Both parts are suitable for 300 V applications and maintain equivalent mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1804690 directly replace the VC0300510000G in all applications?

A: Direct replacement is possible for applications operating at 20 A or below at 300 V UL. Applications requiring the full 32 A UL current capacity of the VC0300510000G require evaluation of the substitute's 20 A rating against actual circuit requirements.

Q: Are the physical dimensions identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical contact tail length (0.197" / 5.00mm) and insulation height (1.142" / 29.00mm), ensuring equivalent PCB fit and mating connector compatibility.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the VC0300510000G and 1804690 are ROHS3 compliant, carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating, maintain REACH unaffected status, and share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS (8536.69.4040) classifications.

Q: What is the pitch spacing for these terminal block headers?

A: Both parts feature 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch spacing with 3 positions arranged in a single level, maintaining standard spacing for this terminal block category.

Q: Are there differences in housing material between these parts?

A: The VC0300510000G uses thermoplastic resin housing, while the 1804690 uses polyamide (PA) nylon. Both materials meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and are suitable for the specified operating temperature range.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for these parts?

A: The VC0300510000G operates from -40°C to 115°C. Operating temperature data for the 1804690 was not provided in the specification parameters.

Q: Are these parts suitable for solder termination?

A: Yes. Both parts are designed for solder termination on through-hole PCB applications with identical contact tail length (0.197" / 5.00mm) for standard PCB penetration.
