Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 2017224 is identified as a manufacturer-recommended substitute for the 0271017. Substitution eligibility is determined by the following criteria:

Shared Compatibility Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact
• Category: Terminal Blocks
• Type: Feed Through
• Termination Style: Tab
• Terminal Width: 6.2 mm
• Number of Levels: 1
• Color: Gray
• Material – Insulation: Polyamide (PA), Nylon
• Material Flammability Rating: UL94 V-2
• ECCN: EAR99
• HTSUS: 8536.69.8000

Substitution Basis: The 2017224 maintains electrical and mechanical compatibility through identical terminal width, termination style, insulation material, and flammability rating. Both components operate within the same voltage class (800 V IEC) and share the same physical form factor. The substitute part is from the CLIPLINE UHK series and carries Active product status, ensuring ongoing availability.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

For Direct Replacement: The Phoenix Contact 2017224 is the manufacturer-recommended substitute and is suitable for applications requiring equivalent electrical and mechanical performance. Both parts maintain identical terminal geometry (6.2 mm width), tab termination, and insulation material specifications. The 2017224 offers higher current ratings (40 A IEC / 25 A UL) and active product status, ensuring long-term supply chain availability.

Compliance Considerations: The 0271017 carries RoHS Compliant certification, while the 2017224 carries ROHS3 Compliant certification, indicating enhanced environmental compliance. Both parts maintain UL94 V-2 flammability rating and EAR99 export classification. The 2017224 is REACH Unaffected, providing additional regulatory clarity for European applications.

Position Count Difference: The primary design difference is the number of positions: the 0271017 provides 4 positions, while the 2017224 provides 6 positions. This difference must be evaluated against circuit layout and connector footprint requirements. The increased position count does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility parameters but may require PCB layout adjustment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2017224 directly replace the 0271017 in existing designs? A: The 2017224 is electrically and mechanically compatible based on shared terminal width (6.2 mm), termination style (tab), voltage rating (800 V IEC), insulation material, and flammability rating. The primary design consideration is the increased position count (6 vs. 4), which may require PCB layout modification.

Q: What is the significance of the Last Time Buy status on the 0271017? A: Last Time Buy status indicates that Phoenix Contact has discontinued production of the 0271017. The 2017224, carrying Active status, is the recommended path forward for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Q: Are there wire gauge compatibility differences between these parts? A: The 0271017 specifies 10–20 AWG (0.5–6 mm²) wire gauge compatibility. The 2017224 does not provide explicit wire gauge specifications in the available data. Verify wire gauge compatibility with Phoenix Contact technical documentation before substitution.

Q: How do the current ratings compare? A: The 2017224 provides higher current ratings: 40 A (IEC) versus 32 A (IEC) for the 0271017, and 25 A (UL) versus 20 A (UL). This represents a performance improvement and does not restrict substitution in applications using the original part's current specifications.

Q: What is the difference between RoHS and ROHS3 compliance? A: Both certifications indicate restriction of hazardous substances. ROHS3 represents the current regulatory standard with updated substance restrictions. The 2017224's ROHS3 certification provides compliance with the latest environmental regulations.

Q: Are packaging and inventory considerations relevant to substitution? A: Both parts are supplied in Bulk packaging. The 0271017 has 1118 pieces in stock (Last Time Buy status), while the 2017224 has 746 pieces in stock (Active status). For long-term applications, the Active status of the 2017224 ensures continued availability.
