Phoenix Contact 0708085 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 0708085 is a 2-position terminal block header with male pins in green, designed for front panel wire connection applications. This component features screw mount front flange installation and wire wrap terminal rear connections. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. Substitute parts must maintain electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and panel mounting specifications to ensure direct interchangeability in existing designs.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 0708085 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Positions per level: 2
• Pitch: 0.197" (5.00mm)
• Width: 1.181" (30.00mm)
• Panel thickness range: 0.020 ~ 0.157" (0.5 ~ 4.0mm)
• Panel mount type: Screw mount - front flange
• Front panel connection: Header, male pins
• Voltage rating: 300 V UL minimum
• Color: Green
• Features: Lock opening

Allowable Variations:

• Rear panel wire connection type (wire wrap terminals vs. quick connect solder eyelet)
• Current rating (minimum 10 A; higher ratings acceptable)
• Product status (active preferred for obsolete parts)
• RoHS compliance version (RoHS3 acceptable for RoHS Compliant)

The substitute part 0707109 maintains all mandatory matching parameters while offering improved current capacity and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 0707109 is a direct substitute for the obsolete 0708085 based on electrical and mechanical parameter equivalence. Both components share identical mechanical footprint, pitch, width, and panel mounting specifications, ensuring physical interchangeability in existing panel designs.

The 0707109 offers the following advantages:

• Active product status ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity
• Current rating increased from 10 A to 15 A, providing additional capacity margin
• ROHS3 compliance maintains environmental regulatory alignment
• Identical voltage rating (300 V UL) and lock opening feature preserve electrical performance

The rear panel connection difference (wire wrap terminals vs. quick connect solder eyelet) represents a functional enhancement rather than a limitation. Applications using wire wrap termination must evaluate the quick connect solder eyelet interface for compatibility with existing wiring harnesses and assembly processes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 0707109 be used as a direct replacement for the 0708085 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical mechanical footprint, pitch (5.00mm), width (30.00mm), panel thickness range (0.5 ~ 4.0mm), and screw mount front flange installation. The 2-position header configuration and male pin front panel connection are identical. Rear panel connection type differs but does not affect front panel compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating increase from 10 A to 15 A?

A: The 0707109 supports higher current capacity, making it suitable for applications requiring up to 15 A per position. This represents an allowable variation that does not compromise interchangeability. Existing designs rated for 10 A operation remain fully compatible.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 0708085 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the 0707109 is supplied in bulk packaging. This difference affects procurement and handling but does not impact electrical or mechanical performance.

Q: Does the rear panel connection difference affect panel mounting?

A: No. The rear panel connection type (wire wrap terminals vs. quick connect solder eyelet) does not affect the front flange screw mount interface or panel thickness compatibility. However, wiring harness termination methods must be evaluated for system integration.

Q: Is the 0707109 RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The 0707109 is ROHS3 compliant, meeting current environmental regulatory requirements. The original 0708085 was RoHS compliant, and the substitute maintains this compliance level.

Q: Why is the 0708085 classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production. The 0707109 represents the active equivalent within the COMBICON DFK-MSTB series, ensuring continued availability for new designs and replacement applications.
