Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 0914170 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Current Rating: 12A (exact match required)
• Voltage Rating - AC: 250V minimum
• Voltage Rating - DC: 65V (exact match required)
• Breaker Type: Thermal Magnetic
• Mounting Type: DIN Rail
• Actuator Type: Lever
• Number of Poles: 1

The substitute parts identified maintain these core electrical and mechanical specifications, ensuring functional compatibility in applications originally designed for the 0914170.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Phoenix Contact 0914536 serves as the direct parametric equivalent to the obsolete 0914170. Both components share identical electrical ratings (12A, 250V AC, 65V DC) and mechanical specifications. The 0914536 maintains active product status and carries ROHS3 compliance with REACH affected designation, making it the primary replacement for legacy system upgrades.

E-T-A 2210-T210-K0F2-H131-12A provides cross-manufacturer substitution with matching current and DC voltage ratings. The higher AC voltage rating of 480V provides additional operational margin in AC applications. This component carries CSA C22.2 No 235, GB 17701, IEC 60934, and UL1077 certifications, with ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Selection between Phoenix Contact and E-T-A alternatives depends on existing supply chain relationships and certification requirements specific to the application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 0914536 directly replace the obsolete 0914170?

A: Yes. Both components share identical current ratings (12A), AC voltage (250V), DC voltage (65V), breaker type (thermal magnetic), mounting configuration (DIN rail), and pole count (1). The 0914536 is the active equivalent.

Q: What is the significance of the higher 480V AC rating on the E-T-A 2210-T210-K0F2-H131-12A?

A: The E-T-A component is rated for 480V AC compared to 250V AC on the Phoenix Contact models. This higher rating does not prevent substitution in 250V AC applications, as the component can operate safely at lower voltages within its rated range.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these substitutes?

A: The Phoenix Contact 0914170 is packaged as individual units, while both 0914536 and the E-T-A 2210-T210-K0F2-H131-12A are supplied in bulk packaging. Procurement quantities should account for this distinction.

Q: What compliance certifications should I verify for my application?

A: The E-T-A 2210-T210-K0F2-H131-12A carries specific agency approvals (CSA C22.2 No 235, GB 17701, IEC 60934, UL1077). Verify these certifications against your application's regulatory requirements before selection.

Q: How do REACH designations affect component selection?

A: The Phoenix Contact 0914536 is REACH affected, while the E-T-A component is REACH unaffected. Applications subject to REACH regulations should confirm compliance status with their supply chain documentation.
