Phoenix Contact 0916536 Circuit Breaker Solid State 6A 24VDC - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 0916536 is a solid state circuit breaker rated for 6A at 24VDC with push-push actuator mounting in a holder configuration. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part operates within the ECP series and maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH affected status.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 0916536 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Breaker Type: Solid State (functional technology requirement)
• Voltage Rating: 24VDC (electrical compatibility requirement)
• Number of Poles: 1 (circuit configuration requirement)
• Current Rating: 6A nominal with allowance for rated values up to 8A (operational envelope)
• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact (product line continuity)
• RoHS/REACH Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected (regulatory alignment)

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 2908262 satisfies these core substitution criteria. While the mounting configuration differs (DIN Rail versus Holder) and the actuator type changes (Lever versus Push-Push), these represent mechanical interface variations that do not affect the electrical substitution relationship when proper mechanical adaptation is implemented.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 2908262 serves as the active production equivalent for the obsolete 0916536. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications at 24VDC, 1-pole solid state architecture, and regulatory compliance status (ROHS3 and REACH).

The 2908262 provides an 8A current rating, which exceeds the 6A requirement of the original part, establishing operational compatibility within the specified electrical envelope. The component is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability (1165 pieces), ensuring supply chain continuity.

Mechanical integration requires accommodation of the DIN Rail mounting standard and lever actuator interface in place of the original holder-mounted push-push configuration. These mechanical differences do not alter the electrical substitution relationship and represent standard mechanical adaptation considerations in circuit breaker selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 2908262 directly replace the 0916536 without mechanical modification?

A: Electrical substitution is valid. Mechanical mounting requires adaptation due to different mounting types (DIN Rail versus Holder) and actuator interfaces (Lever versus Push-Push). The electrical performance and protection characteristics remain equivalent.

Q: Why is the 2908262 rated for 8A when the original part is 6A?

A: The higher current rating of the substitute part establishes a compatible operational envelope. A component rated for 8A provides protection at the 6A design point and remains within the same electrical family. This is a standard substitution practice in solid state circuit breaker selection.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts maintain identical RoHS3 compliance and REACH affected status. No regulatory divergence exists between the main part and substitute.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: The 0916536 is no longer in production. The 2908262 represents the current Phoenix Contact offering within this electrical specification class, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability for new implementations and maintenance applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences to consider?

A: The 0916536 is supplied without specified packaging designation. The 2908262 is packaged in Box format. Packaging differences do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.
