Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The substitute part Phoenix Contact 1094759 is identified as a manufacturer-recommended equivalent based on the following alignment criteria:

Common Substitution Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact (same manufacturer ensures design compatibility)
• Mounting Type: DIN Rail (identical mechanical mounting interface)
• Termination Style: Screw Terminal (compatible connection method)
• Product Status: Active (ensures ongoing availability and support)
• ECCN Classification: EAR99 (matching export control classification)
• Regulatory Compliance: ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected (meets current environmental standards)

The substitute part 1094759 is an active general-purpose relay with integrated socket functionality, providing a consolidated solution where the socket and relay are combined into a single component. This differs from the main part, which is a socket-only interface, but maintains functional compatibility through identical mounting and termination characteristics.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection of the substitute part 1094759 is supported by the following engineering criteria:

Product Status Alignment: The main part 1094751 is classified as obsolete, while the substitute 1094759 maintains active product status. This ensures continued manufacturer support, availability, and compliance with current production standards.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute part carries ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected certifications, meeting current environmental and hazardous substance regulations. These certifications are essential for applications requiring compliance with modern regulatory frameworks.

Mechanical Compatibility: Both components share identical DIN rail mounting and screw terminal termination specifications, ensuring direct mechanical integration into existing system architectures without modification to mounting infrastructure or wiring harnesses.

Manufacturer Continuity: Both components are manufactured by Phoenix Contact, ensuring design consistency, quality standards, and technical support continuity within the same product ecosystem.

The substitute part represents an active, compliant alternative suitable for new installations and replacement scenarios where the obsolete socket component is no longer available through standard procurement channels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1094759 directly replace the PLC-BSC-5DC/1/SSI in existing installations?

A: The 1094759 shares identical DIN rail mounting and screw terminal termination characteristics with the main part. Direct mechanical and electrical compatibility is established through these common parameters. However, the 1094759 is a complete relay assembly rather than a socket-only interface, so system integration requirements must be evaluated based on the specific application architecture.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two components?

A: The PLC-BSC-5DC/1/SSI (1094751) is a relay socket providing a mechanical interface for miniature relays. The 1094759 is a general-purpose relay with integrated socket functionality, combining both the relay and socket into a single component. Both maintain compatibility through identical mounting and termination specifications.

Q: Why is the main part classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence indicates that the manufacturer has discontinued production and support for the PLC-BSC-5DC/1/SSI. The substitute part 1094759 is maintained as an active product, ensuring ongoing availability and compliance with current manufacturing and regulatory standards.

Q: Are there regulatory compliance differences between these components?

A: The substitute part 1094759 carries explicit ROHS3 Compliant and REACH Affected certifications. The main part specifications do not include these certifications. For applications requiring compliance with current environmental regulations, the substitute part provides documented compliance status.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) of the substitute part?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1094759 carries an MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage, handling, or deployment. This specification is not provided for the main part.

Q: Are both components classified under the same export control regulations?

A: Both components carry the EAR99 ECCN classification, indicating identical export control treatment. However, the HTSUS codes differ (8536.90.4000 for the main part and 8536.41.0020 for the substitute), reflecting their different product classifications within the harmonized tariff system.
