Phoenix Contact 1701032 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1701032 is a 4-position rectangular plug connector with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination, designed for discrete wire applications in the 24-26 AWG range. This connector features gold-plated contacts, a latch lock fastening mechanism, and operates as a free-hanging in-line component. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where legacy compatibility is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the Phoenix Contact 1701032 is determined by strict alignment of the following electrical and mechanical parameters:

Critical Matching Parameters:

• Number of positions: 4
• Pitch spacing: 0.079" (2.00mm)
• Contact type: Male pin
• Cable termination method: IDC
• Wire gauge compatibility: 24-26 AWG
• Contact finish: Gold
• Fastening mechanism: Latch lock
• Connector configuration: Plug, free-hanging in-line

The substitute part 37104-B163-00E MB from 3M satisfies all critical parameters. Both connectors employ identical pitch spacing, position count, IDC termination technology, and wire gauge specifications. The gold contact finish and latch lock fastening are preserved in the substitute, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility in applications previously using the Phoenix Contact 1701032.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 3M 37104-B163-00E MB connector is a direct functional equivalent to the Phoenix Contact 1701032. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications across all critical parameters: 4-position configuration, 2.00mm pitch, IDC termination, 24-26 AWG wire compatibility, and gold contact finish with latch lock fastening.

The 3M substitute carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance, satisfying regulatory requirements for new designs and legacy system replacements. The transition from the obsolete Phoenix Contact part to the active 3M equivalent presents no electrical or mechanical compatibility concerns when applied within the specified wire gauge and termination method parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 3M 37104-B163-00E MB directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1701032 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch spacing (2.00mm), position count (4), contact type (male pin), termination method (IDC), and wire gauge range (24-26 AWG). The mechanical and electrical interfaces are fully compatible.

Q: What is the significance of the obsolete status of the Phoenix Contact 1701032?

A: Obsolete status indicates the part is no longer manufactured or supported by Phoenix Contact. The 3M 37104-B163-00E MB, with active product status, provides a viable alternative for new procurements and system maintenance where the original part is no longer available.

Q: Are there differences in contact finish specifications between these connectors?

A: Both connectors feature gold-plated contacts. The 3M part specifies a contact finish thickness of 8.00µin (0.203µm), providing documented plating specifications for applications requiring defined contact durability and conductivity characteristics.

Q: Does the packaging format affect substitution compatibility?

A: Packaging format (bulk for the 3M part) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Packaging considerations are relevant only for procurement, inventory management, and assembly processes, not for functional connector performance.

Q: Are both connectors RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the Phoenix Contact 1701032 and 3M 37104-B163-00E MB are RoHS compliant, meeting regulatory requirements for hazardous substance restrictions in electronic components.
