Phoenix Contact 1701090 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1701090 is a 4-position rectangular plug connector with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination, designed for discrete wire applications in the 20-24 AWG range. This connector is part of the COMBICON HD series and features gold-plated male pins with a 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch in a single-row configuration. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where legacy component replacement is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution compatibility for the Phoenix Contact 1701090 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Configuration: 4-position rectangular plug with male pins and 0.079" (2.00mm) pitch
• Termination Method: IDC or equivalent spring clamp technology for discrete wire termination
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Support for 20-24 AWG minimum; extended range acceptable if it encompasses the original specification
• Contact Finish: Gold plating for corrosion resistance and electrical performance
• Mounting and Fastening: Free hanging in-line configuration with latch lock mechanism
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance required for modern applications

The Omron Automation and Safety XN2A-1470 meets these substitution criteria through matching connector geometry, contact configuration, and fastening mechanism. The primary difference lies in the cable termination method (spring clamp versus IDC) and extended wire gauge range (20-28 AWG versus 20-24 AWG), both of which represent functional improvements for the application space.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Omron Automation and Safety XN2A-1470 is the qualified substitute for the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1701090. Selection is based on the following engineering criteria:

Mechanical Compatibility: Both connectors share identical pitch (0.079" / 2.00mm), position count (4), and mounting configuration (free hanging in-line with latch lock fastening). Physical mating and installation procedures remain unchanged.

Electrical Compatibility: Both connectors feature gold-plated male pin contacts with equivalent electrical performance characteristics. The XN2A-1470 supports an extended wire gauge range (20-28 AWG) that fully encompasses the original 20-24 AWG specification, ensuring compatibility with existing cable assemblies.

Termination Method: The XN2A-1470 employs spring clamp termination in place of IDC. Spring clamp technology provides equivalent functionality for discrete wire termination and is widely established in industrial connector applications.

Regulatory Status: The XN2A-1470 holds ROHS3 compliance, exceeding the RoHS compliance of the original part. Both connectors are classified as ECCN EAR99 and share identical HTSUS coding (8536.69.8000), confirming regulatory alignment.

Availability: The XN2A-1470 is actively manufactured with confirmed inventory (2006 units in stock), providing supply continuity for the obsolete Phoenix Contact part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Omron XN2A-1470 directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1701090 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch, position count, contact type, and mounting configuration. Physical compatibility is confirmed. Existing mating connectors and cable assemblies designed for the 1701090 will interface with the XN2A-1470 without modification.

Q: What is the difference between IDC and spring clamp termination methods?

A: IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination pierces the wire insulation during assembly. Spring clamp termination secures the wire through mechanical clamping force. Both methods provide equivalent electrical connection for discrete wire applications. Spring clamp termination is the current industry standard for this connector class.

Q: Does the extended wire gauge range (20-28 AWG) of the XN2A-1470 affect compatibility?

A: No. The extended range is a functional enhancement. The XN2A-1470 fully supports the original 20-24 AWG specification. Existing cable assemblies using 20-24 AWG wire will operate within the qualified range of the substitute connector.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences between the two parts?

A: Both connectors are RoHS compliant. The XN2A-1470 holds ROHS3 certification, which represents an enhanced compliance standard. Both parts share identical ECCN and HTSUS classifications, confirming regulatory equivalence for import/export and trade purposes.

Q: What is the inventory status of the substitute part?

A: The Omron XN2A-1470 is actively manufactured with 2006 units confirmed in stock as new original inventory. The Phoenix Contact 1701090 is obsolete with 1078 units available as remaining stock.

Q: Are there any performance differences in contact finish between the two connectors?

A: Both connectors feature gold-plated contacts. The XN2A-1470 specifies contact finish thickness at 8.00µin (0.203µm). Both finishes provide equivalent corrosion resistance and electrical performance for the intended application.
