Phoenix Contact 1701647 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1701647 is a 6-position terminal block header from the COMBICON DFK-PC series, designed for front panel header connections with male pins and rear PCB pin connections at right angles. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1701647 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Series Compatibility: Both parts must belong to the COMBICON DFK-PC series to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Connection Type: Front panel header with male pins and rear PCB pins at right angle orientation
• Pitch: 0.400" (10.16mm) standard spacing
• Panel Mount System: 2 Piece, Snap Lock mechanism
• Color: Green housing
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage and current ratings must meet or exceed application requirements
• Compliance: RoHS compliance status

The substitute part 1701485 shares the same series, connection type, pitch, panel mount system, and color. The primary difference is the position count (5 positions versus 6 positions) and electrical rating variations.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1701485 is an active product within the same COMBICON DFK-PC series and maintains mechanical compatibility with the 1701647 through identical pitch, panel thickness tolerance, width, and mounting system specifications. Both components are RoHS compliant.

Selection of the 1701485 as a substitute requires verification that the application accommodates a 5-position configuration instead of 6 positions. The electrical rating differences (300 V versus 600 V for voltage; 66 A versus 5 A for current) must be evaluated against specific circuit requirements. The active product status of the 1701485 ensures ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete 1701647.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1701485 directly replace the 1701647 in existing designs?

A: Mechanical and electrical interface compatibility exists within the COMBICON DFK-PC series. However, the 1701485 provides 5 positions instead of 6, requiring circuit redesign or application confirmation that fewer positions are acceptable. Voltage and current rating differences must be evaluated against circuit specifications.

Q: What are the key differences between these parts?

A: The primary differences are position count (6 versus 5), voltage rating (600 V versus 300 V), and current rating (5 A versus 66 A). Both share identical pitch, width, panel thickness tolerance, mounting system, and color.

Q: Why is the 1701647 listed as obsolete?

A: Product status reflects manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The active status of the 1701485 within the same series provides a path for continued system support and new implementations.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the 1701647 and 1701485 are RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component manufacturing.

Q: What should be considered when selecting between these parts?

A: Evaluate the required number of positions, voltage and current specifications for your application, and confirm mechanical fit within your panel thickness tolerance range of 0.039 ~ 0.118" (1.0 ~ 3.0mm).
