Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1701498 qualifies as a direct substitute based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical 6-position configuration, 0.400" pitch, 3.165" width, and 2-piece snap-lock panel mounting system
• Interface Configuration: Matching header male pins on front panel and right-angle PCB pins on rear panel
• Panel Thickness Accommodation: Identical support range of 0.039" to 0.118" panel thickness
• Physical Characteristics: Same green color and single-level design
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical ECCN/HTSUS classifications

The 1701498 differs in product status (active versus obsolete) and electrical ratings, which do not affect mechanical or interface compatibility for standard terminal block applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1701498 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1701650 based on identical mechanical and interface specifications within the COMBICON DFK-PC series. Both components maintain RoHS compliance and share equivalent ECCN and HTSUS classifications.

The 1701498 is currently in active production status with higher inventory availability (1087 units), ensuring supply chain continuity for applications requiring 6-position terminal block headers with 0.400" pitch and snap-lock panel mounting.

Electrical rating differences (voltage and current) do not affect mechanical substitution compatibility. Component selection should be based on the specific electrical requirements of the application circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1701498 be used as a direct replacement for the 1701650 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical dimensions, pitch, position count, panel mounting configuration, and interface type. The 1701498 is mechanically and functionally equivalent for terminal block header applications.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 1701650 is classified as obsolete, meaning it is no longer manufactured. The 1701498 is active production, ensuring availability for new procurement and system maintenance.

Q: Do the different electrical ratings affect substitution compatibility?

A: Electrical ratings (voltage and current) do not affect mechanical or interface compatibility. Component selection should be based on application circuit requirements. The 1701498 supports higher current capacity (66 A versus 5 A) and lower voltage rating (300 V versus 600 V).

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1701650 and 1701498 maintain RoHS compliance status.

Q: What packaging differences exist between these parts?

A: The 1701650 packaging is listed as unspecified, while the 1701498 is supplied in bulk packaging. This does not affect functional compatibility.

Q: Are these components from the same manufacturer series?

A: Yes. Both are part of the Phoenix Contact COMBICON DFK-PC series, ensuring design consistency and compatibility within the product line.
