Phoenix Contact 1701689 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1701689 is a 9-position terminal block header with male pins in the COMBICON DFK-PC series. This component features PCB pins with right-angle configuration and snap-lock panel mounting for 0.039" to 0.118" panel thickness. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitutes essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1701689 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Identical pitch (0.400" / 10.16mm)
• Identical position count (9 positions)
• Identical connector type (Header, Male Pins to PCB Pins - Right Angle)
• Identical panel mount configuration (2 Piece, Snap Lock)
• Compatible panel thickness range (0.039" - 0.118")
• Identical width (4.365" / 110.88mm)
• Single level configuration

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Voltage rating must meet or exceed the original specification
• Current rating must meet or exceed the original specification
• Same series family (COMBICON DFK-PC)

Compliance Requirements:

• RoHS Compliant status maintained

The Phoenix Contact 1701524 meets all mechanical and compliance criteria. However, the electrical ratings differ: the substitute provides 300 V (versus 600 V) and 66 A (versus 5 A). These differences indicate the 1701524 is rated for different electrical operating conditions and must be evaluated against the specific application requirements.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1701524 provides mechanical and dimensional compatibility with the obsolete 1701689. Both components maintain RoHS compliance and belong to the same COMBICON DFK-PC series with identical connector geometry and panel mounting specifications.

The primary consideration for substitution is the electrical rating differential. The 1701524 operates at a lower voltage rating (300 V versus 600 V) but supports significantly higher current capacity (66 A versus 5 A). Selection between these parts must be based on the actual electrical requirements of the application circuit.

The 1701524 is currently in active production status with available inventory, whereas the 1701689 is obsolete. For new designs or system replacements, the 1701524 represents the current equivalent offering from Phoenix Contact within this connector family.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1701524 be used as a direct replacement for the 1701689?

A: Mechanical and dimensional compatibility is confirmed. Both components share identical pitch (0.400"), position count (9), connector type, panel mount configuration, and physical dimensions. Substitution feasibility depends on whether the application electrical requirements align with the 1701524 specifications (300 V, 66 A).

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are product status and electrical ratings. The 1701689 is obsolete with 600 V / 5 A ratings, while the 1701524 is active production with 300 V / 66 A ratings. All mechanical and dimensional parameters are identical.

Q: Does the packaging difference affect compatibility?

A: Packaging format (bulk versus standard) does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Packaging relates only to order quantity and delivery configuration.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the 1701689 and 1701524 are RoHS compliant.

Q: What should I verify before substituting the 1701524 for the 1701689?

A: Verify that the application circuit voltage does not exceed 300 V and that the current requirements do not exceed 66 A. Confirm that the panel thickness of your installation falls within the 0.039" to 0.118" range. Verify connector mating compatibility with existing male header pins.
