Phoenix Contact 1701692 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1701692 is a 2-position terminal block header with male pins in the COMBICON DFK-PC series. This component features a header-to-PCB right-angle configuration with snap-lock front flange mounting and threaded mating lock capability. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent components essential for ongoing procurement and system maintenance. Substitute parts must maintain identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, and functional characteristics to ensure direct interchangeability in existing designs.

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1701692 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Specifications: Voltage rating (600 V UL) and connector pitch (0.400"/10.16mm)
Mechanical Configuration: 2-position header with male pins, right-angle PCB mounting, snap-lock front flange, and panel thickness compatibility (0.039 ~ 0.118")
Functional Features: Threaded mating lock and shield connection capability
Series Compatibility: COMBICON DFK-PC series designation
Physical Dimensions: Width of 2.192" (55.68mm) and single-level configuration

The substitute part 1701537 maintains all these critical parameters while offering an active product status and enhanced current rating capacity, making it a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1701692.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1701537 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1701692. Both components share identical mechanical and electrical specifications across all critical parameters, including connector pitch, position count, voltage rating, mounting configuration, and functional features.

The 1701537 offers the following advantages for procurement:

Active Product Status: The 1701537 maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
Enhanced Compliance: ROHS3 certification provides compliance with current regulatory requirements, compared to the RoHS Compliant designation of the obsolete part.
Increased Current Capacity: The 1701537 supports 66 A current rating versus the 5 A rating of the 1701692, providing additional design margin for applications within the same voltage and mechanical envelope.
Bulk Packaging Option: Available in bulk packaging, supporting high-volume procurement requirements.

Direct substitution of 1701537 for 1701692 requires no design modifications, PCB layout changes, or mechanical adjustments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1701537 be used as a direct replacement for the 1701692 without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical pitch (0.400"/10.16mm), position count (2), width (2.192"/55.68mm), panel thickness compatibility (0.039 ~ 0.118"), and mounting configuration (snap-lock front flange). No PCB layout or mechanical changes are required.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference between the two parts?

A: The 1701537 supports 66 A current capacity compared to the 1701692's 5 A rating. Both operate at the same 600 V UL voltage. The higher current rating of the substitute part does not affect compatibility and provides additional design margin for applications operating within the original 5 A specification.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1701692 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the 1701537 is available in bulk packaging. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility; it reflects procurement and supply chain options.

Q: Why is the 1701692 classified as obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer lifecycle decisions. The 1701537 represents the active equivalent within the COMBICON DFK-PC series and is the recommended procurement choice for new designs and ongoing system maintenance.

Q: Do both parts support the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Both parts are MSL 1 (Unlimited moisture sensitivity level) and carry ECCN EAR99 classification. The 1701537 carries ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected status, providing enhanced regulatory alignment compared to the RoHS Compliant designation of the 1701692.
