Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1701540 qualifies as a substitute for the 1701702 based on the following critical parameters that determine functional equivalence:

Matching Parameters:

• Manufacturer: Phoenix Contact
• Series: COMBICON DFK-PC
• Positions Per Level: 3
• Pitch: 0.400" (10.16mm)
• Front Panel Wire Connection: Header, Male Pins
• Rear Panel Wire Connection: PCB Pins - Right Angle
• Panel Mount Type: 2 Piece, Snap Lock - Front Flange
• Width: 2.592" (65.84mm)
• Color: Green
• Features: Threaded Mating Lock, Shield Connection Front Side
• Number of Levels: 1
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant

Differing Parameters:

• Panel Thickness Range: 1701702 supports 0.039 ~ 0.157" (1.0 ~ 4.0mm); 1701540 supports 0.039 ~ 0.118" (1.0 ~ 3.0mm)
• Voltage - UL: 1701702 rated 600 V; 1701540 rated 300 V
• Current - UL: 1701702 rated 5 A; 1701540 rated 66 A
• Product Status: 1701702 is obsolete; 1701540 is active

The 1701540 maintains dimensional and mechanical compatibility while offering active product status and improved current handling capacity.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1701540 is the active equivalent for the obsolete 1701702. Both components maintain identical mechanical form factor, pitch, connector type, and mounting configuration. The 1701540 is RoHS compliant and currently in active production status, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and replacement applications.

Selection between these parts depends on application voltage and current requirements. The 1701702 supports higher voltage (600 V) with lower current capacity (5 A), while the 1701540 supports lower voltage (300 V) with significantly higher current capacity (66 A). Panel thickness compatibility must also be verified: the 1701702 accommodates panels up to 4.0mm thickness, while the 1701540 accommodates panels up to 3.0mm thickness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1701540 directly replace the 1701702 in existing installations?

A: Mechanical and dimensional compatibility is confirmed. Electrical compatibility depends on application requirements. Verify that your application voltage does not exceed 300 V and that current requirements do not exceed 66 A. Confirm panel thickness is within the 1.0 ~ 3.0mm range supported by the 1701540.

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

A: The primary differences are voltage rating (600 V vs. 300 V), current rating (5 A vs. 66 A), maximum panel thickness (4.0mm vs. 3.0mm), and product status (obsolete vs. active). All other mechanical and functional parameters are identical.

Q: Why is the 1701702 classified as obsolete?

A: The 1701702 is no longer in active production. The 1701540 serves as the current production equivalent within the COMBICON DFK-PC series.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the 1701702 and 1701540 are RoHS compliant.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1701702 was supplied in standard packaging. The 1701540 is available in bulk packaging.
