Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1702060 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer and Series Alignment: Both the main part and substitute must originate from Phoenix Contact within the COMBICON DFK-PC series to ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Connector Type and Interface: Front panel connection via male pins and rear PCB connection via right-angle pins must remain consistent
• Pitch and Physical Dimensions: The 0.400" (10.16mm) pitch and panel thickness tolerance of 0.039 ~ 0.118" (1.0 ~ 3.0mm) establish the mechanical interface requirements
• Electrical Ratings: Voltage rating of 600V UL must be maintained; current capacity may vary based on application requirements
• Panel Mount Configuration: The 2-piece snap lock front flange mounting system must be preserved for proper installation

The identified substitute part 1701582 shares the same manufacturer, series, pitch, panel mount type, voltage rating, and physical dimensions. The primary difference is a reduction in position count from 7 to 6 positions, which represents a functional subset suitable for applications requiring fewer connection points within the same electrical and mechanical envelope.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Selection between the main part 1702060 and substitute 1701582 must be based on application-specific position requirements:

Phoenix Contact 1702060: Suitable for legacy system maintenance where 7-position connectivity is required and existing inventory or long-lead-time procurement is necessary. Product obsolescence status requires confirmation of continued availability through authorized distributors.

Phoenix Contact 1701582: Recommended for new designs and system upgrades requiring 6-position terminal block headers. This part maintains active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain reliability. The increased current rating of 66A provides enhanced electrical capacity compared to the 5A rating of the main part, offering greater design margin for power distribution applications.

Both parts maintain identical mechanical interfaces, pitch specifications, voltage ratings, and panel mount configurations, enabling direct substitution where position count reduction is acceptable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1701582 directly replace the 1702060 in existing designs?

A: Direct replacement is possible only if the application requires 6 or fewer connection positions. The identical pitch, panel mount type, voltage rating, and physical dimensions ensure mechanical and electrical compatibility. However, designs utilizing all 7 positions of the original part cannot use the 6-position substitute without circuit redesign.

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

A: The 1702060 is rated for 5A UL current, while the 1701582 is rated for 66A UL current. This difference reflects the electrical capacity per position or overall terminal block design. Selection should be based on actual circuit current requirements rather than the higher rating alone.

Q: Why is the 1702060 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates that Phoenix Contact has discontinued active production and support for this part number. The 1701582, with active product status, represents the current generation equivalent within the COMBICON DFK-PC series and should be prioritized for new applications.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1702060 packaging information is not specified in available data. The 1701582 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging format should be confirmed with the supplier based on procurement volume requirements.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the 1702060 and 1701582 are RoHS Compliant with MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited), ECCN classification EAR99, and HTSUS code 8536.69.4040, ensuring equivalent regulatory compliance for industrial applications.
