Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1702138 is determined by the following critical parameters that must remain consistent:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Positions per level: 6
• Pitch: 0.400" (10.16mm)
• Front panel connection type: Header, Male Pins
• Width: 3.165" (80.40mm)
• Panel mount type: 2 Piece, Snap Lock
• Panel thickness range: 0.039 ~ 0.118" (1.0 ~ 3.0mm)
• Color: Green
• Number of levels: 1
• RoHS compliance status

Parameters Allowing Variation:

• Rear panel connection type (straight vs. right angle)
• Voltage rating (higher ratings acceptable)
• Current rating (higher ratings acceptable)
• Series designation
• Product status (active preferred over obsolete)

The Phoenix Contact 1702138 has one identified substitute: part number 1701498. This substitute maintains all mandatory matching parameters while offering improved electrical specifications and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1701498 serves as the active equivalent for the obsolete 1702138. Both components maintain identical mechanical and electrical interface specifications, ensuring direct compatibility in PCB mounting applications.

The primary design difference is the rear panel connection orientation: the 1702138 features straight PCB pins, while the 1701498 provides right-angle PCB pins. This variation accommodates different PCB layout requirements without affecting electrical performance or mechanical fit.

The 1701498 offers enhanced electrical specifications with a current rating of 66A compared to the 1702138's 5A rating. The voltage rating of the 1701498 is 300V, which is lower than the 1702138's 600V rating. Component selection should verify that the 300V rating meets application requirements.

Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and MSL Level 1 classification, ensuring compatibility with modern manufacturing and storage protocols. The active product status of the 1701498 provides supply chain continuity and long-term availability assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1701498 directly replace the 1702138 in existing designs?

A: The 1701498 maintains all critical mechanical and electrical interface parameters. The primary design difference is the rear panel connection type (right-angle vs. straight). PCB layout compatibility must be verified based on the specific mounting configuration required.

Q: What is the significance of the rear panel connection difference?

A: The 1702138 uses straight PCB pins for vertical mounting, while the 1701498 uses right-angle pins for horizontal mounting. The selection depends on PCB layout and available mounting space. Both configurations maintain the same pitch and positional accuracy.

Q: Are there voltage rating implications when substituting?

A: The 1701498 operates at 300V UL rating compared to the 1702138's 600V rating. Applications requiring voltages above 300V must retain the original 1702138 or identify alternative components with higher voltage specifications.

Q: Does the current rating difference affect substitution suitability?

A: The 1701498 provides 66A current capacity versus the 1702138's 5A rating. Higher current capacity does not restrict substitution; applications requiring currents above 66A would need alternative components.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes, both the 1702138 and 1701498 are RoHS compliant with MSL Level 1 classification, meeting current environmental and manufacturing standards.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1702138 is available in standard packaging, while the 1701498 is supplied in bulk packaging. Packaging selection depends on procurement volume and inventory management requirements.
