Weidmüller 1702220000 Terminal Block Plug – Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1702220000 is a 12-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 7.5mm pitch, designed for 90° free-hanging (in-line) applications. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part operates within IEC ratings of 13A at 500V and UL ratings of 15A at 300V, with screw-clamping termination suitable for wire gauges 12–26 AWG (0.08–2.5mm²).

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Weidmüller 1702220000 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: 12-position plug with female sockets
• Pitch & Spacing: 0.295" (7.5mm) pitch for mechanical compatibility
• Wire Entry Orientation: 90° free-hanging (in-line) mounting
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum IEC 13A at 500V; UL 15A at 300V
• Wire Gauge Compatibility: Support for 12–26 AWG (0.08–2.5mm²) range
• Termination Method: Screw-based clamping mechanism
• Flammability Compliance: UL94 V-0 material rating

The Phoenix Contact 1737806 qualifies as a functional substitute based on matching configuration (12-position, 7.5mm pitch, 90° free-hanging), equivalent electrical performance (IEC 12A at 1kV, UL 15A at 300V), and compatible wire gauge support (12–30 AWG, 0.2–2.5mm²). Both components employ screw-based termination with UL94 V-0 housing materials and retention latches on the wire side.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitute: Phoenix Contact 1737806

The Phoenix Contact 1737806 is the qualified equivalent for the obsolete Weidmüller 1702220000 based on the following engineering criteria:

• Mechanical Compatibility: Identical 12-position, 7.5mm pitch configuration with 90° free-hanging mounting ensures direct physical fit in existing connector housings and PCB layouts.
• Electrical Performance: Meets or exceeds all specified electrical requirements. IEC rating of 12A at 1kV provides adequate margin for applications originally rated at 13A/500V. UL ratings are identical (15A/300V).
• Termination Compatibility: Both components employ screw-based clamping mechanisms. The Phoenix Contact rising cage clamp design is functionally equivalent to the Weidmüller tension sleeve approach for secure wire retention.
• Compliance & Certification: Both parts carry UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and identical retention latch features, ensuring equivalent safety and reliability performance.
• Product Status & Availability: Phoenix Contact 1737806 is active production with confirmed inventory (705 pcs), providing long-term supply security compared to the obsolete Weidmüller part.
• Wire Gauge Consideration: Phoenix Contact supports 12–30 AWG (0.2–2.5mm²), which encompasses the original 12–26 AWG specification. The 0.08mm² lower limit of the Weidmüller part is not commonly used in industrial applications; the 0.2mm² minimum of the Phoenix Contact is standard practice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1737806 directly replace the Weidmüller 1702220000 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical mechanical specifications (12 positions, 7.5mm pitch, 90° free-hanging orientation) and equivalent electrical performance. The Phoenix Contact part is mechanically and functionally interchangeable.

Q: What is the difference between the clamping mechanisms?

A: The Weidmüller 1702220000 uses a clamping yoke (tension sleeve) design, while the Phoenix Contact 1737806 employs a rising cage clamp. Both are screw-based termination methods that provide equivalent wire retention and electrical contact. The choice between them depends on assembly equipment and operator preference; both are industry-standard approaches.

Q: Are there any wire gauge limitations when substituting?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1737806 supports 12–30 AWG (0.2–2.5mm²), which fully covers the original 12–26 AWG specification. The Weidmüller part's 0.08mm² lower limit is rarely used in practice. For standard industrial applications using 12–26 AWG wire, no compatibility issues exist.

Q: What are the electrical rating differences?

A: The Phoenix Contact part is rated 12A at 1kV (IEC), compared to the Weidmüller's 13A at 500V. The 1A difference in IEC current rating is negligible for most applications, and the 1kV voltage rating exceeds the original 500V specification, providing additional safety margin. UL ratings are identical (15A/300V).

Q: Is the Phoenix Contact 1737806 actively manufactured?

A: Yes. The Phoenix Contact 1737806 is classified as active production status with confirmed inventory availability, ensuring long-term supply and technical support compared to the obsolete Weidmüller component.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: Both components carry identical UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and equivalent safety certifications. No compliance gaps exist between the two parts.

Q: What is the screw torque specification for the Phoenix Contact substitute?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1737806 specifies 0.5–0.6 Nm (4.4–5.3 Lb-In) torque, compared to the Weidmüller's 0.4–0.5 Nm (4.6–4.4 Lb-In). The slightly higher torque range reflects the rising cage clamp design and is within standard industrial assembly tolerances.
