Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1702264 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: 3-position terminal block header with male pins
• Pitch Specification: 0.400" (10.16mm) center-to-center spacing
• Physical Dimensions: Width of 2.592" (65.84mm) and compatible panel thickness range of 0.039 ~ 0.118" (1.0 ~ 3.0mm)
• Panel Mount System: 2-piece snap lock front flange design
• Wire Connection Type: Header male pins on front panel; PCB pins on rear panel
• Color Coding: Green housing
• Electrical Compliance: RoHS compliant status

The Phoenix Contact 1702264 has one identified substitute: part number 1701540 from the COMBICON DFK-PC series. This substitute maintains compatibility across all critical mechanical and dimensional parameters while operating within the allowed electrical and compliance specifications for this product category.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1701540 serves as the active substitute for the obsolete 1702264. Both components maintain identical mechanical compatibility, dimensional specifications, and mounting characteristics. The 1701540 is currently in active production status with 981 units in stock, ensuring availability for replacement and new applications.

Key differences between the main part and substitute are limited to rear panel PCB pin orientation (straight versus right-angle) and electrical ratings. The 1701540 provides higher current capacity (66 A versus 5 A) and operates at a reduced voltage rating (300 V versus 600 V). Both components maintain RoHS compliance and are suitable for applications requiring 3-position terminal block headers with 0.400" pitch and green housing.

Selection between these components should be based on specific application requirements regarding PCB pin orientation and electrical operating parameters. The substitute part's higher current rating and active production status make it the preferred choice for new designs and ongoing system support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1701540 directly replace the 1702264 in existing installations?

A: Mechanical and dimensional compatibility is confirmed. The primary consideration is rear panel PCB pin orientation: the 1702264 uses straight pins while the 1701540 uses right-angle pins. PCB layout must accommodate the right-angle configuration. Verify that application voltage and current requirements fall within the 1701540 specifications (300 V, 66 A).

Q: What is the significance of the different voltage ratings between these parts?

A: The 1702264 is rated for 600 V UL, while the 1701540 is rated for 300 V UL. Applications operating above 300 V require the original 1702264 specification or alternative components rated for higher voltages. Applications operating at or below 300 V can safely use the 1701540.

Q: Why does the 1701540 have a higher current rating than the 1702264?

A: Current capacity is determined by internal conductor sizing and thermal design. The 1701540's 66 A rating versus the 1702264's 5 A rating reflects different internal specifications. Selection should be based on actual application current requirements rather than maximum available rating.

Q: Are there packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The 1702264 packaging is listed as unspecified, while the 1701540 is supplied in bulk packaging. Both components are available in stock quantities suitable for production and replacement applications.

Q: What does the series designation change from DFK-PCV to DFK-PC indicate?

A: Series designation reflects product line evolution within the COMBICON terminal block family. Both series maintain compatibility across the critical mechanical and electrical parameters specified for 3-position, 0.400" pitch terminal block headers with male pins and green housing.
