Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1701579 qualifies as a functional substitute for the 1702293 based on the following alignment of critical parameters:

Matching Parameters:

• 6 positions per level
• 0.400" (10.16mm) pitch
• 600 V UL voltage rating
• 3.792" (96.32mm) width
• 0.039 ~ 0.118" (1.0 ~ 3.0mm) panel thickness tolerance
• 2 Piece, Snap Lock - Front Flange panel mount type
• Header, male pins front panel connection
• Green color
• RoHS compliant
• Threaded mating lock feature

Differences:

• Rear panel connection: 1702293 uses PCB pins straight; 1701579 uses PCB pins right-angle
• Current rating: 1702293 rated 5 A; 1701579 rated 66 A
• Series designation: 1702293 is COMBICON DFK-PCV; 1701579 is COMBICON DFK-PC
• Shield connection: 1702293 features feedthrough; 1701579 features front side connection
• Product status: 1702293 is obsolete; 1701579 is active

The 1701579 maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility for standard applications while offering enhanced current capacity and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1701579 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1702293. Both components maintain identical mechanical footprints, electrical ratings for standard applications, and RoHS compliance. The 1701579 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain stability. The primary design consideration is the rear panel connection orientation: the 1701579 uses right-angle PCB pins compared to the straight pins of the 1702293. This difference requires verification of PCB layout compatibility. The 1701579's enhanced current rating of 66 A provides additional margin for applications originally designed for the 5 A specification of the 1702293.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1701579 directly replace the 1702293 in existing designs? A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is maintained. The primary consideration is PCB layout accommodation for the right-angle pin configuration of the 1701579 versus the straight pins of the 1702293. Panel mounting and front-side wire connection remain identical.

Q: What is the significance of the current rating difference between these parts? A: The 1702293 is rated for 5 A, while the 1701579 is rated for 66 A. Applications operating within the original 5 A specification will function within the 1701579's rating margin. The higher rating does not affect compatibility for lower-current applications.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts? A: The 1702293 packaging is listed as unspecified. The 1701579 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: How do the shield connection features differ? A: The 1702293 includes shield connection feedthrough capability, while the 1701579 features shield connection on the front side. Both provide shielding functionality with different mechanical implementation.

Q: Why is the 1702293 obsolete? A: Product obsolescence is determined by the manufacturer. The 1701579 represents the active product line continuation within the COMBICON DFK series, offering equivalent functionality with enhanced specifications.
