Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1702329 is determined by the following critical parameters:

Mandatory Matching Parameters:

• Positions Per Level: 9
• Pitch: 0.400" (10.16mm)
• Width: 4.992" (126.80mm)
• Panel Thickness Range: 0.039 ~ 0.118" (1.0 ~ 3.0mm)
• Voltage - UL: 600 V
• Color: Green
• Front Panel Wire Connection: Header, Male Pins
• Panel Mount Type: 2 Piece, Snap Lock - Front Flange

Allowable Variation Parameters:

• Rear Panel Wire Connection: PCB Pins configuration (straight or right-angle)
• Current - UL: May exceed minimum requirement
• Series designation: Different series within COMBICON family
• Product Status: Active status preferred for obsolete parts
• Shield Connection configuration: Feedthrough or front-side mounting

The Phoenix Contact 1701605 qualifies as a substitute based on matching all mandatory parameters while offering enhanced current capacity and active product status.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1701605 serves as the primary substitute for the obsolete 1702329 model. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications at 600V UL voltage and share mechanical compatibility through matching pitch, width, and panel thickness parameters. The 1701605 offers active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability compared to the obsolete 1702329.

The primary design consideration involves rear panel wire connection orientation: the 1702329 features straight PCB pins while the 1701605 provides right-angle PCB pins. This difference requires PCB layout evaluation to confirm mechanical fit within the target application. The 1701605 delivers significantly higher current capacity at 66A versus the original 5A specification, providing enhanced performance margin for applications within the original design envelope.

Both components maintain RoHS compliance and identical mechanical mounting characteristics, supporting direct substitution in panel-mount applications with standard 2-piece snap lock front flange installation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1701605 directly replace the 1702329 in existing designs?

A: Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed for all critical parameters including position count, pitch, width, voltage rating, and mounting type. PCB layout verification is required to accommodate the right-angle rear pin configuration of the 1701605 versus the straight pin design of the 1702329.

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

A: The 1702329 operates at 5A while the 1701605 is rated for 66A. Both ratings satisfy applications designed for the original 5A specification. The higher rating of the 1701605 does not create compatibility issues and provides additional performance margin.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these components?

A: The 1702329 packaging specification is not provided in the technical data. The 1701605 is supplied in bulk packaging. Confirm packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Why is the 1702329 classified as obsolete?

A: The 1702329 is listed as obsolete by Phoenix Contact. The 1701605 maintains active product status and represents the current equivalent offering within the COMBICON terminal block family.

Q: Do both parts support the same shield connection features?

A: The 1702329 includes threaded mating lock with shield connection feedthrough. The 1701605 includes threaded mating lock with shield connection front side. Both configurations support shielded applications with different mounting approaches.
