Phoenix Contact 1702811 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1702811 is a 2-position terminal block header with female sockets designed for front panel wire connection and PCB pin rear panel mounting. This component is classified as obsolete, making identification of suitable substitute parts essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. The part operates at 600V UL voltage rating with 5A current capacity and features threaded mating lock and shield connection on the front side.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1702811 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Specifications: Voltage rating (600V UL) and current capacity (5A) must match exactly
• Mechanical Interface: Pitch (0.400"), position count (2), and connector type (Header, Female Sockets) must be identical
• Mounting Configuration: Panel mount type (2 Piece, Snap Lock) and panel thickness tolerance (0.039 ~ 0.118") must be compatible
• Series Compatibility: COMBICON DFK-IPC series designation ensures form factor and mating interface consistency
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL rating must meet or exceed the original specification

The Phoenix Contact 1702497 qualifies as a direct substitute based on these parameters. Both parts share identical electrical ratings, connector configuration, pitch, position count, and environmental compliance. The primary distinction is the panel width dimension (1.750" vs 2.417"), which reflects a design variation within the same product family rather than a functional incompatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1702497 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1702811. Both components maintain identical electrical performance (600V, 5A), mechanical pitch (0.400"), connector interface (2-position female socket header), and environmental compliance (RoHS, MSL 1).

The 1702497 holds active product status, ensuring continued availability and manufacturing support. This status transition from obsolete to active represents the primary advantage of substitution. Both parts carry equivalent certifications (RoHS compliance, EAR99 ECCN classification, identical HTSUS code 8536.69.4030).

The width differential (1.750" vs 2.417") reflects a design variant within the COMBICON DFK-IPC series. Panel integration feasibility depends on available mounting space and front panel layout constraints specific to the application. The panel thickness tolerance remains consistent across both parts, supporting direct mechanical substitution in standard panel mounting configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1702497 directly replace the 1702811 in existing installations?

A: Electrical and connector compatibility is complete. Mechanical substitution depends on panel width accommodation. The 1702497 is narrower (1.750" vs 2.417"), which may require panel layout adjustment if the original mounting space was designed to the larger dimension.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components operate at 600V UL voltage and 5A current capacity with identical pitch (0.400") and 2-position configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the product status change from Obsolete to Active?

A: The 1702497 active status ensures ongoing manufacturing, quality control, and supply chain availability. The 1702811 obsolete designation indicates discontinued production and potential supply constraints.

Q: Do both parts meet the same environmental and compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both are RoHS compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), share identical ECCN (EAR99) and HTSUS classifications, and belong to the same COMBICON DFK-IPC series.

Q: What is the primary design difference between these parts?

A: The panel width dimension differs (1.750" vs 2.417"). Both parts maintain identical electrical specifications, pitch, position count, and mounting type (2 Piece, Snap Lock). The width variation represents a form factor option within the same product family.

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

A: The 1702811 packaging is listed as unspecified, while the 1702497 is supplied in Bulk packaging. This distinction affects procurement and inventory management but does not impact functional or electrical compatibility.
