Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1702895 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Specifications: Voltage rating (600V UL) and current rating (5A) must be maintained or exceeded
• Mechanical Configuration: 2-position layout with 0.400" (10.16mm) pitch is mandatory for connector compatibility
• Interface Type: Header with female sockets on front panel and right-angle PCB pins on rear panel
• Panel Mount System: 2-piece snap lock mounting mechanism
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL rating (1 - Unlimited)
• Series Compatibility: COMBICON DFK-IPC series designation

The substitute part 1702497 meets all these criteria while offering active product status and equivalent electrical and mechanical performance.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1702497 is the direct substitute for the obsolete 1702895. Both components share identical electrical ratings (600V UL, 5A), mechanical pitch (0.400"), position count (2), and interface configuration. The primary distinction is product status: 1702497 maintains active manufacturing status with current availability, while 1702895 is obsolete.

Both parts carry RoHS compliance certification and equivalent moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring regulatory and environmental compatibility. The width difference (2.417" versus 1.750") reflects design variations within the same functional class but does not affect electrical or core mechanical compatibility for standard applications.

For new designs or system replacements, the 1702497 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance where the exact 1702895 form factor is required, dimensional verification against the specific panel cutout is necessary before substitution.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can Phoenix Contact 1702497 directly replace 1702895 in existing installations?

A: Electrical and mechanical compatibility is confirmed. The primary consideration is the width difference (2.417" to 1.750"). Panel mounting cutouts and flange clearances must be verified for the specific installation before substitution.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 600V UL and 5A current, with identical pitch (0.400") and 2-position configuration.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The 1702895 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing. The 1702497 maintains active status with ongoing production and availability. For new procurements, the active part is the standard selection.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both are RoHS compliant with MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), meeting equivalent environmental and regulatory requirements.

Q: Is the snap lock mounting mechanism identical?

A: Both use 2-piece snap lock mounting. The 1702895 specifies "Front Flange" while 1702497 does not; this represents a minor design variation that does not affect functional compatibility in standard applications.

Q: What packaging differences exist?

A: The 1702895 packaging is not specified in available data. The 1702497 is supplied in bulk packaging, which is standard for active production components.
