Phoenix Contact 1702963 Terminal Block Header - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1702963 is a 9-position terminal block header with female sockets designed for panel-mount applications. This component features a green color designation, right-angle PCB pin configuration, and snap-lock mounting mechanism. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations. Substitute parts must maintain electrical performance, mechanical compatibility, and physical dimensions within specified tolerances.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1702963 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Specifications: Voltage rating (600 V UL) and current rating (5 A UL) must be maintained or exceeded
• Mechanical Configuration: 9 positions per level with 0.400" (10.16mm) pitch spacing
• Connector Type: Header with female sockets on front panel; PCB pins with right-angle orientation on rear
• Panel Mount System: 2-piece snap-lock mechanism compatible with 0.039 ~ 0.118" (1.0 ~ 3.0mm) panel thickness
• Color Specification: Green designation
• Series Compatibility: COMBICON DFK-IPC series
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant status

The Phoenix Contact 1702565 meets all substitution criteria within these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1702565 is the designated substitute for the obsolete 1702963. Both components are manufactured by Phoenix Contact within the COMBICON DFK-IPC series and maintain identical electrical ratings (600 V UL, 5 A UL), mechanical configuration (9 positions, 0.400" pitch), and regulatory compliance (RoHS compliant).

The 1702565 is currently in active production status with confirmed inventory availability, whereas the 1702963 is obsolete. The 1702565 provides functional equivalence for all electrical and mechanical applications requiring a 9-position terminal block header with female sockets and right-angle PCB pin configuration.

Physical width differs between the two parts (5.217" versus 4.550"), which may affect panel layout considerations in space-constrained applications. Panel thickness compatibility remains identical across both components.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1702565 be used as a direct replacement for the 1702963?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (600 V, 5 A), mechanical pitch (0.400"), position count (9), connector type (female sockets), and panel mount system (2-piece snap lock). The 1702565 is the active production equivalent.

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

A: The 1702963 measures 5.217" (132.52mm) in width, while the 1702565 measures 4.550" (115.56mm). This dimensional difference must be evaluated against available panel space in existing designs. Both parts maintain the same electrical and mechanical interface specifications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1702963 and 1702565 are RoHS compliant and carry MSL rating of 1 (Unlimited).

Q: What panel thickness range is supported?

A: Both components support panel thicknesses from 0.039" to 0.118" (1.0 to 3.0mm) using the 2-piece snap-lock mounting mechanism.

Q: Why is the 1702963 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1702963 has been discontinued by Phoenix Contact. The 1702565 represents the current active production alternative within the COMBICON DFK-IPC series.
