Weidmüller 1703000000 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1703000000 is a 2-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 7.62mm pitch, designed for 90° free-hanging (in-line) applications. This component features screw-clamping termination and operates across IEC and UL voltage/current ratings. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where inventory is unavailable.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Weidmüller 1703000000 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Configuration: 2-position plug with female sockets and 90° wire entry orientation
• Mounting & Form Factor: Free-hanging (in-line) design
• Electrical Ratings: Minimum IEC 500V / 13A or UL 300V / 15A compliance
• Termination Method: Screw-based clamping mechanism
• Wire Compatibility: Support for 12-26 AWG (0.08-2.5mm²) wire gauges
• Material & Safety: UL94 V-0 flammability rating

The Phoenix Contact 3045402 qualifies as a functional substitute based on matching connector type, 2-position configuration, 90° wire entry, free-hanging mounting, screw termination, wire gauge compatibility, and UL94 V-0 rating. Electrical ratings exceed the original specification (IEC 24A/500V, UL 20A/600V), providing enhanced performance margin.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 3045402 is the identified substitute for the obsolete Weidmüller 1703000000 based on functional equivalence across all critical parameters. The substitute maintains identical connector configuration, wire entry orientation, mounting type, and termination methodology. Both components carry UL94 V-0 flammability certification, meeting safety requirements.

The Phoenix Contact 3045402 is classified as active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity. Electrical performance of the substitute exceeds the original specification in both IEC and UL ratings, providing operational margin without introducing incompatibility. Wire gauge compatibility remains consistent across both AWG and metric specifications, with the substitute supporting an extended upper range (4mm² vs. 2.5mm²).

Selection of the Phoenix Contact 3045402 is appropriate for direct replacement in applications currently using the Weidmüller 1703000000, provided mechanical fit and connector interface compatibility with mating components are confirmed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 3045402 directly replace the Weidmüller 1703000000 in existing installations?

A: The Phoenix Contact 3045402 matches the critical functional parameters of the Weidmüller 1703000000, including 2-position configuration, 90° wire entry, free-hanging mounting, and screw termination. Direct replacement is feasible provided the mating connector interface is compatible with the Phoenix Contact housing and contact geometry.

Q: What are the key differences between these two parts?

A: The primary differences are manufacturer identity, product status (obsolete vs. active), and electrical rating enhancements. The Phoenix Contact 3045402 provides higher current capacity (24A IEC, 20A UL vs. 13A IEC, 15A UL) and higher UL voltage rating (600V vs. 300V). Wire gauge range is extended to 4mm² maximum. Housing material differs (Polyamide/Nylon vs. Polybutylene Terephthalate).

Q: Are there any compatibility concerns with wire gauge differences?

A: Both components support 12-26 AWG wire gauges. The Phoenix Contact 3045402 extends the metric range to 4mm² (vs. 2.5mm² maximum for the Weidmüller). This represents an enhancement rather than a limitation, as all wire sizes compatible with the original part remain compatible with the substitute.

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

A: The Weidmüller 1703000000 is classified as obsolete, indicating discontinued manufacturing and limited availability. The Phoenix Contact 3045402 is active product, ensuring reliable supply, ongoing technical support, and continued compliance with current standards.

Q: Do both parts meet the same safety certifications?

A: Both components carry UL94 V-0 flammability rating. The Phoenix Contact 3045402 is RoHS Compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited), while the Weidmüller 1703000000 is REACH Unaffected with MSL Not Applicable. Both are classified under ECCN EAR99 and HTSUS 8536.90.4000.
