Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1704217 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (UL) of 10 A minimum and voltage rating (UL) of 300 V minimum
• Mechanical Compatibility: 7 positions, 5mm pitch, 180° wire entry, free-hanging in-line mounting
• Wire Accommodation: Support for 12-26 AWG wire gauge range
• Physical Dimensions: Insulation height of 0.591" (15.00mm)
• Safety Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance

The Amphenol Anytek HW0770500000G meets all critical substitution criteria across electrical ratings, mechanical configuration, wire gauge support, and dimensional specifications. Termination style differences (screw-type versus screwless spring-based) do not preclude substitution when electrical and mechanical parameters align.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol Anytek HW0770500000G is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1704217. Both components satisfy identical electrical specifications (10 A UL current, 300 V UL voltage), mechanical configuration (7-position, 5mm pitch, 180° entry, free-hanging mounting), and wire accommodation (12-26 AWG). Both achieve UL94 V-0 flammability compliance and RoHS certification requirements.

The primary distinction is termination methodology: the Phoenix Contact uses screw-based rising cage clamp termination, while the Amphenol Anytek employs screwless push-in spring termination. This difference does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. The Amphenol Anytek component carries active product status, ensuring ongoing availability and supply chain continuity compared to the obsolete Phoenix Contact part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol Anytek HW0770500000G directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1704217 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical ratings (10 A UL, 300 V UL), mechanical configuration (7 positions, 5mm pitch, 180° wire entry), wire gauge support (12-26 AWG), and dimensional specifications (0.591" insulation height). The termination method difference does not affect compatibility.

Q: What is the significance of the termination style difference?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1704217 uses screw-based rising cage clamp termination requiring torque application (0.45-0.5 Nm). The Amphenol Anytek HW0770500000G uses screwless push-in spring termination. Both methods achieve equivalent electrical connection and current-carrying capacity. Selection depends on assembly process requirements and operator preference.

Q: Are both components RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. The Phoenix Contact 1704217 is RoHS Compliant. The Amphenol Anytek HW0770500000G is ROHS3 Compliant, representing a more recent compliance standard. Both satisfy RoHS requirements.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by the substitute part?

A: The Amphenol Anytek HW0770500000G supports 12-26 AWG wire gauge range, identical to the Phoenix Contact 1704217. Wire strip length for the substitute is specified as 8-9mm.

Q: Is the Amphenol Anytek part currently available?

A: Yes. The Amphenol Anytek HW0770500000G carries active product status with 922 pieces in stock, ensuring supply availability. The Phoenix Contact 1704217 is classified as obsolete.
