Phoenix Contact 1704246 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1704246 is a 10-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 5mm pitch, designed for 180° free-hanging in-line applications. This component features screw-type rising cage clamp termination and supports wire gauges from 12-26 AWG (0.5-4mm²). The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1704246 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Electrical compatibility: Current and voltage ratings must meet or exceed UL specifications (10 A, 300 V minimum)
• Mechanical compatibility: 10 positions, 5mm pitch, 180° wire entry, free-hanging mounting configuration
• Wire accommodation: Support for 12-26 AWG wire gauge range
• Physical dimensions: Insulation height of 0.591" (15.00mm)
• Regulatory compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance

The Amphenol Anytek HW1070000000G satisfies these substitution criteria across all critical parameters, despite differences in termination style (push-in spring versus screw-type) and housing material composition.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol Anytek HW1070000000G is a direct functional equivalent for the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1704246. Both components meet identical electrical specifications (10 A, 300 V UL ratings) and share the same mechanical footprint, pitch, and wire accommodation range.

The HW1070000000G carries active product status with ROHS3 compliance, providing supply chain continuity and regulatory alignment for new designs. The component is available in bulk packaging with 1062 units in stock, compared to 707 units of the obsolete Phoenix Contact part.

The primary design difference—push-in spring termination versus screw-type rising cage clamp—does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility. Both termination methods accommodate the same wire gauge range and deliver equivalent current-carrying capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol Anytek HW1070000000G directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1704246 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (5mm), position count (10), wire entry angle (180°), electrical ratings (10 A, 300 V UL), and insulation height (15mm). Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters.

Q: What is the difference between screw-type and push-in spring termination?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1704246 uses screw-type rising cage clamp termination requiring M3 screws with 0.45-0.5 Nm torque. The Amphenol Anytek HW1070000000G uses screwless push-in spring termination. Both methods secure wires within the 12-26 AWG range and deliver equivalent electrical performance. Termination method selection depends on assembly process requirements and operator preference.

Q: Are there compliance differences between the two parts?

A: Both parts are UL94 V-0 rated and RoHS compliant. The Amphenol Anytek part carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment. Both are classified as EAR99 for export control purposes.

Q: What wire strip length is required for each part?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1704246 specifies 8mm wire strip length. The Amphenol Anytek HW1070000000G specifies 8-9mm wire strip length. This minor difference does not affect compatibility.

Q: Is the Amphenol Anytek part available in the same color as the Phoenix Contact original?

A: No. The Phoenix Contact 1704246 is green; the Amphenol Anytek HW1070000000G is black. Color difference is cosmetic and does not affect electrical or mechanical function.

Q: What is the operating temperature range for the substitute part?

A: The Amphenol Anytek HW1070000000G operates from -40°C to 115°C. The Phoenix Contact 1704246 operating temperature is not specified in the provided data.
