Phoenix Contact 1704259 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1704259 is an 11-position terminal block plug with female sockets, 0.197" (5.00mm) 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 compatible substitute components essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1704259 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (UL: 10 A minimum), voltage rating (UL: 300 V minimum)
• Physical Compatibility: 11 positions, 0.197" (5.00mm) pitch, 180° wire entry orientation, free-hanging in-line mounting
• Termination Interface: Wire gauge acceptance range 12-26 AWG (0.5-4mm²), insulation height 0.591" (15.00mm)
• Regulatory Compliance: UL94 V-0 flammability rating, RoHS compliance

The Amphenol Anytek HW1170500000G meets all critical substitution parameters. While termination style differs (screwless push-in spring versus screw-type rising cage clamp), both designs accommodate the same wire gauge range and maintain equivalent electrical performance within specified ratings.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Amphenol Anytek HW1170500000G qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1704259 based on matched electrical ratings, physical dimensions, and regulatory compliance. The substitute part maintains active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. Both components satisfy UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS compliance standards. The transition from screw-type to screwless push-in termination represents a functional enhancement rather than a limitation, as both designs support the identical wire gauge range and maintain equivalent electrical performance within specified current and voltage parameters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Amphenol Anytek HW1170500000G directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1704259 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (11), wire entry orientation (180°), mounting configuration (free-hanging in-line), electrical ratings (10 A UL, 300 V UL), and wire gauge acceptance (12-26 AWG). Physical dimensions and connector interface are compatible.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: Termination style differs. The Phoenix Contact 1704259 uses screw-type rising cage clamp termination, while the Amphenol Anytek HW1170500000G employs screwless leg spring push-in termination. Both accommodate the same wire gauge range and deliver equivalent electrical performance.

Q: Are there compliance or certification differences?

A: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability standards. The Phoenix Contact part carries RoHS Compliant status, while the Amphenol Anytek part carries ROHS3 Compliant status. The substitute part is active in production, whereas the original is obsolete.

Q: Does packaging differ between these components?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1704259 is listed with unspecified packaging, while the Amphenol Anytek HW1170500000G is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements with your procurement specifications.

Q: Are operating temperature ranges specified for both parts?

A: Operating temperature is not specified for the Phoenix Contact 1704259. The Amphenol Anytek HW1170500000G operates across -40°C to 115°C. Confirm temperature requirements for your application.
