Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1704369 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Position count and pitch: 6 positions at 0.197" (5.00mm) spacing
• Orientation and mounting: 90° right-angle through-hole configuration
• Electrical ratings: Minimum UL compliance of 10A at 300V; IEC ratings of 14.6A at 400V preferred
• Termination method: Solder termination required
• Compliance standards: UL94 V-0 flammability rating and RoHS compliance

The Würth Elektronik 691312710006 qualifies as a functional substitute based on matching position count, pitch, orientation, mounting type, and termination method. While the substitute exhibits different shroud configuration (2-side shrouded versus partial shroud) and housing material (PBT versus PA/Nylon), these variations do not prevent functional equivalence in applications where the main part's electrical and mechanical specifications are required.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Würth Elektronik 691312710006 is the identified equivalent substitute for the obsolete Phoenix Contact 1704369. Selection of this substitute is supported by the following engineering factors:

• Active product status: The substitute maintains active manufacturing status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Compliance alignment: Both parts meet UL94 V-0 flammability requirements and RoHS standards, with the substitute offering enhanced ROHS3 compliance.
• Electrical performance: The substitute provides superior current rating (20A UL versus 10A UL), ensuring compatibility with applications designed for the original part's 10A specification.
• Mechanical compatibility: Identical pitch, position count, orientation, and through-hole mounting enable direct PCB footprint compatibility.
• Termination consistency: Both parts utilize solder termination, maintaining assembly process compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Würth Elektronik 691312710006 be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 1704369?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical position count (6), pitch (5.00mm), orientation (90° right-angle), mounting type (through-hole), and termination method (solder). The substitute meets or exceeds the electrical specifications of the original part.

Q: What is the difference between partial shroud and 2-side shrouded configurations?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1704369 features partial shroud protection, while the Würth Elektronik 691312710006 provides 2-side shrouded protection. Both configurations provide mechanical support and contact protection; the 2-side shroud offers enhanced protection against accidental contact.

Q: Are there any compliance differences between these parts?

A: Both parts comply with UL94 V-0 flammability standards and RoHS requirements. The Würth Elektronik substitute carries ROHS3 compliance, representing current regulatory alignment.

Q: Does the higher current rating of the substitute affect compatibility?

A: No. The substitute's 20A UL rating exceeds the original part's 10A rating, ensuring full compatibility with applications designed for the original specification. Higher current capacity does not create incompatibility.

Q: What are the housing material differences?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1704369 uses Polyamide (PA/Nylon), while the Würth Elektronik 691312710006 uses Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT). Both materials meet UL94 V-0 requirements and provide suitable mechanical properties for terminal block applications.

Q: Is the contact tail length difference significant?

A: The Phoenix Contact part has a 0.138" (4.60mm) contact tail length, while the substitute has 0.157" (4.00mm). This difference may require PCB design verification to ensure adequate solder joint formation and clearance, though both lengths are within standard through-hole soldering parameters.
