Phoenix Contact 1705715 Terminal Block: Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1705715 is an 8-position wire-to-board terminal block with 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch, designed for horizontal mounting with press-fit PCB connection. This component belongs to the COMBICON EMKDS series and is classified as obsolete. Due to its obsolete status, identifying functionally equivalent active alternatives is essential for ongoing design support and procurement continuity.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The Phoenix Contact 1705605 qualifies as a functional substitute for the 1705715 based on the following critical parameters:

• Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain identical current (10 A) and voltage (300 V) ratings
• Mechanical Compatibility: Both support 8 positions at 0.150" (3.81mm) pitch with horizontal board orientation
• Wire Termination: Both use screw-type rising cage clamp termination with identical M2 thread and torque specification (0.22-0.25 Nm)
• Wire Gauge Support: Both accept 14-30 AWG conductors
• Material & Environmental: Both use polyamide housing, green color, and maintain MSL 1 rating

The primary difference between these parts is the mounting method: the 1705715 uses press-fit PCB connection (obsolete), while the 1705605 uses through-hole mounting (active product). This distinction does not affect electrical or functional performance when the PCB design accommodates through-hole mounting.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1705605 is the appropriate substitute for the obsolete 1705715 when PCB design modifications are feasible. The 1705605 maintains all critical electrical and functional parameters while offering the advantage of active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Through-hole mounting requires PCB layout adjustment compared to the original press-fit design, but this change does not affect electrical performance or signal integrity.

For applications where press-fit mounting is mandatory and cannot be modified, alternative press-fit terminal blocks from the COMBICON EMKDS series should be evaluated against the same parameter criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1705605 directly replace the 1705715 without PCB modification?

A: No. The 1705715 uses press-fit mounting while the 1705605 uses through-hole mounting. PCB footprint and via placement must be modified to accommodate the through-hole design.

Q: Are the electrical ratings identical between these parts?

A: Yes. Both parts support 10 A current, 300 V voltage, 14-30 AWG wire gauge, and identical screw torque specifications (0.22-0.25 Nm).

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

A: The 1705715 is obsolete and no longer manufactured. The 1705605 is an active product with ongoing manufacturing support and availability.

Q: Do both parts meet current RoHS requirements?

A: Yes. The 1705715 is RoHS Compliant, and the 1705605 is ROHS3 Compliant, both meeting current environmental standards.

Q: Is the wire termination method the same?

A: Yes. Both parts use screw-type rising cage clamp termination with M2 thread specification.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1705715 is available in standard packaging, while the 1705605 is supplied in bulk packaging.
