Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1013740000 is a direct functional substitute for the obsolete 1708350000. Both components share identical mechanical interfaces, pitch specifications, and wire gauge compatibility, ensuring drop-in replacement capability in existing connector systems.

The substitute part offers improved electrical performance with higher current ratings (24A IEC vs. 17A IEC) while maintaining voltage specifications. The termination method differs from the original (push-in spring vs. tension clamp), but both employ screwless spring-based mechanisms suitable for the same application environments.

The 1013740000 maintains full compliance with RoHS and REACH requirements and carries an active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain stability. The addition of IP20 ingress protection on the substitute part provides enhanced environmental sealing compared to the original specification.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1013740000 directly replace the 1708350000 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical 7-position configuration, 0.200" (5.08mm) pitch, 180° wire entry orientation, and free-hanging mounting type. Mechanical and electrical compatibility is confirmed across all critical parameters.

Q: What is the difference in termination methods between these parts?

A: The 1708350000 uses tension clamp termination, while the 1013740000 employs push-in spring termination. Both are screwless spring-based systems suitable for the same wire gauge range (12-26 AWG) and operating conditions.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences?

A: The 1013740000 provides higher current capacity (24A IEC vs. 17A IEC and 18.5A UL vs. 15A UL) while maintaining identical voltage ratings (400V IEC, 300V UL). This represents an upgrade in electrical capability with no reduction in performance.

Q: Why is the original part obsolete?

A: The 1708350000 is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. The 1013740000 represents the current active equivalent within the Omnimate BL series, offering improved specifications and continued manufacturing support.

Q: Does packaging differ between these parts?

A: The 1708350000 has no specified packaging designation, while the 1013740000 is supplied in box packaging. This affects logistics and inventory management but does not impact component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1708350000 and 1013740000 are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component distribution and use.
