• Enhanced Electrical Performance: Current ratings increase to 24A (IEC) and 18.5A (UL), providing additional capacity margin for existing applications.
• Improved Environmental Protection: IP20 ingress protection rating provides enhanced protection against dust and contact hazards.
• Regulatory Compliance: Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and REACH unaffected status, meeting current environmental and safety standards.

The substitute part is suitable for direct replacement in applications currently utilizing the 1708400000, with no modifications to mating connectors or wiring configurations required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1013190000 directly replace the 1708400000 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts maintain identical pitch (5.08mm), position count (12), wire entry orientation (180°), and wire gauge compatibility (12-26 AWG). The mating interface is fully compatible. The substitute part features enhanced current ratings and active product status.

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

A: The 1708400000 uses spring cage tension clamp termination, while the 1013190000 employs leg spring push-in spring termination. Both are screwless designs and provide equivalent electrical and mechanical performance for the specified wire gauge range.

Q: Are there any packaging differences between the main part and substitute?

A: The 1708400000 is supplied without specified packaging, while the 1013190000 is packaged in boxes. This difference does not affect component functionality or compatibility.

Q: Does the IP20 rating on the 1013190000 provide additional benefits?

A: The IP20 ingress protection rating on the 1013190000 provides enhanced protection against dust ingress and accidental contact compared to the unspecified rating on the 1708400000. This is beneficial in industrial environments but does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS and REACH compliant?

A: Yes. Both the 1708400000 and 1013190000 are RoHS compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental regulations for electronic components.
