Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1709270 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (41A IEC), voltage rating (1 kV IEC), and wire gauge capacity (8-24 AWG / 0.2-10mm²) must match exactly
Mechanical Compatibility: Pitch (0.300" / 7.62mm), number of positions (3), plug wire entry angle (180°), and mounting type (free hanging in-line) must be identical
Termination Compatibility: Screw-type rising cage clamp termination style and M3 screw size with matching torque specification (0.7-0.8 Nm) are required
Material and Safety Compliance: Housing material (Polyamide/Nylon), flammability rating (UL94 V-0), and RoHS compliance status must be maintained
Physical Dimensions: Insulation height (0.902" / 22.90mm) and wire strip length (10mm) must align with the original design

The Phoenix Contact 1718274 meets all substitution criteria as an active equivalent component within the COMBICON IPC series.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1718274 is the direct equivalent substitute for the obsolete 1709270. Both components are manufactured by Phoenix Contact within the COMBICON IPC series and maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and dimensional specifications. The 1718274 is currently in active production status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.

The 1718274 carries ROHS3 compliance certification, representing an advancement over the RoHS compliance of the original part. Both components maintain UL94 V-0 flammability ratings and are suitable for applications requiring 41A current capacity at 1 kV voltage levels.

The primary distinction between the two parts is the feature set: the 1709270 includes a mating flange, while the 1718274 features a latch lock mechanism. Both configurations maintain the same electrical performance and mechanical interface specifications. Selection between these variants should be based on the specific mechanical requirements of the application assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1718274 directly replace the 1709270 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. The 1718274 maintains identical pitch (7.62mm), position count (3), wire entry angle (180°), electrical ratings (41A / 1 kV), and termination specifications (M3 screw, 0.7-0.8 Nm torque). Physical dimensions and mounting type are equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the mating flange and latch lock features?

A: The 1709270 includes a mating flange for mechanical alignment during connector mating. The 1718274 incorporates a latch lock mechanism for positive engagement. Both provide secure mechanical connection; selection depends on assembly design requirements.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: The 1709270 was supplied with unspecified packaging. The 1718274 is supplied in bulk packaging. Verify packaging requirements for your procurement process.

Q: Does the ROHS3 compliance of the 1718274 affect compatibility?

A: No. ROHS3 compliance represents an enhancement over RoHS compliance and does not impact electrical or mechanical performance. The 1718274 is fully compatible with applications designed for the 1709270.

Q: What wire gauges are supported by the 1718274?

A: The 1718274 supports 8-24 AWG wire gauge range, equivalent to 0.2-10mm² cross-sectional area, matching the original 1709270 specification.

Q: Are both parts suitable for the same voltage and current applications?

A: Yes. Both components are rated for 41A at 1 kV (IEC) and 41A at 600V (UL), making them electrically interchangeable for equivalent circuit designs.
