Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1709283 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Current rating (41A IEC/UL), voltage rating (1 kV IEC / 600V UL)
Physical Compatibility: 4-position configuration, 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch, 180° wire entry orientation
Mechanical Compatibility: Screw-type rising cage clamp termination, free-hanging in-line mounting, M3 screw size with 0.7-0.8 Nm torque specification
Material & Safety Compliance: Polyamide housing, UL94 V-0 flammability rating, tin contact finish
Wire Compatibility: Support for 8-24 AWG (0.2-10mm²) wire gauge range

The substitute part must maintain all these parameters without deviation to ensure direct functional and mechanical interchangeability.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1718287 is a direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1709283 model. Both components share identical electrical ratings, mechanical dimensions, pitch specifications, and termination methods. The 1718287 maintains full compatibility across all critical parameters required for interchangeability.

The primary distinction between these parts is product status: the 1709283 is obsolete, while the 1718287 is active and currently in production. The 1718287 also carries ROHS3 compliance certification, providing enhanced regulatory alignment for new designs and ongoing procurement. Both parts maintain equivalent RoHS compliance and MSL ratings.

Minor feature differences exist: the 1709283 includes a mating flange, while the 1718287 features a latch lock mechanism. These design variations do not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility and represent design evolution within the COMBICON IPC series.

For applications currently using the 1709283, direct substitution with the 1718287 is supported without modification to connector interfaces, wire termination procedures, or electrical specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Phoenix Contact 1718287 directly replace the 1709283 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both components maintain identical pitch (0.300" / 7.62mm), position count (4), wire entry angle (180°), electrical ratings (41A / 1 kV IEC, 41A / 600V UL), and termination method (screw-type rising cage clamp). Physical and electrical interchangeability is complete.

Q: What is the significance of the feature difference between mating flange and latch lock?

A: The mating flange on the 1709283 and latch lock on the 1718287 represent design variations within the COMBICON IPC series. These features do not affect core electrical performance or mechanical compatibility. Selection between these features depends on specific application requirements for connector retention and mating interface design.

Q: Does the ROHS3 compliance of the 1718287 affect compatibility with systems designed for the RoHS-compliant 1709283?

A: No. ROHS3 compliance is a superset of RoHS compliance, indicating enhanced regulatory adherence. The 1718287 is fully compatible with all applications previously using the 1709283.

Q: Are there any wire gauge or termination differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components support identical wire gauge ranges (8-24 AWG / 0.2-10mm²), screw size (M3), torque specification (0.7-0.8 Nm), and wire strip length (10mm).

Q: What packaging options are available for the 1718287?

A: The 1718287 is supplied in bulk packaging, compared to the original packaging specification for the 1709283.
