Phoenix Contact 1709306 Terminal Block Plug - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1709306 is a 6-position terminal block plug with male pins, 0.300" (7.62mm) pitch, designed for 180° free-hanging in-line applications. This component features screw-type rising cage clamp termination and supports wire gauges from 8-24 AWG (0.2-10mm²). The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of active equivalent models essential for ongoing procurement and system maintenance.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1709306 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Manufacturer and series consistency (Phoenix Contact COMBICON IPC)
• Identical position count (6 positions)
• Matching pitch specification (0.300" / 7.62mm)
• Identical connector type (Plug, Male Pins)
• Matching mounting configuration (Free Hanging In-Line)
• Identical wire entry angle (180°)
• Equivalent electrical ratings (41A IEC, 1 kV IEC; 41A UL, 600V UL)
• Compatible wire gauge acceptance (8-24 AWG / 0.2-10mm²)
• Matching housing material and flammability certification (Polyamide PA, UL94 V-0)
• Equivalent RoHS compliance status

The substitute part 1718300 meets all these criteria while offering active product status and improved feature set (Latch Lock mechanism).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Phoenix Contact 1718300 is the direct functional equivalent to the obsolete 1709306 model. Both components maintain identical electrical specifications (41A IEC, 1 kV IEC; 41A UL, 600V UL), mechanical configuration (6-position, 7.62mm pitch, 180° free-hanging), and compliance certifications (RoHS Compliant, UL94 V-0).

The 1718300 offers the advantage of active product status, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity. The addition of a Latch Lock feature in the substitute part provides enhanced mechanical retention without compromising electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Both parts are packaged identically in terms of functional specifications and are suitable for direct substitution in applications currently using the 1709306.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1718300 directly replace the 1709306 in existing applications?

A: Yes. Both parts are Phoenix Contact COMBICON IPC series components with identical electrical ratings (41A IEC, 1 kV IEC), mechanical configuration (6-position, 7.62mm pitch, 180° free-hanging), and compliance certifications (RoHS, UL94 V-0). The 1718300 is the active equivalent.

Q: What is the difference between the Mating Flange feature in 1709306 and the Latch Lock feature in 1718300?

A: These are distinct mechanical features. The Mating Flange on the 1709306 provides a reference surface for connector alignment. The Latch Lock on the 1718300 provides positive mechanical retention. Both features are compatible with standard COMBICON IPC receptacle housings.

Q: Are there any electrical performance differences between these parts?

A: No. Both components have identical electrical specifications: 41A current rating (IEC and UL), 1 kV voltage rating (IEC), 600V voltage rating (UL), and support the same wire gauge range (8-24 AWG / 0.2-10mm²).

Q: Why is the 1709306 listed as obsolete?

A: The 1709306 has been superseded by the 1718300 in Phoenix Contact's product line. The 1718300 maintains full functional equivalence while offering active product status and enhanced features.

Q: What packaging options are available?

A: The 1709306 was supplied in standard packaging. The 1718300 is available in Bulk packaging, with 1021 pieces currently in stock.
