Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the Phoenix Contact 1713066 is permissible with the TE Connectivity AMP Connectors 796690-8 based on the following critical parameters:

Electrical Compatibility: Both parts maintain 300 V voltage rating and support 12-30 AWG wire gauge, ensuring functional equivalence in circuit applications.
Mechanical Compatibility: Identical 8-position configuration, 5.00mm pitch, 35° board angle, and through-hole mounting enable direct PCB layout compatibility.
Termination Method: Both employ screw-based rising cage clamp termination with M3 threads, allowing connector interchangeability.
Housing and Contact Materials: Both utilize polyamide housing with tin-plated brass contacts, meeting industrial durability standards.

The TE Connectivity 796690-8 exceeds the current rating of the Phoenix Contact part (17.5 A vs. 15 A), providing additional performance margin within the same form factor and electrical envelope.

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the Phoenix Contact 1713066 and TE Connectivity 796690-8 are active products with current regulatory compliance. The Phoenix Contact part carries RoHS compliance certification, while the TE Connectivity substitute meets ROHS3 compliance and is REACH affected. Selection between these parts should be based on supply availability, cost considerations, and existing design documentation requirements. The TE Connectivity part provides higher current capacity (17.5 A) within the same mechanical and electrical envelope, offering additional performance headroom for applications operating near the 15 A specification limit of the Phoenix Contact part.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the TE Connectivity 796690-8 be used as a direct replacement for the Phoenix Contact 1713066 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical pitch (5.00mm), position count (8), board angle (35°), voltage rating (300 V), wire gauge support (12-30 AWG), mounting type (through hole), and termination method (screw-based rising cage clamp). PCB layouts and connector mating interfaces are compatible.

Q: What is the difference in current rating between these parts?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1713066 is rated for 15 A, while the TE Connectivity 796690-8 is rated for 17.5 A. Both operate within the same 300 V electrical envelope. The higher current rating of the TE part does not affect mechanical or electrical compatibility.

Q: Are there differences in screw torque specifications?

A: Yes. The Phoenix Contact part specifies 0.5-0.6 Nm (4.4-5.3 Lb-In) torque, while the TE Connectivity part specifies 0.79 Nm (7.0 Lb-In). Both use M3 screw threads. Installation procedures should follow the torque specification of the selected part.

Q: What are the housing material differences?

A: The Phoenix Contact part uses polyamide (PA) nylon, while the TE Connectivity part specifies polyamide (PA66) nylon 6/6. Both are polyamide-based materials suitable for industrial terminal block applications.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: The Phoenix Contact 1713066 is RoHS compliant. The TE Connectivity 796690-8 meets ROHS3 compliance and is REACH affected. Both satisfy current environmental regulatory requirements for their respective markets.

Q: What is the moisture sensitivity level for these parts?

A: Both parts carry MSL 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage or handling.
