Phoenix Contact 1714905 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Phoenix Contact 1714905 is a 26-position rectangular receptacle connector with IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) termination, designed for ribbon cable applications. This connector features a 1.27mm pitch, dual-row configuration, and gold-plated contacts. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives essential for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations where this connector type is specified.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the Phoenix Contact 1714905 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector geometry: Receptacle configuration with 26 positions in a 2-row arrangement
• Contact pitch and spacing: 0.050" (1.27mm) pitch and row spacing for mechanical and electrical compatibility
• Termination method: IDC technology for ribbon cable integration
• Mounting configuration: Free hanging, in-line orientation with latch lock fastening
• Electrical and environmental compliance: ROHS3 and REACH compliance status

The HARTING 15290262502000 satisfies all substitution criteria. While contact finish differs (tin versus gold), both finishes meet the electrical performance requirements for this connector category and maintain compatibility with standard IDC ribbon cable termination practices.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The HARTING 15290262502000 is a direct functional substitute for the Phoenix Contact 1714905. Both connectors meet ROHS3 and REACH compliance requirements, ensuring regulatory alignment for current manufacturing and deployment standards.

The primary distinction is product status: the Phoenix Contact part is obsolete, while the HARTING equivalent is active production. This status difference, combined with documented inventory availability of the HARTING part, supports its selection for new applications and ongoing system support where the original connector is no longer procurable.

Contact finish variation (gold to tin) does not compromise electrical performance or mechanical compatibility in standard IDC ribbon cable applications. Both finishes provide adequate contact resistance and durability for this connector category.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the HARTING 15290262502000 directly replace the Phoenix Contact 1714905 in existing assemblies?

A: Yes. Both connectors share identical pitch (1.27mm), position count (26), row configuration (2), mounting type (free hanging, in-line), and fastening mechanism (latch lock). IDC termination compatibility is maintained, allowing direct substitution in ribbon cable applications.

Q: Does the difference in contact finish affect compatibility?

A: No. Both gold and tin contact finishes meet electrical performance requirements for IDC connectors in this category. Contact resistance and durability are equivalent for standard signal and power applications.

Q: Why is the Phoenix Contact 1714905 listed as obsolete?

A: Obsolete status indicates the manufacturer has discontinued production. The HARTING 15290262502000, with active production status, provides continuity for applications requiring this connector type.

Q: Are there any mechanical or dimensional differences between these connectors?

A: No mechanical or dimensional incompatibilities exist. Both connectors maintain identical pitch, row spacing, mounting configuration, and latch lock fastening, ensuring mechanical interchangeability.

Q: What is the significance of the 30 AWG wire gauge specification for the HARTING part?

A: The 30 AWG specification indicates the wire gauge for which the HARTING connector is optimized. This aligns with standard ribbon cable gauges used in IDC applications and does not restrict compatibility with the Phoenix Contact application.

Q: Are both parts compliant with current regulatory standards?

A: Yes. Both the Phoenix Contact 1714905 and HARTING 15290262502000 are ROHS3 compliant and REACH unaffected, meeting current environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic component procurement and deployment.
